RESTRICTIONS ON CONVENTIONS AND TRAVEL LIFTED The ban on travel and convention gatherings which was imposed last June will be lifted 1?Jovember lst, ac- cording to an announcement by W.

For the Immediate Attention of FARMERS FISHERMEN GUIDES TOURIST OUTFITTERS who have been using MARKED GASOLINE •4i '• On and after October 1, 1945, gasoline will no longer be marked for special T "uses. 2. 3. 4. Marking of" gasoline for special uses under the jurisdiction of the .Oil Controller for Canada having been discontinued, the tax exemption purchase permit system is thereby ended. Farmers, fishermen, guides and tourist outfitters will -be entitled to Haim refund of the Provincial Gasoline Tax where applicable. Claims, accompanied by receipted invoices, must be submitted to the Gasoline Tax Branch, Department of Highways, Parliament Buildings, Toronto within six months from date of payment of invoices. A simplified method of assuring prompt payment of refunds, eliminating affidavits for each claim, has been worked out. As there is no rationing of gasoline in Canada, marked gasoline, under the' jurisdiction of the Oil Controller for Canada, has been eliminated, thereby. ending the tax exemption purchase permit system. • To meet the desire of everyone to be relieved of wartime restrictions, the Provincial Government has developed a new system as free from controls and difficulties as possible. A simplified refund form has been prepared which eliminates the necessity of anaffidavit being taken for each refund claim: This form may b•e obtained on application to the Gasoline Tax Branch, Department of Highways; Toronto, Ontario. • The ending of marked gasoline sale removes difficulties made necessary by this wartime control, • Complaints were made that marked gasoline was detrimental to the equipment in which it was being used. • Records and reports necessary under the marked gasoline system will no longer be required. d • Extra storage facilities will be unnecessary for the separate storage 'of graded and marked gasoline with consequent saving to the consumer. , Dentia*en of H d►I i'v oys, ° Province of.

"The housing 'problem can no longer be localized in a few centres, it is now a. national problem." Fredr'J.

Six handkerchiefs are, one thing, two from the front, four from the back. Out of it can instead appear a dress for the one to three-year-old. The dress front comes from the back of the shirt while the dress back is cut from the front of the shirt, putting the steam down the dress back. Sleeves and a little collar are cut from the shirt sleeves. Wath the addition of some gay embroidery or colored ric-rac braid a pretty little dress emerges, TIMING THE STITCH. Part of the "stitch in time” rota, tine is keeping a sharp lookout for spots that are wearing thin and ap- plying reinforcement measures before holes appear. At this stage any simi- Iar material may be, used for the patch, which will be invisible when applied to the wrong side of the gar- ment. Stout leather patches applied to the knees of boys' breeches when new will add months of wear. Look to old purses and gloves to furnish the leather. SLAUGHTER QUOTA LIFTED The slaughter quota on beef cattle has been lifted according to an an- nouncement of the regional foods officer of the . Wartime Prices and Trade Board. Because of the current heavy runs "Our Family Regulator is DR. CHASE'S la"" PILLS„ LIVER of cattle, the slaughter quota on cat- tle has been temporarily removed. The Board will re -impose the slaugh- ter quota if it appears that more cat- tle are being slaughtered than the ration demand requires. It was pointed out, however, that each .permit holder will be required to make weekly reports to the Board showing all animals 'killed. The quota was not removed ort hogs.
