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 jobbei I'd buy my suits here and sell them in the States. I've seen some beautiful new spring suits here, costing less th-n half what we'd charge for them." ""TUbF another of our friends from U. S.A. who marvels at the success of Canadian price control.

Toronto, October 5, 1945--When beaver dam broke, a creek already swollen by heavy September overflowed and caused a wash-out on the C.P.R. line nineteen miles west of Schreiber, Ontario. As a result there was a train wreck. No one injured, but it resulted in holding up three troop trains going from the East to Vancouver. Returning sei men and personnel of the British Navy who were going to Vancouver to pick up a boat built there, were detained in Schreiber for 24 hours. Red Cross immediately set about to make these 24 hours enjoyable and comfortable for the unexpected visitors. Under the supervision of welfare convener, Mrs. W. R. Black, the basement of the town hall was cured, quickly furnished with tables and chairs and the kitchen stocked up with groceries. Cards and reading material were provided, and the Red Cross ladies served coffee and lunches from , morning until nighl when the trains resumed their interrupted journey. "There was music and dancing and good entertainment, said Mr. Reid, president of the Red Cross Branch. "Everyone in Schreibe took part and helped Red Cross tertain the visitors.

Canada's Department of Agriculture has been undergoing a barrage, from Canadian soldiers stationed in the Netherlands and has had to call in army reinforcements to cope with it. The situation became drastic when the department had to examine more than 1,000,000 tulip bulbs sent by thoughtful soldiers to friends and relatives in Canada. Every one had to be inspected for disease and insects. Now the army is helping, and the tulip front has been restored to relative quiet. Out-of-work benefits are included in Canada's re-establishment machinery for former armed forces members. DON'T DELAY ORDERS FOR FERTILIZERS Though the war is over there is not much possibility of improvement in connection with the supply and delivery of fertilizer materials for some time to come, the Dominion Department of Agriculture has announced. With a very heavy demand for fertilizers in Canada, the United States, and from some European countries which must increase food production in order to overcome the serious shortages, the supply is below what is required. At the same time che shortage of box cars is acute. Meanwhile, fertilizer manufacturers tn Canada continue to receive their materials in monthly shipments and to keep the plants operating at capacity the finished product must move out from the plants to farmers as quickly All this means that again this year farmers are urged to place their orders for whatever fertilizers they will require for 1946 as soon as possible, and be ready to take delivery during the months of November, December and January. If a lot of fertilizer is not moved during those months, manufacturers will be unable to meet the demand next year. The Department says that a farmer can keep most fertilizers indefinitely in fair condition providing they are stored in a dry cool place, not over a stable or on a cement floor.

THE COLBORNE EXPRESS Farmers Can Buy Victory Bonds On Convenient Deferred Payments Through Any Bank ... just sign a short form letter which Victory Loan Salesmen carry (banks have copies) ordering the Bank to buy Victory Bonds for you. Pay 5% when ordering and the balance at any time during the next 12 months. The interest the bonds earn pays the interest on the bank loan. Victory Loans have provided an excellent means of helping the \-aar effort, at the same time contributing to our own personal welfare. Canada needs more money now ... to make loans to foreign countries so that they can establish credits which will enable them to buy food and other things which they require. This food will come from Canadian farms; these goods from Canadian factories. When we help to create markets for our farm produce abroad . . . and when we help to keep Canadian factories busy . . . we help to maintain good prices for the things that Canadian farms produce. Victory Bonds also provide a reserve fund of working capital for our own use ... so handy to have so many times. Any bank will buy Victory Bonds at any time, or loan money on Victory Bonds if we need cash. . . . and for our future plans, we'll have the money required for things we want to do . . . Get ready to buy more Victory Bonds this Fall. Buy double this time -- the same rate of savings as in previous loans will pay for twice as many bonds over the 12 month period.
