May Increase Sugar Ration In Canada This Year
Canada could raise the per person sugar allotment this year if it follows the United States in adjusting scarce commodities. US consumers gain about 17 pounds per person in 1947, with Canada potentially rising from 74 76 pounds to about 82 83 pounds. Butter and sugar remain the key table items, and relief for households may come when supplies return to meet demand.
