season and all through the new year yg agnews hardware people ix all walks demand ceiltng removed on poultry there is a growing feeling strongly supported by all classes that a ceiling price on poultry has been a big mistake this year no one can point to any good the ceil ing does but there are plenty of people farmers and store keepers alike who declare the ceiling just makes a lot of jobs for government employees whatever truth there is in this claim wasnt just borne out in its entirety here last week while the ceiling on poultry did harm to the business and seemed to kill the enthusiasm of buyer and seller there was a total absence of gov ernment inspectors around stouff- ville on christmas market day one farmer was reported selling right from his rig without weigh ing the birds just tatoig a lump price and the purchaser took his chances on the other hand merchants found the ceiling hindered their business with the farmer demand ing the retail ceiling which he could not pay wptb questions and answers q my druggist refused to deliver any order under si others tell me there is no longer such a ruling is he allowed to do this a yes your druggist is quite privileged to deliver or refuse to deliver any order such regu lations are the concern of each individual dealer during the war years there was a regula tion governing deliveries which was necessary due to the short age of manpower gasoline and other equipment required to make deliveries however the regulation was lifted a long time ago q has the price ceiling been taken off luggage i lought a duffle bag and was charged 1267 this bag is only imitation leather and i am of the opinion t paid at least so too much a there is still a ceiiing price on luggage of all kinds including trunks suit cases travelling bags haversacks and dunnage bags from the description con tained in your letter we could not say the exact price for the bag you purchased as you have given us the name and address of the store we have asked our enforcement division to check and advise you direct q what is the correct price per pound for sugar i recently moved to a new district and was charged 9c which is more than 1 have ever paid a each store is allowed to charge the same price as was charged by them in 1941 at that time some stores sold at 9c and a few at 10c a pound while the greatest number of stores sold sc this same condition exists today q 1 have two student boarders getting three meals a day they are going home for two weeks at christmas would i have to give them their ration books as they are coming back in jan uary if 1 have a roomer pay ing by the week and only re ceiving breakfast do 1 get any rations from him if so how many also how much notice must i give him to vacate a- in reply to your first question we can only repeat that the ration book is the personal possession of the person to whom it was issued and there is no board regulation which distributes the coupons between landladies

in the companys london ont shops has just gone into service here- it is the first of fourteen to be constructed and of eight expected to be ready for ser vice to handle the christmas rush of holiday travellers the new car was designed by officers of the companys mechanical and archi tectural departments it marks an important step in the canadian national railways postwar replacement and moderniz ation programme said rc vaughan cmg chairman and president of the system during the official inspection of the car it is the first of more than so new pas senger cars planned for service in 1917 many of the ears will be entirely new in design this is the first parlor car in canada to have a private room ii is furnished with a comfortable sofa and chair for daytime rest and has its own little private washroom annex it is finished in a light beige with the upholstery and drapes in rust and the carpet in tones of russet green and black to match a feature of the room is the new zone control

ones which become valid during the holidays be given to the person in charge of the home where the students will be staying that would seem only fair dont you think as far as the board er receiving only breakfast is concerned you would have to make your own arrangement with him about coupons per haps you could use his book on alternate weeks if he is receiving meals and room it would only be necessary to give one weeks notice to vacate if he pays by the week the hunter bags a tale comes the hunting season and the woods and fields of america yield as much in the way of tall stories as game and sometimes even more never does the long arm of coincid ence stretch quite so far as when it is shaken by the hand of a hunter as an old maine guide explained it the only real difference between a hunter and a fisherman is that a fisherman expects to be branded a liar and therefore exercises some control over his imagination at any rate the folklore of hunting all of it of course offered as the absolute truth is rich and varied one story that is really vouched for reveals that dame nature appreciates a good joke just recently a new york broker made a thousandmile hunting expedition j to the canadian wilds there he tramped the woods for live days unable to sight a single deer though he did manage to shoot a few ducks and partridges finally i deeply chagrined he returned to new york arriving at laguardia field late at night and took a taxi to his home just outside the city when the cab was within 200 yards of his house a dark object darted in front of the headlights and i rushed into the radiator the drivei land passenger fearing the car had struck a pedestrian jumped from the vehicle and ran back to the dark i object which lay on the edge of the road it was an eightpoint buck then there is the story of the game warden and the wily out-of- season hunter one of the simplier although unsportsmanlike and il- j legal means of obtaining venison i for the table is jacking or blind- i ing deer at night with flashlights to render them motionless this prac tice is followed rather extensively in certain areas of rural new york despite the vigilance of the game warden during the meat shortage many farmers invested in fivecell flashlights and a box of shells when the larder was meatless they would go quietly to their orchards flash a light until a pair of eyes gleamed in the beam then send a load of buckshot at the eyes there was one farmer who not only managed to feed his family by this practice but was bootlegging venison to some of the local restau rants the game warden was aware of this activity but had been un able to get sufficient evidence one night the warden waited until dark then quietly entered the farmers barn led out the cow and staked the animal to a tree in the orchard he then moved down the road and waited an hour passed before the war den was rewarded by signs of ac tivity in the orchard then he saw a bright beam flashing through the dark orchard the light came to a stop then a shotgun blasted the night there was silence for a moment but the quiet was soon disturbed by the rears of the farmer when he learned he had jacked his own cow the game warden returned to his car which he had hidden a few hundred yards down the road after that there were no more reports of illegal deerhunting by the farmer concerned ray mond r camp in the
