allied armies unscathed across perilous oceans for five years before these two ships had even commenced to carry the vast host of men across the atlantic for the invasion they had ferried 105000 troops and steamed 339000 miles to other theatres of war such asnorth africa and the pacific the atlantic ship is short com pared to these and a larger number of passengers can obviously be accommodated it was accordingly determined to pack them as closely as possible with troops c making the altera tions that ingenious invention the standee proved its worth the ordinaryships hammock to which marines of every nation the world overare accustomed had proved an object of doubtful value as a beclto the australian and new zea land troops the mysteries of ham mock slinging are not for landsmen and was no reason to suppose thatmenjfrom canada and united states would be more expert in their manipulation of hammocks thanwere their dominion comrades in arms they were therefore abolished and in their place a neat stretcherlike contraption supported on steel uprights and made of canvas slung on poles was substit uted the great advantage of these tiered bunks or standees was the small amount of space they occu pied staterooms so fitted could accommodate ten times the number of passengers they had held in time of peace moreover jhe canvas shelves being hinged could be fold ed flat against the side of the ship and could be built up in tiers of anything irom two to six they were installed everywhere in the great- saloons and dining rooms in all the staterooms except the few reserved fdr the officers of the ships only two dining rooms and two lounges were retained to pro vide a space where eating and some form of recreation were possible the swimming pools were made into dining rooms and the squash courts intostores in fact the only parts of the great ships which were eft clear were the alleyways and compamonways in this manner it was possible for some 8000 troops to repose themselves but this was notenough aman doesnot sleep for 2 1 hours a day so a two shift system was instituted and the num ber which could be carried was al most doubled- there were in fact two men to every bunk thus it ivas that from may to september 1943 the number of troops carried by each ship on each voy age was more than 15000 and even n the winter- months which follow- d it

there is no provision for farmers and others inthis category buying the other two grades of gas oline above the marked type furthermore many farmers are protesting that the purple dye used in the marked gasoline is harm ful to farnj machinery opinion generally seems to lean to a return to the old affidavit system but in a modified form decision will be made by the high ways department within a few days it js expected best argument for such a course officials indicated is that it will eliminate entirely the mounting and expensive abuse of the present permit system while still guaranteeing an annual saving of nearly 4 million in cheaper gaso line to farmers fishermen and others whose livelihood depends on it exemptions now granted to dry cleaners and a number of other businesses under
