ALLOT 10 POUNDS
OF CANNING SUGAR
FOR EACH PERSON
Spare Stamps from War Ration
Book Will Be Used 0PA
Announces
First Five Pound Stamp is Now
Good; Another in June
or July

Canning sugar this year will not
be any more plentiful than it was
in 1945, with the supply situation
continuing under a restricted distri-
button program even tho the war
has ended.
Advance notice that canning SUI
gar this year likely will be limited
to 10 pounds per person was served
last week by OPA officials, in an
nouncing that the first five pounds
will be available beginning this week
on Spare Stamp No. 9 in War Ra-
tion Book No. 4.
OPA spokesman said they expect
to validate a second home canning
stamp in June or July, and altho the
value of the second stamp cannot be
fixed now they felt it likely will not
be good for more than five addition
al pounds of sugar.
AVERAGE MORE THAN LAST YEAR
A grant of 10 pounds a person it
is estimated would be three and one
half pounds more than the average
home canning allotment last year,
but there were many who received
as much as Is and 20 pounds per
person in the fumbled handling of
OPA's 1945 distribution.
Original allotments last year were
made on the basis of 20 pounds of
sugar per person. This later was
cut to Is, then sharply slashed to
five pounds. In the fall, those who
received five pounds were eligible to
apply for an additional FIVE, but
many missed out or neglected to get
the extra amount because the can
ming season was long past.
With canning sugar available in
only limited quantities this summer,
fruit cellar shelves depleted during
the war will have to go thru another
year without being re-stocked in
normal supply.
DLOW III kUtf TANNING
Announcement of the 10-pound
limit per person blasts hopes area
housewives entertained that 1916
might bring a good fruit year and
plenty of sugar to can it.
About the only break for the
Bluffton family in the 1916 canning
sugar program is the fact that a
new method of handling canning su-
gar distribution will make it un-
necessary to make application for
canning sugar to local ration boards.
Spare stamps of ration books will
be used for canning sugar this year,
procedure that materially simpli-
fes matters for Bluffton area resi-
dents and others who did not reside
in centers where ration boards were
located.
STAMP Now Coon
Spare stamp No. 8 validated last
Monday is the first of this years
two sugar canning stamps, and the
five pounds purchased with the
stamp should be used for canning
according to OPA releases.
The continuing shortage of sugar
is booming the demand for this
years maple syrup production, ever
tho prices are standing at recoro
high of $3.50 per gallon.

RICHMOND VA. TO have
NEGRO POLICE OFFICERS

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. (ANP)
The possibility that Negroes may
be appointed to the local police
force was brought out here by
Mayor Herbert and Safety Direc-
tor Anthony.
The mayor said he will take "def-
inite action" on the appointment of
a number of Negro policemen for
duty in the Negro sections when
the placement of some 80 former
policemen who are still in the army
has been settled.
81 have discussed the possibility
of appointing Negro police on sew
eral occasions with the safety di-
rector, chief of police and with
white and Negro citizens" Herbert
disclosed. "On each occasion they
have been told that there is a place
for Negro police among Negro cit
liens, but for the present l wanted
to consider the replacement of our
returning veterans, after which we
propose to take some definite ac-
tion on this matter"
Mayor Herbert denied that he
had promised to appoint Negroes
to the police force during his cam
paign, nor was the matter brought
to his attention by anyone, he said.
While he gave no exact number
that will be appointed, Anthony is
reported to have estimated that
about eight will be given appoint
ments, with the remark that Ne
gro police officers will have to be
of a higher calibre than white Of
ficers, because they will have a big
ger job to do.
Negroes received superior train
ing in the army, he is said to have
told a group of business and pro-
fessional men here recently.
