Points in Operating An Electric
Sewing Machine
1. Clean and oil the electric machine
after each garment is made.
2. Use pure sewing machine oil—
other ails gum. Use'•a small quan-
tity.
3. Thread, needle ane'fabric must
correspond for perfect workman-
ship. For the average family sew-
ing, Nos. 60 to 90 thread is used
and No. 1 needle for machine.
4. Purchase needles where sewing
machine was 'bought. Place the
needle in needle bar"with flat side
toward wheel. Fasten needle clamp
securely' with screw driver.
Always use the same thread in
bobbin' as on top of machine. Buy
the best thread and that which
corresponds to fabric—rayon oe
raypn only.
6. Replace bobbin firmly and correct -

The supply of textiles. is not adequate to the demand.
Fax six years, most of the world output has gone to war.
Victory has not improved the situation.
There will not be enough textiles in Canada for many months to
come:
Canada depends largely on
other sources for raw materials
and for some yarns and
fabrics.
A serious manpower shortage
still confronts the textile in -
d Itry of all Allied countries,
Shortages overseas must be
met. It will take months before
production ' is resumed in
Europe.
Substantial quantifies of all
kinds of textiles ore still

Domestic demand for textiles
increased sharply during the
war. It is still going up.
Civil an dothing needs of
returning servicemen and wo-,.t._.
men are swelling the demand
here at home.
CONSERVATi.ON IS THE KEYNOTE
This year, -production directives have again been
issued to the textiles industry.
They are intended to divert output to, more
essential goods.
But directives alone cannot cure a situation arising
front world conditions.
The answer lies in conservation: More than ever;
the need is to conserve, toioke care of what
(here is, to mend, make -over and make -do;

Coamparty of Qanada..by The British,
Auterican Oft Company Limited was
annqunced this week by W. 1n, White-
ford, President of Britieb. Aatiericat#r
Oil, • Union, Oil of Canada' is a whol•
ly-owned subs,Idiary. . of Union Oil of
California and Itas been one of the
Iarge marketers o1` petroleum ,pro-
ducts in British 'Columbia and Alber-
ta. In addition to its retail outlets
and- distribution, Utioe, Oil has ex.
tensive marine bunkering and stor-
age facilities located in Vancouver
Harbor.
In Vancouver to complete the deal
with Union Oil Company officials: are
A. H. Miller, vice-president in charge
of sales of The British American Oil
Company, J. C. Hall, regional sales
manager, Western Region, of B-4 Oil.
Be the deal B -A Oil extends its
marketing activities .froth coast to
coast and the added volume of busi-
ness accruing to B -A through the ac-
quisition of Union outlets will estab-
lish British American Oil as the lead-
ing independent Canadian marketer
of petroleum products in B.C.—a posi-
tion the Company enjoys throughout
the rest of Canada.
Organized under Ontario charter in
1906 a, an independent Canadian
Company, British American Oil in
1909 took out a Dominion Charter
and expanded into the Quebec -area.
Throughpurchase of the Winnipeg
Oil 'Company in 1920; the Company
entered the Prairie Provinces, and,
in 1934, started to move into B.C.,
consolidating its position as far west-
ward as ,the East Kootenays and
Okanagan Valley before wartime
controls put a stop to further expan-
sion. The Company had entered the
Maritimes in 1935 and only the war
interfered with the further expansion
and rapidgrowth of the company in
this• territory
.British American is a complete]
integrated company- owning its o
crude oil wells, gathering and pip
lines, refineries, marine and inlan
bulk storage and marketing facil
ties. Crude oil •is processed in fiv
refineries located at Montreal, Toron
to, Clarkson, Ont., Moose Jaw an
Calgary. The Clarkson Refinery, open
ed in the fall of 1943 for the menu
facture .of aviation gasoline and lub
ricating_ oils, is regarded as the mos
modern and completely integrated
lubricating oil refinery in the Domin
ion.
Mr. Miller stated that British Am
erican Oil does not contemplate im
mediate construction of a refinery a
Vancouver. Union Oil products have
lopg been recognized for quality and
arrangements have' been made with
Union Oil of California whereby that
company will 'manufacture in its new
catalytic cracking process plant'alt
Wilmington, California, the finest of
California crudes to B -A's particular
specifications. In addition to its. own
famous line of brand products, B -A
ntends to continue marketing Triton
Motor Oil and other first line Union
Oil brand products through its newly
acquired British Columbia outlets.
For the convenience of the Cana-
ian motorist, 'British American Oil
ow offers credit facilities to motor-
sts travelling anywhere in Canada
nd the United States, the 'latter
made possible through a credit card
xchange with the Gulf Oil Company,
Mid -Continent Petroleum Corporation
f Tulsa, Okla., and The Union Oil
ompany of California.
According to the Company's latest
nancial statement which covers op -
rations for the year -1944, British
American Oil Company's assets are
n excess of $67,000,000. Issued capi-
al stock consists of 2,772,642 shares

Slaughter Quotas
In setting quotas for domestic
slaughtering of hogs and cattle the
meat division of tbe Wartime Prices
and Trade Board has adopted "as a
general broad basis 75 per cent of
the hogs and 100 per cent of the cat-
tle slaughtered during tie basic per-
iod of 1941," according to a joint
statement issued by the Department
of Agriculture and the Wartime Pric-
es and Trade Board'. But at the pres-
ent time all quotas are being review-
ed and where the number of animals
actually slaughtered has been , less
204.
GOOD APPETITE...
GOOD IDiGESTION
than the former quota, a new guota
is being set, in line with the actual
need. •
In Ontario in the early part of the
year an average of nearly 10,000 cat -
tie were slaughtered in inspected
,plants, whereas during the week be-
ginning August 13th slaughtering to-
talled 7,019 head', The estimated
slaughter of cattle at inspected planta
throughout Canada for the last half
of 1.945 is 825,000 head. This repre-
sents a' weekly average slaughter' of
32,000 head, or 2,000 per week high-
er than in 1944.
The slaughter of 825,000 head will
enable Canada to fulfill her canned:
meat undertaking, but on" the basis of
restricted consumption it will provide
only 80 million pounds for export.
This will leave a deficit of 40 million
pounds.
Black Markets
During the week of August 18th,
several centers of 'sugar black mar-
keting operations were wiped out in
Canada, according to reports issued
by the Wartime Prices and Trade
Board_ The smashing of one exten-
sive black market -began with the
suspension of a business license of a
Montreal candy firm. This company
is alleged, to have secured at least
20,000 pounds of s, gar in deals in-
volving stolen coupons and sugar
transfer vouchers and had been a re-
peated offender under price and ra-
tioning regulations. Prosecution of
the company and of a number of
others involved in the illegal activity
is under way. Found in possession of
enough coupons to purchase 3,900+
pounds of sugar, a Toronto man was
given a three month jail sentence and
fined $500. Seizure of half a million
counterfeit sugar coupons together
with printing equipment culminated
a series of investigations in the Mon-
treal area. This was the second seiz-
ure of a counterfeit sugar coupon.

CARE—FOR LONG WEAR
Do your fine rayon garments show
signs of wear after the first wash?
Wet rayons are amazingly weak --so
treat them to lukewarm water, rich
mild soap suds and very gentle
squeezing.Never soak. Never wring
or twist. Dry away from sunlight or
direct heat. 'Never leave rolled up•
damp.
CLEAN FURNACE NOW
Next winter will be a chilly one.
Canadians are bound to feel the lack
of coal so it is very important._to
get the maximum heat out of every
shovelful: A dirty furnace does not
heat efficiently, so start now to clean.
