controller at ottawa but will be procurable through local wptb ration officers on the certifi- cation of authorized truck dealers permits will be given to civilian users on the basis of published priority lists simi lar to the icirid now usedf or tire rationing it is expected that the new system will be ready for intro duction within a months time and will coincide with the stepup in available

labor government it will be well for britain and f cr the world in general atlee has the quality of cooperation whereas churchill was a hardthink ing determined man to have his own way atlee will pro bably be able to work along with russia better than churchill and so all is well only trucks at first for the time being the new plan will apply only to trucks eventually it is thought that the same plan will- be followed for rationing passenger automobiles but the idea is to try out the system first for trucks and then as the wrinkles are ironed out extend it to cars it is not expected that the 10000 hew passenger cars whose production is now author ized for 1945 will become available before october in any quantity to warrant a change m the present car rationing system prior to that time si- r j n fullemployment plan in ascertain town there is afactory which in the days f before the war furnished employment for a respectable number of workers turning out a useful form of gadget by orders of the steel controller the wptb etcsuch gadgets have not been manufactured for some time the factory jhoweveri has trebled its employment over prewar years be- causeit is fully engaged in making large quantities of doo- hickes for guns looking f orward to peace the owners of the factory f ore- see a large demand for gadgets but hot sufficient to justify the present payroll when the time comes to reconvert and the time is not far distant about twothirds of the pre sent working force will have to be released to seek employ- ment elsewhere- there may even be some temporary un employment of the normal working force while the plant is being retooled the owners see the problem clearly and have urged their employees to set aside agood -part- of their present high earnings in victory bonds as a preparation for the probable grainy day some of the employees are doing so v but others have a brighter idea they argue that since the manufacture of doohickies for guns provides more em- pioyment than the manufacture of gadgets for household use the factory should continue to make doohickies inde finitely they recognize that the government is the only- customer for doohickies so the union proposes to bring pressure to tiear on ottawa so that an assured market for jdoohickieswill be maintained with consequent full employ- ment labor has got to learn common sense before it is jtoo late i band box houses an editorial entitled band box houses in the port perry star is worthy of being repeated here and as we read it makes us more thankful than ever that this town of stouff ville has now legislation preventing just- such band box- houses as the star makes reference to no one can build here without a permit and if the premises are likely to be detrimental to tne neighborhood such permit may be denied here is the star editorial as you drive through the outskirts of any town or city you can see a number of fourroom band boxes with gar age being built it is too bad that such homes seem necessary for lack of money or lack of foresight speaking of such houses electrical appjiances has this to say in relation to the various household conveniences which science has made availablel there is one fly in the ointment about which dealers ex press concern it seems that the builders of new houses springing up ail over the land are allotting kitchens of only the proportion of large cupboards space is wholly inade quate as an example a toronto dealer told of visiting a recently purchased 7500 bungalow and finding the kitchen so lacking in space that the housewife had to close the kit chen door in order to open the oven door of her range this particular kitchen actually measured 6x8 which tells its own absurd story no people can grow great and truly prosperous that are more concerned about going places than they are in making home and cenire of family life a place of comfort and beauty the conveniences that sciencehas made available for house keepers and householders are useless to folk who live in these tiny homes they simply cannot be put into such small quarters there the can opener must continue to reign supreme there can be no pride in mothers cooking no simplifying of household duties no room to really jrest and enjoy the comforts that should be the pleasure of all home lovers l necessity may require small rhouses and- apartments with out gardens but in a landlike canada where land is abund ant every family should have lawns and gardens where they could give expression to the freedom and beauty that is our natural heritage l f i- va

labor and do all thy work but the seventh is the lord thy gods is an injunction that is being brush ed aside today by many people who think they know better than their creator how to regulate this old world here in canadaand in ontario we are rapidly slipping into a spirit of disrespect for gods laws and thesad thing about it is that one seldom hears a word of protest or criti- cismeven from those
