but all this publicity about prune minister churchills whereabouts cer tainly makes one wonder w shall be glad when the conference is over and churchill back in his own coun try to blatantly announce to the world the exact spot where the two leaders are to meet seems almost like inviting enemy bombers to pay them a visit but perhaps it is all a blind as to that we wont know until it is over do you remember my telling you about how i stalled our car on top of a steep hill one day when we were attar berries t well i also told our son about my llttlo adventure and this is the answer x not back i quote from his letter how would you like to stall a threeton truck on a hill like that with tour ton of ammuni tion nnd with ono tank of ens eone which means having to switch over to another tank nnd start tho motor again with a ihet r drop of about a thousand loot to the ocean t have had that happen sov ral time when ono tank has run out of can and i never touch the emery ncy brake 1 just leave it off and use tho foot brake accelerator and clutch there is really nothing to it if you got your feet working fast enough and cot tho motor and clutch working together there are some fellows who have trouble though and have to block tho wheels before they can start off all i can say to that in that it in a wonder half tho boys arent killed be fore they ever get oversea it is a mercy wo

llttlo or no effeot over two ueekd of restless nights have rather got xia down so i nm hoping that tho worut is over it was aliu rather funny because i really believe i lost more sleep than partner ns i could nt sleep the first part of the night and then about the time i was drop ping off into a peaceful slumber partner would wake and start to walk the floor however the weather is cooler now and that does make things a little easier so i guess we shall have to be thankful for small mercies had meal in hccyrlanlk next one in tobonto r a hnckbusch after spending two months in great britain as a

adjustments all ajong the line notwithstanding the wage ceil ing many thousands of wage increases are being demanded and as one wage adjustment alter another is made it is reflected immediately in the costs of production which in turn means the pressure on the price celling is rapidly becoming insupportable food prices are creeping steadily upwards as the agricultural industry insists upon and obtains higher prices under the emergency of curtailment of essential supplies with few ex ceptions business and industry keep their eyes on profit margins and jealously protest any move to limit or control them black market are commencing to develop as certain consumers traffic illegally to get more than their legitimate share of available supplies generally speak ing our courts deal leniently with of fenders against wartime controls conveying the impression that such offences are on understandable human weakness which ought not to be punished too severely i say def initely that inflation is no imaginary condition we have all the circum stance and pressures which create in flation right here now we must fight tooth and nail to prevent those pressures being translated into n price
