CANADA FACES A WOOD-F
NEXT WINTER
UEL FAMINE
ARE YOU one of the Canadian householders who burned fences, doors,
and even flooring to keep warm in this winter's sub-zero weather?
Or perhaps you are one of the lucky ones who just managed to scrape
through?
In either case, you will want to be prepared for next winter when greater
hardships loom unless you take immediate action.
The shortage already has affected many communities . . . total stocks of
dry wood are nearly exhausted . . . in some places the small supply of green
wood cut for next winter is being used now to meet the present emergency.
Throughout most of Canada, fuel-wood is obtained not far from where it is
consumed. Its production and distribution are the business of local citizens.
The Dominion Government recognizes that the wood-fuel shortage is
so serious that even with the full co-operation of everyone in affected com-
munities an adequate supply is not assured. Accordingly, it has been decided
to stimulate the output of wood-fuel by assisting those normally engaged
in its production and distribution. To this end, the following measures
will be adopted:
1 A subsidy of $1.00 per cord will be paid to dealers on all
commercial fuel-wood contracted for and 'cut •on or before
June 30, 1943, and held to dealers' account on that date.
2 The Coal Controller has been authorized to arrange in his
discretion for the payment of suck portion of the transportation
costs as he considers proper in respect of fuel-wood, particul-
arly in cases where dealers, to procure supplies, find it necessary
to contract for fuel-wood at locations outside the area from
which they normally derive their supplies. In order to obtain
any such reimbursement, dealers must obtain a permit from
the Coal. Controller before contracting for such supplies.
3 The Coal Controller will repurchase from dealers at dealer's
cost all commercial grades of fuel-wood on which a subsidy
of $1 per cord has been paid and which are still in dealers'
hands as at May 31, 1944.
4 Assistance will be given in providing priorities for' necessary
equipment.
5 Farmers now on the farm, and who leave the farm temporarily
in response to this appeal to engage in fuel-wood cutting, will
be deemed by National Selective Service to be carrying out
their regular occupation as farmers and will be given all the
rights of deferment of. military service which such an occttpa- -
don now carries. Such temporary absence should not, however,
interfere with agricultural production.
Municipal councils, farmers, fuel dealers, individual citizens, service clubs,
and all other groups in communities where wood-fuel is burned, are urged
to begin at once a rapid survey of their local situation, and to take imme-
diate action to relieve the shortage,
