On and after April 1 1943, only those manufactur- ers who manufactured ice cream mix or sherbert mix during the year end- ing Marek 31, 1943, will be • per- mitted to manufacture such mix. The volume of ice cream mix or sherbert mix which any manufacturer . may make during any one quarter of the year, for sale as mix er as, the frozen product to civilians or to those ser- ving civilians, will be limited to the volume manufactured for such pur- poses during the corresponding quar- ter•of the basic period, whieh is April 1, 1941 • to March 31, 1942. Presentation, to Organist On Sunday last the members of the choir of St. Joseph's Church bade fare- well to Mrs, Gerald Clayton, Organ- st of the church for the past seven years.

The following is the text of the address:. Mrs. Gerald Clayton, Clinton Ont. Dear Mrs. Clayton. We, the members of St. Joseph's choir, have learned with very sincere regret that you are about to leave us. The association which has united us during these past seven years must now come to an end; and while we keenly regret your imminent depar- ture from our midst we recognize too that your decision was made only after careful consideration of all the circumstances. As organist of St, Joseph's church, you have, during these past years, carried out a most important and nec- essary work on behalf of your Parish Church. It has been a work well done; and you can looklck of this period as one of solid accomplishment. Now infrequently it has been performed despite formidable obstacles, particu- larly the inclemency of the weather and the long distance separating you from the Church. In spite of this, you have shown a devotion and fidelity to the -task which will never be forgot- ten by us or by the other members o f the parish. Your outstanding devotion to duty will be an inspiration for us in the work which lies ahead. In wishing you Godspeed, we. join with it the wish that you willfind an abundant measure of contentment and happiness in your new home. Our prayer is that Our Lord will bless you, your husband and your family; and ,in return, we ask 'an occasional memento in your prayers. As a tangible expression of our appreciation of your many efforts on our behalf, we ask you to accept this small gift. The members of the Choir of St. Joseph's Church. • Clinton and Distirict Mex ants Hear Address It'•.
