Publisheri Sugar Ration Raised Three Pounds Per Person The Canadian sweet woiJi got a lift with the announcement of an in- crease of three pounds in the individ- ual sugar ration for 11)46 and corre- sponding iKwstfe in the allotment for soft drinks, biscuit, cereal and con- fectionery manufacturers, bakero, hotels and restaurants. The increase, fir^t announced in the ^ ";';.a<jiiS''</ 'Acting Finance Minis- ter Abbot and later detailed in a Pric- es Board statement, resulted from an imfprovement in stocks and will be ef- fective for the last three months of this year. The consumer increase of three pounds â- will boost the individual ra- tion to 31 Lbs. for the year, compared with 28 lbs. which the average user would get at the present rate, giving the individual the sanae amount as he received in 1945. The board said the increase will be made by increasing the rate at which sugar ration covipons, each good for one lb., become valid. Under the new pten. Two extra coupons will become valid in September and the 3rd on or about December 6. On this basis, five sugar coupons in the new ration book No 6, wiU be de- clared valid Septemlber 19, two others in October, three in Novemiber and tfcree in December. In addition to the 31-l!b. ration for the year, each con- !. jTier also is entitled to 10 lbs. of sugar f<w canning purposes.

Substantial exiwrt increases were registered for the first six months oi the years to 13 imiportant countries including Argentina, China, The Netherlands and Sweden. Smaller in- creased were shown in shipments to a large number oi countries such as Abyssinia, Burma, Chile. Siam and "Wftsey. Large reductions in exports â€" mostly in tools of war â€" were made to India, Great Britain, Greece, Italy and the United States. The volntary Surrender of ration coupons made it possible to send 200,000 lbs. of meat to Czechoslo- vakia and 123.000 lbs to France. Over 40 mills lbs. of Canadian meat went to UNJ^.R.A- since the beginning of the year â€" all packed in 12 oz- tins. 48 to a ca'se. A note of warning appears to be sounded in information issued by the South African government in its first release of trade figures since 193Q. It s"Eows that Canada hais lost the leading role which it once had as a supplier for that country, having fall- en to Vth place in 1944 from Brd place in 193S. The Ottawa Bureau of Statistics figures for the first six months of lft46 showS a new increase o(f exports to that country this year and if this new rate is maintained. Canada may regain the lost grdund. The "foreign trade inquiries" sec- tion shows that Burmetee merchants are interested in purchasing from Canada such articles as hardware, tools, textiles, clocks and paper and in selling fo Canada rice, cotton Seed, oils, metal ores, rUibies and other precions stones. Family Bible Presented To Prince Artl*ur Lodge An interesting event took place at the regular meeting of Prince Arthur Lodge, -Vo. 333, A.F.&A.M., Friday evening, when the family Bible of the late W.

Fleia- erton, on Sunday aiteinoon, with a large number present, the crowd being somewhat smaller than expect- ed, due to the rain which fell until about 12.30 p.m. However, the af- ternoon was warm and bright and thoroughly enjoyed. Veterans of tiie two World Wars formed up for the parade on Durham street and. marching to the cemetery decorated the graves and plots of those who have passed on since the first war and the family plots ot those killed overseas. At the same time the day was observed as decor- ation day at the cemetery and many placed flowers on the graves of de- parted loved ones- Following this the veterans paraded to Memorial Park and formed in front of the pav- ilion, with the flags of the visiting Legions being placed in a command- ing position therein- Three Bus Routes To Transport Pupils To School I Canadian Pioneer Had House Building Problem The Flesherton - Artemesia High School Board has let tendert to F- Taylor.

"Ever had a seriouS illness? asked the doctor. "No." was the reply. "E5ver >r^ an accident?" "No." "Never had a single accident in your life?"

Flesherton took the first game of the best-in-five series from Dundalk 9^ Tuesday evening in the finals of the Centre Grey Softball League. Flesherton led 2-1 up to the last half of the fifth inning when Banks and McTavish scored on G- Boyd^ double, thereby taking the lead after Springgay had opened the scoring for Dundalk in the first- A bar- age of double hits by H- Best. Phillips, Betts and Cairns in the fifth counted for four runS to make a safe lead for the locals end when the inn- ing finished R- Best and Banks were left on bases. In the sixth McKenzic tallied for Dundalk and Haw and Go- heen in the seventh, bringing the visitors within three runS of Flesh- iton, making the last counters they secured, while Flesrherton went ahe«d and added one in the seventh by Don Banks, while H- Best and Phillips' Scored on Betts' double to right fleild.. The rule Wook had to be brought into play in the seventh when H. Best was running for C. McTavisih- He was on third when his turn to bat came around and when he was unable to appear at the plate he was declar- ed the third out and the side waS re- tired. We don't believe that we ever heard of a like occurrence, but the rules governed this decision. This series should be an interesting one and a large crowd waS delighted with the brand of ball played, as some nice fielding and throwing was dis- played. McKenzie pitched for tht visitors and Dargarvel for Flesherton. Mel Buchanan of Vandeleur umjpired at the plate and G*o. Sled of Fever- sham on the bases and gave good satisfaction.

He sti-essed the point that while we now have peace we must ever be on our guard against complacency and be prepared to meet any threatened danger. C^omrade McC.auley then gave a short address relating the reason why the colors were needed and expresSed his pleas- ure in presenting the fags- Comrade Major J.

Alfred Odell. Snr., South Line, when seven members of their family were present, as follows: Mr. and Mrs. Hornsby (Callie) of Toronto; Mrs- Tromanhauser (Ethel) of Chat- ham; Mr- and Mrs. Keffer (W'inni- fred) of Concord; Mr. and Mrs. Hig- gfnson (Doris) of \ewmarket; Mr and Mrs. .\lfred Odell and Mr. and Mrs. Ajbert Odell- Priceville- and Bob Odell of Toronto- Mr. and Mrs Donald Odell from Quebec were un- able to attend. Fifteen grandchild- ren were among those present. The family presented a gift to their father and mother, and one was a^su received from the grandchildren. Two enjoyable days were spent at the family home. The summer months see much ac- tivity in the building trade, though not nearly enough to supply the needa of our communities today- The feats of our pioneer ancestors in Ontario, who hewed their homes out of the forest with the simplest of tools are all the more remarkable in view of present difficulties- It is a far cry to the log shanty which constituted the first home ia the early days. The pioneer models of Mr. J- McCrea in the Royal Ontar- io Museum abdy demonstrate the pro- gression frojn the rounded log to the forei-unner of the modem plank. In the first Shanty, notched pine logs were used, the spaces between being filled with moss, bark or clay. No nails or screwS were available and the roofs were of shooks. bark, or were 'scoop' roofs, formed of basrti- wood logs split in two. hallowed out and laid concave and convex. NeitlMr were iron hinges to be had- Hinges in those days were square pieces 0/ wood, through a centre ho'e of which went a long pin. Models demonstrat- ing squaring or "making" tin»ber and shingle making show the pro- gress to the time when a 'settlement has grown up and a Schooihouse is being built. Improved technique is evident; for the logs are flattened on the inside and outside and the space filled with wood and lime mortar. The rOof has been shingled and an un- finished portion showS a board lath and plaster eeiling- From these beginnings have sprung the neat cottages and pleasantly hos- pitable larger frame houses of today.

Spring- 1 Maxwell, Proton Station and Price- The weekly press of Canada is by far the moSt important fector unify- ing influence in the country and is. without doubt, mohe carefully read and considered than other publica- tions. The Rosetown Eagle of Sas- katchewan is to be commended for the campaigm it is now running. urging Canadians to think of fellow Canadians of foreign birth or ex- traction as fellow citizens. "Many people are Sick of heai-ing all about 'racial unity in Canada'. We think it is high time that Can- adians quit talking about it and do something We are convinced that unless we do, the results wiil not bt insignificant." In another issue the Eagle made special reference to our fellow citi- zens of Ukranian descent. "The Ukranians of this province are on record as a splendid example for the rest of Canada to follow." said the enterprising Saskatchewan weekly.
