SUGAR FOR JAM-MAKING NOT IN DEMAND
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, August 17. Little inclination to draw the extra sugar ration for jam-making, which has been available since July 15. has been shown by Dominion housewives, according • to the Rationing Controller, Mr/J. E. Thomas. In all centres the demand has been only light, suggesting that most households were managing within the ration of 12oz a person weekly. Mr Thomas said that the additional allocation had been given as a result of representations by fruitgrowers and the general public. According to several-grocers many women preferred to wait for the allocation of sugar in the main jam-making season. If they used the August supply for jam and applied for its replacement, that amount would be deducted from any special isspe made later.
