"I went there this morning and asked them, ‘Have you enough gasoline to supply a book for each car in existence in Torontoâ€"so that it is right for me to go and buy one or more additional cars?" The man I saw said, ‘You can have a book for every car you own indefinitely, but one should save gas "The first week the Government called for voluntary reduction in the use of gasoline we sold our big car and only kept the little one. Now what has happened! I bought my Class ‘A‘ ration book, allowing 60 units of gaso_ line a year for the use of a family of seven people. But next me in Cine was a friend who has four cars for her own use. She told me quite frankly that she would be able to use a difâ€" ferent car each dayâ€"and that the Govâ€" ernment must approve or they wouldn‘t sell her four ration books! And she is only one of many I know. In his column in The Toronto Tele,_ grame Thomas Richard Henry touches on one of the absurdities of the present plan of gasoline rationing. There are other inequalities and injustices which may be ironed out as the facts become apparent. Here is the one case, as Thomas Richard Henry details it:â€" Two Car People "Mother of Five" writes ‘"My husband is a Scot and loathes publicityâ€"also he is well known in Toronto, so for the first time in my life I‘m writing an anonymous letter! Now, here‘s my story: One of the Absurdities of Gasoline Rationing Labour men in Timmins and Hamilâ€" ton having called the attention of the Attorneyâ€"General to the case at Sudâ€" bury where the C: I. O. office was wrecked and two officials beaten up, a thorough investigation was ordered. Inspector Lougheed reported to the Attorneyâ€"General that the sudbury police did all possible to bring the guilty parties to justice, but were hanâ€" dicapped by the C. I. O. officials who withheld vital information. Although promising to give further information the officials left .the city without doing so or without laying charges, though they told police that they knew the guilty parties. The police had not sufficient evidence to present any case in court. The whole proced@ure sugâ€" gests the plausibility of the theory of the police at the start that the whole affair was a game arranged to win sym_ pathy for the I. O. officials. The officials left the city without cleaning up the mess into which the C. I. 0. office was thrown, furniture being broken and thrown around and docu_ ments and books scattered all over.

He was married in 1884 to the former Miss C. Genereau, who predeceased him in 1927. Fiftyâ€"eight years ago, the late Mr. Lamothe came to Mattawa where he was captain of the first boat to run between Mattawa and Temiskaming on the Ottawa River.

Recently there have been persistent rumors of | illegalities planned by the paraders and | the police were prepared for any eventâ€" ualities. At three o‘clock the paraders, ‘who had assembled in the Finn hall, marched out on the street with banners !and placards. _ The police were preâ€" pared to deal with such a situation and the paraders had only gone a few 'hundred yards when the police cars ‘overtook and passed the parade.
