Many thousands of oil-burn- ing warships and landing barges are shuttling ceaselessly across the Chan- nel, Tanks, trucks, jeeps, mobile artillery, ambulances, by the thou- sands, are in action. The driving power behind all this activity is petroleum — gasoline and fuels drawn from a dwindling crude oil supply. But—there is only so much oil, If existing supplies are to prove adequate, the most stringent economy of gasoline and fuel oil must be prac- tised here at home. Canada is able to produce only 15% of her own gas and oil needs, The remainder must be imported from the common pool of the United Nations and the bulk of this is shipped here by tankers, Critical manpower is needed to produce our gasoline and oil, Precious lives and precious ships An announcement issued by gas and oil are needed in enormous quantities for vital war purposes. The Commonwealth Air Training Plan has consumed as much as 548,000 gallons in a single day. Canada’s Navy — expanded since war began from 15 ships to 650—consumes over 2,150,000 gallons every week. Army training, war plant operation, food production, essential trucking — all are huge consumers of gasoline and petroleum products. * ‘ Gasoline is ammunition —ammu- nition of which we have all too little.

Thanks For Services Given As A Rule To Everyone But Your Doctor A short time ago a local citizen Was operated upon by a surgeon, In due course, a modest bill was ren- dered, and in sending a remittance the citizen added a few words of thanks for what he deemed the skil- ful services of the operator. The latter responded with a@ note of thanks for the prompt payment, “but more particularly for your kind words in regard to the results of my work: expressed gratitude is a ‘rara avis’ these days.” It is a curious fact that a man or woman will make a purchase at a grocer’s, butcher's, baker's or shoe- maker's, and on receiving the goods which was very little trouble to the clerk to provide, say “Thank you" and probably pay cash at the same time, or add an expression of thanks to a man who does a repair job around the house. But a doctor may perf difficult operation which may actually save a persons life, or at rid him or her of a painful or irksome mplaint, and it never enters the minds of most people to say “Thank you very much Dr. So-and-So" when paying the bill In many cases they do not even pay the bill. or it, yet pay part of gind to offer beer they would have all they had for treatment or an operation to cure them when they were sick, It probably never occurs to them that tt rgect teralls sweated blood in the performing of an operation that led for the it tense entration of all his skil and mental and phi stamina In this case the doctor Was so sur- prised at receiving thanks for his services, in additi to the practical mode of express that he Was moved to express his prratitude for the thanks A few words of appreciation to a person who deserves them will turn a heavy heart into a light one; a dull day into sunshine St. Thomas Times-Journal Will Be Different Many Improvements To Be Seen In Refrigerator Of Future Expect the refrigerator of — the future to be as different from cw rent mechanical iceboxes as the pres ent-day it is from the original horsel arriage Early mechanical refrigerators fe ed traditional ice box design—-tt freezing unit went nto the top t permit the cold t flow nwar But the present oy { t design permit old ai ca it henever the door j opens t allows ! range in refng erat temperature Models he esigned would be of table height with ¢t opening compart- mer | OF n WwW do have temper ture Y f varied dut as “ing partm for pr ger eat petable ! for ct N week MUCH CHEAPER A fr race VA fiy I ! is} t na ewls for Ant i et We ce ‘ ha tipping i deg ng have forn F ts t { t t ‘ ] ed th Nips sek l } the f " Aber | rt 7 hi ‘ ’ © t e J that it GLOBAL AGRICULTURE rt pr ! t ri t ti f spe ance it t aE ‘ probvietr dire a t upon t t t iffieu f t mula te OM t ene i 4y t f STILL A BIG JOB A British official used a combina tior f peopraphy and mathematics to show } hig the job still Is He compared the 500) square miles of territory won in France with the 2,000,000 square miles still under control of the Nazis Inhabitants of the Isle of Man were ruled at different times by Irish England, Scandinavian and Scotch kings 2075 THE PIONEER, DIDSBURY, ALTA Dig For History | \ | WORLD HAPPENINGS ai Of British Archacology To | BRIEFLY TOLD | A seney Make A Survey | People of Britain are to be asked | The Canadian Red Cross spent é $21,786,728 during 1943, more than to dig for history.
