Escapes on Rationing

OTTOWA-Drastic as changes in
tariff on petroleum products were
in the budget which Finance Minis
ter J. l.. Isley brought to House of
Commons Dec. 2, the industry is
congratulating itself that the much
feared rationing of gasoline and
other oil products was STAYED off
for the time being.
Changes in tariff, which are af-
fected by the War Exchange Con-
servation Act, and in certain excise
taxes are estimated to save Canada
from so TO 70 million dollars In
u. S. dollar exchange. Trade with
the U. S. will not be reduced by
this amount, since these savings
and more-will be spent in u. s.
Finance Minister in his speech
emphasized that il was the inten-
ton to reduce gradually the amount
of imports including all petroleum
products. Canadian industries us
ing raw and semi-finished materials
on this list will have to adapt
themselves gradually to the use of
domestic materials or materials
from other sources other than the
U. S.. he added.
Referring specifically to petrol
cum products the Finance Minister
said that the Oil Controller was
making arrangements that all Ca
madam petroleum requirements
would be imported in the most
economical form possible. and plans
were going forward to see that this
would be done without burden to
or without discrimination
against those distributors who are
now using imported gasoline. Case
line importation permits. he declar-
ed, will be restricted only after
equitable arrangements have been
made by the oil controller for sup
plying these distributors.

According to these figures, the
index for gasoline stocks stands at
143 based on the average Of the
years 1935-36-37 as equal to 100.
This level OF 143 Is the same as was
shown IN the October Index for
gasoline stocks and represents very
little Improvement over the posi-
ton at the beginning OF the year
In other words despite the actual
reduction in stocks there has been
no Improvement as compared with
the base period although 1t IS true
that gasoline stocks have not risen
as they did during October and No
vember Of 1888 With the winter
season just beginning, a substantial
increase in these stocks seems in-
eYitable. Normally from 10 TO Is
million barrels are added to storage
during the first quarter OF the year
Obviously refining activity must be
held as low as possible II the in
dustry Is TO avoid the same bur
densome stocks as were on hand at
the end OF March 1910.
other significant developments
reflected in the IPA.A. index in
elude a decline in the rate OF crude
oil production but a slight increase
in the level OF crude oil stocks
The index for gasoline demand Is
holding up very we'll and the level
OF 121 is the highest since May OF
this year. Gasoline prices. however
continue to drop and the November,
index OF 81 is II points below the
level Of the first OF the year.
Briefly summarized, this Index
shows that the industry continues
to face a heavy burden OF stocks
and a weakening price structure
that has been at subnormal levels
all year.

am a silly thing, but wait until you
see my Bill. Just wait!"
II am very anxious to see him,
Mrs. Merriweather." Jane forced
herself to sound eager, but the news
carried no thrill for her tonight.
"If he is anything like his mother,
l am sure I shall like him."
Thank you, my dear"
Aunt Beth looked at her niece and
saw the deep misery in the blue
eyes. She said quickly. How about
slicing some cake, Jane? I'll come
along and help you in a moment" ;"
With a smile, Jane hurried from
the room, glad of the opportunity
to escape eyes that might probe too
closely. She took the cake from the
box and set it on the table and as
she tried to slice it her eyes glis-
tened with tears.
AS she was putting the cake on
the dainty china plates, her aunt

will work out somehow; maybe not
the way you had planned, but the
darkest moment always comes be-
fore dawn. Just remember that"
She reached for James hand and
held it firmly between her own, and
Jane seemed to gather strength from
the contact; at least, it was soothing.
Don't let the town know that
Susan is breaking your heart, and
don't give her the satisfaction OF
knowing it, either. Smile even
though you are crying inside"
I'll try to smile, Aunt Beth" Jane
said slowly. "I'll try"
There is that Bill Merriweather
coming to town. You just pack UP
your heartaches and let him take
you out. I am sure he Is a nice
sort"
"Oh, I can't" she cried hope
lessly. Il love Jimmy. There is
nobody else-never can be-" Her
eyes clouded again.
She knew that Susan would hold
him now if only for spite and make
life miserable for both of them;
Susan was the type of girl that did
things to hurt other people, willingly
and knowingly. She had tolerated
Susan's sharp tongue on many occa-
slons, with never tart reply to the
remarks because she loved Jimmy.
And from now on she knew Susan
would find many cutting things to
say-would never miss q chance to
hurt and embarrass her in public,
for Susan liked an audience when
she talked.
Jane Still Despairs.
Aunt Beth spoke again, taking
things into her own hands. II am
going to get you a nice hot glass of
milk and you are going straight to
bed, Jane. and no more crying to-
night" She started for the door.
Just take things as they come. Look
forward to tomorrow-you never
know just what happiness it holds
in store for you" She paused with
her hand on the door knob. Now,
you get ready for bed and I'll be back
in minute
Jane slipped out of her clothes,
and as she did so tried to think
over her aunt's words of coincidence.
IT she could believe them faithfully,
maybe there would be hope in her
heart for her future with Jimmy.
But for long time there would be
no seeing him each day, or hear
Ing his voice speaking the words that
she craved to hear: II love you"
Only waiting, waiting to see If Su-
san would some day change her
mind and get the divorce. And each
day that dawned the terrible, gnaw-
ing fear that she would not.
The town didn't know that she
and Jimmy were in love and for
that she was thankful. And from
now on she would have to wear a
smile for the world and pretend that
everything was as 1t should be, and
all the while her heart would be
breaking, calling desperately for
Jimmy. At every chance meeting,
his eyes seeking hers, trying to tell
her how much he loved her, words
that he could not utter because he
was tied to Susan.
What have I ever done that life
should treat me this way?" she
walled helplessly. II have loved
Jimmy all my life and now I know
he loves me, too-and this is the
answer to my dreams! Life without
him! 1t isn't fair. Nothing can be
so cruel"
She fell across the bed and new
tears burned in her eyes. The pros
pect OF life without the man she
loved was blood-red picture of
despair now. indelibly engraved in
her distraught mind.

words do little to ease the pain in
James heart.
Evening star., 1940-07-03

What is it, Jane? What's wrong?
I know something has happened, I
can see it in your eyes"
"Oh, Aunt Beth! Susan Martin is
back-without a divorce" A sob
escaped her throat II didn't tell
you before. but Jimmy and I we're
planning to get married when he
was free"
Aunt Beth put her arms around
James quivering shoulders.
Never mind about the cake; Ill
fix it. You slip up to your room and
I will get rid of them as fast as
can Aunt Beth kissed her on the
forehead and pushed her gently
away. There now. You just walk
through the dining room and don't
stop for anything even if somebody
calls you. Just leave everything to
me-"
Jane tiptoed softly through the
dining room to the hall, the thick
carpet cushioned her steps and no
one saw her. And as she reached her
own room, she heard her aunt tell
ing the guests that she thought it
was about time to break up the
game.
Jane closed the door and in the
privacy of her room she fell across
the bed and cried without restraint.
All the floodgates that had held
back tears gave away and she ceased
to try to control the grief from a
broken heart. Great sobs racked
her body as she pounded the bed
fltfully with clenched fists, trying
to find relief.
Jane Confides.
1t was only 30 minutes later that
Aunt Beth said good night to her
friends and came quietly into James
room. Jane turned over and faced
her, the picture of utter despair.
Aunt Beth walked over to the bed
and sat down, facing her.
Nov, Jane-tell me everything. -
requested her aunt in an under
standing and sympathetic voice that
had always been comforting when
things had gone wrong. Beth Lori
mer was one person who under
stood human nature; knew when to
talk and when to keep quiet.
Jane looked at her aunt with her
heart in her eyes. When she spoke

Ing to get the divorce"
You said that you and Jimmy
were planning to get married." her
aunt prompted gently.
Yes, Aunt Beth. I didn't want
to tell any one until after he was
free. Not even you" She took a
deep breath and tried to still the
quivering of her chin that threat
ened to fling her back into tears.
Susan doesn't love Jimmy. She
told me tonight that she didn't. And
oh, how she hates me! She could
have torn me to pieces She dabbed
at her eyes quickly as new tears
bubbled to the surface. "Why does
she want to keep him when they
don't love each other? I'm sure I
wouldn't want to stay married to
someone if he didn't love me and
loved somebody else"
Bill Offers Diversion.
That is the nature of some peo-
pie" said Aunt Beth. But keep
your chin up, darling. 1 know you
love Jimmy have known for years
that you worshiped the ground he
walked on, and I was pretty sure
he loved you and didn't know it..
But now you both know Things
