onoe taken against any sugar he may

hospitals, public institutions and public
eating places generally, In which term
are included boarding houses who take

Hundreds of letters have come to the
Food Administrator Office In the past
| two weeks which It IL absolutely impos
sible to answer promptly on account Of
the new sugar program which went into
effect July 1st. This correspondence Il
being classified and will be answered a
the earliest possible moment. The Foot
Administration has been working nigh
and day to get people properly classified
and sugar certificates into the hands oil
the proper persons.
Manufacturers who applied for sugal
statements at the eleventh hour OF thu
old quarter, or who failed to make salts
factory statements of their sugar con
sumption by July 1st, are doubtless
annoyed by the delay in getting favor
able advice from the Orono Office. Al
far as possible the Food Administration
will handle first the requirements o.
those manufacturers who established
satisfactory records of sugar consump
ton In May and up to June 10th, which
was the limit for fling applications I'M
der Glass A. The lateness of many ap
plicstlons was due to the fact that tbs
manufacturer had surplus of sugar or
hand and preferred to use his sugar
regardless Of the 80 per cent rule cover
ing all Class A activities.
The Food Administration announced
to-day that 1t should be distinctly under
stood that all applications must be flee
on or before July 18th to entitle th'
applicant to sugar for the balance of th'
year. Local Food Administrators vii
provide statement forms which shoult
be sent to Food Administrator Leon 8
Merrill, ut Orono, Maine.
