pickerings extra sugar cannot bo allotted a wild story has been circulating in claremont and district concerning the sugar rationing in the township of pickering the yarn that has been heard by a good many is that the local ration board had s000 pounds of sugar over after the allot ment had been divided up in ihe municipality your reporter has in terviewed a representative of the board and learned that the story is almost without foundation the fact is that after allotting everyone 10 pounds there was an overplus of between four and five thousand pounds which was not enough to provide an extra pound for every body therefore the municipality could not take up that amount the board contacted ottawa in an effort to get enough sugar to make the additional pound but in this they were unsuccessful and the overplus allotted for pickering could not be taken up here at all the story that originated that this overplus was given to some favoured families in the township is without foundation it was thought at one time that this extra supply might be divided among the farming families but this was found to be impossible and the sugar had to be turned back claremont public school

housewives in a small ontario community have united in a unique voluntary war effort that has boosted the cotton production of a war plant in their town by 400000 yards a month and is raising more than 300 a month for war charities or town projects the town is woodbridge ontario and the woodbridge plan in troduced in april is working out so well that its adoption by other can adian communities where the scheme is applicable is now being con sidered four hours spare time a week for war production is the essence of the practical twoway war effort plan the local cotton converting plant working on urgent munitions and supply department orders faced a labour shortage bottleneck to re lieve the shortage women of the town formed the war workers of woodbridge and fifty women signed up to work in the cotton con verting plant on a parttime basis each volunteer donates her time for one fourhour morning or afternoon period a week they have been as signed to simple but necessary tasks such as ticketwriting wrapping taping and clothloading thus re leasing regular plant employees for heavier work regular basic wage rates are paid by the company and the money earned by this volunteer effort is turned into a common community fund administered by the organi zation for distribution among war charities or community projects the fund is further increased by a contribution from the cotton com pany on the basis of 20 per cent of the money earned by the volunteer workers working hours are from eight to twelve in the morning from one to five in the afternoons during the first week the plan was in operation 31 volunteers work ed for thirtyfour periods of four hours each during the second week fortynine volunteers worked fiftytwo periods it is now planned to organize night shifts when the ladies hope to draft their husbands into the organization just as women in towns and cities all over canada are giving mornings or afternoons every week to other voluntary phases of war work the woodbridge plan is based on the spare time principle with the dif ference that the effort goes to a war plant urgently in need of help vari ations of the scheme have been ef fective in england for some time but woodbridge is the first can adian community to adopt it help for farmers whitchurch farmers requiring temporary farm commando help for hoeing haying or harvesting should phone their
