Sugar Available For Home Canning In 1943
Sugar for home canning of 1943 fruit crops will be available to housewives on roughly the same basis as last season. C C Anderson, state director of the Office of Price Administration, said no blue stamp deduction will be made from War Ration Book Two for sugar obtained for this purpose. In 1942, housewives applied for sugar at one pound per four quarts of fruit. WPB has approved production of bottles and caps for home canning, enabling an extensive national program to augment rationed foods.
