Mr. Howard was .co home e with ming his wife and baby from a visit at Hol- mesville and had put up ..the sema- phore and lantern at the Holmesville flag station for the evening train, which :however, did not stop, but came right through to Goderich leaving the would-be-passangers stranded in the freezing weather. Mr. Howard then got into communication by telephone with the G. T. R. agent 'here, inform- ed him of what had occurred, and as- serted his rights in such vigorous fashion that the train went back to Holmesville and brought him and his little family in triumph to Goderieh. It will probably be some time before the signals at Hohnesville areagain disregraded. 'Goderieh Signal.

He is survived by two daughters, Mrs, Glenn Camp- bell of Aylmer and Mrs. McMath of DAIRY INDUSTRY AND FOOD PRODUCTION It is generally known that cheese is required from Canada by the United Kingdom in large quantities, but the fact that the distribution of all dairy products throughout Canada has in- creased to a marked degree in recent years is not so well known, said W. C. Cameron, Associate Cheif, Dairy Products, Dominion I)iepartment of Agriculture, in an address at the an- nual meeting of Dairy Farmers of Canada, held recently at Calgary, Al- berta. It has been calculated that the milk fat used in the manufacture of cheese and butter in Canada during 1942 exceeded that so used in the previous year by approximately . six per cent. It is further estimated that the domestic consumption of fluid milk has increased by about 10 per cent during 1942 as compared with 1941. The domestic distribution of concentrated milk products, both whole -milk and by-products, has in- creased in a marked degree. Ice cream has been in greater demand, and, if its sale had not been restricted by Order of the Dairy Products Board to the amount sold during 1941, it too, would have shown very great increas- es. What dairy products the United Kingdom may require of Canada in 1943 is not yet known, but assuming it will be about the same as during 1942, it has been calculated that in order to meet estimated requirements from all sources during 1943, Canada must produce at least 18,500 million pounds of milk, that is 1,012 million, or 5.8 per cent, 'more than was pro-, duced during 1942. It is anticipated that increases in production will be. required for all products during 1943 as compared with 1942, except in the case of 'condensed milk and possibly cheese. It is believed that butter pro- duction should be greater by approxi- mately 40,000,00 pounds or 15 per cent. Evaporated milk should be in- creased to the extent of 8,447.000 pounds and powdered milk to 4,700,- 460 ,700;460 pounds. In urging dairymen to increase pro- duction, those who had the responsi- bility of estimating requirements of food products were not unmindful of the many and serious problems to be overcome before the desired objectives could be met. There was the problem of securing not only experienced la- bour but help of any kind. There was the ' difficulty in purchasing equip- ment, or even repairs and supplies. Transportation added to the produc- ers' and manufacturers' problems. However, the achievements of the dairy industry during the past year had been admirable in spite of these problems. THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD day afternoon. Jan. 29th, when the HIVN Gasoline Rationing Plan Goes into Effect �?�3IIb gII�3�i5S' ON MARCH 31 the present gasoline ration licenses and coupons ns will ex- pire, and no gasoline will be sold except upon the presentation of a 1943-1944 ration book. In his own interests, every vehicle owner is asked to apply at once for a new gasoline license and ration coupon book for each of his vehicles. Under the new system, effective April 1, all commercial vehicles will be rationed. All non- commercial vehicles 'will be granted a basic "AA" gasoline license and ration coupon book, containing 40 coupons for a passenger . car, or 16 fora motorcycle. Owners of non- commercial vehicles eligible for a special category, who can prove their need, will be granted an extra vocational allowance, fixed in advance for .the year ending March 31, 1944. The extra allowance for a• special category car will be tailored to meet individual needs. In determining this allowance the pre- vious category and mileage of the ,car will not be considered. Instead the vocational allowance will be based on two factors: (1) The gravity of the oil shortage with which Canada is faced, and (2) the importance of the vehicle to its owner in a country at war. The extra vocational coupons will be issued in books labelled "Special", and each such book will contain not more than 60 coupons. Only one "Special" book, or portion of such book, will be issued at a time, and hence the case history of each special category applicant will be under constant review. Under provisions of the rationing order, the Oil Controller will have the right to re- fuse any application for a special category, or to suspend any ration book for an infraction of the regulations. Every motor vehicle, other than a motor- cycle, must bear on its windshield a sticker indicating its category. After April 1, service station attendants will not be permitted to serve gasoline to a car which does not bear the sticker which corresponds to the ration book submitted at the time of the purchase. To obtain a gasoline license and ration coupon book, secure an application form at your nearest Post Ofice. Study the form and follow the instructions contained therein. When you receive your ration coupon book, guard it carefully. It may not be replaced if, because of your negligence, it is lost or stolen. Do not leave it in your car; keep it on your person at all times. THE DEPARTMENT OF MLIIiIITIONS AND' SUPPLY HONOURABLE C. D. HOWE, Minister MS -5-o DEATH OF A. D.
