week those who hove been burning oil had an announcement that was startling and reallotment of gasoline ration books has brought out the fact that rationing is not the joke that some considered it these are but part of what can be anticipated the duration they arc not regulations imposed by the government or any of the boards but restric tions that the germans and japanese have made necessary this country at the outbreak of war had good stocks on hand of nearly every commod ity the drain of nearly three years rjf war and the loss of supplies at sea have depleted these stocks only by rationing can the supplies be equally dis tributed there is no sense in hoarding because such 11 method will only make it necessary for measures to make the hoarder divide his pile up to the present

your next winters supply of coal and hard all the war savings certificates and victory j-btrmis- you cflrt v smnll towns opportunity the war has affected us in all our walks of life but in no way perhaps as much as in the change it has made in our buying habits a change which can not be other than beneficial to the small town for the past several decades in fact since the arrival of the automobile the general tendency across the country has been for people to see the largecntres in which to buy thus the crossroad village was passed by for the adjacent town of three or four thousand and as time went on the town was passed by for the city of ten or twenty thousand with an ever increasing tendency to make frequent trips to the large cities for shopping there but the war has changed all that mr and mrs canada have now found that they must stay close to home in order to save gasoline and rubber and so the home towns of canada arc now sitting in the drivers sent people who have been in the habit of going out of town for their home needs are going to think twice about those extra miles with tires so scarce local stores will be looked over intently and if they earn the right to this business thdy will get it this is the small town s opportunity to reach those people who from habit have strayed to bring them back and educate them into new habits for the future to da is the small town s opportunitv it is given an opportunity to revivify itself the omanner in which it performs its wartime duty to the people of the surrounding district will be the yardstick by which its
