ties including practically all the larger urban areas during the past few month- have passed bylaws limiting the service station hours of sale of gasoline since there seems to be this gen eral concurrence that legislation is helpful in this retail situation ex amination of this merchandising activity may prove interesting the retail sale of gasoline through ser vice stations which now employ tens of thousands of people in can ada is one of the youngest divis ions of retiiing with practically all its growth since the 19141s war the first service station in can ada is said to have been built in vancouver in 190s with gasoline tanks on stilts high above the ground and the gasoline fed into autos by gravity but probably the first service station in canada in a present day sense and certainly the first in eastern canada was built at yonge and roxborough streets toronto in 1917 before that motorists purchased their gasoline in cans and a few others constructed tanks at their homes at the end of last year there were more than 10000 gasoline re tail outlets in ontario from the most luxurious city service station to the isolated backconcession pump these supplied practically all of ontarios 067029 motor vehicles including 99isl with gasoline and served them from more than 20000 pumps or slightly more than two pumps for each service station their sales of gasoline in 1941 are estimated at 212 million gallons that means that on the average each gasoline pump in ontario serves 33 customers or 28 motorists and 5 trucks and each service station about twice that or 56 motorists and 10 trucks during war years each gasoline pump in ontario put some 12100 gallons into motor vehicles annually dur ing the peak sales year of 1941 each ontario pump delivered some 17- 000 gallons a station with five pumps in a high traffic location of course sells much more but just as truly many stations serve less ontario dealers are seeking to re tain the hours of sale which dur ing four years have enabled them to enjoy a normal social and family life and often to devote energy to more pressing wartime tasks and services canadian motorists were adequ ately served during the four war years and gasoline dealers urge that while the average of custom ers in the most thickly populated area of canada remains at 66 for each service station these surely may have all their needs

hind closed doors as men whispered mysteriously about fiendish butch ers supplying human flesh to the black markets the men claim the mad butchers prefer women because they are more easily lured to their doom there are 175 women to every 100 men in berlin and the women are not so quickly missed and the women are generally fatter these stories may succeed in keeping the women at home but they have had little effect on black market patrons bloody details were recalled of crimes committedafter the last war by a young maniac who killed a succession of berlin girl friends and served their flesh to new lovers so far we have found no facts to substantiate the reports a spokes man for the us criminal investiga tion department said but we are still investigating a similar statement was made by a british spokesman but an official of the german criminal investiga tion division said he personally knew of at least one case where human flesh had been offered to a german butcher according to one story a former german soldier posing as a blind man serves as bait for the butcher gang begging unescorted women to help him home those who help him never return the story claims another story

miracles of makedo youll appreciate this if you apply the interesting defini tion of research which was given by cfkettering research is an organized method of finding out what you are going to do when you cannot keep on doing what you are doing now it is a state of mind some people get to work and figure things out others just grouch and q blame others and hope that if they i complain loudly enough or sit and do nothing long enough some thing will happen people like that are the immature the spoiled children who have never learned to accept lifes responsibilities and they are a heavy weight on society fortunately they are not the majority even though they may seem to be at times most of us realize very well that the world doesnt owe us one thing more than we put into it and we get a real kick out of being alive and doing our bit more for those who are too young or too old or too ineffective to do theirs none of us can live by ourselves or for ourselves so it is well worth the recurring research we must do in order to figure out how to live most happily and co operatively with those around us and with the materials which we are able to obtain wptb and q questions answers dont be pessimistic canadian countryman some people seem most pessimis tic about the future these days and are full of the gloomiest forebod ings its not much wonder of course after the exhausting effort the world has been through and all the hunger and lack which is being suffered still it is so often not those who are suffering the most who do the loudest complaining fear and discontent are the most crippling and unproductive of emotions recently i heard a talk by a man who believes that imagination is the bedrock of our modern civiliza tion and that applied imagination will be the driving force for the development of this great country not imagination that just sits and dreams and puts up with the world of things as they are in order to live in a world of fantasy but imagination that conceives of new things and dreams up new and better ways of doing old things he claimed that imagination tne in ventive genius of clever scientists and the applied imagination of gallant fighting men was what won us the war and that these same things will be our hope and salva tion for a prosperous peaceful future there is a great difference be tween the social usefulness of the person who simply puts up wit things and the person who fgsj the best of things t j t i am enclosing an advertise ment which appeared in a tor- onto paper last week you will see that the ad snows a three piece set of furniture priced at 119 on dec 31 i bought the same thing at another store for 11250 why should there be such a difference in price a there is a ceiling price on this type of furniture a dealer must not charge more than he charged for similar furniture in 1911 while we do not know why there would be such a difference in price in these two stores it would seem that per haps the store selling at 119 was holding a january sale however as we have the names and addresses of both stores we will check their prices on this item q i bought a tin of fancy red cohoe salmon and paid 2sc for a 1 oz tin was i overcharg ed a yes for the brand of salmon which you bought the price seems much too high it should have cost about 23c depending on where it was purchased that is it could have cost one cent more or one cent less and still be within the ceiling price however 28c was a very high price and if you will write in again giving us the name of the store where the salmon was purchased we will check prices immediately q since price controls have been lifted are taxi drivers allowed to charge any price they like a all prices board regulations regarding the charges made by taxi cab companies have now been removed taxi rates are generally set by municipalities and taxis operating within the municipality cannot charge a higher rate in the city of tor onto there i sa taxi cab bylaw which is administered by the police department q what coupons can i use now for the purchase of iam a since january 31 sugar cou pons are to be used for both the purchase of preserves and sugar each coupon is good for the purchase of one pound of sugar or twice as much jam and other preserves as could tie purchased with the old ty serves coupons up until recently two tins of ig c may be purchased with a p coupon is 40 fluid ounces with the new s coupons you may buy so fluid ounces de pending on which coupon you were using you were entitled to either two or four tins of the size you bought we have pass- j ed your letter along to the local board otfice in your city and they will check up on the a store am writing to ask if canned soups should be up in price a we are receiving a number of enquiries about canned soup prices generally being upped a cent or two slight increase in canned soup prices have been approved by wptb because subsidies were taken off and costs were justifiably higher retail and wholesale markups on soups are closely controlled by the boards food adminis tration ceilings are slightly higher than in 1911 in some cases q i bought my little girl a ski suit last week and now find it is too small this store refuses to give me back my money and they have no other suits of this type left are they allowed to keep my money when the suit is of no use to me a there are no board regulations governing exchanges such as you mention it is entirely up to the individual store keeper whether or not he will refund money or make ex changes perhaps they will have these suits in stock in a very short while or some other type of garment which would be suitable q do i have to give up ration coupons for unsweetened peaches to be used in making pies your grocer was quite correct when he collected coupons for unsweetened fruit there is a limited supply of canned fruit both sweetened and unsweet ened and in order that every one may receive their fair share it is necessary to include both in the list of rationed pre serves danforth automotive supply tom dobson 705 danforth ave toronto phone ha 0931 paris accessories and machine shop service
