Smith, a Trans-Canada Air Lino^ pilot, has established a new record for a non-stop westbound flight from Britain to Montreal. The record flight was made by a big 4-engined -Lancaster transport operated by Trans-Canada Air Lines in the Canadian Government trans-Atlantic service. The elapsed time to fly the 3140 statute miles from take-off in Scotland to landing in Montreal was 12 hours and 59 minutes, bettering by 17 minutes the record established a week previously by Captain A Rankin, also a T.C.A. pilot. The plane carried 3,611 pounds of army mail, 425 pounds of frieight and four official passengers. Only half the pre-war quantity of matches is produced in Great Britain, j and they usually go to registered customers.

THE BRITISH PRINCESSES DIG FOR VICTORY Since the outbreak of War, Princess Elizabeth ami Princess Margaret have been digging for Victory in their allotments on the East Terrace of Windsor Castle. The East Terrace, which is about the size of a cricket field, was open to the public on certain days before the War. Visitors will remember the magnificent show of flower,, in beds laid out in a decorative pattern surrounding the central fountain. To-day, the vast area has been converted into a pattern of vegetables. Picture Shows--"What do you thing of that?" The Princesses are very proud of their tomatoes which they have grown out of doors on their own allotments. They were almost ready for gathering in July.

Col. Drew has already put a number of his promises into effect, and he has declared that steps are under way to put practically the whole 22 points of the platform on the statute books before the session is completed ■Carleton Place Canadian. The announce ment which George rew; Ontario's first ex-service premier, has made since his return from his recent visit to Britain, are such ss to commend the approval of all ax-servicemen and women and those ;n the forces. Indeed, all right-thinking Canadians .an regard his activities, totally apart from party affiilia tions, with considerable pride.--Mon treal Canadian Veteran. PLAN DISTRBUTION RATION BOOK No. 4 Plans for distribution of Ration Book No. 4 ara almost complete and local ration boards all over the coun-e preparing for the gigantic task of seeing that 12,000,000 Canadians get their books on time and good order. Although the actual distribution dates will vary in the | different municipalities, the whole J job will be accomplished during the week of March 26 to April 1. Accord -1 ingly it is important that consumers ! watch their local newspapers for the , announcement of the distribution I dates in their locality, i As in earlier campaigns, distribu-i tion is to be effected by means oi j centres opened strategically in differ-i ent cities, towns, villages and town-j | ships. The whereabouts of these centres will be advertised well in ad-1 vance of the opening of ine distribu-! tion. campaign. | MEAT RATION SUSPENDED I TO RELIEVE CONGESTION ! Temporary suspension of meat ra ; tioning, to relieve congestion in pack j ing houses, has been greeted will; | shouts of glee by -etailers and consumers alike. The surplus is due l~> ■ iack of shipping facilities to carry it j overseas, the Wartime Prices and ; Trade Board announced. It is expected rationing will be resumed i when the danger of wastage is gone : or when it apepars that local short ! pges may develop. During the sus-I pension farmers may slaughter for I =ale to any household j DON'T BUY DEPRESSION | CONSUMERS ARE WARNED Depression and bread lines follow in the wake of inflation, warned Controller Nora Frances Henderson ai the official opening of the Hamilton Public Library price control exhib't | recently. "Unnecessary buying threatens the : price ceiling which has been place;! j 1 on goods for the protection of con- | : sumers," said Controller Henderson. ! i "With a sohrtage of goods and an j I abnormally large volume of money in i circulation, we must all think twice I i oefore we spend." | I Wild buckwheat seed is the most | | common impurity in cereals, being j | abundant in Western grain. It con- ! j ctitutes a large percentage of the J week seeds occurring in elvator scre-| tnings. Wild buckwheat is considered ! rood feed, especially for poultry. When it comes to buying war j bonds, it's a fine idea to try keeping I ahead of the Joneses. Colborne H. S.
