rules creamery trucks in ontario will be restricted to certain defined zones of operation commencing about october 1st it has been announced by officials of the war time prices and trade board according to the new regulations only one truck will be allowed to collect cream in each district and it is estimated that two and a half mil lion miles worth of gasoline will be saved in the coming year the order does not affect the far mer trucking his own produce and therefore he is still atjiberty to take his own cream to the creamery of his choice if he prefers to do so the urgency of the gasoline situa tion and the growing scarcity of trucking equipment were responsible for the working out of the new zon ing order which has been in the process of preparation for the last several weeks it is estimated that the average saving in mileage of on tario creameries will amount to around 65 per cent with the working out ot the zon ing of cream collection routes it was discovered that a tremendous inter- lacing of routes and duplication of service was taking place with as many as seven creameries collecting in one area in some cases and in others one creamery collecting cream from farmers in as many as seven and eight counties order a533 reallocates patrons producerfarmers to the concen trated collection of one creamery in its heaviest and closest area in other words each creamery is being asked to exchange patrons from far ther away for those nearer home farmers have two alternatives open to them if they have any objection to the creamery to which they find themselves allocated one is to take one or more shipments to some other creamery theikselves and thereby check on the grading they are receiv ing the other is to appeal to tile provincial authorities and have them make a special inspection to check up during the past month meetings have been held with creamery opera tors in the various districts in the province and mr stan thurston se cretarymanager of the ontario creamery association along with representatives of the services ad ministration of the prices board have outlined a plan and explained its necessity at all but one of these meetings a substantial majority ot the operators present agreed to ac cept the zoning plan with the assur ance that if after thirty days the zones were found to be inequitable adjustments would promptly be made three hundred and eight creamer ies dozens of independent truckers and thousands of producerfarmers will be affected by the order which is being adapted in slightly different forms in all the provinces of canada this country by the way is pioneer ing in the gassaving zone plan since so far as it is known it has never been done by any other demo cratic country in ilie world the zoning was worked out ori ginally through a study of maps which creameries were required to submit with their application for trucking permits these maps show ed all the patrons of each creamery and their location working with the maps the board evolved the war time zoning plan xo more trucks fourteen hundred trucks- are now- engaged in picking up cream in on tario and with very few exceptions they must be made to hold out for the duration the department of munitions and supply is this year releasing thirty six hundred trucks in canada an infinitesimal percent age of the normal demand the japanese have control of the rubber supply and while it is hoped that sufficient synthetic rubber will be produced for military purposesthere is little possibility of any being avail able for civilian use therefore it is essential to cut down duplication according to board officials if truck ing services are to be maintained at all unless there is a very definite decrease in mileage farmers may find themselves without cream collec tion service at all the board says xo xk11suxk xkxt week in accordance with the usual custom and that of a great many weekly papers the tribune will take its

successful prosecution of several other speeding cases were made by the constable the same morning be fore magistrate woodliff offenders were nonresidents charged with speeding through stouffville the
