The Christmas tree, traditional emblem of the Yuletide season, will be conspicuous by its absence in the homes of Canada this year. It will instead remain unadorned in its native woods. A joint statement issued by the Prices Board and the departments of Transport, Labour and Munitions, warns cutters, dealers, shippers and retailers that they will be handicapped by the shortage of railway equipment, by the* need of employing all available manpower in essential industries, by restrictions on the use of trucks, by the acute shortage of the type of twine, used for binding the trees in bunches for shipment, and incidentally by the shortage of wood for fuel. Therefore there will be no Christmas trees, where the securing of them depends upon transit. ,
