WASHINGTON. July l3 (INS).
With sugar coming in faster

OPA said today that American
housewives will be given every OPP
portunity 10 conserve fresh fruit

There Is no specific limitation
on the amount OF sugar which q
family may obtain for the pur-
poses OF home canning" officials
said. Local boards are author
lied to permit the use of any
reasonable amount of sugar for
home canning with the under
standing that. with each pound
of sugar. four quarts OF fruit
will be canned"
Ripening fruit crops in several
large sections of the country
prompted the reassuring statement
from price administration head

the conservation of fruit fully as
important as the conservation Of
sugar"

SIX POUNDS A FAMILY

At the same time, officials dis
closed that, under normal condi-
lions. an average of approximately
six pounds of sugar per capita is
used in home canning.
Giving an overall picture of the
sugar situation, the OPA reported
that the nation, under rationing.
is consuming about 475,O0 tons OF
sugar per month including lend
lease and the armed forces, and is
being supplied. out of its own
crops and all imports, at the rate
iof 564, 523 tons per month.
The small excess OF supply will
enable the nation to bring its

below normal. back to a sound
level, the OPA said. Stocks on
hand now are 1,654,000 tons
against. 1858 900 tons at this time
last year, 16 per cent decrease.
BONUS DECLARED

that OPA decreed a two-pound

In view of theD unpredictable
shipping conditions, the possibility
of a second front and other fac
