CANNING SUGAR COUPONS NOW VALID Announcing that the remaining five canning sugar coupons became valid July 6th, F. C. Butt, Ontario dirtctor of rationing for the Wartime Prices and Trade Board, paid particular tribute to newspapers. Mr. Butt expressed thanks for their continued co-operation in publishing ration calendars and other clarifying explanations of the routine by which every civilian gets his or her legal share of rationed commodities. "Without the aid of the press our job would be immeasurably more difficult, "he said. "Despite regular dissemination of information, the flow of enquiries indicates that a portion of the public is still in the dark about certain phases of rationing," Mr. Butt stated. 'Canning sugar coupons are now leading in the ration quiz. Housewives can't seem to remember that the first ten "F" coupons in ration book 3 were set aside for this purpose. The first five coupons, FI to F5, became valid May 25th, while the second block, F6 to F10, became valid on Thursday, July 6th. "Another point the ladies are not sure about, "the director added, "is how they go about exchanging their canning sugar coupons for preserves coupons. They merely have to take their ration books containing the "F" coupons to their nearest local ration board where the exchange will be made without delay,' he pointed out. Equally important, to mothers at least, is provision of rations for babies. A ration book is waiting for the new arrival, Mr. Butt explained. Any adult member of the family may apply for it from their local ration board, presenting the baby's birth certicate or baptismal card. If these certificates are not available the applicant signs a simple affidavit Special arrangements have been made to ensure adequate quantities cf canned evaporated milk for babies. For instance: In 'restricted' areas, such as Southern Ontario, special evaporated milk coupons are available for children under two years of age, the director explained. These are obtainable at the local ration boards. Each coupon is good for 96 fluid ounces, usually obtained in the form of 16-ounce cans. Other persons who require this type of milk for their diets may also obtain coupons by presenting a medical certificate. A hint is one of the few things never injured by being dropped. Let's Face . the Facts/ =Shortage of Materials: i%Shortage of Farm Help are available in greater quantities this year but still not enough to meet the demand. The Dominion Government authorized increased production of Farm Machinery and Pumping Systems because it was recognized that labor-saving devices were necessary for the farmers to increase production of farm products. We will supply our Duro Dealers with as many Duro Pumps as materials and manufacturing facilities will permit, but War Production must come first. Keep in touch with your Duro Dealer -- he will do his best to take care of your needs. He will also assist you to secure permit to purchase from your Rationing Officer at the Wartime Prices and Trade Board. EMCO Quality Bathroom Fixtures and Fittings are still available in a good range of styles and prices. Consult your EMCO dealer regarding those now available.
