- ~ - FEAA~~
The war Price and Rationing
Boards in the Columbus District
will begin issuing sugar for cam
ing fruits and making iellies April
16, John II. Summons, director of
/ OPA's Columbus district office,
announced today.
This year housewives viii get
all of their home canning sugar by
Applying TO their local Boards. No
ration stamps needed, based on in
formation furnished by the house
wife.
The total amount of canning
sugar allowed for each person will
not be more than 20 pounds this
year. No more than $50 pounds
family can be allowed even if
there are more than eight persons
init
For canning fruits and fruit
juices, the allowance will be on the
basis of one pound of sugar for
each four quarts to be canned.
Within the 20 pound maximum
allowance, five pounds of sugar
/ for each person will be allowed for
canning vegetables and for making
Jams, ieilies, reliSheS, catSup, etc
Stocks AT Lowest Level
For people who produce home
canned foods for sale, no more
sugar than was used for this pur-
pose during 1914 will be allowed
this year
Sugar supplies" Mr.. Summers
pointed out, are feeling the pinch
of a long war Stocks for this time
of year are the lowest since the
war began. Military needs are
high Ships that otherwise might
be bringing sugar into this country
are hauling supplies TO the battle
fronts. Manpower and machinery
for the refinerieS are scarce. Sub
Stantial increases in production
are unlikely.
In this SiEltation OPA simply
had 10 tighten up. We cannot af-
ford an over issuance of home can
ming sugar such as occurred last
year when, throughout the country
we used 100000 tons more than
. the total allotment.
Nevertheless, if only those
people who actually will use sugar
for home canning apply for it,
there will be enough to preserve
as much fruit as was prepared in
homes last year"
