new STAMP VALID
TUESDAY STEPS UP
SUGAR SALES HERE
Housewives Skimping on Scanty
Rations Hasten to Re-
plenish Supply
New Stamp Is First Since Ra-
ti0ning Good for 10 Pounds
of Sugar

Bluffton housewives who have
skimped on scanty sugar rations
since early in the war had a field
day Tuesday when spare stamp No.
IL became good for 10 pounds of
sugar.
Except for use of substitutes,
many households would have ex-
hausted their sugar supplies weeks
ago and women lost no time in CASH
ing in the new sugar stamp. Gro
Gerry stories reported a brisk and
steady influx of customers through
out the day. Sugar stocks here are
reported ample for all demands.
No IL was the first regularly
issued stamp since sugar rationing
began, to carry an allotment of 10
pounds Heretofore sugar stamps
have been good for five pounds.
GUARANTEES 90 POUNDS SUGAR
The new sugar control bill passed
by congress and signed by the Presi-
dent Monday extends the wartime
sugar rationing program for seven
months and guarantees housewives
at least 20 pounds of sugar between
now and October 81.
Housewives, Tuesday, were specu-
lating as to how far the new allot-
ment of sugar will go in event of a
bumper fruit crop this summer. Pos
sibility of a good fruit yield is based
on the fact of late spring this year

cold snap in May with the result
that virtually all home grown fruit
was scarce here last summer.
