Farmers Growing Contracts 1946 Barley .90c bushel Full particulars, Geo. T. Mickle iPhone 103 Hensail, Ont. 10:17:21 28c PRINTING 13,000,000 RATION BOOKS A despatch from Ottawa by J. Alex Hume, Free Press correspond­ ent, states that by way of prepared­ ness, in anticipation of rationing of (butter, sugar, and meat having to be continued into 1947, Wartime Prices and Trade Board officials have already taken steps to have ovef twelve million No. 6 ration books printed and rea'dy for distri­ bution toward the end of. 1946. The current No. 5 ration books, with reserve S coupons being used for sugar and reserve R coupons for butter, will last until the end of the year. Meat coupons in (No, 5 •books will run out about August next, so, likely, reserve Q coupons will be used for meat from that time until the end of the year. The paper used for ration books is of special preparation designed to guard against counterfeiting and the printing, of the ration books has been carried out for the Govern­ ment under conditions analogous to the printing of Bank of Canada and chartered bank notes. Only two or three printing firms in Canada have been used for the printing of ration books on security grounds. It takes about six weeks for the. actual printing of the number of ration books required for Canada's total population, and then time must be allowed for assembling them, stap­ ling, checking and distribution of the books to the public. Should changed world conditions or Government poljcy obviate the necessity of distributing No, 6 ration books before the end of 1946, the Government might be out part of the cost of printing, but the work must be begun in ample time against the date when No. 5 books have run out.

Across* Canada, starting about March 15 and spread over a period of possibly several . months, exami­ nations will be held 'to sort out the best-fitted candidates, with the preference going to veterans. Can­ ada’s civil service force numbers 150,000, of which 4'0>,00o are class­ ed as ‘'permanents,’’ with the re­ maining 110,000 “temporaries.” Many To Disappear Many of t'he jobs are of a strict­ ly war-time nature and are due to disappear. What the post-war strength of the service will he is anyone’s guess but the ibest esti­ mate is about, 100,000, which com­ pares with 67,000 in 1939, The new 100,000 figure leaves a margin of 60,000 above the 40,000 workers who hold “permanent” status. It is on those 60,000 jolbs that the Civil Service Commission will have to rule, (deciding whether the present job -holder is to continue or 'be replaced by a veteran. The task the commission lias -is a tough one. For several years appoint­ ments which were filled were on a temporary basis. Must Weigh Cases The final decision will be 'based On an examination of the particu­ lar job and the applicants. Pre­ suming It is a job that is filled by a “temporary”, it will mean the commission will have to weigh the service given*9 by that man against the preference which automatical­ ly goes to a veteran. entertained ladies to a is remodel- BRINSLEY Miss Olive Banting, of iSarnia, spent a few days last week with her aunt, Mrs. Fred Fenton.
