Notice
To
Subscribers
Daily
News
is
Rationed
in
Spite
of
Increase
in
Circulation
The
Wartime
Prices
and
Trade
Board
has
rationed
the
newsprint
supply
of
all
newspapers
In
Canada.
The
effect
of
this
ration
Is
that
the
Dally
News
lias
been
limited
to
the
amount
of
paper
that
It
used
In
1942
in
spite
of
the
fact
that
our
circulation
has
Increased
some
twenty
percent
since
that
time.
It
has,
therefore,
become
imperative
for
Uie
Dally
News
to
take
all
possible
steps
to
economize
on
the
consumption
of
newsprint.
Accordingly,
we
are
compelled
to
cut
.off
our
circulation
lists
all
subscribers
in
arrears
and
to
eliminate
'certain
free
or
courtesy
papers.
,,
The
situation
simply
Is
that
to
guarantee
delivery
of
the
paper
to
all-
those
who
paywe
must
stop
delivery
'to
those
who
do
not.
We
trust
that
our
subscribers
will
appreciate
the
situation
in
which
we
haye
been
placed
due
to
war
conditions
and
understand
that,
In
fairness
to
all,
we
have
no
alternative
In
the
matter.
"
-
We
would
suggest
that,
if
you
wish
to
.continue
the
Dally
News,
you
check
up
on
the
present
standing
of
yptir
subscription.
If
you
are
In
doubt,
the
office
will
be
glad.ti)
advise
you
how
It
stands.

Subscribers
are
also
reminded
again
of
the
increase
