CANNING SEASON IS OVER :
NO USE TO ASK FOR SUGAR
Food Administrator Wells Says
He Is Pleased with Patriotic
Cooperation of Washington
. County Housewives.
JOHN TRACHSEL TO FIX
ROAD NORTH OF TOWN
Inasmuch as the period for is
suing permits for canning sugar
will close with this month, we
desire to inform the public of
Washington County that it will
not be of any avail to write this
office for further canning per
mits after this date.
If it were possible, and the
sugar allottment of Oregon and
Washington County would per
mit, we would be glad to con
tinue granting permits until ev
ery last apple, pear and quince in
the Tualatin Valey was in the
can, well sweetened.
Owing to the large amount of
fruit produced in this county,
and the consequent large amount
of home canning, Washington
County during the past three
months has overdrawn its quota
considerably.
The canning allowance for the
season was placed at 20 pounds
per person. While there has
been an occasional grumble, the
majority of the women of the
. county have made .a wonderf nil'"'
economic and patriotic showing
in the canning of fruit. The writ
er anpreciates that it almost
breaks the heart of any.thrifty
woman whose husband and chil
dren like canned and preserved
fruit, to have fruit and not to be
able to preserve it for lack of
sugar especially these days
when butter and everything else
are "out of sight." .
One could not help but appre
ciate it after, reading the thous
ands of tearful appeals that have
come to this office this summer.
Yet there is only so much supt
ar. The total visible supply is
divided each month between the
Allied nations, The portion of
the United States is divided
among the States according to
population. The allottment
ranges around four or five
pounds per month which must
cover table, canning manufac
tures, everything. It is easy to
see that such fruit producing dis
tricts as Washington County are
quite apt to exceed their allott
ment during the canning season.
To the occasional grumbler we ,
could only say that mighty few I
families in Britain. France and
Italy received anything like 20
pounds of sugar for canning.
People do not miss what they
have not had, however, and the
writer wishes to express appre
ciation of the patriotic and eco
nomical manner in which the
large majority of Washington
County ladies, who have been
used to unlimited sugar, have
adapted themselves to the war
conditions and made one pound
of sugar do what three used to
do. Yours truly, CHAS. E.
WELLS, County Administrator.
Mrs. J. Stroud, who has been
very low with an attack of pneu
monia, following la gripe, is at
present much improved and all
hope for her speedy recovery.

it was decided to proceed with
