In Philadelphia Federal District Court, OPA charged that many U.S. sugar refineries have stopped making sugar. They have found it far more profitable to make cane syrup...
...Laboratories (ice cream mixes, fruit flavors, etc.). Chandler has an annual quota of 23,396 Ibs. of sugar. Yet, charged OPA. it made a deal with four Louisiana sugar refineries (Vermillion Sugar, Abbeville; Erath Sugar, Erath; Ruth Sugars, St. Martinville; D.

Some of the youngsters could remember England only hazily. Others were frankly dubious about life in the British Isles. Like explorers setting off for darkest Africa, some had provisioned themselves heavily with flapjack flour, maple syrup, gum, catsup and other gastronomic delights. Small boys clutched baseball mitts and comic books. Older girls wore open-toed shoes, shuddered at an awful possibility-England might be "too dead" after the giddy pace in U.S. high schools...
