Immediately after March 26th, 1942, the assets of the said deceased will be distributed among the parties entitled thereto, having regard only to claims of which the solicitors shall then have notice, / Dated at Port Perry, Ontario, this 26th day of February, 1942, HARRIS, HARRIS & WALLACE, Port Perry, Ontario, Solicitors for the Executors. ---- New Telephone Directory Featured by a green cover of some- what different design, Port Perry's new telephone directory is being de- livered to local subscribers. Since there are more than 5,700 new and changed listings in the alphabet- ical scction alone, the importance of consulting the new book carefully-be- fore placing calls is obvious, if the "wrong number" Ais Js to be avoided, | The old directory should be dis- carded promptly, and it has been sug- gested that it be included with other paper to be contributed to the national salvage campaign. In order further to assist in conserving paper, those who are moving should not forget to take their telephone directories with them, instead of obtaining a new one. As a contribution to the war effort, The Bell Telephone Company has donated space in all its directories to War Savings campaigns, and the Port Perry book bears- a message on the back cover urging the purchase of more stainps "and certificates, which are on sale -at all Bell Telephone offices. It is interesting to note that the Dominion Post Office collects well over $10,000 a year for delivering the directories of The Bell Telephone Co. of Canada. In the largest cities, books are distributed by messenger, but all "the smaller deliveries are made by his Majesty's mail. i every ore of Canada's new army of wage-earners saves more, the country's effort toward winning the war will be greatly helped.

Many of these products are getting scarce because they come from over- seas. Other materials are scarce be- cause they are useful in war indus- tries, or because the factories in which they were made have been con- verted to war uses. Some products which are plentiful may be in greater demand than usual because they can replace those which have. become scarce. Another reason for the short- age of supplies may be a scarcity of shipping space, both by water and by rail as the heavy traffic of munitions of war interferes with the normal movement of civilian supplies. Manufacturers : and suppliers" of to" anticipate the season's require- ments, and the Agricultural Supplies Board believe that reasonable stocks of such chemicals are on hand. If farmers will lay in ahead of time sup- plies of sprays and dusts for all pur- poses, chemicals for seed treatments, and disinfectants, they will help the merchants to avoid last-minute short- ages. : 2 The advantage of early purchase is that it enables local merchants to send to their dealers or jobbers fresh orders so that their shelves may be restocked. - Jobbers and dealers can pass orders on to the manufacturers and give him a chance to ask," where necessary, for priorities to manufac- ture products for agricultural pur- poses.
