Unless exempted by the Order, every resident of Canada who, on May 1st, 1940, has any foreign currency in his possession, ownership or control, whether in Canada or outside Canada, is required forthwith to sell such foreign currency to an Authorized Dealer (Le. a branch of a chartered bank) for payment in Canadian dollars at the official buying rate of the Foreign Exchange Control Board. "Foreign currency", for the purposes of the Order, means any cur- rency (excluding coin) other than Canadian currency and includes bank notes, postal notes, money orders, cheques, travellers' cheques, prepaid let- ters of credit, bank drafts and other similar instruments payable in any currency other than Canadian currency, and also includes any amount in foreign currency of which a resident has a right to obtain payment by rea- son of a deposit, credit or balance of any kind at or with a bank, savings bank, trust company, loan company, stockbroker, investment dealer or other similar depository. The Order does not require the sale of any foreign securities. The Order does not affect any foreign currency, deposit or securities of any non-resident of Canada and for greater certainty the Order ex- pressly declares that a non-resident visiting Canada for business or pleas- ure for a period or periods not exceeding six months in the year continues to be a non-resident for the purposes of the Order unless such person enters or has entered Canada with the intention of becoming a permanent resident. No resident is required to sell any foreign currency if he satisfies the Foreign Exchange Control Board that he held such foreign currency on May 1st, 1940, solely as trustee or agent for a non-resident and that the non-resident's interest therein had not been acquired from a resident since September 15th, 1939, except in a manner approved by the Board. Under certain conditions stipulated in Section '1 (b) of the Order, a resident who is not a Canadian citizen may be granted exemption, but only after application for exemption is approved by the Board. No life insurance company incorporated in Canada is required by the Order to sell any foreign currency which it needs forthe purpose of carry- ing on its business outside Canada. Further particulars may be obtained from branches of chartered banks. Any resident who has any foreign currency in his possession, ownership or control on May lst, 1940', regardless of amount, should con- sult his bank at once in order to ascertain the extent to which he is affected by the Order. FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONTROL BOARD Extra 'Gas Hinted Tax Reports coming from Ottawa are to the effect that a federal tax on gasoline is probable, and, with a war in progress, new sources of revenue must be thought up. However, no one is in a position to say definitely that any particular tax or duty will, or will not be imposed. Against the stories coming from the capitol bity is one to the effect that it , would be unnvise to add more taxes to the gasoliney particularly when there is so much United States tourist traffic encouraged." When a $20 Bill Is Not a $20 Bill There are many and varied ideas held by different people regarding the proper procedure in case one is unfortunate eugh to have in his possession a bill which. has become torn or otherwiseammutilated and ea- pecially so when part of the hill gete lostor mislaid. We understand that .the hest thing one can do under the circumstances is to take the daanaged bill to the bank and get a new one for R. If it is only torn or othenwise the banker will likely give you a new one of the same denomination, without much ado providing both numbers are there, LY, howeber, either of the numbers are missing It is an entirely differ ent matter and it may be •probleur- atical just what you will receive. The other day while in the hank a customer walked in with half a "Twenty"'8nd. all he got for it was a ten dollar bill.
