TIMES-GAZETTE, PAGE NINE Ontario Hog Raisers Ask Ban On Feed Grain Speculation Canadians Pay Tribute To Dead Of Two Wars By The Canadian Press Thousands of humble Canadians bared their heads Tuesday under rainy skies beside the great of the land as they stopped for two min- utes to remember with gratitude the sacrifices of those who died in two world wars. Led by the Governor General, Viscount Alexander of Tunis, who took the salute of a parade to Par- liament Hill at Ottawa, mayors and high officials of the services offici- ated atesimilar ceremonies in oth- er Ontario centres, large and small. The day--anniversary of the armistice of the first world war is set aside to honor the 62,817 dead of the first world war and the 41,- 092 who died in the second. Ontario school children had a holiday and a Canadian Press sur- vey showed that most centres also marked the whole day as a busi- ness holiday. Those which did not, observed either thé morning or two hours covering the 11 o'clock cere- monies before. community ceno- taphs and private memorials. At Kingston, Col. M. P. Bogart, Officer Commanding the Army's Lastern Ontario Command, took the salute at a parade of detach- ments of the services, cadets and other organizations at a service at 'he cross of sacrifice. Showers eld down the size of the crowd. Because of the rain Belleville's sremony was held at the town's .rmouries, where Rev. John W. 'oote, V.C., the heroic Padre of dieppe, was the chief speaker. Toronto's observance was a sol- nn, open-air religious service be- r the cenotaph, with no parade.

At Owen Sound, because of the avy rain the service was held at Westside United Church rather than at the cenotaph. About 100 veterans paraded to the church. A military parade through wet streets featured Remembrance Ser- vices at St. Catharines and Kitch- ener. St. Thomas started its ob- servance with a community service at Knox Church. Later a Cana- dian Legion parade marched through the downpour to lay wreaths on the cenotaph. Steady rain caused a last-minute decision to transfer Brantford's service from the Cenotaph to the Brantford Armouries. Rain also cancelled plans for an outdoor ser- vice at Stratford and the memor- ial ceremony was held in the city hall auditorium, Gen. Crerar, retired Commander of the First Canadian Army, placed a wreath at a service at the Essex County War Memorial at Windsor.

It is possible, said this British re- port, to get an explosion so im- perfect that the atomic material's detonation would be no worse than that of some ordinary explosives. The Paris report says the metal in the bomb weighs 12% pounds. That comes within the lower limit set by the Smyth report, which said the miniumu amount needed to Sipleve is between two pounds and 00. The general impression has been that the Allied atomic bombs used much more than 12 pounds. The impression has two sources. One is that the large size and great weight of the atomic bombs, which Gen. Leslie Groves, head of the Ameri- can bomb project, said could be carried only by a B-29. British re- ports said this bomb weighed around three or four tons. The other source is a report in a United Nations publication by Frederick Joltot, foremost Irench physicist, that the amount of ex- plosive metal in the American bomb is about 130 pounds. The rest of the weight is supposedly in firing machinery and'in spacing of the atomic charges. The Paris report did not state whether the Russian bomb is uran- ium or plutonium. The weight of metal in either bomb is virtually the same. London Wants Lights In Windows, Doors London, Ont., Nov. 12 -- (CP)-- Claiming they are the only group subject to mandatory "dimout" re- strictions on use of hydro, local merchants are appealing to the On- tario Hydro Electric Power Commis. sion for easement of the new con. servation order. Merchants said they had been ad- vised showcase lighting is permis. sible in business hours. By Holding |Someone Made Fortune Up Supplies |For Increase, Is Charge Toronto, Nov. 12 (CP)--The Dominion government was urged by the presidents of Ontario's County Hog Producers Associations to "place coarse or a similar board" because ' grains ander the wheat board 'it is essential for the security of the hog industry that speculation in coarse grains be eliminated." In another resolution the'meet- ing urged the government to con- sider making it possible" by loans and otherwise, for the people of Britain to secure increased rather than decreased quantities of food from Canada." The resolution said it was essential that Canada not lose the British market for bacou and other farm products. Speaking of the. . removal of ceiling prices on feed grain, C, W. McInnis of Iroquois, president of the Ontario Hog Producers Asso- ciation, charged: "Evidently someone knew what was going to happen and made a few millions by holding back coarse grains for the price increase." "We have got to the. point where we have lost all faith in government bargaining," said Mr. McInnis. "We have been told that the cabinet representatives of more powerful forces have over- ruled the Department of Agricul- ture." Charles Newton, Barrie, and William Newman, Lorenville, said that a pric agreement be- tween the hog producers market- ing board and the processors has kept the price of grade A hogs at Toronto at $23 a hundred- weight during t. : present unpre. cedefted run of hogs at the pack- ing plants, following the packing- house "strike and the feed price increase and thus saved the pro- Pe L 4 ducers from a hog trophe, "The agricultural prices supe { port board has got to be a supe | port board," declared Secretary W. E. Tummon, "If it has not the | power it needs, it shoulld be give en that power. If the government is going to insist that people be fed at a certain price, then the board should make up the differ ence between that price and our cost of production." price catase BO OF 8° IGNITES At 2.13 p.m. y..lerday, tie Fire Department was called to Mike's Place, 17 King Street West, where a paper k x full of soot had ignite ed.
