The War Savings Campaign The \\"ar Savings Certificate drive is dratving to a close, but there is still opportunity for all our citizens to p:1rlicip:1te in this patriotic and very IICCC:HII‘_\' campaign. 'I‘he campaign opened in this Province on (Jet. 1.1, with the object of increasing the purchase of Certificates tn the amount of a11pr11xa11;111~l_v $30,000 per month. or enough to provide 111111 ;111ti1.'1i1'c1'aft gun monthly to the national ivar effort. \\'ar Savings Certificates. the face value of which is 25 pcr cent grcatcr than the cost price, were specially mtrndticc-rl for the benefit of wage earners and sinall-incniiie taxpayers. Those who have Hll‘€.'1rl_\' taken atlvantagc of this op- portunity are urged to consider whether they cannot increase, by a dollar or two, their month- ly subscription In no department of our war effort are the stantlnrrls nf ln<t year good enough for those of 1l1i< year. t"a11:11la's war lutdget has increased in that tinue frrnn a billion dollars to two and one-half billion (lmlars. Every dollar of war savings irlvcstlncnts is nccdcd, and if these are not forthcoming in sufficient quantity. the only l't*(jtllll'>t is to higher, and still higher, taxation.

"And active units also," said .\Iaj0r Power, “the necessity of reinforcing active units." Mr. I-lanson pointed out that in British, Columbia where there were more Non-Permanent Active Militia units than i11 other provinces that province would be called 11111111 to produce a greater tiuinbcr of recruits.

George Drew, Ontario Conservative leader, told tlic Winnipeg Civic Employees’ War Veterans Association that Canada has not the "trained men either in England or in Canada to fill the ranks of our units if the Canadian Corps should suffer heavy casualties in a major en- gagement." Stressing the need for more man- power on active service, he said that the need for a large number of men for the army must be faced with courage, and it mttst be faced without delay. "Unless large numbers of new recruits become available innnctliatcly it will be necessary to disband some of the units now or- ganized for war.” n1 n1 n1 n1 Oil which started leaving Portland, Maine. November 5, through the new 236-mile pipeline to Montreal, crossed the international boundary into Canada on Saturday 15th. and reached its Montreal destination at 2 o'clcok Sunday morn- 111g. Speed of the oil flow is at about one mile an hour, this reduced momentum being due to the facttliat only four of the eight pumping stations are 1n_ operation. When all the pumping stations are functioning, the flow will be at three miles an hour. Oil is now flowing into Canada by pipe- line from the United Slates at two different points along the international boundary. The ‘first of such pipelines across the border was laid 1n the Clair river between Sarnia and Port lluron m I913, and its completion was rushed as a ‘war measure when llic world was locked in conflict moretban a quarter of a century ago.

That ls the sharp restriction Im- posed on retail credit. Certain types of charge account have for many years “en a bead- ache to credit managers. They are the accounts of families who are so prominent; In their communnles that the stores laestltaw to sue them or even to press them for pay- rgent, because of the loss of good- will that. would follow anv ener- getic attempt at collection. For the same reason the stores are afraid to cut off credit privileges. The ac- counts are allowed to increase while the carefree debtors flourish like the green baytree. Now the Wartime Prloes and Trade Board has ruled that ‘.1’ any charge accounts ls more than 'en cl."';s in arrears no funlter mer- chandise may be charged to the ac- count untl] the arrears are settled.
