CAMPERS BEWARE OF POISON IVY In the comprehensive arrangements of the Canadian authorities for the training and welfare of the fighting forces, the evil effect of poison ivy was not overlooked. Of all skin-irritant plants in North America, poison ivy is one of the worst. It grows under a variety ot aonditions, wet or dry, shaded or exposed ,and in any soil from pure mtA er rocky ground to rich woods or Mis. It is often plentiful in stretches of unoccupied land. But because poison ivy is prevalent on shores and rocky situations especially by wooded lakes and highland regions so attractive, to campers and summer cottagers, the danger of poisoning should always be borne in mind, for the simple reason that in these out-of-the-way places it is difficult to get rid of the plant. Full description of the plant and its several different habits of growth, together with information on treatment after contact are given in Circular 574 "Poison Ivy," which may be obtained by writing to Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. RATION CARDS FOR AMERICAN TOURISTS American tourists are entitled t-i the same ration allowances as are provided for Canadian citizens. Visitors to Canada should apply to the Local Ration Board immediately upon arrival at their destination. They will be given an application form, and on completion of this will obtain a temporary ration card. Temporary ration cards are issued to visitors who remain in Canada for five days or more. Should the visitor be going to an isolated part of the country where there is no local ration board they may obtain the application form at the port of entry into Canada. This torm may then be mailed to the nearest office of the Board. NAVAL FUELS "V^THEN war demands have been filled ... when invasion gasoline, aviation gasoline, Navy fuel oil, petroleum for the manufacture of explosives, synthetic rubber, and gasoline for war industry, farming and essential trucking all have been taken from Canada's oil supply -- it doesn't leave a lot for the civilian! Figure it out for yourself. It takes 5,250,000 gallons of gasoline to fuel 5,000 bombers and fighters for a mission over Germany. It takes enough oil for one fueling of a battleship to heat an average house for 350 years. It takes 18,000 gallons of gasoline to keep one armoured division on the move for one hour. From petroleum and petroleum gases we obtain the gasoline and fuels needed to power planes and ships and tanks as well as the raw material for acetone, ammonia and toluol for explosives, organic chemicals for anaesthetics, naphthas for camouflage paints and plastics and resins for war weapons production. This is why civilian gasoline is short. This is why it's up to every motorist, to every owner of an oil-heated home, GAS The Department of Munition* and Supply, Honourable C. D. r to exercise the strictest economy in gasoline or fuel oil usage. Every gallon we can do without h#re at home is one gallon more for the fighting men. And they need every gallon y can get. Two full years of gasoline rationing and fuel oil control in Canada have saved 393,000,000 gallons of gasoline and 175 million gallons of fuel oil -- a total saving of 568,000,000 gallons of petroleum products. Yet, despite this saving, gasoline stocks on hand in Canada, as of March 31st, this year, were 55,000,000 gallons less than at the commencement of rationing, April 1, 1942. Oil has a mighty war job to do -- yet supplies are short and are constantly dwindling. Oil powers the attack on every front. Oil can mean the difference between success or failure, between light casualty lists and heavy. Oil is vital ammunition -- not to be wasted, not to be needlessly, frivolously spent. Answering Your Questions about the Gasoline Shortage What are Canada's total yearly re- Approximately 800,000,000 gallons. Do these requirements have to cover both military and civilian needs' . . . Yes. Why cannot this supply be increased? . . . Because total hemispheric supplies are inadequate to meet both the colossal war demand and civilian needs. There is not enough oil, there are not enough tankers, for both. How much of Canada's petroleum needs is supplied from Canadian wells? .... Only 15% Why can't this home production be increased? .. . Every effort is being made to do so. More new wells are being drilled or prepared for drilling, than at any time in the history of Western Canada, but we have yet to find a new Turner Valley. War does not wait for new production.
