Army Takes Pack
Washington (A*)—The War
Production board has ordered
canners to set aside the entire
1942 pack of salmon, sardines,
mackeral and Atlantic herring
to fill the needs of the armed
services and the lend-lease pro
gram.
Officials emphasized, however,
that the order did not necessar
ily mean that none of the 1942
pack would be available to civil
ians. “Because of the uncertain
ty of supply and demand,” the
order explained, "it is thought
best to require that the entire
pack be set aside, then if full
supply is not needed the remain
der can be released for civilian
use.”
Of the estimated 1942 pack
of 5,400,000 cases about 2,500
GOO are required by the the gov
ernment. Canners. must set aside
any pack processed from March
1 to Febiuary 8, 1943 and each
canner must make weekly reports
to the WPB as to quantity of
fish canned. If pack thus set
aside is not purchased by the
government within 30 days after
filing the report the canner may
notify theWPB and the fish
covered will be released to the
civilian market.
