If the plan is followed, he said, it should provide a tremendous saving. "When thousands of consumers throughout the province reduce their consumption of electric power, the total is considerable. It means more is made available for war pur- poses." Mr. Smith explained that refusal of the H.E.P.C. to construct further ex- tensions in rural areas is brought about by the lack of essential mater- ials. He asked farmers to try and understand what the commission is confronted with in the matter of alum- inum, copper and steel supplies nee. essary for these lines. Ontario, he said, is the . best electrified farming area in all the world, and the com- mission continued contruction of new lines for nearly two years after the outbreak of war before shortage of materials caused. their new policy to become effective.

The work referred to was not in .connection with the bridge work, but work done by a councillor as part of the renovation of the new town office. Says Price LaWs Violated Speaking under the heading of new business at Goderich Council meeting, Reeve R. B, Turner charged the War- time Prices and Trade Board price ceiling was being flagrantly violated in Goderich, and asked: "Who is looking after the consumers?" He urged that the Town Council take an interest in the subject. The recent increase in the price of milk, the reeve said, was not justified,' and was made arbitrarily, without con- sulting the council.

Many people lost their pro- duce which they had stored there, as this property is not protected by in- surance. TAX DEDUCTIONS INSTRUCTIONS SOON Employers To Receive Instructions This Week The National Revenue Department will issue tables to employers this week instructing them how much in- come tax they should' deduct from each employee beginning the first pay- day in September. The tables will be covered by order- in-council giving them the force of a departmental regulation and will pro- vide for dedticting 90 per cent of the income tax any employee•should pay, leaving 10 per cent for adjustments when the taxpayer files his final re- turn in September, 1943. The table sets out the amount the deductions may be reduced if the em- ployee is putting his savings in life insurance premiums, principal pay- ments on mortgages, superantmations, pensions and payments to trade unions other than dues. He is relieved to that extent from the compulsory sav- ing part of the tax. The savings figures in the table also are based on 90 per cent of the re- fundable portion of the tax to leave a 10-per-cent margin for adjustments a year later. There will be three sets of tables covering employees paid by the day, by the week, and by the month. Em- ployers paying every two• weeks will double the figures in the weekly table and those paying semi-monthly will divide the 'monthly tables. The tables will have separate columns for single persons with no dependents, single persons with one dependent, married persons with no dependents, with one dependent and so on in separate columns up to eight de- pendents, The tables are on the basis of cover- ing the income tax on the entire 1942 calendar year income less the amount already collected at the source for de- fence tax for the past eight months of the year. These tables will be limited to em- ployers but the department will ask them to Post them on boards where the employees may study them. A circular know as TD- Will be issued by the department for employ- ees which they will file with their employers before September declare ing the amount of the payment§ they will make during the calendar year IOU in life insurance premiums, and the other savings for which they are entitled to tax 'relief. The circulars will be available at post offices And revenue offices. The employer will accept the dec- laration of his employee and adjust the deductions accordingly but in September, 1943, when the employee makes his annual return to the ievome tax branch he must furnish his actual receipts to substantiate the (feeler- a ti on. NATIONAL .SELECTIVE SERVICE WILL BE EFFECTIVE .SEPT * National Selective Service,• over which there has been touch discussion, is now stheduled to be effective on September 1, No new statute has been enacted. All that is to be done will be within the elastic framework of the Mobil- ization Act, passed in 1940, The en- forcement of it has been piecemeal. Now, it is to be general. The Department of *Labor will be the central agency. That course was considered preferable to a division authorized and the conflict which it may invite. Moreover, such services in the United Kingdom and in the United States are through a civilian department. • Over 100 new. offices will be open- ed up throughout the country, These will be the centres of administration of the act on' the selective principle, It is to them that women will go to reg- ister for war service, This may take the form' of something to which they are specially adapted or it may mean their being utilized in the replacement of men. Shifting of Workers Continuous emphasis is being placed on the shortage of than power. The reservoir is down to 30,000, The machinery which now is being set up is designed to bring about a lot of shifting from non-essential to essen- tial industry and, perhaps, from both to the armed services. If it can be done by methods of persuasibn that will suffice; if the instrumentality of compulsion needs to be restorted to, it will be. The basic idea is to utilize more man and woman power where this can be done best, and most efficiently. That will call for many decisions, some not pleasant, and even harsh. But there will be opportunities to ap- peal from local boards. It may be assumed .that, in approach to the 'pool of man power, the armed forces will have a certain priority. The home defence forces are being increas- ed ,steadily, many going to strategic points, while the need of a reservoir for overseas reinforcements is emphas- SALLY'S 'SALLIES LIMVE CAN.

What, in effect, is conscription, or potential conscription, on selective lines, at home and in adjacent terri- tory, may prove to be the prelude to conscription for service away from home. TO RESTRICT USE OF ELECTRIC LIGHTING Hydro Commissioner J. Albert Smith Made Statement Restrictions on the use of electric power for lighting will come during September, J. Albert Smith, fM.L.A., Kitchener, and one of Ontario's three- man Hydro-Electric Tower Commis- sion, told delegates attending the sum- mer meeting of the Eighth District Ontario Municipal Electric Associa- ion at Windsor. Mr. Smith described the new restric- tions as "initial" steps in a general program of conservation of power to meet an .expected shortage of at least 250,000 horsepower with which he states the hydro system of the prov- ince will be confronted by December of this year, The September restrictions, he said, will apply to "exterior and interior lighting, show window and showcase lighting, outline and ornamental light- ing, lighting for decorative and adver- tising parposes; outdoor and flood voy, This destroyer was part of the U.S. Asiatic, squadron which saw plenty of action in the ..7aVa and Macassar Straits A picture made from a U.S. naval tanker on con-voy in the Indian ocean, showing a four-piper de- stroyer plowing along on the outskirts of the eon- UNIVERSITY OF WESTERN ONTARIO NzitARY TRAINING kut AU, PHYSICALLY tn.
