TOP LIMIT OF rs
POUNDS CANNING
SUGAR ALLOTTED
Ration Boards to Receive Ap-
plications May Is Under
New Ruling
Except for Maximum Home
Canning Sugar Same as
Last Lear's Basis

Bluffton housewives will receive a
top limit of 25 pounds of sugar per
person for home canning and freez-
ing of this years fruit crop, accord
ing to an announcement this week
from the Office of Price Administra-
tion.
Except for the announced maxi
mum, home canning sugar will be
allotted on substantially the same
basis as last year-one pound of
sugar for each four quarts, or eight
pounds of the finished product.
Is Pound Maximum
With the 25 pound maximum, any
family may apply for sugar to put
up jams, jellies and preserves at the
rate of five pounds per person in
contrast to last years limit of one
pound.
Last year there was no nation
wide limit on the amount of sugar
allowed each person but some boards
set individual limits ranging from
10 to 45 pounds.
Price Administrator Prentiss Fl.
Brown urged this week that those
who can their own fruits should use
their processed food rations sparing-
ly.
Help War Effort
Every can of commercially packed
foods saved by these folks through
home canning is a direct contribution
to the war effort, Brown indicated.
Rationing boards throughout the
country will start on Saturday re-
ceiving applications for canning
sugar under the new regulation. No
special form is required unless it is
planned to sell the home product.
Applications may be made in person
or by mail at county ration head
quarters.
Need First Ration Book
Each applicant is required to fur
nish copy of war ration book No.
for each person for whom home
canning sugar is sought. Informa-
tion as to the total number of quarts
or pounds to be put up and the
amount of sugar to be used for max
ing jams and jellies should also be
indicated.
Home Gamers are permitted to
make gifts of both fruits and vege-
tables but no person may give away
more than so quarts. Any gifts
over that amount and all sales can
be made only by the collection of
blue stamps at the rate of eight
points per quart.

Turtle meat, long known as deli
cacy by epicures but neglected by
most people, is assuming a role of
renewed Importance as a substitute
for rationed meat.
TURTLES are easily caught, so say
the Bluffton sportsmen, and if one
wishes to do his own hunting he can
add a considerable quantity of tasty
meat to his table without the use of
a ration card.
Turtles are on the move in the

FACING
- THE -
FACTS
With PHILIP PEARL
With PHILIP PEARL

The workers of America are caught
in a squeeze" and naturally they are
going to yell their heads off until they
are released.
On the one hand, the President has,
to all intents and purposes, frozen
wages. Likewise, with Manpower
Commissioner McNutt's help, he has
frozen war workers to their present
jobs.
But on the other hand, prices-par-
ticularly food prices continue to soar
to the skies making it impossible for
workers to meet the cost Of living.
This ridiculous situation is the re-
suit of bureaucratic fumbling and ex-
perimentation with a matter of life or
death importance. 1t cannot long be
endured.
If the Government wants war work
ers to continue to produce the weap-
ons of war in record quantities, if it
wants to win the war in the shortest
possible time, it must correct these
mistakes.
You can't enslave a worker and
make him see the imperative impor-
tance of winning war to free the
world. You can't tie a worker hand
and foot with compulsory regulations
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1943-04-30
and expect results from him.
C0mpulsion Won't Work

No wonder protests against the
new regulations are pouring in from
all over the land. No wonder reports
of reduced production are beginning
to crop up.
1t begins to look as though the
Government has decided to abandon
the voluntary system of cooperation
in favor of compulsory methods. We
serve notice here and now that COM
pulsion won't work in America.
We don't say that the Government
has willingly or deliberately sought
to freeze workers to their jobs and
freeze their pay at the same time. We
realize the fact that the leaders of
our Government must have come to
the conclusion that there is no other
way out of the nations economic fix
before taking such drastic action.
What we do say is that the leaders
of our Government have either been
misinformed as to the facts or don't
know the facts. Apparently they
don't know the temper of American
workers if they think these workers
will passively submit to economic
slavery.
Perhaps some of our Government
chiefs have been misled by the fact
that the leaders of American labor
have been eager to cooperate in all
war programs thus far. They may
think that the labor boys are a bunch
of "softies" who will stand for any
thing. If so, they are due for rude
awakening.
Certainly labor has cooperated with
the Government to the hilt. Certainly
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1943-04-30

figures and every time ceiling is
announced a new scheme is figured
out by industry to get around the limi-
tation. Visit any retail store if you
want proof. Prices for the most ordin-
airy articles have broken through
every ceiling.
But it's not only question of dis
elimination against labor. The situa-
ton is much more serious than that.
The problem now is how working
man can get along and make living.
The problem is how can he continue
at his job when the Government i'm
poses conditions which make it i'm
possible for him to render the best
service of which he is capable.
That is the immediate problem. But
there is an even more fundamental
question involved That is whether
workingmen are pawns of the State or
free citizens. 1t seems to US that we
are fighting war over this issue. The
Government itself has told us the is
sue in this war-or at least one of the
issues-is free labor versus slave la
Dor. On last Labor Day the war agen-
cies of the Government adopted
slogan. 1t read:-"Free Labor Will
Win"
How, we ask, can free labor win if
the freedom of American labor is de-
stroyed in the process?
