"SHE PUT COAL OIL,
IN THE STOVE"
The old coal oil short-cut to breakfast has cost many a life
and home! Can YOU afford the high cost of taking chances
with this dangerous fuel? Play safe with yourself and
family. Resolve never again to quicken a fire with coal oil
or gasoline. Provide sufficient (lry kindling ahead of time.
Lamp's` and lanterns are another cause of loss and .death every
year. Fill them by daylight. Both lampS and lanterns ,
should have broad, heavy metal bases. Don't let children use
them alone, Never set lanterns down, even on window
ledges, but hang them well up, Keep matches in a tin box,
in a safe place,, well out of the reach of children. Never
carry loose matches.
Remember that fire prevention now is more important than
ever, since buildings are next to impossible to replace. Make
every member of your household a fire warden and fight by
preventing fires.

HIGHER PRICES WILL
BE PAID FOR BEEF
Policy Now 'Definitely Fixed Gordon
Says
The Wartime Prices and Trade
Board announced an upward.revision
of the wholesale ceiling prices of beef
and stricter control of retail prices,
which also will increase correspond-
ingly.
A :board statement said the revision
involves an increase of $1.50 per hun-
dredweight in the wholesale carcass
price for the autumn period, ending
November 30. The basic Toronto
maximum price will therefore be
$17.25- per hundredweight, with the
usual, differentials for the other 14
zones across Canada.
The statement said the higher
wholesale price will mean "correspon-
ding increases In retail prices which
will, however, be more strictly con-
trolled."
It added: "The wholesale price level
will advance seasonably until June, at
which point it will be 25 cents per
hundredweight above the ceiling price
announced last June. In addition a
special premium of 50 cents per hun-
dredweight will be allowed on beef
qualifying for the Dominion Govern-
ment's 'red brand,' and named dis-
counts have been set for grades infer-
ior to good commercial beef."
The lengthy statement from the
board said there had been representa-
tions in regarding to shortages in the
domestic beef supply and complaints
about the previous schedule of seas-
onal price differentials.
The 'board had reviewed the situa-
tion and reached a decision "in a mat-
er which has presented the most
troublesome problems in the entire
price ceiling administration."
Tt quoted Donald Gordon, . the
b6ard chairman as saying: "Now
that the decision is finally made, anc
all concerned know what -to expect, I
ask for renewed determination to
make the policy a success regardless
of past mistakes or misunderstand-
ings. The needs of war are such that
we cannot afford to waste time anc
energy in differences of opinion
amongst ourselves."
The statement said: "The board's
decision may make it posslble for
farmers to be paid more for their cat-
tle this autumn than the average pric-
es which farmers have actually been
receiving during the past month. It
will not, however, create cattle prices
as high as the artificial levels which
have recently been quoted in some
markets."
In a comprehensive outline of the
board's policy for control of supply
and prices of cattle and beef, the
statement said "plans for meat ration-
ing are being studied and prepared and
if beef shortages appear to be more
than temporary, rationing will be in-
troduced." It added it would probably
take several months to prepare and or-
ganize "this most difficult rationing
task."
Six grades of beef hive been estab-
lished, the board said. It added that
"red brand" beef, approved by Domin-
ion Government inspectors, may com-
mand a premium of 50 cents per hun-
dredweight above the basic price.
It listed maximum 'carcass prices
for the four following grades at fixed
discounts below the maximum prices
for good commercial beef: These dis-
counts are as follows: Plain beef, `11/z
tents below good commercial beef:
butcher cows and hulls, 21/2 cents
below; cutter beef, 3 cents below;
boner beef, 4%' 'cents below,
."Seasonal increases Will commence
in December," the board announced,
"and will continue on a graduated
scale until the seasonal peak of $19,50
per hundredweight for 'red brand'
beef is reached in June of next year."
It was explained these are Toronto
prices and that prices elsewhere in
Canada will be in proportion.
In next jame "the board intends to
declare the June prices as the only
ceiling price, and prices will be left
free to fluctuate seasonally, tinder that
ceiling in accordance with octopi mar-
force cattle prices to unduly high lev-
els, it will be necessary to impose live-
stock ceiling' prices.
„;"On the other hand, the Wartime
Pood ,Corporation will 'be prepared to
buy cattle if there is at any time a sur-
plus supply which threatens to depress •
cattle prices unduly, and after provid-
ing a reserve supply for domestic
ecensuinption, will, export any remain-
ing surplus cattle.
