H, Eletcarn administrator of farm and construction machinery for the Prices Board, said. Speaking to. the final day's session of the Ontario Association of Agricuk -tural Societies, he said. that reverses. in the war in Europe late in 1944 had upset .plans for increased supplies of machinery. Production for 1946 might even be set back below that of 1944, due to this and other factors. Output Cut Possible "Our 1945 production may be 10 per cent below that of 1944, and in the, United States it may fall .off 25 per cent, The same figures apply for 1946," The machinery administrator cm- phasized, however, that aggregate tom, nage production, mostly in repair parts, was higher in 1944 than normal-402. per cent of what it was in 1940. In tractors alone, 20,000 had been import, ed from the United States in 1944. Rationing To Continue Providing new farm machinerY for thousands of veterans being placed on the land was 'another factor which would affect the supply situation." he said. "Rationing will 'continue for .some time, as in the best interests of Canada." WHY? When the private handed over his. late pass, the corporal of the guard eyed him suspiciously. "Where did you get that black eye?" he demanded, sternly. "I went to a chance in the next vil- lage." explained the private, "and was struck by the beauty of the place." * * * "I am Red Eagle," said the Indian chieftain to his paleface visitor.
