young horses under any conditions,

DUTCH. SAILOR SENDS
LETTER OF THANKS
Ontario's 1943 motor vehicle licens-
es will go on sale on January 4 and
must be obtained by February 28, Hon.
T. B. McQuesten, minister of high-
ways, said. _
He explained that though the term
of the 1942 license has been extended
to February 28, as in other provinces,
Ontario has found it impossible to
accede to the requestion of the .oil
controller to alter the term of vehicle
permits to coincide with that of gaso-
line ration coupon books, which are
not renewable until March 31. Such
a change would have a serious effect
on the budget for the current fiscal
year, he said.
"We shall continue to co-operate
with the oil controller," the minister
went on, "in the issuance of ration
books next year through the offices
of our agents," he said.
