OTTAWA, Aug. 34 —(CP)— Canada's capital city today gave fair warning that all business to- morrow will be secondary w the pleasant duty of welcoming a good neighbor-President Roosevelt.

Harvesting General In Western Oanada

OTTAWA, Aug. ‘a4 4c?)-

Tha Dominion Bureau of Statistics said today that harvesting general in the western provinces, and in Manitoba and Southern Alberta. rapid progress is being made under ideal weather con- dltions. Threshing ls fairly general in Ontario, but haying and harvest- ing of grains has been seriously retarded in Quebec and the Marl- tlme Provinces by the continued rains of the past fortnight.

Much hay remains to be har-

vested in the Maritime Provinces, the Bureau said. Some early 80W" grains have been cut but the bulk of the crop is ripening slowly. Potato yields are expected to be average. However, blght in some sections is severe. ‘Excessive and continuous rains have delayed harvesting opera- tlons in Quebec where much of the hay crop still is in the fields and a further reduction in grain yields is reported.

Ten per cent of the better-than- average ha crop in Prince Ed- ward Islan still remains be harvested. the bureau said. Late grains and root crops are a-lsfl Pr?‘

ising.

In Nova Scotia only 40 Der cent of the hay crop is. as yet. in the barns due to the cool wet Weather- some improvement in the Well-lief during the last week has favored the fruit c which are sizln! well. Buying in ew Brunswick has also been delayed by continued "his and the grains are ripening SlOWIY-

To Meet Bacon Contract

UITAWA. Alli. 24 - (OP) --1n a modest but significant commun- ique from the food front, the Ag- riculture De artment made known today that anndian farmers "are making s. good job of the bacon contract."

Behind that statement, in the words of one official, "is something to grasp your imagination. It is the story of oneof theproudestachiev- ments in Canadian Alflill-lltllffll history".

If - - as now seems probable - - Canadian producers achieve an objective of supplying 675.000.1100 pounds of bacon to the United Kingdom in the your endind in November they wi have succeeded

in something a god many people thought roui ‘t done

WITH THE CANADIAN FOR- CES IN SICILY, (Delayed) —(CP Cable) — Farmers, lumbermen and fishermen who fill the ranks of the Carleton and York Regiment of New Brunswick marched and fought in Sicily with their heads up

Trained for three years in Brit- ain and with a reputation as hard marchers. the New Brunswick troops virtually walked their feet off in the first week of the battle of ‘Iiiclly.

ey were only slightly o ed at the start but at the hiliyppglip- roaches to Erma they bumped into German defences just seven days after landing on the beaches of southeast Sicily.

They came under German shell- ing about eight miles below Enna and fought through the slopes of what they will remember as "Hill 2'18" where a dozen German mach- ine-guns blocked their way.

The Carletons knocked them out, moved into the upper reaches the Dlttalno river and then down its valley to Catenanuova in whose capture they assisted the West Nova Scotia Regiment.
