premier dvevs original letter of may 22 setting forth reasons why tie believed that the orderwhich limited the provinces oistributlon of liquor to 70 per cent of the amount sold in the year nded oct 3l 1912 should be rescinded and the reply was tab led on the application of proxresttlve conservative house leader graydon the day the oarrespondenoe was tabled bewenue minister gibson told the house that the nestrlotlons were not imposed because of a shortage in supply but to assure a total war effort premier dres had stated that beverage alcohol has been and is be ing manufactured in osnsda in large quantities in regard to a reference by thm ontario premier to quebecs monthly ration of 80 ounces col gib son said there was no puscrimlnstion in the treatment of ontario and que bec in the matter of liquor supplies of thm quebec ration mr drew had said that m may be some good explanation for this striking contrast in the ration but there can bf no doubt of the 4ffect of this situ ation upon the minds of those who oomit hi contact with it if each pro vince is called upon to askumo re sponsibility for the total amount available tuch a difference bicomes u question of purely local concern co gibson said an obvious reason for the dlhcrvpancy in ration between the two provinces was the number of permits in january 1943 when on tarios monthly ration was ico ounces tjur urftre 155295 permits isuied in the nrovlnre in march 1944 there uerel2h293t permits one man re cently van prosecuted for having 3 permits x dont know he added how many permits are outstanding in on tario at

far short of the total amount consumed by the people of canada at the same time reserve stocks of potable spirits in the ware houses 4h canada on march 31 of this year were higher than on the came

beard no smashed thumb there are two ways to hammer nail says an experienced farmer one way leads to a smashed thumb the other to the insertion of the nail without trouble the correct w ay is to hold a nail with the thumb and forefinger near the head of the nail and if the nail sllpsu allows the fingers time to get out of the way the wrong way is to support the forefinger this results in an in jured thumb because the thumb and nail at the base with the thumb and forefinger are held more or less stat ionary even after the nail has fallen and the hammer descends to smash them tax notice1944
