ONTARIO Price Control And Rationing Information Typical questions consumers have asked the Wartime Prices and Trade Board this week are answered below by the Central Ontario Consumer Q. Is there now any good reason why one should not serve tea, cake and sandwiches at afternoon or even- ing affairs? A. There no regulation which prohibits serving tea, cake and sand- wiches, providing, of course, that the rationed articles are purchased with members own ration coupons...the Board’s policy is not to restrict any activities unnecessarily-but we all know that goods in short supply should be used as carefully as poss- ible. . .particularly now when we think of invasion and the possibility of our having to help feed the people of Europe..,it is patriotic to cell- servc wherever possible. * ’5 Â¥< Q. I received my No. 4 Ration Book this week through the mail. ‘Can you give me any reason why they should have taken some coupons out of my book? A. Persons applying for their No. 4 book cne month after the date of general distribution forego the cou- pons which became valid during that month...it is reasonable to assume that persons who did not apply for their new books did not require ra- tioned commodities at that time. * * * is Q. I have two sons in the army and two daughters in the navy. Every week I like to send them boxes of W Wowmmn TINSMITH Eave Troughing, Repairs to Heavy Metal Parts on Farm Implements GENERAL TINSMITH WORK FINDLAY FURNACE DEALER PAUL DUBOIS 57 Yonge St., phone Richmond Hill 147w and Equipment I‘ 0W...“ «mm. Your post-war buses aren't built yet, but they'll be just as smart as the one in the picture. Right now, Gray Coach Lines is working all out forVictoryâ€"transporting men and women of the armed services, taking war workers to work and serving essential civilian travel. However, we haven't forgotten our regular cakes and cookies which I make myâ€" self. Can I seture extra rations of butter and sugar for this purpose? A. S..rry, no cxtra rations are al- lowed for purpose you mention ...the armed services provide rations for all their nlclnbcrs...any extlas would have be purchased with coupons from your own ration book. it * ik the [(2 Q. I am takingr my 8 months old baby to a clinic every month. The doctcr charges 83,00 for this service while in 1940 he only charged $2.00. Is he allowed to do this? A. There is no ceiling on profesâ€" sional fees...the doctor is supposed to charge a price which is reason- able and just. a: it» i Q. Would you please let me know whether it is compulsory to purchasr underwear in older to obtain a pair of silk stockings. I found this to be the condition in several stores. A. It is not compulsory to purchase underwear in order to obtain a pair of silk stockings...conditional sales such as you mention are prohibited by a Board Order...if there was a supply of silk stockings in the store you should have been able to pur- chase them without the necessity of buying other merchandise you did not need or want. However, the dis- play of merchandise does not put the owner of the store under any obliga- tion to se‘ll, . .the fact that he rffered you the stock'ngs if you made an- other purchase is illegal. . .thank you for giving us the name and location of this shop...we will have their practices investigated.

HISLOP, Phone 177 Richmond Hill ,Plans to Relieve liarm Labor Shortage Most of the agricultural workers who had been engaged lll essential offâ€"season work since the autumn of 1:143 had returned to their farm «Tut- lcs by the first of April. 19-14. In certain instances, permits were ex~ tended beyond that date in districts where the farming season was not sufficiently advanced to make the re turn of farmers essential. Last. fall a total of 73.149 farm workers was granted special Selective Service per- mits to work in the woods, in pack- ing plants or to enter other essen- tial employment for the winter months. In addition, SQth‘al thou- sand‘others were able to engage in offâ€"season work particularly in wood cutting operations, without permits for periods not exceeding 60 days, states the Current Review of Agri- cultural Conditions in Canada. This year both the Dominion and Provincial governments are attempt- ing to meet the farm labour problem along the same lines as last year. The program will probably include such measures as recruiting city workers and students for holiday farm work, the movament of farm labour from one part of the country use of consciencious objc’5tors and Japanese workers, as well as many other steps already tiled last your. In addition, it is expected that the number of men from the Army and Air Force going to the rn special spring leave will be substan- tially higher than last year. These services have authorized up to two- months leave for men for spring farm work, as long as they can be spared from their military duties. Such an arrangement will help in meeting the labour problem in con- nection with seeding. The Department of Labour is also experimenting in Ontario with the placement of 300 Gclman was pris- oners on farms in Kent County. Work parties will consist of 10 men and will be taken out separately and will be kept under constant guard. The farmer is required to pay the Do- fa r m 5 tion to the camp project, a relatively small number of prisoners of a nonâ€" THURSDAY, MAY 25th, 1944, N“ .M Public Auction Sale of First-Class Modern Household Furniture Electric Rangette, Dishes, Utensils, Glassware, Ghrden Tools, Etc.

Post War Markets . Assured For The Canndian Farmer Canadian farmers will be sure of ample postswar markets for their surplus products if the peoples of the world are properly fed, Hon. Jas, G. Gardiner, Minister of Agriculture in the Mackenzie King Cabinet, told the Montreal Kiwanis Club. The duty of all Canadians, is to work toward a postâ€"war arrangement between na- tions which will establish prosperity for all. “No country alone can have pros- perity by itself," Hon. Mr. Gardiner continued, “and in order to De a pres- perous nation, we must live in a prosperous_world; to be a satisfied nation, wev must live in a satisfied world; to be a contented nation, we must live in a contented world. “To have peace in the world, we must have people who understand one another and who know that other nations are attempting to assist them in their way of life, just as much as they are attempting to assist them- selves. If we follow those principles, we shall not only have a market for our goods, but peace in the world for a longer time than has ever been experienced before." Isolationism had caused the war, said the Minister; and isolation must be banished after this war. The gov- ernmental policies of Canada during the war had been directed to trying to make certain that, when the war is over, all nations will work togeth- er. It was a great comfort he went on, for the present government to know that it could count on the sup- port of the virile farming population whOse war effort had astounded the world, and whOse desire for a finer Canada and a finer world after the war had been expressed many times. In a tribute to the people of the Dominion for their sound thinking in days of Hon. Mr. Gardiner said: “In Canada, without changing a syllable in our constitution, without sacrificing anything we owe to his- tory. without scrapping the freedom of the press or speech, without dragg- ing our honest differences of opinion on political matters into questions upon which we can all agree, we, the Canadian people, have conducted this war to the point where we can look to the future stress, with confidence." I i I minicn Government on the basis of prevailing rates for the work that is done, so that he does not get adâ€" vantage of cheap labour.
