Just a few more weeks, and the housewife will get 10 instead of five pounds of sugar for each stamp she turns in. Restaurants, hotels and other Feating places also will get in- creased rations, adjusted to the rise in other consumer rations, according to a joint statement by the OPA and the Dept. of Agri- culture. The OPA also indicates that home consumers also may expect another sugar stamp (with the same 10-pound value) to go into effect on July 1, barring unfor- seen reductions in the 1947 sugar crop and other adverse develop- ments. Doubling of the Apr. 1 and the July 1 values for home consump- tion will raise this year’s sugar ration to 35 pounds per person. During 1946, individuals got 25 pounds each. However, during 1947 the lady of the house can’t count on an extra canning sugar allowance, as the OPA has announced no such stamps will be issued this year. The OPA and the Dept. of Ag- riculture issued their bonus an- nouncement in the expectation scheduled to expire Mar. 31 will be extended by Congress. Johnstown mill.
