Zurich Herald, 1943-03-25, Page 4.AGI POUlt LUW HOW TO FILL OUT YOUR APPLICATION F CAN IN'C SUGAR This 'year housewives must estimate in .advance the amount of sugar required for canning and rani -leaking, so that arrangements may be made to provide and distribute the necessary supplies, Applications must be sent in to your Local Ration Board by April l5t:h. Use the application in your new Ration Book for this purpose. ('inning sugar will be allowed for all fresh fruits, including citron and ,wild fruits. harrow, tomatoes. and pumpkins are considered as vegetables and no canning sugar will be allowed fur them. CANNING Allow A lb. of sitar for each quart seeder. Es) Miele tht TOTAL number of quart sealers you plan to put up --then use the quick. practical method of allowing '3;4 1•h, of sugar for each quart sealer. Don't try and decide exactly the num- her of each kind of fruit you plan to put up. Some fruits may be more plentiful than others. Base your estimates on the number of sealers you have ou hand, what you put up last year, or what you think your needs will be this year. as 15,Un PJ '"�tA ergwTa Your completed ap• plication must be seat to your Local Kation Board by JAM or JELLY MA 6G' G Allow 11/2 lbs. of sugar for each quart of jam or jelly. Most people use jars of various shapes and sizes. Take a num- ber of the jars you usually use and see how many cupfuls of water they hold. Four (1.) cups make a quart. In this way you wil) be able to estimate the number of quarts of jam or jelly your jars will hold. Then allow 11/2 lbs. of sugar per quart for your requirements. For example, for 8 quarts of jam or jelly, you will require 12 lbs. of sugar. Eginlatea based on ,hese methods are within the canning sugar ration, and the amounts are satisfactory for wartime canning and sang and jelly making, as proven by test in the Dominion Department of Agriculture experimental kitchens. Mrs. Jones has decided that her canning programme will be 10 quarts of fruit of different kinds. She allow one-half pound of sugar for each quart, and therefore will need 20 pounds of sugar for canning. She decides that she will put up 6 quarts of jani and jelly. Slee -allows 11� pounds of sugar for each quart of jam, and therefore will need 9 pounds of sugar for jam and jelly making. She adds the two amounts of sugar together (20 -i- 0) and writes the total (29 pounds) on her application, together with the number of persons she intends • to feed in her own household. To her own fully completed application form she attaches the application forms of the other persons in her household she is planning to feed. Only the in- dividual serial cumbers need be given on these accompanying application forms. In estimating your canning and jam -malting requirements, storage space should be carefully considered. Poor storage may cause spoilage and waste. Canned fruit should be kept in Remember—False Statements are Subject to the Full Penalty of the Law RATION ADMINISTRATION IMPORTANT NOTE The Dominion Department of Agriculture recommends canning fruit in preference to making jam or jelly because: More fruit can be put up with less sugar and at less cost. Canned fruit retains more of the vitamin value of the •fresh fruit. WHEN AND HOW CANNING SUGAR WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE When your Local Ration Board has re- viewed your application you will be pro- vided, sometime before June 1st, with special canning sugar coupons. These cou- pons will entitle you to buy sugar, at any grocery store, at specified intervals. You do not have to buy all your sugar at once. COMPLETE AND SEND IN YOUR APPLICATION BEFORE APRIL 15 Complete your application form as shown in the illustration and mail it to your Local Ration Board not later than April 15th. Attach the application forms from the ration books of the other persons you will be feeding in your household. Do not write any - thin g but the serial numbers of the owners on these other forms. Simply copy the serial numbers from the front of their ration books on to their application. forms and pin them .to u yo, --?sea • rirliyacia nple"ted"`appiicatiOu. a cool, dry, dark place.

CANADA FACES A WOOD -FUEL FAMINE NEXT WINTER ARE YOU one of the Canadian householders who burned fences, doors, and even flooring to keep warm in this winter's sub -zero weather ? Or perhaps you are one of the lucky ones who just managed to scrape through? In either case, you will want to be prepared for next winter when greater hardships loom unless you take immediate action. The shortage already has affected many communities ... total stocks of dry wood are nearly exhausted ... in some places the small supply of green wood cut for next winter is being used now to meet the present emergency. Throughout most of Canada, fuel -wood is obtained not far from where it is' consumed. Its production and distribution are the business of local citizens. The Dominion Government recognizes that the wood -fuel shortage is so serious that even with the full co-operation of everyone in affected corn. munities an adequate supply is not assured. Accordingly, it has been decided to stimulate the output of wood -fuel by, assisting those normally engaged in its production and distribution. To this end, the following measures will be adopted. 1 A subsidy of $1.00 per cord will be paid to dealers on all commercial fuel -wood contracted for and cut on or before June 30, 1943, and held to dealers' account on that date. 2 The Coal Controller has been authorized to arrange in his discretion for the payment of such portion of the transportation costs as he considers proper in respect of fuel -wood, particul- arly in cases where dealers, to procure supplies, find it necessary to contract for fuel -wood at locations outside the area from which they normally derive their supplies. In order to obtain any such reimbursement, dealers must obtain a permit from the Coal Controller before contracting for such supplies. 3 The Coal Controller will repurchase from dealers at dealer's cost all commercial grades of fuel -wood on which a subsidy of $1 per cord has been paid and which are still in dealers' hands as at May 31, 1944. 4 Assistance will be given in providing priorities for necessary equipment. 5 Farmers now on the farm, and who leave the farm temporarily in response to this appeal to engage in fuel .wood cutting, will be deemed by National Selective Service to be carrying out their regular ddarer cup ti s farmers and will be given all the rights militaryof service which such an occupa- tion now carries. Such temporary absence should not, however, interfere with agricultural production. Municipal councils, farmers, fuel dealers, individual citizens, service clubs, and all other groups in communities where wood -fuel is burned, are urged to begin at once a rapid survey of their local situation, and to take imme- diate action to relieve the shortage.
