JAM MAKING
HOUSEWIVES' SUGAR RATION
(PA.) WELLINGTON, this day. Little inclination to draw the extra sugar ration for jam making, which has been available since July 15, has been shown by Dominion housewives, according to the Rationing Controller, Mr. J. E. Thomas. In all centres the demand has been only light, suggesting that most households were managing within the ration of 12oz a person weekly. He added that the additional allocation had been given as a result of representations by fruitgrowers and £he general public. According to several grocers, many women preferred to wait for the allocation of sugar in the main jam making season. If they used the August supply for jam, and applied for its replacement, that amount would be deducted from any special issue made later.
