Home Gamers 10 Gel
BPounds Of Sugar
Per Person in Family
OPA to Allow 5 Pounds
Per Person for Jams,
JeIIies and Preserves
BY the Associated Press,

oS Tie ASSOCldleQ PTeSS.
The Office of Price Admins
tration today fixed a top limit of
Is pounds of sugar per person
for home canning and freezing
of this years fruit crop.
Except for the specific maximum,
sugar for home canning will be allo-
Gated on substantially the same basis
as last year-one pound of sugar for
each four quarts Cor eight pounds
of the finished product.
With the 25-pound limit, any FAM
lily may apply for sugar to put up
jams, jellies and preserves at the
rate OF five pounds per person. Last
year the limit for preserves was one
pound.
Conservation Urged.
There was no Nation wide limit
last year on the amount of sugar
allowed each person, but some
boards set individual limits of 10
or IS pounds. while others allowed
as much as As pounds.
Price Administrator Brown urged
those who can their own fruits and
vegetables to use their processed
foods rations sparingly.
Every can of commercially packed
foods saved by these folks through
home canning is direct and impor-
tant contribution to our war effort"
he said. 1--WE can run the total
into hundreds of millions of cans.
Let's do it,
Gifts Limited.
Beginning May Is, ration boards
throughout the country will begin
receiving applications under the new
regulation. No special form is re-
quired, unless it is planned to sell
the home product, and applications
may be made in person or by mail.
Each applicant must furnish a
copy of War Ration Book No. l for
each person for whom home canning
sugar is sought, the total number of
quarts or pounds to be put up and
the amount of sugar to be used for
making jams and jellies.
Home Gamers may make gifts of
both fruits and vegetables, but no
person may give away more than so
quarts. Any gifts in excess of that
amount, and all sales, can be made
only by the collection of blue stamps
at the rate OF 8 points per quart.

committee led by Rep. Lyle H.
Boren CD Of Oklahoma. will con-
duct three-day investigation here
this week TO determine what steps
Congress might take to alleviate
the present shortage OF newsprint.
The meetings will begin on Wed
nesday and last through Friday.
Newspaper publishers have been
squeezed between restrictions on the
use Of paper ana the growing de-
mands both OF readers for more
papers and Of advertisers for more
space.
Shipments OF newsprint from Can
ada which produces more than ~
per cent OF the newsprint consumed
here are down us per cent and
further reductions are in prospect.
Canadian producers fear that the
reduction in newsprint output may
have postwar effects and are now
seeking to have the Dominion gov
eminent recognize the essentially
OF the industry. A man-power short
age is one OF the chief obstacles TO
boosting production OF the vitality
needed newsprint In Canada.
