V Sugar for Canning. 11 lbs Per Person, , The Wartime Prices and Trade Board have allotted for canning in this district 62,720 pounds of sugar - This means that the Local District Board can only. allot 11 pounds of sugar per person for canning. As the coupons are only good for 5 pounds each the ration will for nibsta families amount to 10 lbs; per per-• son as the Wartime Prices and Trade Board has ruled that the ration must. be reduced to the even five pounds per coupon,. Thus families of 1 to 4 persons will average out at 10 pounds per person. Families. of 5 persons and upwards will gain slightly. The local board has 18,075 appli- cations for canning sugar and their request was a much greater amount than the district has been allowed. Coupons for canning sugar will be issued by the local board about the lst of June and these will be maile& so do not call for your coupons at: • the local office as this will only com- plicate and delay the issuing of them.
