V Price Board Facts of Waitime Interest Your questions will be answered by. the Women's Regional Advisory Com- mittee to the Consumer Branch, War- time Prices- and Trade Board and should be sent to 291 Dundes'Street London. Q, My son who is ie the army.' has stored his car in a garage for the duration.. Recently the landlord who owns this garage raised the rent from $2.50 to $3.00 g month. Is there no ceiling on garage rentals? A. Indeed there is..Landl,irds may not rent a garage at a higher rate now than they were charging on the basic date, October 11, 1941. Q. Can my landlord give me notice when I cannot` pay my rent in ad- vance, but pay it up from month to month, when it is due. A. If the rent is in arrears the landlord has the same rights as al- ways existed under the Landlord and Tenants Act. Q. I have always paid my grocer 70c a bag for coarse salt plus 10e for delivery. Recently I bought two bags and he charged me $1.70, Wouldn't this be considered as breaking the price ceiling. A. Yes and you should report the details to your Price Board office; unless, of course, your dealer was charging the higher pride durine the basic period, September 15•—Oct- ober 11, 1941. • Q Is it alright to continue using the tea, • coffee, and sugar coupons in the old book? A. Yes: until March 31, when they become null and void. Q. Would you ,please tell me again when restaurants can charge extra for milk? I still haven't got it straight. A. Customers who have been pay- ing be for milk with an a la' carte meal may not be charged more. than 5e now. But. when milk is ordered with a table d-hote meal the restaur. ateur is allowed to add 5c to the total cost of the meal. For instance a 6Uc dinner would be 65c. Q. Is it necessary for a farm pro- cessor to get a permit to make maple syrup? A. No: There are no regulations covering permits for farmers produc- ing maple syrup. • Q. I drive a truck and do not carry my employer's gasoline ration book. How could I 'get repairs when it is illegal for a garageman to make them without first seeing the owner's ration book. • A, A new order of the Wartime Prices. and Trade Board permits gar- agemento make repairs as long as the driver presents a letter from his employer or manager of the employer stating the number of the ration book and the license number. Q. My grocer refused, to sell me su- gar until I had. signed the sugar coupon sheet. Is thisreally necessary?, A. Yes indeed; And youwill save time if you will sign the sheets for tea or coffee and butter too.. before you go to the store the next time. Q. How can I tell what price I should pay for oranges? They are a different price every time •I go into the store. A. From now on every grocer is re- quired to tag each ease of oranges with the size and the price for that size. You will soon get used to looking for the tag. Q. We selI potatoes` by the ;bag to It retailer. Are we allowed to charge a deposit on the bags? ' A. No, Your markup gives you a fail profit without charging for the container. Q. I understand the r government called in all used steel drums. We have just emptied two. Where will we take them? A. Return them to your supplier or to anauthorized dealers. v The days are near at hand when re- pair gangs will set out to tear up every good _stretch of pavement they can find. PAGE IF POSSIBLE AVOID TRAVEL OVER WEEK -ENDS AND HOLIDAYS YOIJ HEAR IT at all hours that long -drawn cry of theloco- motivewhistle. It's the war whoop of the railways. It may be a troop train speeding to keep a date with a convoy : s it may be a long freight loaded with tanks, guns and other materials of war, many of them built by the railways themselves .: s it may be another week's supply of raw materials to keep a war plant in production, or food, fuel and other essentials for the home front. It is the proud war whoop of Canada's greatest war industry -- the railways, which are serving the nation as effectively in war as in peace. Only the railways can furnish mass transportation on such a scale. Your railways were ready ready in war, so that Canada could strike with all her might. They will be ready in . peace again to serve a greater Canada:: rolling ever forward on high- ways of steel. CANADIAN RAILWAY FREIGHT RATES ARE THE LOWEST iN THE WORLD CANADIAN NATIONAL CANADIAN PACIFIC The Coming Crisis in Fuel ens, of gas, tires, drivers and, help- ers, elp- Rock Hen Lays an ors, 3. The number of -men working in the coal nines and available for wood' cutting etc., is dropping, d. Supply is down, demand up, and fuel carrying facilities greatly decrea- sed. Education of the Public ami sup- port by the people in fuel conserve -i tion measures are absolutely neces- sary. All Canada had better get busy this summer finding fuel for next winter. Vancouver, Canada's third largest city, had a desperate fuel shortage in January when the writer was there. Zero weather caught the West Coast unprepared. Supplies of sawdust, a common fuel on the coast, failed, People were frozen out of their homes. Churches, schools and many' public buildings were closed. Laundries and bakeries were quitting by the score. Many workers on vital shipyard jobs missed work because they had to hunt fuel for their families. The crisis was really serious and was only partly overcome by the Army stepping in and cutting wood for civilian use. In the previous January I saw Halifax snowbound in a blizzard which stopped milk, fuel and ether deliveries for days. Water pipes were bursting through lack of fuel, and, es in Van- couver, the people learned a good les- son in the penalties of neglect, Ontario, still locked in a cold spell with March half gone, is the worst sit- uated province in Canada from a fuel standpoint, Both the West Coast and the Maritimes have coal near at hand, but Ontario is dependent mainly on imported Boal and electric power. Wood supplies in the province have been ruined by years of•extravagant waste and neglect of reforestra- tion. In Toronto, dealers are scrap- ing the •bottom of their 'bins. 'Business men and war workers•carry bags of coal home in their cars. People 'collect scrap wood and paper to burn. The situation is no laughing mat- ter' at all. "Canada", as a famous English statesman once said, "Is like a beautiful woman who never had a lover, cold and frigid." Empire des- cription, "Our Lady of the Snows," is accurate. Canadian winters are noth- ing to fool with. Blaming the dealers' or Ottawa authorities does not make sense. War conditions, in a vicious circle, create the fuel shortage' and will probably make it •woese. The fuel famine is due "mainly to: f: An enormous increase in the amount of coal used industrially for war production: 2. Transportation facilities • are taxed to the limit, and the problem of getting coal from the mines to markets (:particularly in Ontario) is 1 becoming increasingly difficult. De-. ' livery of coal by dealers to domestic and industrial users presents a'rtead- ily increasing problem due to short - Egg Within an Egg On the farm of William Hunter of Zion there is a rock hen that every couple of weeks or so produces la freak egg—an egg within • an egg. The publisher was presented with one sof these curios a few days agog The egg resembled a goose egg in size, measuring 9 inches by 7 1-2 inches in. girth. On breaking the outer egg, we found a normal hard -shelled hen's, egg within. Between the two eggs was the albumen of another egg but no yolk. Mr. Bunter says that pre- vious eggs have contained -both the yolk and the white. Luucknow Sentin- el. V Sugar, Tea and Coffee To Expire March 31st Sugar, tea and coffee coupons in number one ration book have no value after March 81, states E. J. jFarley, Regional Superintendent ,Ra- tion Division, Wartime Prices and ITrade Board, London. ' Once sugar, coffee and tea cou- pons come due there has never been any expiry date, but this has all been changed as far as Ration Book Num- ber One is concerned. Coupons in the old (Number One) ration book may be cashed after March 31, says Mr. Farley. They' are all valid now, and if they are to be used at all, must be used •beforo the end of the month. Sugar, tea and coffee 'coupons in the new ration book recently issued, have no expiry date. A Chicago woman was as rested for smashing a shop window. Probably slaw a bat just like hers for less money. WE ARE PAYING 3½% ON FIVE YEAR GUARANTEED.
