GAS RATION IS LOWERED Coupons In "A" Category May Be Used At Any Time The value of the gasoline unit was reduced from five to four gallons in Quebec, Ontario and British Colum- bia at midnight on Thursday of last week. A category lower than "A" that will be known as "A-A" for people who have more than one car and for those who drive for pleasure only will be created. Amount of gasoline which would be made available to cars in the new "A-A" category could not be made public now as the setting up of a new category took time, but the allowance would be announced in due course. It will be less than the present 60 to 76 gallon ration units available to cars now classed in "A" category Because there are many thousands of farmers, industrial workers and businessmen now in category 'A,' the quarterly restriction of the coupon in this category will be abolished, This means that the category 'A' coupons in any quarter may be used at any time regardless of the date print- ed on them.

July 1, Donald Gordon, Wartime Prices and Trade Board chairman, said last week in a radio talk outlining plans for in- troduction of the coupon scheme, The present individual allowance of one-half pound of sugar a week for each individual will be continued. The board has not decided to ration any other commodities, Mr, Gordon said, First coupon books to be issued will be for a 10-week period and sub- sequent books will be good for six months, "Beginning July 1 it will .be against the law for anyone to buy any sugar for ordinary -household use unless coupons are surrendered to the seller at the time the purchase is made," Mr. Gordon said. "For extra-ration sugar required in preserving and canning, special pro- vision is being made, Voucher forms are being given all retailers, against which sugar will be drawn for canning and preserving." AIRMEN ARE APPRECIATIVE The Editor, Advance-Times, Sir: Through your paper, we, the 20 air- men who have spent a delightful week in your community, would like to thank the people of Wingham for friendliness and hospitality. Mr. Beecroft, Mr. Northwood and the people whose guests we have been know that they have our heart-felt gratitude, Apart from these, however, many people have gone out of their way to be helpful to us, and it is these people that we wish to thank publicly through your newspaper. Those who have been overseas in the last war will know how much friendliness means to a sailor, soldier or airmail when he is far from home, and will realize to the full the debt we owe to the people of Wingham. We know now that we are not "strang- ers in a strange land" and that the family spirit of the British Common- wealth of Nations is not the glib phrase of the politician but a very real and livihg thing of which we may all be justly proud. Your Sincerely, Twenty giateful airmen.
