Yet the friendships that make such a situation possible are the main ingredient of a happy life. And in consolidating these.friend- ships, the weekly newspaper be- comes 'an invaluable community asset. When the value of a weekly newspaper is taken for granted, townspeople are in danger of ov- erlooking one important fact. The service the newspaper. can ren- der is generally in proportion to the use made of it by - the resi- dents o! the district. It stays strong and vigorous only if it has the maximum number of paying subscribers and is adequately sup- ported by local advertising. Wise people take steps to keep an asset in a healthy condition. Newcastle BARRIE COLLEGIATE BAND DELIGHTS LOCAL AUDIENCE On Wednesday, April 24th, Newcastle was favored with a matinee concert by the Barrie Collegiate Symphony Band under the leadership of Mr. W. A. Fish- er, B.A. The band is comprised of 60 members aIl under 18 years of age and selected from the more than 600 in attendance at Barrie Collegiate. They are taught their instrument during sehool hours and only a few have had private instruction. The results of their work are unexcelled par excel- lence in Canada. They opened with the Bach chorale "Jesu, Joy o! Man's De- siring" and played it with youth- ful verve and lovely sustained tone. This was followed by the introductory remarks of their lea- der who explained the descriptive music of their second number "The Doyen Coach" by Charles Vinter, copyrighted 1946. The trumpet trio which opened this numben was played by Jack Clark Robert Hunter and Jack Wiseman and was executed brilliantly., The balance of the program, the only criticism of which was its bnevity, consisted o! Garufelt's Praludium, a masterpiece of in- tricate counterpoint, a coloratura soprano solo by Kiwanis festival prize winner Jearf Livingstone, followed by an encore, Lindy Lou; Sanis Angelicus by the band in canon form by Cesar Franck; the hit of the twenties "Halleluja" by Vincent Newman, a cacaphony o! juvenile exuberance, and the Don- key sound-effected. "On the Trail" by Ferde Grofe. Newcastle took the band to its heart, quite amazed and impress- ed with the high quality of taste1 and musicianship displayed. The Board o! Education was host at noon luncheon in the Newcastle hall. An evening performance in the fail has been promised and this, Newcastle, anticipates with eagerness. The public are indebted to Mrs. Douglas Irwin, ýupervisor of mu- sic of Newcastle schools for the great privilege o! hearing thîs ex- cellent band as it was through her interest and influence that the band stopped off at Newcastle a!- ter playing at Cobourg on Tues- day evening and on their way through by special bus to Tor- on where they played at Massey Hall on Wednesday evening. Information From Wartime Prices And Trade Board Increases in the ceiling prices of men's and boys' work cloth- ing have been granted to com- pensate manufacturers for in- creased cost of production as a re- sult of- the revocation of the cot- maintained until May lSth, War- time Prices and Trade Board stat- ed recently. From May l5th to June 6th the ration will be at the rate of 5 1-3 ounces per week and on June 6th it will be restored to 6 ounces per week. Valid dates for butter 'ration coupons will be as follows: May 2, May 16, May 23, June 6, June 13, and June 20. This means that one butter coupon, good for one- haîf pound o! butter, will fal due on each of these dates. Farm Machinery Increase After a careful survey of con- ditions governing the production of farm machinery, Wartime Pti- ces and Trade Board has allowed an increase of 12%k per cent in maximum retail price ceilings for Canadian made farma machinery and parts. The Board said the increase was permitted following an analysis of detailed information which clearly established that unavoid- able cost increases at the manu- !acturing level !ollowing the cess- ation of war production could no longer be met without an upward adjustment in price to the con- sumer. The increase should mean -that Campaign Against Insects Has Begun H UNDRDS of ldnds of destructive insecte which bave been dormant formonhsare becoming active and preparing to attack fana and garden crops, forests, stored products, man and animais. Entomologiste, Dominion and Provincial, are now ready with counter measures for control. The Dominion Dept. of .griculture's National Collection of Insects and ita associated library and laboratories has an essential part in the insect control erganization. ilt maintains the bureau of identifications and classification of insecte to assist the entomologist, the farmer, the gardener, the forester and the warehouseman. the production o! vitally needed farm implemènts would be step- ped up to the maximum under ex- isting matenial and labor condi- tions. It was pointed out by the Prices Board that, despite urgent repre- sentations by the industry, the pnice increases granted were less than hal! those requested. These pnices should become competitive with pnices o! similar pnoducts imported !rom the United States which have been free of war ex- change tax and customs duties since July 1, 1944. General categonies o! machines affected by the order are: Plant- ing, seeding and fertilizing mna- chinery; plows; tillage implements and cultivators; haying machin- ery; harvesting machinery; sun- dry machines for prepaning crops for market or use; farm power machinery; farm wagons, trucks and sleighs; dairy machines and equipment; spraying equipments and dusters; domestic water sys- tems and pumps; barn and barn- yard equipment; miscellaneous equipment. Frices Board Questions Q.-Is there a ceiling pnice on shrubs, hedges and evergneens? We ordered these things last July and now find prices elsewhere are cheaper. A.-The pnice o! plants, trees, shrubs and other nursery stock is exempt from Board regulations. ...It 19 very diff icult if not im- possible to fix maximum prices on products which depend on s0 many variable conditions such as weather, yield of products result- ing from the labor învolved, etc. Q.-Why is it that some o! the large dainies where butter is made cannot supply their regular cus- tomens when the nation becomes due, yet stores have always a good supply on hand? A.-Butter stocks are very low at the present time and frequent- ly retail stores as well as dainies are unable to supply their cus- tomers. It may be that you visit- ed a store where there was a good supply on hand, but at the same time there are many stores with very limited supplies. Q.-I have tried several times lately to buy stockings and at one store I know they had some in stock but would not seil to me. Are they alloWed to do this? A.--Yes. In Ontario the display of merchandise in a store does not necessarily obligate a retailer to seil. Conditional sales . . . that is when the merchant insists that you buy other merchandise in or- der to obtain something in short supply . . . are banned by the Board. Where there are periods of shortages, merchants are asked to distribute their merchandise as fairly as possible among their re- gular customers. Q.-Is there any restriction on selling a small house in one city and buying a larger one in anoth- er city? C. H.

A.-There are no WPTB regula- tions governing the sales of hou- ses. You are quite at liberty to sell your house and buy another at any time. We would. &uggest that before you purchpsè this lar- ger house you check carefully as to whether or not you can obtain possession.

Plan Extensive Worik Un Local District Wonk will shortly begin on an extensive telephone construction proj ect designed to meet the growing requirements of Bow- manville and vicinity. When completed it will be possible to connect up telephone services for nearly 100 families now waiting for a telephone in the urban and rural areas, according to T. R. Traynor, Bell Telephone Com- pany manager for this area. This project will be carnied on throughout the remainder of 1946 and, altogether, will involve the installation o! 13 miles o! un- derground telephone cables, 3 miles of cables on poles and some 20 miles o! new wires on poles to provide telephone connections on various tributary routes. Some o! the construction work will be done in Bowmanville, and a con- siderable amount will be done in areas to the north, towards Hamp- ton and Enniskillen. Addition o! these new facilities will also result in the removal of some 140 miles of wires now on poles on the main roads and will eut down substantially the risks of having service interrupted through storm damage. Improv- ed service for telephones in the farming district will also be pos- sible by increasing the number o! lines available and in many cases, by reducing the number of tele- phones on each line. While the construction work is proceeding additional equipment for the telephone exchange in Bowmanville will also be manu- factured and installed. This will make it possible to conneet up telephones in Bowmanville for a number of householders who are now waiting for more telephone numbers to become available. Some 1,350 telephones are now served by the Bow»manville tele- phone exchange and there are now about 25 per cent more than at the beginning of the late war. As this unprecedented demand for new service has coincided with shortages in the supply of tele- phone materials arising from the war, the telephone company has been hard-pressed to meet the public's many requirements. The Bell Telephone Company of Canada operating in Ontanio and Quebec, now has more telephones in service than ever before and the total is well over a million. There was a gain of more than 62,000 in 1945, alone, and there are still some 74,000 applicants on the waiting list for service. The Rehabilitation Information Committee, in co-operation with the National Film Board, has pre- pared a catalogue of available films on rehabilitation.

Since the days of Izaak Walton the joys of angling have captured the hearts of many men, aind we in Canada have been endowed with a stock of fightinq fish u.nparaileled ini the world. But by our very enthusiasm we have endtangered the sport we love. Many waters which formerly teemed with fish are now barren. Many species have vanizhed entirely from their old haunts. Our govern.ments, both Provincial and Fedieral, have instituted restocking programmes, built fish hatcheries, and passed laws for the protection of game fish, but without wholehearted and active public support, mainly ini the observance cf daily catch limits, these measures wiil fail. Conservation is not just a doctrine to be preached to hunters and fishermen.
