IPAGE TWO THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8. 194C { PAYS TRIBUTE TO LATER. WLAUGHLIN ANDDR. T. E. KAISER (Continued from Page 3) was reminded of his late friend, Aaron Laidlaw, who lived near Bramptori and was Internationally famous as a pioneer in experiments leading to the acclimatizing of al- falfa in Canada. He recalled that thé late Peel County sage's modest home had a great living room where one wall was given over to books. "Each book in that library," Mr. Bull stated, "had a story and a special value. Mr. Laidlaw also had a most interesting collection of pre-historic Indian relics. Remains of an ancient Indlan village was included in his fam property. It was hoped that those relics would have gone to some Canadian mus- eum. Indeed, I had hopes that they would come to mine. However, they were not disposed of at Mr. Lald- law's death." The late Mr. Laidlaw was a his- torian in his.own way, but he was more concerned with pre-historic Canada. Any who have had him picture antideluvian Lake Iroquois from a high point on his own acres, ' and show how its vast tides broke on the crests of the Dundas Range which were its beaches, will never forget the experience. Tribute to Late Robert McLaughlin "T knew Mr. Robert McLaughlin very well," Mr. Bull declared, "and would that more Canadians had left monuments such as he has left --a héalthy and prosperous sub- urban city. "Oshawa was the forerunner of what the big cities of this earth, in my judgment, must work towards and look into. | "The successful example of de- | centralization here blazed a path for big industry and their leaders. | In such places, contented and well- | employed men may found real | homes. "Such homes will have special blessings. Their children will grow | up and be educated in nicer. more wholesome surroundings which will | make for a better, a more prosner- | ous and a more God-fearing Can- | ada." Six Sons In Uniform Mr. Bull would not comment on the war further than to say that all of his six sons are in uniform. He has not heard from one son serving in Egypt for six months. "But I wouldn't have an able bodied son of military age who was not in uniform." Mr. Bull'concluded | the interview, and thus answered the unspoken question about his | family name and its relation to the nickname of England--John Bull. There, at any event, is one relative | whose records are very plainly writ- | ten, and on all battlefields where loyal men die for their King and for British Freedom. Export of Bacon Govt. Controlled | There is an idea in some quarters that meat exporting packers ship bacon products in any manner and condition they see fit. This is not 80. The meat packer is the manu- facturer. The Government may be sald it be the shipper. According to regulations under the provisions of Part II of the Live Stock and Live Stock Products Act, bacon Is graded according to official standards and packaged as may from time to time be prescribed by the Dominion Min- ister of Agriculture, and bacon be- ing exported must receive such care and handling in transi* as may from time to time be prescribed by the Minister, to whom each export- er of bacon must issue ga signed statement in the form prescribed by the Minister respecting each shipment of bacon being exported. Such statement must be signed by a Government inspector and one copy of the statement forwarded to the Marketing Service, Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. Exporters of bacon must be Ili- censed by the Minister and the li- cence may be cancelled at any time If the holder violates any reg- ulation of the Minister respecting the quality of bacon that may be exported within prescribed periods and the proportion of Wiltshire sides to other cuts that are includ- ed in such shipment. All Grade "A" sides must bear the official brand "Canada" in the form of an arc, above the propriet- ary brand of the exporter. Grade "B" bacon must be branded with the proprietary brand of the ex- porter only, such brand to be dif- ferent from the proprietary brand included with the word "Canada" for branding "A" bacon. Grade "C" must not be branded. Proprietary brands must not contain the words "Canada" or "Canadian" The offi- cial brand "Canada" consists of block letters not less than five- eighths of an inch in height. Not only are all bacon sides und bacon 'cuts inspected and graded by Gov= ernment inspectors at the various plants but are again inspected at seaboard. Improved refrigerator cars, under controlled temperatures carry the product under Govern- ment supervision to seabeard. Ex- port of bacon from Canada is car- ried out in accordance with Gov- ernment regulations and under Government supervision HADAWASKA RIVER POWER PLANT T0 BE STARTED NOW Hydro Also Approves Start on Ogoki Diversion--Two Cost $12,000,000 TORONTO, Nov. 8 (CP)--Armed | with a go-ahead order from the On- tario government, - officials of the Ontario Hydro Electric Power Commission began laying plans to- day for developments on the Mada- waska River, a main tributary of the Ottawa river, and in the Albany River area, which will cost an es- timated $12,000,000. The developments were ordered at a cabinet meeting yesterday and include diversion of water from the Albany River system into Lake Superior and construction of a 54- 000 horse power plant on the Mada- waska, The northern diversion, known | commonly as the Ogoki diversion, involves transfer of 4,000 cubic feet of water a second from the Albany system which flows into James Bay to Lake Nipigon and the Nipigon river which flows into Lake Super- ior. The project is being under- taken to implement the recent Can- adian-United States St. Lawrence | river power agreement under which | the United States allowed Ontario 5,000 additional cubic feet a second for the Niagara plant provided the Ogoki diversion was undertaken. Dr. Thomas Hogg, chairman of the Ontario hydro commission, said the Madawaska project calls for a power plant at Barrett Chute, 30 miles west of the Ottawa River, and | a storage dam at Bark Lake. Plans | for that region, he added, involve | an ultimate development of eight sites in the river for a total estim- ated 200,000 horse power, ERODED SOIL TESTS As indicated by results obtained from an experiment laid down by Dominion Experimental Farms Ser- vice, in 1935, six years of cropping and the application of 200 Ib. of commercial fertilizer each year has had little effect in briaging badly eroded soil back into production. In this test, one area had all the sur- face soil removed, a second area had all but one inch of surface soil removed, and g third had three inches of soil remainin. These were compared with a normal non-erod- ed soll of six inches deep. Two hundred pounds of commer- cial fertilizer were drilled in with the barley crop each year. The av- erage yields for the six year period ranged from 12 bushels of barley per acre on the totally ercded area to 48 bushels per acre on the non- eroded area. The larger amount of soil removed, the greater became the decrease in yield, the average on the no-soil area in 1940 being 6.5 bushels per acre; on one-inch surface soll, 11.6 bushels; on the ® Using gently circulating, warmed air, conditioned with just the right degree of mois. ture and filtered clean, sup. flied by the Howard "South. ind" Air Conditioning Furnace Unit.

CANADIAN FUNDS HELP FRONT LINE (ITY TO SURVIVE 1,000 Ramsgate Houses) Wrecked in 4 Minutes --Shelters Safe By ROSS MUNRO Canadian Press Staff Wrhier Ramsgate, England, Nov. 8-- (CP)--Contributions from Cana- dians gars helping this battered | Southeast English town re-estab- | lish itself after heavy Nazl air raids. In one mass raid bombs fell for four minutes and damaged more | than 1,000 houses. There have béen | sporadic attacks since then but | Ramsgate still carries on Appeals | were sent to English towns and to | Canada, where a number of former | citizens of the town live, and the response is going to relieve the dif- ficulty. Casualties in the town have peen comparatively few, for jt has prob- ably the safest air raid shelters in | the world. 3% miles of tunnels cut through the chalk formation under | the town. Sixty thousand persons, | nearly twice the population of Ramsgate, could be accommodated. Even direct hits on the shelters do not endanger the people under- ground. but it is also a matter of deep eivic pride that "like London, we can take it, too." The big city catches the headlines now, but this town has stoically endured the trials of a front-iine coastal centre with little public recognition for its heroism. Many of the older citizers remain in their homes despite the aerial pounding, A 75-year-old resident, who went through more than 100 air raids on the town in the first Great War, refuses to leave, "They didn't get me the last time and they won't do It this time, either," he sald, refusing an invita- tion to go to a shelter with some friends when the sirens whined. Raiders from the sky, British troops on defence duty and the landing of 50,000 Dunkerque survi- vors on the jetty here huve brought the war right to the town's front door. Yet there is a bustle of activity in the business grea. It was an ine congruity of wartinma to see a. fruit dealer's stand on the mair square, loaded down with oranges, apples and fresh fruits from overseas. The shelters are what back up the determination of more t han half the citizens to remain in their town. These shelters were built be- fore the war at the insistence of a long-sighted town council. Aver- aging about 70 feet underground, they are an unique engineering achievement. Many peonle live in them now. Natural vertilation was provided by sloping the tunnels in certain directions, Sea Scouts of the 1st Brockville Ont., Sea Scout Troop are erecting a 40-foot E-shaped dock before their boathouse. It is planned also to erect a diving tower. Ramsgate is proud of its shelters | Hog Carcass Grading Statement Available To Every Producer Farmers gre entitled to individual statements, from the shipper or trucker, covering hogs which they have sold showing: -- 1. - The official carcass grace. 2. The carcass weight. 3. The price per pound for the basic grade. Price differentials various grades 4. for 5. Any deductions such as trans- | portation and commission. The official grader of the Dom- | inion Department of Agriculture is responsible only for the grade, and issues a statement showing the grade for every farmer's lot of car- casses graded. Most commission firms and pack- ing houses are now issuing indivi- dual statements of settlement for | every farmer's lot of hogs In some cases these are mailed direct to farmers, but for the most part they are turned over to the shipper or trucker, and it is his responsibility to see that they reach tho farmers concerned, and are not discarded as sometimes happens, The Hog Carcass Grading regula- tions require the shipper to: 1. Identify the hogs. 2. Provide the grader with manifest showing particulars regarding ownership identifi- cation. Issue to the farmer a state- ment as outlined above Make settlement to the farm- er according to the official grade. It is very much in the farmer's interest to see that whoever deliv- ers the nogs to the market meets | all these requirements. Most shippers or truckerz are ef- ficient and trustworthyy but it w=» known that some are disposed misrépresent the official carcass grading service to th? farmers. The Dominion Department of Agriculture has established an ef- ficient system which will operate to the producer's benefit if he will | only take advantage of it. Farmers who do not receive state- ments of grade within a few days | after marketing their hogs should apply to their shipper, if this fails communicate with the official graé- | er gt the point where tiie hogs were slaughtered. Nearly all hogs are killed on the same day or the day after arrival, and the grader issues the grading | certificates immediately after | slaughter. The commission, firm or packer at once computes the settle- ment and the complete information is then available to the farmer, either direct py mall, or, ac is usu- ally the case, through the shipper or trucker, 1940 Potato Crop After two years of below-average crops, an approximately normal po- tato crop is being harvested in Canada in 1040. According to the first official estimate, the 1940 po- tato production is placed at 40,859, 000 cwt., which is 4,469,000 cwt, or 12 per cent above that of 1939. Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia have slightly larger potato crops than in 1939, while Quebec and New Brunswick show appreci- able increases. On the other hand, the Ontario potato crop is reported at a very low level, due to root rot in the southwestern part of the province, and to late blight. The Manitoba potato ctor was somewhat the | to | Week's Review Livestock Toronto, Nov, 8.--(CP)--Cattle and calf prices were urchanged on the livestock market, here this week.

At first sight this bald statement would ap- pear to be one of local interest only, but behind .it lles a saga of the West--a story of heroism and final triumph over years of adver- sity, These farmers come from the irrigated tract south '*of Lake New- ell recently opened under the Prai- rie Farm Rehabilitation scheme, but before their removal under the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Act, they were living on government re- lief as a result of the battle against the elements in trying to make a living on the arld lands of the drouth-stricken areas of Southern Saskatchewan. Year after year they depended upon natural rainfall and year after year their hopes were blighted; they sank further and further into a morass of debt. Eventually under the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Act, the Dominion government de- cided to turn their land into com- munity pastures and to offer them a chance of re-establishing them- selves on irrigated lands.

Something new in motor accidents was introduced on the highway at Firth's Corners, near Midland, at 11 a.m, yesterday when a car driven by Gordon Park- er, Midland, smashed two telephone poles, approximately 275 feet apart, in the same accident. "It's rather hard to believe, but true," said Provincial Constamle A. Wilson, who investigated the crash, "put I paced it off, eighty-five paces, our estimated 275 feet. "Something went wrong with the... steering gear," explained Parker,' The car suddenly dived' into the) ditch, smashed one pole completely," leaving nothing but wides hanging... and carried part of the pole on. top: of the car as it sloughed on down' the ditch, topping as it crashed ifito the second pole. 7 Taken to Dr. Swan's office, Park er was given medical attention fon; a badly out eye and other * a lacerations, WOOL TOPS FOR GALA EVENING "Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was white as snow," is the theme song for winter evening.
