Bennett, West Hill, was fined $50 and costs or one month by Magistrate Frank S. Ebbs in police court here today after pleading not guilty to a careless driving charge. Bennett, according to evidence, drove into the rear of an automo- bile driven by John Funston, Ajax, at the Rouge Hill section of No. 2 Highway on October 8. Funston told the court that he was driving west at about 7.15 p.m. on the night in question had cross- ed the bridge and was at the brow of the hill when 'suddenly there was a great big bang." He said he thought the gas tank had blown up at first but when his car stopped on the south shoulder of the road, he realized that another vehicle had struck him from behind. Fun- ston estimated the damage to his car at "nearly $150." Provincial Constable F. N. Link- later testified his = investigation showed that the tail light of Fun- ston's car was still burning ever af- ter the impact although accused swore that he did not see it. Ben- nett's argument was that oncoming traffic lights had prevented him from seeing the car ahead. "I was proceeding at 50 miles an hour," accused stated, "and noticed the car when I was from 40 to 60 feet away from it. I swung to the right and struck him with my left front corner." Defence counsel was H. J. Mac- donald, Toronto. Crown Attorney Alex C. Hall prosecuted the case. LOWEST 1 ube... 18e PRICES * 100 tabiots | EN INN \ é N 2) IN IN \ ui oo « Is Here!

EAST PHONE 2399W N Dollar Shortage Reduces Meagre British Ratjons By STUART UNDERHILL Canadian Press Staff Writer London, Dec, 11--(CP)--With dollars almost as scarce as lem- ons in post-war Britain, her peo- ple during 1947 found the nat- jonal menu shrinking instead of becoming more varied, While experts argued about the effect of protracted austerity on the country's health, there were warnings that the food im- port program might have to be tri 1med further unless more hard currency was earned or otherwise made available, Most basic food supplies are guarded by long-term contracts and to supplement them British missions dicker industriously with non-.dollar countries, bring- ing in eggs from Poland, poultry from Hungary and dairy prod- ucts from Denmark. Domestic shortages make the sellers cautious, however, and of- ten their desire for dollar pay- ments or for machinery which Britain is pledged to deliver else. whe~: hold up transactions. In an effort to Jessen the coun- try's dependence on North Amer- ica, British agriculture is being encouraged to produce as never before, but even if all 1948 tar- gets are realized, only 42 per cent of the basic. ration Vill be home- grown. Food Minister Strachey, who went into office in 1946 determ- ined to add a little variety to the national diet, now finds himself hard-pressed to maintain sup- plies which are designed to pro- vide consumers with a daily av- erage of 2,700 calories, compar- ed with a pre-war 3,000. Criticize Diet Recently a public meeting of doctors endorsed by more than 3-1 a resolution which said the present diet was undermining the natjonal health, One speaker said that many persons were getting only 1,520 calories,. although Jack Drummond, wartime scienti- fic adviser to the food ministry, said there was misunderstanding over calorie. requirements, Peo- ple were adequately provided for, according to the work they did. This was a reference to "dif. ferential rationing" by which the government gives heavy workers extra supplies of mourishing foods--bread, meat and cheese-- and meat meals at canteens that bring their potential dalorie in- take well above 3,000, An example of this preferential treatment is evident in industrial hostels, where resident workers get a weekly meat allotment worth 2s 9d (58 cents) compared with 1s (20 cents) to which the house- holder is limited, White collar workers, unskil- led laborers and those employed in light industry come at the bottom of the rationing scale. Al. though there are allowances for expectant mothers, invalids and small children, many Britons un- questionably fall below the aver- age calorie level because of sacri- fices made for other members of the family. Disriajdon of supplies is Ire. gular and even, but if there is no starvation there is widespread weariness with rations that are repeated week after week in such meagre portions as one ounce of bacon and six ounces of margar- ine. and butter. On the credit side--and it is stressed repeatedly by the gov- ernment--thousands of low-paid workers are eating a better-bal- anced diet than ever before. * Overseas Gifts Canned delicacies which help- ed to brighten the sparse mopo- tony of the basic diet, although usually expensive and rationed on a points basis, are gradually dis- appearing from the stores, Their departure makes more welcome the ari al of overseas gift parcels, thousands of which come weekly to individuals or for distributon through organiza- tons to the needy, As a gesture of sympathy to Britons who were flooded from thetr homes last spring, Ontario residents sent 400,000 pounds of food and $97,- 000 to be spent on addtional pro- visiong.
