SITTING by the fireside at home— digging, in the garden for fun -- lazy weekends just fishin'—these, things mean comfortable, pleasant living, the kind of living your man overseas is dreaming of, fighting for. Make sure these simple, : pleasant things exist for him when he comes back. Remember that it is possible for them to exist only if his dollar is worth a dollar! By protecting his dollar, we help to protect his future. That's why we must realize NOW the dangers that lie in careless, unnecessary buying. Never buy two where one will do. Buy only what we need, We must support ratiioning and price control and encourage others to support therm, and we must avoid ALL deal- ings with black markets. These are the rules. If we break them, we can be certain that we will start our country — his country. -- _ on the spiral of inflation. Prices shoot sky-high. Wages try to catch up; and never succeed. You may pay a dollar for 30 cents worth of goods, and this means your doflar— your soldier's dollar — is worth only 30 cents. There's no limit to inliation, and there's no stopping it once it starts. So, let's make sure OUR boys will. come back to 'a protected dollar — a dollar that will buy a full dollar's worth of goods. Let's keep up the fight against inflation, every day, in every way. we can,, so that our men overseas can look forward to pleas- ant, satisfying living . the Cana- dian way of life.

About 8000 applications, made and approved during. 1944, still await service, and many have since been add-'' ;ed. These will be connected eras soon as possible. It Willi take all .theman-power, ma aerials, and effort .that Hyo= ro can command to bring service to these applicants 1945. Those requesting servide'along existing power) lines may, in some cases, be connected before prior apo plicants Alio require lengthy extensions. We regret that many approved applications may not be completed! before 1946. In 1944 your Hydro constructed about 400 miles of new rural lines, and added 9776 new customers. With some 1200 Hydro employees in the armed serv, ices or on loan to the govern nent for technical work along with the shortage of many materials critical to,, war needs, your Hydro has done and is doing everything possible toextend electricity to essential services. If your turn seems slow in coming, please consider the wartime conditions under which your Commission lab- ours. and be assured that 'it is doing evelything.poss- b1e to serve you with the..utmost speed. TIME HYDRO -ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION OF ONTARIO PRESERVES RATIONING . Reason for:{ etaining the present program of preserves 'rationing, especially of :maple syrap and of honey, are included in the annual report of the Wartime Prices *and Trade Beard, The report states that "there has been some question as to why the preserves ration., especially for honey' and staple syrup, should be continued in its .present form. An initial reason for including a variety of preserves in the group ration was that, at the time, many of the pro- ducts were too sesame to be ration separately." Many products are included in order to allow for the difeeence in tastes and purchasing habits of 'different sections. "To take one or two 'products off the ration would have immediately put pressure on those rationed and would have led to inequalities between regions and be- tween uthan and rural areas," the report states concluding that "in ef- fect, the present system appears to be an. balance' and gives housewives across the Dominion the beet oppor- tunity of satisfying the particular tastes of their households" V -- Grandson of Mrs. Ballan- tyne Reported Mis"sing Word has been received that F. /0. John B. Kennedy is missing in over Germany, He was about to finish a ,second, tour of operations and expected to be home soon. He was the oldest grandson of Mrs. John B. Ballantyne, Brussels.
