Women Responded To Red Cross Appeal Expressing gratitude for the maw .er inwhich the women of Ontario have responded to her recent appeal, Mrs, J. C. Frage:, Chairman, Ontario Women's War Work, Ontario Division of Red Cross, said: "Quotas on civilian gar- ments, hospital, supplies have been well taken up, and although there bas been a good response in knittln; for the services and civilians (in Britain), It is not nearly enough, The National Committee has promised to keep the wool doming and branches are urged to talcs further quotas for knitted goods," Quantities of knitted comforts for civilians, of long-sleeved sweaters and globes for serbicemem ,as well as knickers, sweaters and gloves for the wonren''s division of Die services, are needed. Although finished articles received in Red Cross warehouses in Toronto this year total over 3,031,000, a summary of results since the appeal shows that more than 157,000 items of knitted comforts for the forces and 108,080 articles of civilian gar merits remain to be made and shinned ,to complete the 1.944 quotas.

Butter Ration To Be Cut Jan. 1 'OTTAWA, Dec, 11—The Prices Board announced today that the butter ration is being reduced from seven ounces a week to about six ouncesa person a week on Jan, 1, The Board said the step is being taken to adjust consumption to sup- plies during the winter months of low production. The seduction will be made effec- tive'by- making butter ration cou- pons valid one at a time instead of in pairs and by having throe of these coupons become good each month instead of four. - To encourage Householders to spread the reduced ration over the period of shortage, the butter cou- pons will remain valid until de- clared invalid, as now is the case with sugar and preserves coupons Officials said that butter nroduc tion has been insudflcient to keep pare with demand even under thr rationing system which first tnt- posed a limit of eight ounces s Person a week, The ' eight-nnnee ration was reduced to seven ounces to conserve supplier' this year The hoard said that a reduction in quotas to restaurants and ether quota users will ire made to eon. form approximately to the cut in rho cense ner rattan and no eup'ple- mentary quotas will be issued, The board said that the country's total storage holdings of butter on .Ian. 1, together with estimated creamery butter production in Jan- uary. February, March and April will, after providing for the regn're- ments of the armed forces. hos- pitels, ships' stores and Red Coss for plrieonere of war parcels, be only sufficient to provide six pounds for each holder of a ration hook, and a reduced allowance for quota users, such es public eating places. K. H. Olive, admistretor of dairy products, said that "six pounds of butter per person spread over the next four mouths will allow 135 Pounds per person per month, and we believe Canadians expect Os to adjust the ration so as to assure continuous supply and equitable distribution rather titan risk doing' without butter entirely later on.

Municipal politics seem to be losing out in public interest.. There .hasn't been a nomination meeting held in Brussels foe Years that has drawn even a fate representation of ratepayers, The swine condition exists in the may orlty of municipalities titi'otiltond the country, and we wonder wag this should be, and what is the proper solution. Nomination meetings are nen held for the priviledged fete they are public gatherings at which every ratepayer should 110 present. In past years it seems that the same old faithful fear are on hand to move and second, members for reeve, council, trus- tees, etc. Moat of the time the various boards s11p in without am election --we are tempted to ask "is this democracy when a small tandful of men should have.. time say in who sits in the municipal drivers' seats?" An acclamation does save a municipality money - belt the amount is negligible, — arid obancee are that the a.:- claimted choice does not mesO with majority consent. Mem and women of Brussels, your nomination meeting wilt be held in two weeks' time Are yost going to he satisfied to stay away and let a mere few decide who shall run your affairs iu 1945. if so don't growl or grouch about the way things are run in Lite coming year.
