The Beecher was en route from

Seen Important Step Towards Reconversion

OTTAWA. Dec. 4-(CP)-Canada took another step along the re- ccnversion road tonight with an- riouncemant of abolition of con- struction ccntrol, the organization which_held a tight ~ rein on the Dominion's building in wartime. "Builders are no longer requir. ed to obtain construction control licences," Munitions Minister Hows said in making the announcement. But he tempered his statement with the warning that building materials still were in short sup- ply and urged builders not to un~ dertake projects which were not immediately required or which would not create employment, Priorities for veterans’ housing are to be maintained to ensure their needs will be met first.

Established Ml)’, 1941

Termination of construction con< trol, established in May, 1041, to en- sure the channeling of building materials and construction labor into essential projects, was in line with ‘expectations that most o! the remaining Munitions Department controls will be removed within the next month except for some like coal control, which probably will remain essential throughout the winter.

Munitions Department official! were quick to point out however, that in most localities the pros- pective builder must obtain build~ lng licences from municipal and civic authorities.

Mr. Howe said that flie llftin of federal construction contro “does not mean that building ma- terials now are in good supply.

“There is a large pent-up da- mand for new construction which will not be met for some months to coins, but the removal 0f thd control restores the freedom of action in the construction field which had to be limited during thq

war. '

All typos cl building supplies were rapidly increasing, he said, and tho Government would con- tinue to make ovary possible ef- fort to stimulate production.

But in view of continued shorfn

age of building materials, he urg- ed builders against undertaking Ull ecessaiy projects. Canada. was very short of such essential ma- terials as iumbing fixtures, sol} pipe, brick, finishing lumber and

Board announced today.

The simplification will be brought about by combining sugar and preserves rationing under s single plan starting Jan. 1. House. wives will be able to purchase preserves or sugar with one kind of coupon and the new plan will mean a slight increase in the con- sumers rations,

This coupon may be used for the purchase of any one of the follow- ing items:-

One pound of sugar; 24 ounces of jam, jelly, marmalade, fountain fruits or cranberry sauce; four pounds of honey; 30 ounces of corn cr table syrup; 80 ounces of mol- lusses; 40 ounces of canned fruit, two pounds of honey.butter; 48 fluid ounces of maple syrup; four pounds of maple sugar,

On Jan. 1 all valid and unused pink coupons marked “sugar” will take the new ration values. On Jan. 1'7. sugar coupons numbered 68 and 69 will he declared valid, and in February the last. of these coupons, No. '70, will also be vzill- dated. After this the "S" cou- pons are to be used for the sugar- prcscrves consolidated plan,

By the end of this year ail of the “P” coupons will have become valid, the last. four — 22, 23. 24, 25 -heing validated on Dec. 20. All unused preserves and “P“ coupons will continue to hold their 19-15 value for preserves or the hall.
