There is a growing price- ramp in motor "spares,' which have been for months past.

Private motorists, already faced with difeulties, in finding spare parts for their cars, are now be- mg asked to pay two or three times the ordinary prices by or- ganisations which are trying to "corner" the market.
Alderman Rowland Winn, for- mer Lord Mayor of Leeds and head of a motor engineering firm, to ask the car trade to help night these "spare pushers."
He told Leeds Chamber of Com- Incree that som people were Buying up all the car spares they could And and then selling at three times the purchase price.
"This business is
apparently
very well organised," he told a reporter.
"It started in the south and has now spread.
200 Per Cent. Profit
"The idea seems to be to grab all the spares they can lay hands on and keep them until the situa- tion is difficult for the ordinary motorist and he is willing to pay their price.

The object of this change is not in any way to curtail the amount of training, the necessity for which is as great now as ever.
11 is intended to make it possible
of for every member
the com- batant group to carry out his full training with the least upset to the normal work of the Colony.
1. The present system of training of one day a week for all active units of the Hong Kong Volunteer Defence Corps is to be changed to one half a day a week with effect from Monday, 21st April 1941. In addition, two evening parades 1 week and one week-end 13 month at the discretion of Unit Commanders will be continued.
on
2. The normal half-days which each unit will be required to parade are as under (2 p.m. to 9.30 p.m. approximately):—
1st Battery Tuesdays; 2nd Bat- tery Thursdays; 3rd Battery Thursdays; 4th Battery Tuesdays. 5th A.A. Battery, No. 1 Section Tuesdays; 5th A.A. Battery, No. 2 Section Thursdays; Field Com- pany Engineers Thursdays; Corps Signals Wednesdays; Mobile Co- lumn Wednesdays; No. 1 Company Mondays; No. 2 Company Fridays; No. 3 Company Mondays; No. 4 Company Wednesdays; No. 5 Com- pany Mundays; No. 6 Company Fridays; No. 7 Company Fridays; Army Service Corps Company One half day per week as detail- ed individually; Field Ambulance Wednesdays; Pay Section Fridays and once per month half on Wed- nesdays and half on Fridays.
3. Attendance at these parades is strictly compulsory, unless leave of absence has been granted by the Honourable the Colonial Secretary,
4. Applications for leave should be addressed in the first instance to the Commandant, Hong Kong Volunteer Defence Corps who will. forward them to the Honourable the Colonial Secretary for a final decision. It is pointed out, how- ever, that a man will be consider- ed as absent without leave unless he produces proof that leave has actually been granted; the mere fact of an application having been submitted will not excuse a man's absence and he will be liable to disciplinary action under the Vo- lunteer Ordinance.
3. It is stressed that the only applications which will normally receive consideration will be those on behalf of men who "bre actively engaged on the produc- tion of War Material and such ap- plications must state clearly the reasons why leave is required, and the maximum amount of training any man can do.
