NEWS -RECORD ADLETS DOABIGB AT LITTLi COST. For the Immediate Attention of FARMERS FISHERMEN GUIDES TOURIST OUTFITTERS who have been using MARKED GASOLINE 1. • 2. On and after October 1, 1945, gasoline will no long• er be marked for special uses. Marking of gasoline for special uses under the jurisdiction of the Oil Controller for Canada having been discontinued, the tax exemption purchase permit system is thereby ended. 3 Farmers) fishermen, guides and tourist outfitters will be entitled to claim • 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. monis Low .11 la* Mats 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 an affidavit being taken for each refund claim. This form may be obtained on application to the Gasoline Tax Branch, Department of Highways, Toronto, Ontario. m 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 its being used. al Records and reports necessary under the marked gasoline system will no longer be required. • Extra storage facil(ties will be unnecessary for the separate storage of graded and marked' gasoline with consequent saving to the consumer.

In Londesboro Hall That Huron County was fortunate seemed to be the general opinion of the large gathering which attended the showing of the National Film Board pictures in Londesboro Hall last Thursday evening. The county is fortunate in having such a good projection machine and such a suit- able operator. There was a fine selection of films which were all thoroughly enjoyed. Bert Irwin, president, Hullett Federa- tion of Agriculture, was in the chair, and between filers, he called upon Misses Phyllis McCool and Doreen Fowler, who each sang a solo and both graciously responded to the ap• plause with an encore. A record of 200 attended the after -,kris present shop and dwelling from noon showing with 130 present in the'John Nicholson, harness maker, and evening.

Entries from the schools of the district occupied a major portion of the building. R. M. Peck and Sons, Zurich, won major honors in the Shorthorn com- petitions. With five entries, the Pecks had three first prizes and two seconds. The hurdle jumps • provided oat o'f the finest exhibitions of the after- noon. Taking two hurdles in his stride in the small enclosure, 14 -year-old A. Merner, Zurich, took first prize. Ed. Schroeder and William Merner were second and third in that event. The wagon or express team ex- hibited by William Decker, Zurich, won their ninth' first prize of the season. They have appeared at most district fairs, and have been consist- ent winners. In many of the events for horses, directors of the fair, on account of the unexpectedly large number of en- tries, added fourth prize of $5. Red. Cross Quilting The Red Cross held- a quilting in the Orange Hall -on Tuesday, when three large quilts and one crib quilt were quilted. The secretary, Mrs. F. Ross, read communications regarding National Clothing Collection which takes place Oct. 1-20. Anyone having good second-hand clothing is asked to leave it at the Public Library.
