WE EFFERVESCE AND COOL
Like their basketball teams and gridiron
elevens, the American people are hot and cold
on any subject or problem that they face, they

That is exactly the situation that England
faced when Adolph Hitler stalled swaggering
across the stage in Europe.
Our enthusiasm for peace is subsiding.

The OPA sugar ration to Indi
vidual consumers now is the same
as last year. The sugar ration to
industrial users i bakers, food man
ufacturers, etc.) is based upon their
1941 usage.
W Dietendorf, Idaho OPA ration
ing executive, said the present ra
tion to bakers and food manufac
turers was 70 per cent of their 1941
use. A year ago the same group
was receiving 75 per cent. Candy
makers and beverage bottlers are
alloted 60 per cent of their 1941
consumption compared with 65 pel
cent a year ago. Ice cream manu
facturers are receiving 60 per cent
of the 1941 base compared with 70
per cent last year.
McCrea said officials of his com
pany "believe the present sugar
shortage could be alleviated con
siderably by OPA If the quanlty of
sugar to both Industrial users and
housewives was Increased." He said
a ration Increase would stimulate
production.
