The 'Purchase of Sugar i is | Now Regulated by Law A prudent precaution, the quantity of sugar which may ly be consimed in any household is now restricted by law to an amount of thre¢-quarters of - one pound per person per week, and it is now unlawful to purchase more than two weeks' supply at any one time or .to make any purchase if present supplies are . . 2 . : . This -step has been taken to conserve the satisfactory reserve stock of sugar in Canada and is an assurance to the consumer that there is no reason for heavy Ration coupons will not be used to enforce the sugar limitations in Canada. The supply of sugar in our country has been under control for more than two and a half years and the homekeeper has always been able to satisfy her needs; she will continue to be able to do so and the price- ceiling law protects her' against any The maintenance of the new regulation governing the purchase of sugar rests, as the success of all laws in a democratic country must rest, upon the loyal support of the people. Any consumption of sugar in excess of the quantity stipulated by this regulation is not only an offence against the law, but is also a betrayal of the war effort and consequently an offence against decency. Reports received from retailers indicate that in some districts there has been misunderstanding of the requirements of the law. In some cases, people are under the i impression that they should at once lay in a sufficient supply for two weeks; this g of course is not necessary because a continued supply of sugar is assured. In other cases it has been assumed that a greatly restricted ration is to be made effective in the £0 near future. This is incorrect because The Wartime Prices aid Trade Board has _Mr. and Mrs. Phipps had their. son ens an amount of not more than five pounds. already stated that the sugar supply situation is such that requirements of the _ consumer at the rate of three-quarters of a pound per week can readily be supplied. _ As a means of protecting consumers from unknowingly breaking the law, it is suggested to retailers that, for the present, they Yong les to anyone customer 0 Summary of Sugar Rationing Regulations 1. The ration is 34 pounds per person per week, including adults, children and infants, members of the family, boarders, servants, and guests who remain for four days or more. 2. Purchase your sugar in the ordinary way, but not more than two weeks' supply at a time. No coupons, stamps or tickets are required. 3. Do not purchase any sugar if yo have two weeks' or more supply on hand. , 6. :Economize on sugar. in every way you can; some people can get along on less than the ration. Persons dining in hotels, restaurants, etc, are expected. to restrict their sugar consumption. 7. Additional supplies of sugar will be made available for home preserving and canning. 8. The restriction applies only to cane and beet sugars of all kinds--granulated sugar, deing, sugar, fruit sugar, brown. sugar, raw' sugar, etc, - 9, Industrial users of sugar, "hospitals and: other institutions, hotels and restaurants, will be advised by the Sugar Administrator how the sugar restrictions, will affect them, / ' 10. 'Retailers are entitled to refuse sale or to limit sales to any person te have reason to believe is tins to fissegasd thie law, rt ; / '4. - Persons-in remote areas who-are not able to buy ---- every week or two weeks may continue to buy more than two weeks' supply at a time, but should measure their consumption at the ration rate, namely 34 pounds per person per week. 8. Lumber camps and other firms providing board for their employees must see that consumption -is restricted to 34 poynds per week per person, effective immediately. 14 Vigorous steps will be taken to punish wilful infractions of the law.
