TE A Nelson's 'Victory' Under Fire Again Admiral Lord 1 Nelson's Flag- ship Hit by German Bomb But Not Badly Damaged It was reported some time ago, says The St. Thomas Times-Jour- nal, that H.M.8, Victory, Admiral Lord Nelson's flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar, had been hit by a bomb in Portsmouth dock- yard, and we are glad to learn that the damage is not serious. This is surprising, because the Victory is one of 'the wooden walls of England," and having been in dry dock since 1922, owing to deterioration of the hull which put her in danger of sink- ing, the wonder is she a not go up in flames.

There are the old guns-- 12 to 32-pounders--and the hand weapons used by the men. On the upper deck is a small brass tablet with the simple inscription, "Here Nelson Fell." Below that deck is Nelson's dining-room with his original furniture exactly as it had been on that fateful day of -October 21, 1805. Lower down is the "cockpit" where the admiral was cafried and died that after- office, with the crude instruments of that period laid out, some of which, no doubt, were used on Lord Nelson. 69 Holstein Cattle Sell For $71,610 Sixty-nine head of Holstein cattle brought $71,610 at the all- sale in Oakville.

Fibre Flax Used For War Purposes As the Fibre Division, Domin- ion Experimental Farm Setrvice, is the only organization in Can- ada carrying out investigational work on fibre crops, the work of the Division is particularly important during wartime. The increase in the acreage of fibre flax in Canada from about 10,500 acres in 1939 to 45,000 acres in 1942 shows the importance of fibre flax for war purposes. Years of investigation 'as to mod- ern types of machinery in the field for pulling, lifting, and bind- ing, and in the mills for scrutch- ing line fibres have been, the basis for wartime assistance in developing. _and_equipping modern "flax mills, Officials of the Divi- sion also give assistance to new operators of flax processing ma- chines on the +best methods of operation so as to produce the highest quality of fibre.
