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.

Molson B-A OIL PURCHASE UNION OIL COMPANY OF CANADA Purchase of the business and the physical assets of The Union Oil Company of Canada by The British Oil Company Limited was anonunced on Wednesday by W. K. Whiteford, President of British American Oil. Union Oil of Canada is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Union Oil of California and has been one of the large marketers of petroleum products in British Columbia and Alberta. In addition to its retail outlets and distribution, Union Oil has tensive marine bunkering and storage facilities located in Vancouver harbour. In Vancouver to complete the deal with Union Oil Campany officials an A. H. Miller, Vice-President in chargi of sales of The British American Oil Company, J. C. Hall, Regional Sales Manager, Western Region, of B-A Oil. By the Deal B-A Oil extends it marketing activities from coast to coast and the added volume of business accruing to B-A through the acquisition of Union Oil outlets will establish British American Oil as the leading independent Canadian marketer of petroleum products in B.C.-- a position the Company enjoys throughout the rest of Canada. It is understood that all former employees of Union Oil of Canada have been invited to join the staff of British American Oil. Interwiewed yesterday, A. H. Mil-ley stated the expansion of British American Oil to the West coast implements one phase of the Company's post-war plans. The large marine terminal storage and excellent harbor facilities now afforded British American Oil will place the Company in a position to actively participate in the export market which the Company anticipates will countinue to develop. Organized under Charter in 1906 as an independent Canadian Company, British American Oil in 190S took out a Dominion Charter and expanded into the Quebec area. Through purchase of the Winnipeg Oil Company in 1920, the Company entered the Prairie Provinces, and, in 1934 started to move into B.C., consolidating its position as far westward as the East Kootenays and Okanagan Valley before wartime controls put a stop to further expansion. The Company had entered the Maritimes in 1935 and only the war interfered with the further expansion and rapid growth of the Campany in this territory. British American Oil is a completely integrated Company owning its own crude oil wells, gathering and pipe lines, refineries, mark inland bulk storage and marketing facilities. Crude oil is processed in five refineries located at Montreal, Toronto, Clarkson, Moose Jaw and Calgary. The Clarkson Refinery, opened in the fall of 1943 for" the manufacture of aviation gasoline and lubricating oils, is regarded as the most modern and completely integrated lubricating oil refinery in the Dominion. Miller stated that British American Oil does not contemplate immediate construction of a refinery at Vancouver. Union Oil products have long been recognized for quality and arrangements have been made with Union Oil of California whereby that Company will manufacture in its new catalytic cracking process plant at Wilmington, California, the finest of crudes to B-A's particular specifications. In addition to its own famous line of brand products B-A intends to continue marketing Triton Motor Oil and other first line Union Oil brand products through its newly acquired British Columbia outlets. For the convenience of the Canadian motorist, British American Oil offers credit facilities to motorists travelling anywhere in Canada and the United States, the latter made possible through a credit card exchange with the Gulf Oil Company, Mid-Continental Petroleum Corporation of Tulsa, Okla., and the Union Oil Company of California. According to the Company's latest financial statement which cover* operations for the year 1944, British American Oil Company's assets are excess of $67,000,000. Issued capital stock consists of 2,772,642 shares owned by approximately 19,000 shareholders living in every province of the Dominion. WHERE'S THE LABEL? Ladies, keep your labels.

This was what a Prairie woman said at an Institute meeting last week. Below are a few answers, not only for her but for every housewife in Canada. There are 100 million people in Europe who are in imminent danger of starving, unless we send food to them. These people are not just plain hungry . . . many are dying of starvation. Forty-eight thousand acres of the best land in Holland was flooded just 17 days before the German surrender. This means that 50 per cent of the country is under salt water, some of feet. deep. Starvation stares many Dutch people in the face . . . iless we send them food. Farm lands stretching from the very beaches of Normandy to Berlin vn with deadly mines to slow up the Allied advance. It will take len, working 10 years to de-mine France alone. That is a major reason why food is so very short there. This goes for almost every field in Poland, Belgium, Italy and in Germany itself. Coastal waters, from the tip jf Norway to Gibraltar, were also sown with mines to prevent invasion landings. This practically stopped the fishing trade. Mine sweepers have been working to clear these waters but it all takes time . . . and hunger won't wait. Because of the ravages of war, drought, lack of transportation, lack of fertilizers, insecticides and farm machinery, loss of stock and draft animals, Europe's food crop is likely to be the lowest of any year since the end of the first world war. A hundred million human beings are facing FAMINE . . . that's a mighty good answer ... don't you think so? Save all your waste paper, still urgently needed. It is CAN YOU SAFELY? QUICKLY? ...if not, you're ONLY A FOOT FROM TROUBLE Clear Vision -- Accurate Control -- Good Brakes--these are just a few of the factors essential to safe driving: The General Motors Dealer offers yon complete safety service -- experienced technicians to spot trouble quickly ;:: modern tools and equipment and factory-approved GM Parts S:. skilled mechanics ready to carry out all types of repair and maintenance work on all makes of cars and trucks: Phone 122 W.
