County Price and Rationing board purchase certificates were issued to 2239 family units during the month of August for a total of 74689 pounds of canning sugar During July 2279 sugar purchase certificates were issued for 48591 pounds of canning sugar This would mean that during the mid smmer canning program a to tal of 123280 pounds of sugar were issued on sugar purchase certifi cates to a total of 3815 family units On the basis of government requirements that four quarts of fruit be canned for each pound of sugar it would appear that there will be canned in this county this year a total of 434080 quarts of fruit This is after subtracting the one pound per person allowed for preserves Presuming that the pop ulation of Pike County is 20000 this would indicate that there will be this year an average of 22 quarts of canned fruit for each man wom an and child in the county Added to the thousands of quarts of vege tables that will be canned it would indicate that residents of the coun ty will have available this winter a pretty well rationed diet In addition to the above figures there were rationed in the spring I canning program 71900 pounds of sugar to 3815 applicants The local rationing board had the services of volunteer registrars at 10 strategic points throughout the county and it was through the wholehearted cooperation of these workers that the two canning

l( It has been suggested in the col umns of this newspaper before that consumers should be careful in the use of their No 8 stamp on the war ration stamp books The No 8 stamp which is redeemable for the purchase of 5 pounds of sugar is the ration for 10 weeks or until Oc tober 31 Some do not fully under stand that it is to run for that time and it is suggested that families not use all their stamps at one time but to use stamps just as they need sugar so as to guard their supply and not make too great a demand upon the storekeepers and their somewhat limited stocks of sugar i Tiizs rbuZUv
