No life insurance company incorporated in Canada is required by the Order to sell any foreign C1111reney which it needs for the purpose of carry"' ing on its business outside Canada. T Unless exempted by the Order, every resident of Canada who, on May lst, 1940, has any foreign currency in his possession, ownership or control, whether in Canada or outside Canada, is required forthwith to sell such foreign currency to an Authorized Dealer (Le. a branch of a chartered bank) for payment in Canadian dollars at the official buying rate of the Foreign Exchange Control Board. "Foreign currency”, for the purposes of the Order, means any cur- rency (excluding coin) other than: Canadian currency and includes bank notes, postal notes, money orders, cheques, travellevs' cheques, prepaid let, ters of credit, bank drafts and other similar instruments payable in any currency other than Canadian currency, and also includes any amount in foreign currency of which a resident has a right to obtain payment by rea- sen of a deposit, credit or balance of any kind at or with a bank, savings bank, trust company, loan company, stockbroker, , investment dealer or other similar depository. The Order does not require the sale of any foreign securities, The Order does not affect any foreign currency, deposit or securities of any non-resident of Canada and for greater certainty the Order ex- presslrdeelares that a non-resident visiting Canada for business or pleas- ure for a period or periods not exceeding six months in the year continues to be a non-resident for the purposes of the Order unless such person enters or has entered Canada with the intention of becoming a permanent res1 en . T Under certain conditions stipulated in Section 1 (b) of the Order, a resident who is not a Canadian citizen may be granted exemption, but only after application for exemption is approved by the Board. Further particulars may be obtained from branches of chartered banks. Any resident who has any foreign currency in his possession, ownership or control on May 1st, 194(Lregardless oramotrnt, should con= suit his bank at once in order to ascertain the extent to which he is affected by the Order. I No resident is required to sell any foreign currency if he satisfies the Foreign Exchange Control Board that he held such foreign currency on May 1st, 1940, solely as trustee or agent for a non-resident and that the nonsresident's interest therein had not been acquired from a resident since September 15th, 1939, except in a manner approved by the Board, Priced From 1llllltllllilhlllllllMlil lllitlRlilrii1llllilllllii ANI ELECTRIC FOREIGN EXCHANGE ACQUISITION ORDER IMPORTANT NOTICE We will save you a substantial amount on the purchase of a 1939 Westinghouse Refrigerator, A few only left in stock, FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONTROL BOARD ottawa.-Aoertng's book, “Mak- ing of a Nation”, has been eonfis- cated in Russia at the request of the Ministry of Culture, on account of a passage in which the field marshall declares that the great decision for Germany, Europe and the whole world would be the con- flict between the Swastika and the Ottawa.-.Ah1 some M deep recon- naissance flights made by night by the Royal Air Force only four air- craft are known to have been lost through enemy action. 593.75 Tlie Only Refrigerator That B The temperature ot, food in the new Westinghouse Refrigerm tor, rather than the temperature of the frostér, governs the operation of TRUE TEMP control.

Westinghouse is Built in Canada By Canadians All Models Guaranteed 5 Years Tumparature Autesmatieatty TERMS AS LOW AS $1.00 PER WEEK To a Weston home on Monday' morning of this week there came a letter, it was from Private Fred Morriss who is somewhere in Eng- land to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. P. Morriss, 57 St. John's Road West, Weston. When Fred joined up with the Toronto Scottish on September 12th, 1939, just nine days after War was declared he was eighteen, and on the following day he celebrated his nineteenth birthday. A brother of Fred's, Alfred, is also in the army, but has not yet, gone overseas. These two Morriss boys were exceptionally well known around town, they were members of St. John's Anglican Church, Weston, and were employed at the Canadian Cycle and Motor on Duf- ferin Street East, Weston. They attended King Street Public School and Weston High School, where with their winning dispositions made many friends. Mr, and Mrs. Morriss have been kind enough to allow your local newspaper to reproduce the letter they received from Fred. It is sure- ly a great honor for one of Wes- ton's own sons to be chosen to guard the Palace of the Sovereign of the British Empire. There is no more that we need add, the letter is self explanatory. Dear Mom and Dad: A . How are you keeping? fine I hope. __ - _ I suppose by the time you receive this letter, you will have heard all about the Canadians on guard at the palace. l I was one of the Toronto Scot- tish chosen for guard, and at time of writing, I am on 7 hrs. leave, the first relief since taking over guard from the Royal 22nd Mont- feal Reg. Sunday, April 21st. After our relief from duty at St. James' palace, wetexpect to take our turn at Buckingham Palace, for the remainder of the guard, which is until Thursday, April 25th, at 10 a.m. We then change over with the Welsh guard. Boy were we ever nervous on our first guard shift, the people seemed to come up so close and 101k up into our faces. We sure are kept busy saluting these days, as we must salute every officer even if he is 50 yds. away. Fred Morriss Guards British King’s Palace I am writing this letter from the "Beaver Club", Piccadilly, where we came for dinner and bath while off duty. The bath was free and din- ner Is 2d. [ Oh yes, while I was on guard yesterday at Post No. 2 "Pall Mall St.", I had to give the "Royal Salute", to the Queen Mother, as she passed in her car; she was not expected in London, therefore it wa_s quite a surprise. _ A __ By the way I had quite a thrill last night; as we were resting on our beds, who should walk into the guard-house but England's pride That Mainta One of Weston's Own Boys Among Chosen From Toronto Scottish to Palace-Meets Anthony Eden OPEN EVENINGS April 23, 1940 TIMES AND GUIDE and joy, "Anthony Eden", with General MacNaughton. They pass- ed along to each bed, shaking hands and talking to 'he fellows; when they came to me, he shook hands with me and asked me, "How I liked England?"

He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. F.

Well Mother and Dad I must close now, and get some rest, as it is a very tiring job. Will write more as ggon af possible. Needed More Time Uncle Abner had been very much occupied all by himself in a corner of his cabin near the fireplace. He had been working industriously with a stub of a pencil and a piece of paper. Suddenly he looked up, a joyful expression on his wrinkled "Doggtme!" he shouted, "ef I ain't learned to write." Uncle Abner's lifemate, Aunt Melissa hurried across the room and looked Wonderingly at the scygvyled lines on the paper. - _ ."Blesg my soul, man, you done have learned to writer." she ex- claimed, "What do it say?” "I don't know," Uncle Abner re- plied.

This reminds me of an instance in the great River Clyde many years ago. A ship laden with sheep was nearing Glasgow harbour, when, startled, one of the sheep jumped overboard and ere they could be prevented, 600 of them were floundering in the Clyde.
