But every motorist knew what the available allotment was, andin the majority of caees governed them- selves accordingly. In the early years many a motor - fist end himself afoot ecause he just didn't believe the Oil Controller , could possibly harden hisheart en - rough oul h to refuse their urgent appeals for just a little more gats. But one such experience was enough. After that every motorist, farmers except- ed, made a careful study of their gas supply and planned their car use t() it, As a consequence, the disappear- ance of the pleasure ear from our .highways was immediate and amaz in Highways like the Queen lzabcth, where once . cars ran bumper to bumper, mile upon mile, over the week -ends, particularly in stammer,became wide open spaces where one could travel an hour with- out meeting or passing another car. On other roads and highways, prettymuch the same conditions rule The car was the exception, not the rule.. And it was that way for a long, long time... So long that �pie living on the highways and in the small towns and villagesbecame accustomed and rather attached to • the new era of quiet week -ends. And greatly profited by them too. But it is all over now. The reac- tion to the removal of the gas re- strictions last week was just as im- mediate and amazing as the reaction that resulted from their imposition. Over the Week -end, and particularly on Sunday, was the change notice- able. On Sunday evening more cars Hass ed through Seaforth on No. 8 ighway than were seen in the pre- ceding month of Sundays. At night there was a steady beam of light that continued .until long after midnight. It wai3, of course, a particularly Bone, warm week -end, but not a holi- day one, just a forerunner of many yet to come. The world is wheeling again. • Investigation Needed The Dominion Government has set up an extensive and complete sys- tem for the training of our returned risen in all mechanical trades. That is as it should be, but at the same time, it shot'id be pointed out that this system gives no guarantee to any returned man, who is a graduate of a government trade . school, that lie will be able to secure employment' in certain trades. As a matter of fact, there are some -t.+rades where unions have decreed certainapprenticeship conditions necessary before any one can obtain union membership. And in many trades the apprenticeship time has been' .. so extended that it takes as long, or longer, to become a journey - mann as it does to become a doctor or a member of some of the other more skilled professions. The professional men are concern- ed as well. Some of these, who after being discharged, may desire to .change their residence to some other Halt, of Canada, to some other Pro- vince. In . all probability they are �ding to find themselves barred by Iylaws formed by professional as - a ations in these Provinces. Fur- aminations will,., have to be (lore Doerr can practise in a gra are hula aitries clots $r IP go pito commercial Viking, be will be up against the Public Utilities Board, as well as the amn wpb has been given the exclusive franchise on the route he himself desire to trav- el.. Before he obtains a license he mini: show the Board that there is bu enough along this conte for self, as well as for the trucker already in business. And that is a very difficult thing to do. There are hundreds of other in- stances nstages in industries, trades and pro- fessions, and before very long Can- ada's rehabilitation plans for return- ed men are going to clash with the restrictions that have made mon- opolies of far too many businesses and professions in this ., country in the past ten or twenty years. It shoud be the right of every citizen to enter any bulsinees or trade he. desires, but under present-day condi- tions the average citizen has no such right. There should be a complete investi- gation ,of these restrictive regula- tions that have multiplied so in re- cent years, and it is possible that the difficulties the Govertiment will ex- perience in rehabilitating service , men, because of thele, will force such an issue. j Certainly .such an investigat on would be in the public interest. i e believethat every serviceman should have the absolute right to use their.. rehabilitation allowances and gratui- ties for the purpose of setting 'them- selves..up in business in any trade, business or profession without legal opposition from those already estab- lished in those lines. • Growing Teeth Again The United Kingdom Information :Office informs us that faulty teeth. have been extracted and replaced to -grow again by British surgeons of St. Mary's, the famous London hos- pital and 'birthplace of penicillin. This revolutionary treatment • in dentistry has been successfully ap- plied to abscesses and root infection. In one case the tooth was extracted, the infected ends •of the roots were c-ut off, the pulp canals filled, and the tooth replaced in the sockets, which had been treated with penicillin to relieve them. • Five months after the tooth had been replaced, bone had reformed around the roots. The tooth was.so firm m that it was made tU carry a missing neighboring tooth on a bridge- • / • The information is , particularly interesting to us, because just a. week ago we had an infected tooth remov- ed and penicillin administered ---ten shots of it—but the gap is still there. However, five months' from now we may have s different .story to tell. Perhaps by that time the peni- cillin may have grown another tooth. r Eight Years of War Last vve(,sels the Associated Press released s )me very interesting infor- mation on World War II: . Japan's surrender will bring world peace for the first time in over eight years, since July 7, 1937, when Jap- anese and Chinese soldiers clashed near Peiping. Just three months and five days after the unconditional surrender of Germany, Japan yielded to the might of the Allies.. Actually, single fighting has been under way in Asia since September 18, 1931,.when the Japanese invaded Manchuria. Great Britain has been ate war since September 3, 1939, within two weeks of six years. For the United States, August 16th was the first full day of peace since the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941. Russia had fought from June 22, 1941, when it was attacked by Ger- many, but was at peace for three months between May 9th, when Ber- lin capitulated, and August 9th, when it declared war on Japan. The European war alone cost the sacrifice of more than 8,000,000 men in battle with a total of mere than. 40, ,000 casualties. The cost Ana elOSO to $1 000 000900x000 Frons' The Matron Expositor eleptember 3, 1920 • Messrs, rand Miasma and Hugh r 1137 saws a. 1$014 the d+jstrieL There was so mach straw this year that a tenon jest na- turally overlooked the fact that the heads were shorter and thatsome of the . grain is a bit dwarfed- TbirtY hnsliels to the acre is still a pretty good crop. and I guess we have a lot to be thankful for.

Threshing itsn't what it,used to be and maybe it's jest as welL The old steam engine with its huffing and aerating was always a figure of ro- mance for a country boy when it pulled in. Threshing was done for the most part in the barn. By hang- ing around, a fellow could usually get a trip or two down to the creek when the tank -man was filling up his tank with water • for the engine. My father always insisted that we boys work in the granary. We had to keep the grain pushed back in the bins aad it was a tedious job. There was always more fun out around the engine. The danger with the old steam engines came from sparks as the wind might shift around, blowing the smoke from the stack towards the barn, The usual wood was a pile of•aid, fence rails which the tank - man sawed up on a small saw with a belt from the pulley on the big wheel. Nowadays they have tractors that run pretty well themselves. The tank - man and his wagon and pump and team are gone.

Price Increase in Alsike Clover Seed An increase in the ceiling price of alsike clover seed by five cents per pound, effective as from August 6th, has been announced by Nelson Young, Seeds Administrator. As from August 6th alsike clover seed will sell at prices not higher than 34 cents per pound for lots 31 pounds or over, 36 cents per pound for plots from six to 30 lbs., and 38 cents per lb. for lots of one to '5 lbs. The reason for the increase is that in recent years the acreage and pro- duction of alsike clover seed has been decreasing, due principally to higher returns from competitive crops. Meanwhile the domestic demand for Malice seed continues and the export demand is increasing, It is expected that the demand from overseas will take care of any surplus production for some time to come. Also effective from August 6th the ceiling price of Ladino white clover seed, a comparative now commodity, now being produced in substantial quantities In Canada, has been estab- lished at $2,10 per Lb, for lots from ono to 5 lbs,; $2.05 per Ib, for lots of 6 to 30 lbs,; over 30 lbs., the' maxi- mum retail price is $2,00 per ib, This is considered proper when compared with the prices being paid for other atralnn of white clover seed.
