Mi•. Burton promised distribution of supplies with large and small deal- ers receiving proportionate shares of goods. The amount of consumer good's available during the next few years will depend on the manpower needs to fight and win the war, he said. The retail administrators urged ev- ery storekeeper to examine his own business carefully and reduce stand- ards of service to the minimum with- out regard to competitors, V Make Last Trips Out of Goderich With the last loading date on Satur- day, and insurance expiring on Tues- day, vessels are making their last trips for the season from Goderich.

Robinson laid up at Sarnia on Friday evening, No doubt the citizens of Clinton are aware of the nation wide campaign to assist our valiant Allies, the Rus- sians. Many municipalities have taken up the !natter of joining in to contribute their share in this worthy cause. The latest of these is the Town of Clinton, The proposal of Mayor A. J. Mc- Murray that a community movement for raising funds for Russian War Relief should be undertaken met with the full approval of the Town Council, and action along these lines will be taken. The valour not only of the Russian soldier, but of the entire populaoe has many times stirred the blood of patriotic Canadians who have watched their titanic effort in stemming the onrushing Nazi hordes, and at the same time, knowing that their suc- cess was vital to our cause, prayed for their success. Before Russia came. into the war on the side of the Al- lies, we scoffed at her as a nation, but we have learned much sinloe. We shudder to think of the difference it would have made had she chosen to support the side of Hitler. With all this in view we cannot im- agine anyone being' opposed 'to the Aid -to -Russia War Relief Fund. • BREAD DELIVERIES TO BE RESTRICTED New regulations designed to eon - serve gas and rubber state Wartime Prices and Trade Board officials.

This branch of the season's trade is rapidly. increasing. Every year card designs become more, varied, and colorful, and stationers everywhere report bigger sales. Yet is is less than a centurp since: the first Christmas cards made their appearance in 'England. In days gone by itusedto be a general custom to write long letters to all one's friends and acquaintances at Christmastime. People who never met each other from one year's end to another would exchange at least a dozen pages of greeting a few days ing often occupied several weeks. The credit for inventing the time- saving card goes to a Birmingham artist named William A. Dobson, who later betaine a member of the Royal Academy. In 1884 he designed a card, painted with rich colors, symbolizing the spirit of Christmas: In the follow- ing year he had his little masterpiece lithographed and sent copies to some of his friends.
