Terrifying Picture

Such details as officials were able to obtain painted a terrifying picture.

Water and gas mains were rip- pod asunder as the earth bulged in some places and burst open in gaping crevices in others. 1710111685111! oi the disaster in Anatoia, a region often visited by earthquakes-along with the fear of epidemics as a result of the diffi- culties of getting relief to the stricken thousands-grew as tine day advanced.

llragmentary reports from Erain- can Province said practically all of the 16.000 inhabitants of the ancient town of that name was killed or injured.

They were trapped in their beds by the first shocks.

The walls of just one bufding- the Great Barracks-were left standing in the town, which was d7e8stmyed by another quake. in

In Sivat Vilayet. the little town 0f ZHPB- hfld 1.500 inhabitants kill- ed and 1.000 houses destroyed. The quakes caused destruction in l-Iafik, Bayburt. Susehrt, sharkish. la. Kuyufuhlssar, Terdcan. Trabzon, Vainfikebir, Machke and Kirasun.

Many Without Shelter

Officials feared that hundreds of thousands were wandering in Open fields without shelter prey o1’ con- stant snowfali and bitter cold.

The ministers of health and in- terior left Ankara for Erzincan and several medical squads were sent to the stricken region from nearby Vllflyels- A national emergency committee was gathering funds and directing rescue work.

Martial law was proclaimed throughout the quake district and lllllllflry and b01104.- squads patrolled with orders to snoot anyone caught; looting.

As special trains arrived with nurses. doctors snd relief workers many children were found ii-i the ‘Woods. in a miserable condition from cold. hunger and fright.

Panic still was strong, and many of the population were seen pros- trate in prayer before collapsed mosques.

The first report was that the to- tal quake casualties for the whole of Anatolia had been estimated rm- officially at 9.000 persons.

Revise Estimates

As advices continued to trickle in. to the capital, officials revised the estimate and said there were indi. cations the dead would go far be. yond the 10.000 mark-with many of the injured dying because they lacked medical attention. Then Bally lvhlkht officials announcw $2.000 as the combined dead and in- Jllred in Erzincan alone. Later. the dead alone was placed at a mink mum of 20.000.

Reach Railway?

Unconfirmed reports said sonic of these raiders already had reached tho railway.

Iinlands ski troops travel with 40 to 60 pounds on their backs- their rations and blankets-and car- ry light machine-guns and oven light artilery pieces with them, They also can carry explosives for blowing up railways.

Clad in whim cloaks and hoods which blend the large asses p! men with the snowy lsndsca, Finnish ski troops have proved of great value in sudden flank attacks and skirmishes with the Russians. Finnish aviation also has been active against Russian "military objectives." among them presumably the Murmansk line.

MANY PARTIES REPRESENTED IN MBERTA

Mr. A. E. McLellan Revisits Home Af- ter Sixteen Years’ Absence.

The prospect of ten parties par-

ticipating in the next Alberta pro- vlncial election is anticipated by Mr. A. Erskine MacLelian, of E1- nora. Alberta, representative for the Innisfail constituency in the Alberta Legislature, who is visiting friends and relatives here. It is expected that the Aberhart Gov- ernment, of which Mr. MacLellan is a supporter, will go to the coun- try some time next summer. The Government has a majority of 5'1 out of 63 seats at the present time. Parties likely to be represented in the field against Social Credit are the Liberals, Conservatives. Unity Party, New Democracy, C. C. F., Labour. Socialist, Independent, and Communist. Fortunately joint po- litical meetings are not the cus- tom in Alberta. s Mr. MacLelan is a son of Mr. Alban MacLellan, of Indian River, and last visited his native Prov- ince sixteen years ago. He was elected as a Social Credit member in 1935. his first campaign. He is s. section foreman with the Grand Trunk Pacific at Elnora, and is a magnificent specimen of man- hood, standing six feet four inches and weighing over 230 po-unds. His father. who visited Charlottetown yesterday in company with his son and Mr. James Pender-zast of Ken- slngton, is also over six feet in llelllhl». and shows extraordinary vim and vigour for his seventy- seven years.

Other Islanders iri tire Alberta legislature are Messrs.J.J.Bowlen. (Liberal) formerly of Cardigan. who represents Calgary. and O.C. Has- lam. K C.. (Social Credit) who represents Claresholm and formerly came from Springfield, P. E I.

Conditions in Alberta. Mr, Mac- Lellan ‘reports. have improved con- sideraby in recent months. The agriculture and business outlooks are better and there ls a new spirit: 0f optimism.

How long he will remain in tire

Preparing Fruit Trees For Winter

(Experimental Farms News)

Severe losses to fruit trees may occur from two classes of winter- injury. These are frost injury and lngury from arumas such as rab. bits and mice. writes Mr, G, c, . Experimental Station, Charlottetown, Prince Edward Is- land.

Careful fertilizing and sound cllllllrfll Practices may do much in lessening damage from frost in. Jury. Mature Wood is less likely to be injured by freezing tem r- atures, airy, any method wrlgh tends to stimulate the production of new. succulent growth Ln late Slimmer should be avoided. The use of nitrogenous fertilizers late in the season. as well as continued orchard cultivation. may promote new. late growth and such prac- tices are best discouraged.

Another common form of in- iluy during winter is that by rab- bits and mice. There are a num- ber of ways in which such injury may be greatly reduced. Mice usually work on the ground under- neath the snow and often soil banked and packed firmly around the trees to a height of 10 or i2 inches will give sufficient pro- tection. A common and successful method of preventing injury from ra-bbits and mice is lo wrap the trunks with building or tarred paper. No injury has resulted from the use of tarred paper at Char- lottetown, Although this tias been reported by some experimenters.

All wrappings must be removed in the spring. Wire rotectors are also _ular and, made suffi-

cientl large, may remain for a number of years. The use of washers of repellents has increas- ed in recent years and there are now s number which have proved very satisiaotory.

Recent investigations in the United States with zinc lfliosphide

against mice have ven 100 per cent control. Th treatment. known as the u. s. Biological

survey Method. has given excel- lent. results when tried in Canada and is particularly well adapted to commercial orchards.

Full particulars regarding any of the above may be obtained by writln to the superintendent. Expo mental Station, Charlotte- town, Prince Edward Island.

To Ration All Meats And Sugar in Great Britain

LONDON, Dec. 28—(CP)—Great Britain was infonned today that sugar and all kinds of meat will be added to the rationing list in order to conserve foreign exchange and shipping space. _ _

Already down forrationing were butter. bacon and ham.

A government moi-lowly was an- nounced on purchase of all im- ported meat. and all domestic live- stock sold for slaughter. and gov- ernment; control was instituted over meat distribution throughout the United Kingdom. Control will be administered bv W S. Morri- son. Food Minister,

Beginning Jan. 8. the sugar al- lowance will be 12 ounces a week for each person. a. reduction of 25 o-r cent in the normal sveralle consumption. Mat-ter-of-facl nub- ltshed accounts of the new ration- ing pointed out that Germans get B“ ounces of 511.18!‘ l Wflk-

Butler rations will be four ounces a person a week. a reduction of nearly 50 per cent from normal. Bacon and ham will be cut down a four ounces a week, beginning

n. 8

Meat’ in general will be rationed on a basis of value, rather than

rationing to begin. but it probably will be in February.

Sweet-toothed Britons had Vthe consolation that the sugar rations will not affect manufactured jams. candies, and the like. However, they were told there would be an appropriate cut in supplies of such items

In explanation of the new ration orders. the Food Ministry mid Germanys war against shipping is a failure, but "rationing still is desirable" foe- cause the slush in rationed pro- ducts. almost entirely impozled. is expected to release more foreign exchange to buy munltiom and airplanes and make available more cargo space in ships to bring these materia‘s to Britain. At the same time it was dis- closed that Britain now has oom- pleted or is encased in converse- tions for wartime trade agreements with l4 nations. The newest pact- wit-h sweden. is expected to supply much material to the Swedes which will find its way to Finland to 81d in its war with Soviet Russia.
