As in Clinton, many of these branches have now been discontinued. But .the work still goes on in peacetime as in war- time, In many ways, this work is just as valuable, if not more valuable, than in the grim days of war. Funds are needed and the people are Basked to ,give what they can in the national Red Cross campaign ,which opens Monday next, March 3, and continues until Saturday, Maroh 15. , 'The national objective is $5,000,000. That is a large sum, but it is the vital minimum if the demands upon this great organization are to be met competently and faithfully in 1947. The Red . Cross record of Clinton and district has been most enviable, and it is to be hoped .that the present caanpaign will result in a hearty response to the Red Cross appeal. Although no local committee has ,been set up to handle the drive, 'd'onation's may the left at any branch bank. Subscriptions, as usual, are ,subject to income tax deduction. There its not a 'single Canadian prisoner of war who does not know wlhat the work of this organization meant, and who could not speak in tribute of it. Not a hospital patient, wounded in the service of this country, but knows the meaning of the Red Cross and the extent of its labors to ease pain and suffering, to ,bring cheer and 'comfort. The Blood Donors' Service which it organized saved the lives of thousand's of our fighting men. There are ib'hous- ands more to be saved in this year of peace. When the Red Cross Was founded its purpose was to succor in peace as well as in. war. Indeed the policy by which it has functioned .through the years i'noludes the following definition of its aims: "In time of peace or war to carry on and assist in work for the improvement of health, the prevention of disease and the mitigation of human suffering." In a sense it can be said that the Red Cross knows no peace, only trouble the trouble !which besets human- kind without cease. From wheverer the call may come— the backwoods slhatntty or the metropolitan disaster --the Red Cross must be ready to respond. But before it can re- spond it mint have the means to finance the aid it can give. O 0 0 BUSINESS LOANS TO VETERANS Many veterans of the late war have started, or wish • to start, a business of their own, but there has been a certain amount of doubt and tnisapprehen- sicnn as to what the Veterans' Loans Atct would enable the banks to do in the way of risking loans to them. The answers are provided in a booklet just issued by the Bank of Montreal. It is galled "What's the Score on these Veterans' Loons?" and is about the new Veterans'Business and Professional Loans Act. In it the bank answers, in the straightforward words of one of its m'amagers. a series of questions put by a veteran ,who wants to know "the score" far himself and for his friends. Running through the foreword and the answers to the veteran's quesitions is a wholehearted approval of the widespread endorsement of the desire for "a business of my own." But the ,bank does not hesitate to impress veterans with the fact that they must have 'a sound busi- ness proposition. And that seems !only businesslike. Be- sides their money, veterans are investing their time, effort ' and their very future in these new ,businesses, and. the Government and the banks would not be serving these ; citizens wei'I of they assisted in ventures which had no reasonable chance of success.

Wartime Prices Board Answers Questions .- Concerning Regulations Q: --II live alone and have only my' own ration book for my housekeep- ing. Because my :guoeer refuses to cit a pound of 'butter .in half I find it very difficult to .spready 'my al- lowance over the month. The grocer tells be it is against the Iaw for 'him, to cut a pound of butter in half. A:—There is :no regulation of the Wartiine Prices and Trade Board which prevents a dealer from cutting a pound of butter in half. However, we understand the pure foal laws requires that- all butter sold 'rust bear the registered number of the producer: Usually this number is printed only in one place on the wrapper and if the pound were cut one half would remain •without the number. We have contacted a large dairy and have been informed that they produce a half pound print, which they would be, glad to sell to all grocers requiring them for their customers. * Q:hf a landlord requires a rent- ed room show much notice theist be given to the tenant? The reotn ,s rented by the week. A:—If the room Is shared accom- modation the landlord would give a six months notice to vacate. Shared accommodation is where the landloi•cl and the tenant live in the sauce house and share the same entrance and any facilities, 4= Q:—When housekeeping rooms are rented by the week, what advance notice bus to be given tenants dto vacate? - A:— six months notice must be given whether the rooms are rented by the month or the week. I£ the Iandlord is renting the rooms com- pletely furnished and provides bed- ding, dishes, and towels the tenants must also be given a six months notice. In the case of boarders this board has no imisdiction. insofar as termination of notice is concerned. The notices to vacate are governed by the law of the various provinces in their case. * :. Q:--Wi11 maple syrup be under price control this year? A:—The only affiei el announce- ment yet inade regarding controls on maple Syrup and maple ,products is in order 684 which lists goods under ceiling regulations. This order lists maple products of 1946 production. This implies that maple products of 1947 will be free of ceiling eontroI. Q:—A fur coat which I bought a month ago is ripped and is going to Pieces. It was apparently 'rade from furs which had been used before. Can you make the store refund my money?
