SOLDIERS' PARCELS
CANNED GOODS AND SUGAR (By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.) WELLINGTON, this day. "Arrangements are being made to release substantial quantities . of canned fruit and vegetable products immediately, in addition to the considerable quantities which have been released during the past two months," said the Minister of Supply, Mr. Sullivan, in the House of Representatives yesterday. He was replying to a question by Mr. Langstone (Govt., Waimarino) on behalf of the member for Napier, Mr. Barnard. The question asked the Minister to indicate when the promised release of substantial quantities of canned goods would be available for inclusion in soldiers' parcels, and also when the promised additional sugar ration to next-of-kin for cakemaking would be available. The Minister said that as in the case of previous distributions, the canned goods would be disposed of through normal trade channels throughout the Dominion. Arrangements were already under way for the release of extra sugar to the next-of-kin of all members of the services serving overseas for making cakes for inclusion in Christmas parcels. The details would be announced later by the Rationing Controller.
