Builth Rural, Colwyn Rural, and Builth Wells Urban. Food Control Committee. I « j DISTRIBUTION OF I SUGAR FOR JAM. FoRMS of application can be obtained on and after March 23rd at the offices of the Local Food Control Committees, and must be returned on or before April 4th. Applications will be considered only when they are made by persons actually growing the fruit which they wish to preserve. The form of application will require the applicant to state, among other things, the number of persons rationed for Sugar as members of his household, and the amount of fruit which he is likely to have available for preserving. The extent to which such applications can be met will be determined by the Director of Sugar Distribution in conjunction with the Local Food Committees. Two Classes of permit will be issued to Applicants, one for suft fruit available between the 8th June and 31st July, and the other for hard fruit available between 1st August and 30th September. Soft fruit will be taken to mean any fruits normally ready for preserving before the end of July, and in this category rhubarb may be included. Hard fruit will be taken to mean any fruits ready for preserving after 31st July, and in any area where vege- table marrows are usually preserved the Local Committee may in its discretion include them also in this category. Where Local Committees decide to include marrows, they will require applicants to state what weight of marrows they have included in the estimated weight of fruit likely to be available for preserving. It has been decided that in no case shall the total amount of sugar for making jam for home consumption exceed ten pounds per head of the household. There will be many people, 'however, who will have fruit in sufficient quantities to enable them to use more sugar than this, and in these cases they will be in- vited to state what weight of fruit they are prepared to convert into jam, on the under- standing that they are to place the jam so made at the disposal of the Local Committees at prices not exceeding the current. wholesale prices. It is requested that all correspondence on this subject may be directed to the Local Committees,-aud not to the Sugar Department ef the Ministry of Food. Signed on behalf of the above Committee. W. W. LENNARD, Builth Wells. Executive Officer. 27/3/18 rl067/64/283
