THE VICIOUS CIRCLE In this' time when some of our people have attained sudden prosperity through greater pro- duction or steady employment, there come atten- dant dangers that may prove disastrous to per- sons whose incomes are fixed at a pre-war scale. These disastrous conditions may and are being brought about by two main means--happy uncon- sidered spending by those with plenty of money; flastuations in supplies of essentials in national «life, by / Gradually prices are rising because of unusual - living conditions. Automatically these rising prices create a demand for further higher wages and again highe? prices, and so the vicious circle continues, } The War Time Prices Board is making an effort to meet this situation, which can become very serious for the folk who are known as our .

L 3 LIE EE SE NATIONAL SALVAGE CAMPAIGN "The mails are full of admonitions to Canadians to save--to waste nothing. The good old days are over when we could do as we pleased; eat what we would, and throw what we did not want into the garbage pail or turn it over to a more . of less useless cat or dog. Now we must save. The particular emphasis that could be more profitably spent otherwise. A- Government bulletin on this matter says: If you live in a community in-which there is no municipal garbage collection or in. a community .in which the garbage €ollection system is not co-operating to save war salvage: ' (a) First let your municipal officers know that you feel that your community should be assisting * in the collection of war salvage. (b) If the municipal authorities do not under- take to collect salvage materials, find out whether one. of the war service -organiaztions in your community is doing so, and where surplus fats' and hones should be sent. (c) If neither the municipal authorities nor the war services or local salvage committee are col- lecting surplus fats and bones, organize a salvage committee among your friends. By so doing, you will hot only be materially assisting the war effort, buat 'you will be able to carn money for war charities by selling salvage collected. For further _- 'particulars write the National Salvage Office, Ottawa, clothing or footwear must sccure a license from the Wartime Prices and Trade Board by December 1st of this year. - © After that time, no unlicensed per- son or firm may buy for resale, handle, or sell any of those: commodities, More than 200,000 are affected by this vast plan to set up the machinery necessary for policing prices and for persons and firms will soon be display- nig on the door or window of their place of business the attractive gold and blue certificate which shows the public that they have obtained their wartime license, There is no licence fee.

Licence holders will be required to make reports if and when required by the Board, They must also notify the Director of Licensing in writing of any change in name, address, owner- ship or character of the business with- Hin 10 days of the change. Failure to do this, or failure to perform such other acts as may be required by the Board, will result in the suspenlion of the licence. The term "public cating place operator" applies not only to restaur- ant keepers, but also to railways, steamhsips, drug store and hotel pro- prictors if food is served in their places of business. Any person or firm who sells food, even if it is only chocolate bars, is subject to licence. If for example, a department or novelty store operates a cafeteria, lunch counter, soda bar, or dining room. the store should be listed on its licence application as operating a public eating place in addition to its classification as a retail merchant. Public eating places on the other hand, which sell some fruits, vegetables or groceries, will not be required to list themselves as retail merchants. But in the license application form, they must put a check mark opposite the various supplementary ' lines which they handle. no tunnels radiating from existing stations "Everywhere from the Shetland |Islands.to- Land's End, from Derry to the forward Observation Post at Dover, ; That is the foundation for "V".
