Although local hoards have receiv- ed numerous requests for certificates | to purchase canning sugar, registra- tions were not being accepted the be- | ginning of the week because of lack | of sufficient office supplies. { The OPA pointed out that demands | for commercialy canned foods for the | United States will make the canning | of locally grown food for home use ‘l direct contribution to the war effort. Fruit canning, it was explained, | will have to be done with thin syrup, | using one pound of sugar to every | four quarts of finished fruits. In ad- | dition each family will be allowed one pound of sugar per person for mak- ing jams, jellies and marmalades. | | | Only those who can show heoot | vices were conducted on Monday af-| ternoon at, the Scollon home, and in- | terment was in the North Barnesbo- | ro cemetery.

GAME COMMISSION IN FEUD OVER TAGS| The Game Commission is feuding with the State Welfare Department | over hunters’ license tags for 1942. The Welfare Department, which supervises the prison labor which | made the tags up to now, says that | due to the lack of tin the tags will | henceforth be made of oil paper. Appraised of the Welfare Depart- | ment statement, the Game Commis- sion hurriedly released a statement of its own to the effect that heavy fiber tags will replace the metal hunting | license plates which have been stand- | ard in Pennsylvania for many years. The change from coated tin to vul- canized fiber will make approximate- | ly ten tons of tin plate available for | war use and will save sportsmen $12,- 000, said the commission, The new tags will be the same size as the old | and for the convenience of those | who do not carry their license tags in a holder will have 16 holes punch- ed around the edges to enable hunt- ers to fasten them securely to their coats. Still to be decided is who will make the new tags, the Game Com- mission or the Welfare Department.
