In either case, you will want to be prepared for next winter when greater hardships loom unless you take immediate action. The shortage already has affected many communities ... total stocks of dry wood are nearly exhausted in some places the small supply of green wood cut for next winter is being used now to meet the present emergency. Throughout most of Canada, fuel -wood is obtained not far from where it is consumed. Its production and distribution are the business of local citizens. The Dominion Government recognizes that the wood -fuel shortage is so serious that even with the full co-operation of everyone in affected com- munities an adequate supply is not assured. Accordingly, it has been decided to stimulate the output of wood -fuel by assisting those normally engaged in its production and distribution. To this end, the following measures will be adopted: - 1 A subsidy of $1.00 per cord will be paid to dealers on all commercial fuel -wood contracted for and cut on or before Tune 30, 1943, and held, to dealers' account on that date. 2 The Coal Controller has been authorized to arrange in his discretion for the payment of such portion of the transportation costs as he considers proper in respect of fuel -wood, particul- arly in cases where dealers, to procure supplies, find it necessary to contract for fuel -wood at locations outside the area from which they normally derive their supplies. In order to obtain any such reimbursement, dealers must obtain a permit from the Coal Controller before contracting for such supplies. 3 The Coal Controller will repurchase from dealers at dealer's cost all commercial grades of fuel -wood on which a subsidy of $1 per cord has been paid and which are still in dealers' hands as at May 31, 1944. 4 Assistance will be given in providing priorities for necessary equipment. and even flooring to keep warm in this winter's sub -zero weather? 5 Farmers now on the farm, and who leave the farm temporarily in response to this appeal to engage in fuel -wood cutting, will be deemed by National Selective Service to be carrying out their regular occupation as farmers and will be given all the rights of deferment of military service which such an occupa- tion now carries. Such temporary absence should not, however, interfere with agricultural production. Municipal councils, farmers, fuel dealers, individual citizens, service clubs, and all other groups in communities where wood -fuel is burned, are urged to begin at once a rapid survey of their local situation, and to take imme- diate action to relieve the shortage.
