Show 'SUGAR STAMP 13 KVALID JUNE 1 The Office of Price Administration Administra-tion announced this week that sugar stamp No 13 in War Ration Book One will become valid on June 1, and will be good for five pounds of sugar through Aug 15. This will maintain the current ration of five pounds of sugar for a period of two and a half months. Stamp No .12, also good for five pounds of sugar, expires on May 31. The OPA explained that the early announcement of the next sugar ration period is being made to enable the sugar trade to plan its operations well in advance, and thus make the best possible use of plants, labor, and transportation transpor-tation facilities This is particularly particular-ly important now, the OPA said, because of the anticipated additional addi-tional demands for sugar for home canning on and after May 15. |
