In the first eight days of the cam- paign alone Allied aircraft flew 56,000 sorties. Many thousands of oil-burn- ing warships and landing barges are shuttling ceaselessly across the Chan- nel.

But--there is only so much oil. If existing supplies are to prove adequate, the most stringent economy of gasoline and fuel oil must be prac- tised here at home. Canada is able to produce only 15% of her own gas and oil needs. The remainder must be imported from the common pool of the United Nations and the bulk of this is shipped here by tankers. Critical manpower is needed to produce our gasoline and A Message to Motorists "a . must be risked to deliver it to our shores. Invasions, and the difficulties of supply and transportation are not our only problems. Right here in Canada gas and oil are needed in enormous quantities for vital war purposes. The Commonwealth Air Training Plan has consumed as much as 548,000 gallons in a single day. Canada's Navy -- expanded since war began from 15 ships to 650--consumes over 2,150,000 gallons every week. Army training, war plant operation, food production, essential trucking -- all are huge consumers of gasoline and petroleum products. Gasoline is ammunition --ammu- nition of which we have all too little.

He will sell only 3 lbs, at a time, Is he allowed to do this? A.--You are entiled to one pound of sugar for each canning sugar coupon.
