Sugar Ration
Rules Told
For Canada
American tourists who plan to
An mm iM-Mi,v-iil- n r-anada
rj fc-ttfec to the dominion's
sugar rationing law which becomes
effective July 1, reports 3th Ore
goh State. Motor association, which
has just received the information
through the Canadian Pacific rail
way. This ruling will apply to
those who. keep house in summer
cottages, tourist courts or trailer
houses. -; . ;
Prospective visitors are advised
to apply for the rationing cards
now through the ration division,
wartime prices and trade board,
Ottawa, Canada. However, -cards
may be secured from the local
wartime price and trace board in
any Canadian city after the tour
ist reaches the dominion.
Persons who will eat in cafes
or restaurants ' and who do not
intend to keep house will not be
required to have cards. The
amount of sugar, available for each
person is not announced, but is
expected to be similar to the
United States allowance.
The motor association also points
012V the' following additional facts
of importance governing tourist
travel between the two countries.
1. When returningtothe United
States it is necessary that the
American tourist be able to prove
his citizenship. Birth certificate,
passports or . voting registration
certificates are excellent evidence.
It is well to secure these papers
before crossing the border.
2. Gasoline rationing for tour
Ists now is effective in British Co
lumbia and the visitor is allowed
a maximum of 18 imperial gallons
of casoline. This is eauivalent to
nearly 20 American gallons. No
additional kas can be secured un
der any consideration and the tour
should be planned within the driv
ing limits of the available fuel. In
other western Canadian provinces,
the allowance is 20 imperial gal
lons..'' 3. Canada is anxious for Ameri
can tourists to visit its recreational
areas and has extended special in
vitations through dominion and
provincial officials.
Bremen Raids
LONDON, June StO-iTV The
German U-boat nest at Bremen
was attacked heavily Monday
night by the Royal Air Force and
aq informed source declared the
cumulative destruction inflicted
there has put the nazis second
biggest port "in much the same
state as Cologne, Emden, Lubeck
and Rostock."
Looking back to the 1000-plane
raid : on Bremen ' last Thursday
night and the followup blows de

nights, ' observers calculated the
port had -been hit by -about 2000

: In addition, it was reckoned
that' tens of thousands ' of Tire
bombs probably 100,000 were
dropped on the submarine build

we have seen this coming and have

difficulties in a year when the
threat, from natural causes and

"We really , need that $5,500,

T. S. Goodyear, supervisor , of
the Washington-state division of

seriously with' the entire fire pre-:

The CCC has earned the major

Goodyear said. "And It nas ad
vanced the entire reforestation

of where it would have been had

Lynn F. Cronemiller, assistant
Oregon state forester, sounded
different note, He said the 'de
creased numbers of CCC enroHees
since the United States entry into

contribution to forest trotecon
