Officials of the Office of Price Administration in Newark, New Jersey, allotted 5,459,997 pounds of sugar for home canning from April 1 to October 27. After careful study of this figure, the officials declared that if all this NUgar had been used for fruit canning, it would have made 21.839,988 quart jars and, laid end to end, these jars would have covered the distance from Newark to London, England. This would have given eight and a half quarts of canned fruit to every man, woman, and child in the 21 North Jersey counties covered bv this lxiard.
Adding the sugar allotted to the manufacture of. alcoholic beverages in the State, many families in Europe w r ho have not tasted canned fruit for many years, could have been bountifully supplied. From “The Union Signal," January 5, 1946.
