THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, JUNE 28th, 1945 SERIOUS SHORTAGE OF FIREWOOD Ottawa--Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick are faced with a serious shortage of firewood for next winter, Munitions Minister Howe warned recently. The Minister appealed to all municipalities in wood-burning areas to canvass their own local situation and make all necessary arrangements for sufficient production. He said that farmers and other fuelwood producers should cut as much as possible during the balance of this spring and in the early summer. "We are faced with a situation similar to that of two years ago," said Mr. Howe. "Because of the continuing shortage of labour, and because early snows shortened the normal winter cutting season, in many sections not more than half as much firewood was cut as in the previous winter. Yet in the previous winter of 1943-44, the finest cutting season in 70 years ,the output was below normal. "The shortage can be overcome and distress avoided only if fuelwood producers cut as much as possible in the next few weeks/' CLOTHES CHEAPER IN CANADA MILITARY CALL-UP-NEW PROCEDURE Before the war many Canadian women bought clothes every time they crossed the TJ. S. border because they could get up to the minute fashions and save a few dollars on them. Now the situations is reversed. A New York designer, who recently visited Canada, said he was amazed at Canadian Prices. "If it wasn't for the tariff, I'd stop designing and become a jobber. I'd buy my suits here and sell them in the States. I've seen some beautiful new spring suits here, costing less than half what we'd charge for them." Just another of our friends from U. S.A. who marvels at the success of Canadian price control. ' Buy more War Savings Stamps!

A PURELY CANADIAN CAMPAIGN Subscribers who have been reading the series of advertisements published in The Express by the Brewing Industry of Canada, will have been impressed with the service the Industry is rendering to the welfare of Canadian people. A regulation of the Dominion Government pro hibits the Brewing Industry from advertising their products, but permission was given them to us space to promote patriotic endeavours, and for many months the Industry the course outlined in their advertisements. The main object of the campaign is to protect Canadians against the danger o finffation. They have presented a series of arguments which illustrate in an effective way what it will mean if there is a "buying spree." The scarcity of goods will induce advanced prices of uncontrolled commodities and reduce the value of the dollar, which will eventually affect every citizen reducing the value of his holdings and bringing rui its wake. The Industry is endeavouring to educate the masses on the subject of inflation, and asks every citizen pledge that he will practice economy and fight inflation as a duty to himself and to Canada. An appeal is also made that purchasers will not deal in black markets, but will observe price controls and purchase only the things absolutely necessary. In no better way can these vital national principles be observe than that every dollar find its way into Victory Bonds and War Savings Certificates. By this means the public can avoid the terrible consequences of inflation and rended to Canada lasting service. The Brewing Industry of Canada is sen a splendid example in playing the spirit of atriotism and their extensive camaign against flation has earned the gratitude of all Canadian people.
