Figures Explain
Sugar Shortage
For Home Usage
Figures which explain the pres
enl shortage of sugar for civilian
consumption were issued recently
by the local war price and ration
board. Authorities have stated
that but 700,000 tons of sugar will
u na.ntintiia ihia vpnr for home
canning as compared to 1,500,000
tons last year.

to this Is the fact that military

as much sugar as is allotted to
civilians.
No Belief Seen
No relief Is in sight for the
sugar situation, it is said. Produc
tion in Europe, is at a standstill.
Russia, which produced 2,700,000
tons in 1940-41, fell to 800,000
tons in 1941-42 because of the
"scorched earth" practice of the
armies and no reports are avail
able now of any sugor production
In any of the European countries.
These countries are now being
supplied a little sugar through the
Red Cross and lend-lease agencies,
It Is stated, but the main supply
still goes for military uses and
It is thought relief will not be
forth coming ior ui icasi iwu
years.
The critical sugar situation is
In no way a local problem and
is even more acute in eastern sea
board cities, where houswlves In
many cases can buy but one
pound of sugar at a time, It is re
ported. Residents are urged to
realize every phase of the situa
tion has been considered by the
war food administration and the
office of price administration and
that the problem cannot be allevi
ated by fruitless complaints level-
led at local officials.

Veteran Groups Make Plans
For Annual Poppy Day Sale
"I am Remembrance. Though
all the world forgets, we will not
forget. Every poppy Is a' symbol
of a boy who did not come back.
Wear one over your heart In mem
ory of the dead. Wear it to help
the living. Wear it as a hope a
dream of a better world. Wear It
as a pledge for God and country."
This is the message of the red
paper poppies, which will bloom
again over the nation, on Friday
and Saturday, May 25-26, when
all members of the American Le
gion auxiliary, tholr relatives and
friends, will voluntarily solicit the
generous sliver offerings of the
public, in exchange for a poppy
pinned over every loyal heart.
Each poppy carries a label
which states that it was made by
a patient in an Oregon Veterans'
hospital. The 1945 poppies have
been made by veterans of both
World War 1 and World War II,
and this year for the first time,
it has been an almost enual distri
bution. These patients have been
