Next, why sandwich skunks between "Home Ecoâ€" nomics" and "Tea and Coupons." Is that nice? Again why tell loyal folks to go get some rotten eggs? Some people suggest that it is due to the Wartime Prices and Trade Board that there is so much rotten merchandize on the market toâ€"day, but in any event there does not appear to be any rotten eggs <‘lying around loose. Ordinary folks would just about as soon have the skunks as that In any event the suggestion is a dangerous one. I1 folks have access to a quantity of rotten eggs they might be tempted to turn them to other purâ€" poses than killing skunks. Silly circulars, for exâ€" ample, might have a strange attraction for eggs that have seen better days. The true spirit of coâ€"operation also would sugâ€" gest that it does not appear to be within the proâ€" vince of a Wartime Prices and Trade Board to give directions as to how to turn the stomach of a omm unsm ns en im ons s > m n â€" e ~ > s commmentim ces tm P PA Aâ€"AC APC P ALP AC AC C CA «P eP l AP PC CA } ARE SKUNKS TO BE RATIONED? | «it P AP" P P O P PA â€"AP m qQuintus Horatio Flaccus Horace tells of the mountain that was in labour and brought forth a mouse.

The Warâ€" time Prices and Trade Board has ijust fatherec Canadaâ€"$2.00 Per Year Circular No. 51 is headed:â€""Small Arms Ammuâ€" nitionâ€"Skunk Destruction," and reads as follows: "As some requests have been made for ammunition to destroy skunks, for your information, the deâ€" struction of skunks is more readily accomplished by use of poison especially as these animals are more likely to be abroad during the night. Mr. Roy Pugh, Provincial Apiarist of the Dept. of Agriculâ€" ture of the Province of Sackatchewan, has advised that skunks can readily be controlled by the use of poisoned eggs. A few rotten eggs should be obâ€" tained and prepared in the following manner:â€" Make a small hole in the shell at one end of the egg and into this insert strychnine sufficient to cover small fiveâ€"cent piece. Stir the strychnine to cover egg with a small stick or piece of wire and leave the egg in place accessible to skunks, but not to larger livestock. If more poison than that stated is used, it will be less effective, as it will only cause the skunk to vomit. It is recommended that when ammunition for the destruction of skunks is reâ€" quested, the applicant be given the above informaâ€" tion, and no ammunition for this specific purpose be issued." Now for some coâ€"operation! Of course, coâ€"operâ€" ation means working together. The Wartime Prices and Trade Board dannot just foist all its skunks on the pubhc and let it go at that. There are some questxonq that the Board should answer before expecting public coâ€"operation. First of, all, who dug up all these skunks?‘ In this part of the country the people are about as shy of skunks as they are short of gasoline, butter, sugar, tea andscoffee. It may be different, of course, in Montreal and Ottawa. There is, of course, another possibility. David Harum said that a reasonable amount of fleas was good for a dog because it kept him from brooding too much on being a dog. It may well be that the Wartime Prices and Trade Board has the David Harum dog idea about Canadiansâ€"that a little talk about skunks may make them forget about the sugar shortage, tlie brevity of butter and the meaâ€" greness of meat. Despite the fact that Mr. Donald Gordon, the head of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board, in a recent address to the weekly newspapermen of Canada accused the people in general of lack of coâ€"operation in suarding against inflation, the truth is that there has been a remiarkable readiâ€" ness to study all Wartima Prices and Trade Boara circulars in the optimistic hope of understanding them. TThough the Board has robbed men of their spare pants, taken the cuffs off their trousers to the advantage of none but the corporation tailors, and made everybody go shy of tea and coffee and sugar and meat and gasoline and nearly everyâ€" thing else but shoddy, the patient public still takes the attitude, "All right! all right! Trot out you:r skunks!" Indeed the ordinary man will not even murmur that in skunks it is not inflation he fears, but deflation. Friends of the skunkâ€"if anyâ€"will be alarmed at this skunk talk. The Wartime Prices and Trade Board issued a couple of circulars on sugar, and before anybody could lay in a stock, there was sugar rationing. A circular or two on meatâ€"and there was meat rationing! Mention by the Warâ€" time Prices and Trade Board of coffee and teaâ€" and soon there was rationing of tea and coffee. Are skunks to be rationed now? _ The Wartime Prices and Trads Board may think that a smeil idea. Quintus Horatio Flaccus Horace tells of the mountain that was in labour and brought forth a mouse. The Wartime Prices and Trade Board has the mountain beaten as badly as Monsieur of Calâ€" lendar outdistances the ordinary man. The Warâ€" time Prices and Trade Board has just fathered skunks. Circular No. 50 of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board Rationing Administration, Montreal is entitled, "Home Economics Classes." Circular No. 52 is on the subject, "Tea and Coffee Coupons."

There have been several newspaper .comments| on the number of Georges in the new Ontario Cabâ€" l inet. But the people in general do not know the| half of it.: Of course, the premier, Hon. Geo. A. Drew, is one of the Georges now reigning in On-! tario. Then there‘s Hon. George H. Dunbar, Proâ€"| vincial Secretary, and Minister of Municipal Afâ€"| fairs. Hon. Geo. H. Challies is Minister portfolio and viceâ€"chairman of the Ontario Hydro Commission. ‘Hon. Geo. H. Doucett, Minister of Highways and Public Works. That‘s four out of ten. Not so bad. But there‘s more to come. Hon. W. G. Thompson is Minister of Lands and Forests and Minister of Game and Fisheries, and it is a' safe bet that the initial "G" in his name heralds’l the fifth of the Georges. One of the particularly| promising men in the Cabinet is the new Attorneyâ€" General, Hon. Leslie E. Blackwell. Ifhis nameisn‘t George his father‘s was, and the Attorneyâ€"General will have to be a gifted speaker, indeed, ‘to equal the geniune eloquence of the aforesaid George Blackwell. Hon. Leslie M. Frost, Provincial Treaâ€" surer and Minister of Mines, like the Attorneyâ€" General is another Lindsay man and he must at least have known a whole lot of able Georges like George Blackwell and George Jordan. That' only leaves three members of the new Cabinet who are not Georges, or the sons of Georges, or something about Georges. Hon. T. L. Kennedy, the Minister of Agriculture, at least served under two previous premiers of Ontario, who were Georges themselves â€"George Howard Ferguson and George Henry. Hon. Chas.

So much adverse comment has been made in regard to the case where a trucker was fined for giving his wife a ride in his truck that the Services Administrator of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board Trucking Order No. 121 has been moved to announce that the order was never intended to have such an application. The intention was to prevent trucks being used for transportation of passengers, the Administrator says.‘ Well, in this case, the newspapers expressing public ‘opinion have achieved something. They have made the powersâ€"thatâ€"be reallze that red tape can only be carried so far. That is something to achieve these days. But more is needed. There should be furâ€" ther agitation until the fine imposed on the unforâ€" tunate trucker through acknowledged stupidity is remitted.
