contained in a letter to the london sunday express by norman lee 1 eat and drink in moderation for your healths sake 2 read only the best writing for your minds sake 3 study politics and watch the politicians for your childrens sake 4 read the bible at least once for your souls sake 6 pick the right girl for your wife for heavens sake people in canada earning less than 1000 and paying in come taxes- total tax revenue from these people was less than 20 millions in that after allowances for refundable taxes but if you start the tax tableat 1000 instead of 660 and lop off these taxpayers you cant then just leave the restof your tax structure untouched if you did you would have a man earning 990 a year paying no taxesand theone who earns 1010 paying about 90 this of course is quite impossible it means that to cut out all taxpayers under 1000 the entire tax structure must be regvaded so as to ease the tax incidence between those just under the- limit and those just above making an ancient aft the other day we heard a man asking for a bag of charcoal in a hardware store and learned that the supply was very low- with dry kindling difficult to purchase are we becoming more and more dependent on charcoal as a means of starting fires was the thought that we pondered over it is a very old fuel and may again become of necessity very popular charcoal burning isan ancient art the technique of which has been handed down from father to son different woods yield different qualities of charcoal the variety used for the manufacture of gunpowder- for example being made from willow alder and dogwood charcoal used by artists consists usually of a charred vine twig many qjebec farmers make charcoal in their spare time they use sound hardwood which they char in circular kilns built of brick and lime reinforced with iron hoops the production of charcoal in canada in 1943 amounted to 83742000 pounds including 59030000 made in the wood distillation industry and 24712000 in the

wonderful and sos the picture k1 why exemptions not made the financial post has outlined the difficulties in mak ing higher exemptions from 660 for single and 1200 for married people oil income tax it entails so much change in the tax table that it couldnt be done in a hurry the post contends that had an attempt now been made to raise exemptions hardly anything could have been done by way of substantial relief for small taxpayers and there wouldhave been no percentage relief for middle and big income group even to have raised the present tax exemption from 660 to 750 for single people and from 1200 to 1500 for marrieds would have gobbledup more than what had been set for all personal income tax relief or to use an extreme example it would have cost the government almost half its present total personal income tax revenue or something close to 400 millions if it had tried to raise exemptions to what seem like reasonable post war figures namely 1000 for single and 2000 for mar ried persons the reason for this is that you cant wipe out a few thousand small taxpayers at the bottom without upsetting why advance from forty ottawa city is moving to place warning signs at danger ous street corners now that the government is moving to restore the 50 mile limit on automobiles if this is the rea son the capital city is taking more precautionary action it ought to be a very good reason why the 40 mile limit should remain- it seems that everybody breaks speed limits con sequently 40 miles in our opinion should be the starting point on which to break and not 50 miles kissing the book in a recent editorial the london free press quotes one of that citys coroners as saying that medical men show an extraordinary lack of enthusiasm when asked to kiss the bible in taking the oath in court the coroner stated that he knew of only one doctor who performs this ancient and traditional ceremony properly and he was an english man who seemed to have no fear of bugs on the bible the point is well taken the bible in use in the many courts we have attended areinvariablydpgearedand worn almost beyond recognition withthe cover missing in some instances arid in others held on with an elastic band we seem to recall that one crown attorney took notice of the situation and donated a new bible for one of the courts in which he officiated in this connection the timesgazette of

is this price too high a as with groceries so cleaning hats each shop has its own ceiling price depending on the price it charged for the same service in 1941 this meansthat ithejceilirigpriceforhat

asked for five 1c oz bottles for two cou pons the store manager said he could give me only four 16 n oz bottles for two coupons i thought that in buying the extra bottle i would not lose part of the coupons worth am i right a yes pure molasses has a cou pon value of 40 oz so that 5 16 oz bottles could be bought for two p coupons however some molasses is put up as a blended table syrup with a value of 15 oz per p coupon in this case you could buy only two 15 oz bottles for two cou pons this may have confused the store manager in your par ticular purchase q i rented a 7room house to a
