Years passed and at last tine man died â€" in a mid-winter Dlizzard. Uis last request was that his funeral oc held at four o clocK in ttie morning. Although scores had boasted oi be- ing his intimate friends, only 3 men and one poor woman turned out lo stand red-eyed ana sad bes^le . grave. When the wiu was real u directed that his estate be divided equally among those who attenued his funeral. Jfnends are mucn scarc- er than we tnink.

CONTROLS WILL GO AS SOON AS POSSIBLh Wartime standardization and sim- plification restrictions which have been an essential factor in the suc- cessful functioning of Canada's price and supply controls, will be lifted as soon as the need for them is gone.

How Much is a Dollar Woriii Iri dollar is wor(lt as much as it con buq^^. For instance, during rlie last world war people paid rCTfor o pound of butter, .while qou patj oround ^-n~ todaq. It is the same with shoes and the other necessities of life, in 1917, they paid w^^and younowpaq^^^forthe some quolitq. This means qour dollar is worth more than the dollar of ]914"18. Yoo get more gg for your moneij i9ie iM« â€" because price ceilings and other anti-inflation ary measures have kept the value of qour dollar HIGH! And qou will keep ij our dollar high in value bt| using moneq wiseli^uM . You protect qour dollars worth even|time qou bu4 a bond . .Pass up some needless luxury v<^\. . Pay off a debtV^. . Refuse to hoord goodsl^^g* ..And refusetofrequent black markets. That's howto make money with gour present dollars I Remember, dollars are worth less if they buy less. I promise to give my support to keeping the cost of living down. 1 will buy only what I need. I will observe the ceiling whether buying or sell- ing goods or services. 1 will pay off old debts, save for the future, invest in Victory Bonds and War Savings Certificates. And I will support taxes which help lower the cost of living. j(^ ^iu^ P^^/i^ /ii/^ A^A/ Published by THE BREWING INDUSTRY (ONTARIO) to help fCTcal the daostrs that infladoo represeats for all the people of the Nadoo.
