ISSUE EXCEEDS ' 1,
LAST BY 291
Ration books 'issued in the 'Seaforth
district, comprising 'the town and
Townships of M'eKillop - and Tucker -
smith, took a 'decided jump in num-
ber last :week when the total amount-
ed to 4,452, as. .increase of 291 over
the issue of March last .. Of --this num-
ber, 519 were-issned at Bruc'efleld.
The increase is 'possibly accounted
•for by the fact of 'ao •many summer
visitors being in the 'district at this
time of year, and many from the sur-
rounding districts and even strangers
passing through availed themselves of
the opportunity of securing the new
ration books, rather than wait to ob-
tain t(hem.at their own homes on their
return. '
While the 'distributing centres,
Town Hall, Seaforth, and United+
Church, Brucefield, were fairly busy
eraeh day,• the big rush for books came
on Friday, when over two thousand
were deeued. • It was 'generally anttel-
pated that the rush hours would come
on Saturday afternoon and evening,
but as far as •Seaforth was concern-
ed and at a number of other centres
as well, 'Saturday was rather a quiet
day. Twenty applications were incor-
rectly filled in and the ' owners will.
have to await some other occasion
to receive their ration. books.
M, A. Reid was 'chairman of des,
trict distri'bu•tion, while F. W. Wigg
was distributing chief for Seaforth,
and had as assistants J. C. McKen-
zie, W. E. Southgate, • P. W. Hoag,.
Roderick McLean 1t H. Harrison,
Boeweil," Miss Gladys
Thompson, Miss Alice Reid and .Miss

At Brucefield Reeve S. H. Whitmore
was distributing chief, and had as as-
sistants Mrs. Ross •Scott, Mrs. W. Me -

Since then •a ;modern pumping out-
fit has'"".been installed and on Satur-
day morning last the plant went into
operation with' most gratifying re-
sults. ' In 'fact, the results are far
above expectation."'
The brine from the well tests over
100 per cent. and runs' three pounds,
of salt per gallon of brine. Mr, W.
R. Belden, who promoted the. com-

said on Tuesday that the salt produc-
tion run for the first three days was
8 ton per pan per day, and that when
further extensions, not yet completed,
were made, the output would be 15
tons per pan per day.
