A generation accustomed to wireless may " be amused to learn that the news of Nelson's ‘ i victory at Trafalgar on Oct. 21, 14° YCQYS 38° did not reach London till a fortnight later. It was 0n Nov. 6 that Atlntiral Colling\vood's des- patches, describing the battle and announcing the death of Nelson, were published by the Admiralty in a gazette extraordinary. Nelson was laid to rest in Si, Patti's Cathedral on January 9, and it was stated that as 111ttcl1 as 500 guineas was paid for a ltouse on Ludgate Hill to view the funeral procession. indignation was expressed at a charge to see the grave, and the Morning Port published the following “I165, which tnade a pnpttlttr cpigratn despite the horrid rhyme of "war" and "pint"! Brave Nelson was doubtless a lion in we-r. With terror his enemies filling,

Sui, now he is dead they are safe fi-om ‘his paw, And the lion is shown for t1 shilling.

Even with the tnngiiificcnt recent achieve- ment; of the Royal Navy in mind, Nelson re- mains, to quote from George Meredith's poem, "England's admiral till setting of her star."

Important Cotiference

The conference of the Food and Agri- cultural Organization of t11c United N350“ meeting at Quebec this weelt is a most import- ant one. This body had its inception at a c011- ference held at Hot Springs, Virginia, in the spring of 1943, and the (lccisiott taken there to create a 1101-11111110111 food and agricultural organization represented the first co-operative international effort to (lcal with the problems ‘of post-war reconstruction.

This date I944, the Allies scored on all fronts. The laps fell back on Leyte where 100,000 Americans with tanks captured an airstrip and advanced on all sectors. After seven days’ battle Aachen fell to the Ameri- can First Army, over 10,000 prisoners being taken during operations. A new attack was launched north of Antwerp, and good advance made. The Eighth Army entered Cesana. Russians and Marshal Tim's Army liberated Belgrade. The Adriatic port of Dubrovnik was captured. The British occupied Thebes in their advance on Greece.

Tomorrow, Trafalgar Day, when in I805, a great victory was gained by the British fleet under Nelson over the French and Spanish fleets under Villeneuve; the battle began at noon and ended about five; Nelson, mortally wounded, lived long enough to know the day was won; the victory annihilated the fleets of France and Spain, relieved Britain from seri- ous fear of invasion and ‘placed the British Navy in a position of superiority for a long term of years.

It is a matter of satisfaction to learn from Mr. McLure's question in Parliament that the Province is not to be deprived of its Naval lteadquariers.

Australian sheep may noon pru- duce “furs" for coats and trim- ming. Victorian Minister for Agri- culture Normnn Martin has an- nounced a new techninue for treating sheep pelts to make them in furs resembling beaver. He explained that pelts with only half to one and a half inches of wool, fo. which the farmer usually re- ceived between one and six pennies (lc to 8c), could be made to re- place ordinsry trade furs for trim- mings. and would wear better than ordinary furs. They were not yet on the market, but the pioneers of the new process in Victoria were far in advance of American com- petitors. Ono of the leading manu- facturers had gone abroad to se- cure machinery. and he estimated that. with the employment of 1,- 000 workers, only five per cent need be trained. Mr. Martin also fore- cast making carpet. rugs and hand- bags from sheepskin. - Australian News Letter:
