"I! they had not risen to the occasion and brought about that Ohmic this past summer we would have no hope of being able to my“; on the task of producin greatly increased amounts of da pro- ducts and pork products." Mr. Gar- diner told exhibitors at the cheese and bacon show here. In Britain, he said, the demand for Canadian cheese and bacon had been increased by the ploughing up of between 4,000,000 and 5,003,000 ziacres of grass land for grain grow- ng. "Canadian farmers have made greater change in use of acreage within the two yqrs of war than any other country in the world for which I have been able to ge‘. rec- ords.” said Mr. Gardiner "Canadian funnels have made greater proportionate lncreasese in the production of food products re- quired m Britain than trove been made by any other country for which I have been able to secure thc records." The British government had 1'5‘- cently appropriated £100,000,00) to aid British people in meeting m- cneased food costs. The Canadian government would this year spa-nu $100,000,000 to assist in making food cheap to British consumers. a larg- er contribution on a per capita basis than that of tlze British gov- emment, "Every year since the war start- ed Canadian farmers have accepted prices for their food commodities which are so far below whnt thcv are entitled to that the act con- stitutes a gift to British COIISUHIFYS of food from one branch of our pop- ulation much greater than an addi- tional $lT0,00Q_000," he said.

The more pr“. tiaal minded business men among them viewed the development of the moss as a financial enterprise corp taming vast possibilities. A great market awaited the finished product if it were successfully reclaimed from the lowly bog.

The late Mr. J. O. Stewart of

McLeod and Stewart, who at, the time carried on a grocery buslncgs in the city, the late Dr. Warburtrm and the late L- l-i. Goff. became interested in the possibilities and decided to develop this moss. They approached Mr. Mark Wright. then living in Charlottetown but now in Vancouver, and asked him to design a press for processing the moss from the peat bog. He made the plans for the press and the work of blllldlnnv it was supervised by his brother, Mr, G. D. Wright. who is living in the city at present. The press was built at Archibald White and Sons Foundry, which used to be located next to the present Stcrns Laundry building. A Peat Moss Company was pro- posed nnd stock issivd but the coin- pany was never actually fanned, ac- cording to Mr. Wright. A quantity of the moss had been dug by hand and then pressed but it was found that tlte machinery failed to dry it properly and the scheme had to be abandoned. The site where ‘he moss was dug belonged to a Mr. Munn of Mt. Herbert.

However. a. quantity of the moss had been retailed at fifty cents a bale and was used as horse hed- ding.

The apparatus for pressing rr was similar to that used in making bales of hay but was made of cos. lron.

It was with great regret that the promoters abandoned the develop- ment of the industry as the hog contained “an inexhaustible" sup- plv" of the moss which is a valuable material in upllolstcrv work. A new discovery, and onrwhich makes it even more valuable, is that it can be used in the processing of maz- neslnm ore which makes it an es- sential material in the manufactur- ing of war muterfals.

It is brileverl that there are also quantities of the moss in other sec- lions of the province.

Soviet Forces Appear Holding F i r m At Tula; New Series Of Strong German As- saults.

LONDON. Nov. 20-(CP)—The Russian line above Moscow ap cared today to be bending back un er the shoc of one of a series of strong new German offensives all about the capital, but the southern Rved anchor was reported holding firm at Tula. against violent tank and in- fantry assaults.

At least 100.000 German troops were in frontal action around Tun,

which is 100 miles below the capi-J tal, and about Volokolamsk. some 65.‘ miles to the northwest of Moscow, while other lat e invading forces are beating at t e Kalinln defences 30 miles still farther north. _ , About Volokolamsk, Soviet mlIl-j tary dispatches acknowledged thatl R/ed forces had been com llcd to

evacuate a number of vii ages in

the face of repeated infantry as-

saults by five German divisions, which were said nevertheless to, have suffered great losses. 1 Before Tula, the repulse of Ger-

man attacks was reported. Others

were at once launched, however, and

a Soviet war correspondent report-

ed:- “The fighting is heavily taxing

their (the invaders) strength."

Of the far south, where the twin areas of crisis are at Rostov-on- the-Don and along the Ketch t5‘r~.iit —the former the ilfillllbffl and the latter the southern entrance to '56 Caucasus- official Russian infor- matlon was meagre during the day. The Russian command announced, however, the evacuation of the port of Ketch itself-which the Germ- ans had claimed at the beginning of the week-saying it was an orderly retirement to "more advantageous positions" which had been dlctwed more by strategy than by over- whelming Gennan force.

The area to which the Ketch gar- rison had been withdrawn was not stated in the mid-day Russian corn- muniquc. but it appeared. likely in view of previous reports to that ef- fect in London quarters, that the troops had been ferried across the Kerch Strait to take 111911‘? stand with the swelling forces holding th wcstfern extremity of the Caucrsus itsel .

More than 20,000 Germans have been ailnihilated in the battle for Kerch the Russians said.

Delayed dispatches, meanwhile, told of heavy action on the n rah- crn front on the Volkov River east of Leningrad, which the Germans are trying to cross in an apparr-nt effort to make a junction with their

Finnish associates striking south- ward from Karelia.

These dispatches said that the ad- vance of three elite Nazi "deohl head" divisions had been broken on the Volkhovs west bank by Russian counter-attacks.

It was 100 years to the dly 17°10 the time Sir Wilfrid Laurie: was born in this L'Assomption County community and the occasion was the dedication of the little brick house in which he first appeared as the first-born child of Carolus Laurier, farmer and pioneer 18nd surveyor.

ure.

From the verandah cf the small brick house with the curved roof sloping out over it Mr. King de- clared the residence own l0 ‘he rlfblic as a national historic site. sh- Eugcnc Hset took charge as master of ceranonles and read a message from Justice Minister La- polnte, whose serious illness was a saddenlng influence on the D"!- ceedlngs.

party.

"sir Wilfrid in serene spheres looks down upon the conflicts. anxi- etfes. difficulties of these times. wrote Mr. Lnpointc from his sick- bed, "history places him among tho- grcat statesmen. in the forefront cf the purest Canadian glories.

"My compatriots have lauclii their sons to venerale and honor the memory of the great man and recollection of him is still vlrzld. I am happy and proud, in spite of an inrlispositlon that keeps me in hos- pital, to offer to my very illus- trious predecessor in Quebec East. to that loader who guided and in- snired me at the outset of my ca- reer and whom I faithfully served 15 years. the tribute of mv - respect, lively affecPcn and snvm‘
