Huntington, Aug 30. Mrs. Frank Wheeler, Republican State Exec Committee member from Cabella County, decries rigid sugar rationing threatening large fruit crop losses during the canning season. She notes peaches and berries are plentiful in parts of the country while pears and apples will come in, yet two spare stamps for five pounds remain the limit. She urges seasonal distribution to prevent waste, but OPA rules give no geographic preference in emergency areas.
