Controller for Canada having been discontinued, the tax exemption purchase
permit system is thereby ended.

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. ,

MAGIC!
What can be made • from a maxi's
worn out shirt? 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

has been lifted according to an an-
nouncement of the regional foods
