The Russian offensive against Kharkov—now in its eighth day —sppeared on the verge of success as Nazi infantry retreated in dis- order, leaving war materials and prisoners in Russian hands.

Capture of Chuguev indicated that. Kharkov may soo" fail too the Russians for although miles from the city its capture in last. winter's Russian offensive preceded the occupation of Khar-

OTTAWA, Aug. 12-(0?) -T!ie nimble fingers of Canadian school children are confidently expected to undo some of iiie harm caused the United Nations when the Jap- anese grabbed Far East rubber p11)‘ duclng areas.

Agriculture Department officials today said they anticipated that children would be major contribut- ors to the mllkweed collection drive. And miikweed probably means more tires and other essen- tial rubber supplies for the armed forces.

Large-scale experiments now are under way to determine the value to the rubber" industry of a gum ob- tained from milkwecd. and experi- ments have indicated it will be "extremely useful" for blending with certain types of synthetic rub-

ber.

The National Research Council at. Ottawa has erected a pilot plant to obtain “a considerable quantity" of gum for large scale semi-com- mercial tests. and the Agriculture Department has undertaken to ob- tain in i943 from wild plants a minimum of 100.000 pounds of dried mlikweed leaves for process-

lngs

Through cooperation of the On- tario Education Department, pupils in rural schools are being urged to strip milkweed leaves, dry tiiem at home and take them to school at- ter classes resume in September. The collection should begin at once officials said, before leaf fall be-

gins. . _

Teachers will be responsible for assembling the material. weighing it and seeing it transported to a central point or points. The teacher will inform the district school in- spector of the material collected. and he will forward invoices to OLHIWIL.

Payment will be made at the rate of three cents n pound plua a small bonus for especially dry, high qual- ity material. Cheques will be sent to the inspectors to be distributed to the teachers, who may have the money used for s<hool purposes, for the Red Cross or paid to individual pupils at descretion.
