Car Priorities Discontinued;
Output Low
Ottawa,—Discontinuance of priority
certificates for automobiles Aug. 1, was
announced by Reconstruction Minister
Howe.
Priorities granted prior to Aug. 1
swill continue to he filled as cars be-
come available.
The hard fact of the ruling is that
for non-priority holders, that shiny
new model is more elusive than ever.
There is some speculation that it may
be a year or 18 months before a back-
log of 60,000,,priorities is filled. ,
Material shortages and labor disput-
es have combined to slow production
and even the priority holders will have
to wait some time before they are be-
hind the wheel` of a postwar ear.
Applications on file before July 1st,
will be screened and only where prior-
ity qualifications are met, will certifi-
cates be issued.
House May Sit Until
October •1
Ottawa,—Senator John T. Haig,
Progressive Conservative leather in the
upper chamber, prophesied that "We
will be lucky if this 'session of Parlia-
ment is over before October 1st.
, Senator Haig said the Commons
was making very little progress on
the budget resolutions, and the bills
based on them would not reach the,
Senate for two weeks. It was "terri-
bly disappointing."
Terrorists Hunted Street
By Street
Jerusalem,—Twenty thousand Brit-
WI troops, ordered to "shoot to kill"
violators, clamped a 22-hour-a-day
curfew on Tel Aviv and began a sys-
tematic street-by-street hunt for ter-
rorists responsible for recent outbreaks
of violence in the Holy Land,
The entire population of 200,000 in
the modern all-Jewish city was under
house arrest as the troops began their
vast man-hunt, unprecedented in the
turbulent history of Palestine, Up to
3,0 0 arrests were expected.
Food Shortage Nearing Worst
London,--The world food situation
is reaching its mostcritical stage in
the last week of, the 1945-46 'crop year
as stocks drop to their lowest level
and the new harvest is only now 1)1017-
in into consumption, the Food Min-
istry said in a white 'paper.
Events since April, the report con-
tinued, have confirmed the grave out-
look forecast in the first review of the
world food shortage.
Ontario Polio Called
"Potentially Serious"
Toronto,---More cases of poliornyel-
etis than were anticipated earlier in
the year have been recorded in Ont-
ario and the situation was described
as "potentially serious" by . Dr. J. 1'.
Phair, deputy minister of health.
"I would hesitate to say at present
that the situation is serious", he said.
"It may be discribed as potentially ser-
ious in that the distribution of the cas-
es has been pretty general and not
confined to any one area." In Ontario
there have been 30 cases of polio-
myeletis this year with three.deaths.

`Strike Fever' In Canada Costs
Millions in Contracts
Ottawa,—George J. Mcllraith, par-
liamentary assistant to Reconstruction
Minister Howe, said in an interview
that, as a result of the prolonged
strike "fever" in Canadian industry,
locomotive and railway rolling stock
manufacturers have had overseas con-
tracts canceled which would have kept
their plants in, full prOduction for
years,
He said the same situation existed in
the ship-building industry, which had
held orders for delivery of small steel
vessels that would have kept shipyards
busy for' years.
"In terms of millions of dollars and
thousands of jobs, the loss, has been
tremendous," Mr. Mellraith said,
Great Rubber Tonnage Flows
From War-Rested Trees
Washington,—Natural rubber, lack
of which threatened the Allied war ef-
fort for a time, is coming back. Plan-
tation growers of Malaya, the Dutch
East 'Indies and Ceylon already are be-
ginning to wonder what they are going
to do with the increasing tonnage
flowing from their war-rested trees.
In a swelling tide of_ Canadian and
American-made automobiles- calling for
millions .of tires and other rubber con-
suming accessories they see hope .the
supply can -be ;used.

year-old Donald Robertson during a

New Silver Price
Boon To Canada

a boon for Canadian silver producers
in the new price of 90.5 cents an oz,
the 'United States Treasury is auth-
orized to pay in buying and selling'
• silver..
The measure signed by President
Truman, also gives American silver
mines a 19-cents-an-ounce increase on
their premium on silver from Ameri-
can mines.

era around the back kitchen -are in full
glory it's quite apparent, The old ram-
bier rose gives off a Particular scent,
It sort of blends with the smell of
soap after a bath and the aroma of
burning tobacco, The hired, man was
smoking a cigar he got at a wedding
and that really gave spice to the scent,
ed brew of night
It's the sounds at night that really
fascinate me. You hear the horses and
cattle in a sort of shuffle as they move
around the pasture field, There are
chickens murmuring "cheepily" in the
coops in the orchard. Some of the old
hens are roosting in the fruit trees. I
read somewhere about the "feathery
stumbling" of chickens on a roost.
That so apt expression popped intno
my mind.
• Suchansuch, the old billy goat was
ramming his head against the barn-
yard gate. The pigs were grunting
contentedly from the pigpen, A sheep
bell tingled away across the meadows
and I remembered my grandmother
who used to listen for the tinkle-tank-
le" of the sheepbells and say, "Ah, the
fairies are out this night. Hear the
wee bells jingling."
The dog scratches himself with a
thumping of his paw on -the floor,
moans a bit and then settles back to
sleep again. The June bugs are suzz-
ing and battling against the mystery
of the screen door. . A train moans low
and then zooms through the valley
leaving a rushing, mumbling furrow
of sound behind it.
The rocking chair squeaks a 'lullaby
and a man gets tired after pumping
out several clippers full of water frotn
the old well in order to get a cool one
he goes off to the contentment of a
night's rest after a clay of toil.

What could possibly be any more
pleasant than a summer evening in
the country? just take tonight for in-
stance and compare the pleasure that
this wonderful evening gives with any-
thing you want from the latest New
York night club revue to a boat trip
down a famous river.
It was a hot day, In fact this was
about the first real summery day we've
had. Working in the fields the sweat
poured off both man and beast. At the
same time we got a really good day of
work in, After supper and milking
we went back for an hour of Work,
The team was let out to pasture and
we went up to the house,
Mrs, Phil had the kettle on so we
had a good soaking in the old tin tub.
Then a change of clothes and equipped
with an old pair of carpet slippers, I
moved out to the back stoop for the
evening performanee There Was just
a trace of breeze Y . , a movement of
air that was enough to make a person
feel cooler.
The darkness closes its slowly; tVeti
at nine thirty there are still patches Of
faded blue but they slowly vanish and
the black darkness takes over. A sum,
frier night is full of Sotinds and smellS,

itors. At the conclusion a pleasant
hour was enjoyed.
