ESSENTIAL SERVICE
NEWSPAPERS OF CANADA DECLARATION BY DIRECTOR (United Press Assn.— Elec. Te:. Copyright) (Received March 26, 1 p.m.) OTTAWA, March 25 Mr Elliott Little, Canadian selective service director, declared that newspapers and news associations were essential services and if they needed more help he would be sympathetic towards transferring men from non-essential work if that were feasible. The Canadian War Time Prices and Trade Board announced that newspapers, magazines and periodicals must not be sold at prices higher than the levels prevailing from September 15 to October 11 last year. The board said that the recentlyannounced increases in United States publications would not apply in Canada. The regulations also would not apply to subscriptions to foreign publications.
