CONTROL OF NEWSPRINT REVOKED

FURTHER RELAXATIONS

(P.A.) Parliament Bldgs., Sept. 20. By a Gazette notice published tonight four further Factory Control notices were revoked, while the Paint Control notice was substantially relaxed. Of the controls administered by the Factory Controller only eleven, including those over critical commodities, such as bicycles and tyres, remained operative. The controls revoked to-night include the Paper (Newsprint) Control Notice, 1941. This was the last of the war emergency restrictions remaining in respect to paper. It restricted the amount of newsprint which might be used for newspapers and periodicals.

Another control revoked is the Gas Producer Manufacture Control, 1940, which declared the manufacture of gas producers a controlled industry. Other revocations are those of controls over glass containers manufacture and over linseed oil. Control over all materials used in the manufacture of paint has been revoked except, for six items used in the manufacture of synthetic lacquers which are still in short supply but it is hoped to lift, these restrictions soon. The Minister said this relaxation of the Paint Control Notice would interest motorists who have been inconvenienced by inability to obtain synthetic enamels for tne repainting of their motor-cars during wartime.
