War Food Moves to Ease Sugar Shortage and War Toys
The War Food Administration pledges stepped up sugar production from western and midwest sugar-beet factories as inventories run low. Civilians gain more preserving and canning goods, condensing milk, and other wartime comforts while families await better sugar supplies. The WPB reports 495,000 shotguns and rifles for farmers and law enforcement, with toy guidance for Christmas including fewer sleds and more durable, wood and metal toys amidst wartime shortages.
