Canada AboIishes
Price Ceilings on
All Publications
Serious Revenue Decline
Cited in Decision Of
Wartime Trade Board

| FS tie Associated Press.
OTTAWA, Aug. 26.-The Wartime
Prices and Trade Board announced
today removal Of the overall price
ceiling from Canadian and imported
newspapers. magazines and periodi-
cal publications in general, leaving
the press free to adjust rates and
safeguard its revenues"
The exemption applies to news
stand and street sale prices and to
subscription rates. Advertising rates
already are exempt.
In announcing it's decision the
board said careful survey by the
administrator of publishing, printing
and allied industries showed that,
while larger revenues had Offset
higher operating costs in 1910 and
1941. revenues recently had suffered
serious decline"
Conforms With U. s. Rules.
There are too many variations Of
circumstances to deal with each
case individually so as to maintain
control of price" the board said.
Accordingly, 1t has been decided
to remove the overall price ceiling
and leave the press free to adjust
rates and safeguard it's revenues
so that the freedom and independ-
ence of the press may be preserved.
This decision brings the Cana
dian regulations into conformity
with those of the United States
where newspapers, magazines and
periodicals were from the outset
exempted from the price ceiling"
Certain economies were believed
possible in the publishing field and
all publishers were being urged,
individually and collectively" to
keep prices down and conserve ma
terials and labor as far as possible.
Publishers were expected to try to
maintain service at existing priceA
where possible, although it was rec
ognized that economies were not
always possible or did not afford any
great saving, particularly in the case
Of rural newspapers and weeklies.
Subsidy Impractical.
But competitive conditions within
the industry. the announcement said,
make it highly unlikely that price
adjustments can be made in any
unreasonable manner"
In outlining its reasons for re-
moving the price ceiling. the board
said 1t was impossible to establish
common measurement of value
for all publications or any general
principle governing price increases.
1t was also impractical to provide a
direct Government subsidy for sec
tions Of the press unable to operate
under direct price ceiling, since
a subsidy of this kind would not be
compatible with the democratic
principle OF q free press"

RUBBER DRIVE
IS EXTENDED
Officials Estimate
Only $4,000 Tons
Collected So Far

President Roosevelt early this
week extended for another 10
days the drive to gather all
available scrap rubber after a
disappointing total of only 49,
900 tons were collected in is
days throughout the United
States.
The scrap rubber collection
campaign was originally sched-
uled to end at midnight on
Tuesday of this week, but the
extension will continue through
and including July 10.
Government officials said the
amount of rubber collected was
disappointing" but no one had
ever set a pre-campaign goal
on the tonnage expected. Some
estimates were as high as 600,-
900 tons, it was stated.
Those people who have not
already done so are again urged
to look in their Easements. at
tics, storerooms and garages for
old rubber and take it to any
filling station where they will
be paid one cent per pound for
it.
Officials stated that there
were more than 100 rubber ar
ticles that are in common use
that everyone should have at
least a few pounds to sell in the
campaign.

REVISE LAWS ON
CANNING SUGAR

Under revised regulations To-
cal war price and rationing
boards may authorize family
units and individuals who are
not members of a family unit
to obtain additional sugar for
some canning of fruits in am
cunts not to exceed one pound
of sugar for each four quarts
of finished fruits to be packed,
Glenn Knight, local ration ad-
miniStrator, stated this week.
In addition, not in excess of
one pound of sugar per person
may be authorized for use in
preserves, jams, jellies and fruit
butter. Authorization is to be
through the issuance of sugar
purchasing certificates upon ap-
%plication to the local board with
which the family unit or indi-
vdual is registered. People liv-
ing in the outlying district OF
the county can call the nearest
grocery store for application
blanks, it was stated.
The requirements of a family
unit must be covered in a single
application, and separate appli-
cations shall be accepted only
from individuals who are not
members of a family unit, it was
announced.
Before a person can make ap-
piication for canning sugar it
is important that they know
the names of the members Of
the family and the serial num-
Der of the war ration book held
by each, the number of quarts
of all kinds of fruit canned last
year, the number of quarts of
fruit in their possession at pres
ent, the number of quarts OF
fruit which are to be canned
for use by the family unit and
the excess sugar supply (if any,
as of the time of registration.
Applicants for sugar for home
canning who did not receive war
ration books at the time of reg
istration because of excess guam
titles of sugar in their possess
ion or in the family unit, and
whose application for home can
mig purposes is acted upon ia
vorably by the board, shall re-
ceive an adjustment equal to
the amount of sugar approved
by the board for home canning.
If the amount authorized for
home canning of fruit re-
duces the excess quantity in
their possession sufficiently as
required in the sugar rationing
regulations, the board shall issue
war ration books to the individ-
uals or to the members of the
family unit, as the case may be.

State Speed Low
Set ut 40 M.PH.

The 4O-mile-an-hour speed
limit on Montana highways pro-
mulgated recently by Governor
Sam C. Ford will be put into
effect in about 10 days, follow
ing public notification, Charles
Sheridan, state highway patrol
superintendent, announced this
week.
At present Sheridan is attend
ing a conference of highway
patrolmen concerning the new
speed law. The 10 day delay in
getting the law into effect was
due to present steel signs on
the highway being replaced with
the 40-mile-an-hour signs.
The new signs will be made
of wood due to the steel short
age, it was announced.
Sheridan emphasized that the
regulations will be strictly en-
forced to cover all vehicles that
travel on the highways. Bus
lines, he said, are amending or
will amend their schedules to
conform to the new speed limit.
Although the new limit will
not be in effect for the July
Fourth week end, Sheridan
asked that it be generally OBJ
served on that date by vaca-
tionists and other motorists.
