There was even a little flurry of excitement over the Prices Board decisioxx to cut out the hot dog “roll”; it was even press-rumoured that public indignation was causing the Board to reconsider its decision, but that was promptly denied by the Board—one of the few times it has come out publicly to bother denying vague rumours, ♦ lit * Among the vast, sprawling tem­ porary buildings which the war has brought to Ottawa, one finds that Munitions & Supply occupies a con­ siderable part with thousands busily engaged in this important activity.

It is inter­ esting to know that in the past crop year, too, the people consumed about half as went into animal hoi production, It that nearly eight million bushels of wheat were used for alcohol pro­ duction, making 14 million gallons. * * Russell Smart, real property ad­ ministrator here, has warned that if the pressure continues on areas where there is a shortage of housing it may be necessary to consider regulations restricting movement of families to these areas.
