The Minister of Food announced on Monday that he had
changed his scheme for sugar distribution. His original plan took the household as the unit. His new plan deals with the individual. Each person who has already been registered with a retailer as a member of a household will now have to fill up a separate declaration and receive a " retailer's sugar ticket " ; parents of course will make declarations for their children. Three persona who had not been registered with a retailer will fill up a form, to be obtained from the post office, and will receive from the Ministry of Food a ration paper which the post office will exchange for sugar coupons. Presumably these unregistered persons were so numerous that the household scheme threatened to break down. The Poet Office has come to the rescue and added to its multifarious duties. The public's chiefly interested to know whether in fact it will be able is get the sugar.
