The fees charged in Ontario are still lower than in any other province of Canada or in the neighbouring states. Ontario‘s highway system is the largest in the Dominion, and for the very reasonable fees, indicated above, a great highway system comprising over 20,000 miles is maintained and made available to the motorists of Ontario and visitors from other parts of America. The revenue collected from motorists by way of registration and license fees and the gasoline tax has made possible the construcâ€" tion and maintenance of this great system of highways. For the convenience of motorists, permits and licenses are issued through the offices of 189 agents located throughout the Province.

All ranks of the C.A.S.F. proceed-l ing on leave during Christmas or New Year‘s wil be able to secure a return ticket to their destination at the cost of oneâ€"way fare. The duraâ€" tion of the leave will be six days andl no more than 50 cent. of the strength of any unit, in any rank will be per-; mitted to be away at one time. The| Defence Department expressly stipâ€" ulates that whether leave can be gâ€"anted will depend in all cases on the nature of the service being underâ€" taken â€" by the man concemedl the direct necessity of â€" having certain types of training completed‘ speedily, and the importance of the‘ service from the point of view of the: defence of Canada and of war conâ€" ditions generally. The Department adds: ‘‘The guiding factor in the considâ€" eration of leave privileges to men on Active Service must be the deâ€" fence and safety of the country and the obligations we are under by virâ€" tue of our war commitments. These have been duly weighed and fully disâ€" cussed and their influence is to be lobse_rved in the decision now comâ€" municated.‘ ONEâ€"WAY FARE FOR CHRISTMAS OR $ 8.40 10.50 10.15 TORONTO I{l}g flurfium Aevirw *AMTAIN‘S INDUSTRIAL CAPACITY (St. John Teiegraphâ€"Journal) Recently announced figuzes of Unitâ€" ed Kingdom trade contain encouragâ€" ing news. For the first seven months of the present year, in spite of exâ€" traordinary demands at home, and the threat of enemy action of the high seas, Great Britain not only maintained her position as a great exporter, but actually increased by some 10.000.000 pounds the total of her manufactured goods shipped aâ€" broad during the Januaryâ€"July periâ€" od, as compared with same period in 1939. Total exports for the seven months aggregated 225,000,000 pounds. Naturally the character of the goods exports has changed from the preâ€"war years. There is an almost inexbaustible domestic demand for machinery, ships and aircraft. Offsetâ€" ting declines in exports of this naâ€" ture been increases in the shipment of pottery, electrical goods, chemicals and dyestuffs, and manufactured texâ€" tiles.. With the greater part of the Euroâ€" ocean market closed to her, Britain was obliged to find other fields for the placing of her exportable sunplus, so larger quantities of British manuâ€" factures are now being sold in Canada, and also in the United States and Latin America. Canada‘s imports from the Motherland for the eisht months ended with August, 1940, show a total value of $105,000,« 000, or thirtyâ€"six peicent more than in the same period in 1939. The prinâ€" cipal increases include: Pottery, up £$1,000,000; electrical apparatus, up $500,000; chemicals, up $500,000 and textiles, up $13,000,000. Textiles acâ€" counted for forty per cent of the total British imports during the eightâ€"month period, compared with thirtyâ€"six per cent in 1939. When it is considered that every factory in Britain which can do so is busy turning out military sup» plies, the remarkable increase in the the volume of the nation‘s exports is undeniable evidence ofi Britain‘s great industrial strength, as well as of her continued _ command of the Oceans‘ channels of commerce.
