Mr. Gardiner, without going into detail, said there had been most exhaustive study in Canada. Can- adian officials had had the ad- vantage of knowledge gained by ex- perts in the United States and oth- er countries before deciding to make petroleum the raw material in Canada's synthetic rubber plant at Sarnia, Ont. I-Ie assured members, however, that this question was receiving continuous study and no informa- tion gained 1n this or other coun- tries was being overlooked. A number of western members said Canada should go into labor- atory experimental work on an ex- tenslve scale to seek out possibil- ities of using farm products for uses apart from food. The experimental farms item of $588,560 was passed in a few min- utes, with Gordon Graydon, Pro- gressive Conservative House lead er, and John Blackmore, New Democracy leader, making one sen- tence speeches paying tribute to operation of that branch. C. H. Castleden (CCF. Yorkton) brought up the subject oi pota- toes. Mr. Gardiner said that. if Canadian farmers were guaranteed a suitable price they would pro- duce enough "to supply the cori- tliient." But. he said, it would play havoc with the potato industry ii the 300.000 farmers in the west grew only one acre of potatoes each. “Whether that is a good thing we live. Nevertheless let us re- solve once more today to make. every effort. to further our Nat- ion's Welfare by gludlv assuming the increased responsibilities which the present conditions impose. By so doing we will hasten the day of victory and do our part towards the building of a better social or- der in which mankind can move,- forward in peace and security and. and spiritual development."

Indicate Nazis Strengthen Ruhr Valley Defences OTTAWA, July 2 — (CP) - A stiffening of enemy opposition to night bomber attacks on industrial centres was indicated today in an R.C.A.F. communique describing Canadian participation in major raids on Elberfeld, the Bochum Gelsenkirchen district and Cologne. The communique gave indirect confirmation to re orts that the ley, object of many attacks during recent weeks. In at least one of last week's ties with night-fighters en route to R.C.A.F. planes shot clown seven enemy fighters during the week. A.ll'. losses were 14 bombers and two fighters. The communique was issued by Air Force Headquarters on behalf of Air Marshal Harold (Gus) Ed- wards, Air Officer Commanding-iii- Chief of the R.C.A.l~‘, overseas. and covered the week ended at noon yesterday. ni-zTrns GUNN — At.

It has been brok- 0n by snow at some epoch in its car- eer but was more distinctly shrub- llke. The bark was strongly over- laid with a cinereous or ashy tint. The leaves from the first were en- tirely pale green and were much more pubescent than those of No. 1. In shape they were more oblong and were rounded, not acuminate, thc tip The flowers were not as showy, the petals being narrowe The ovary was woolly (or pubes- cent.)

THE YEAR WITHOUT A SUMMER An old copy of the Baltimore Sun gives a number of details concern- ing the year 1816. a year commonly known by the title at the head of this Note. There was frost or snow every month of the year as for south as the Ohio and Potomac 31V" ers. Norfolk, Virginia, reported ice on the 16th of May. _ We have clone some grumbling this spring, but were not obliged t0 wear overcoats, and ear-muffs for the spring planting, as farmers did in that disastrous year. In June a freeze occurred and six inches of snow blanketed New Enslflfld- All the vegetables were killed. and many lambs, and thousands of birds perished. Pennsylvania reported five inches of snow. On Juno 21 the weather turrhd right round and for three days ran a temperature of 101 degrees in Massachusetts, but by July 4 the New Englanders took to their over- coats again. Cold in August killed all the corn in that State. and no corn meant no pork in those days. Salt mackerel became the standard diet and so 1816 acquired another name: “Mackerel Year." A little good weather in September and then it was winter again for October brought 12 inches of snow in Massa- chusetts Though from all accounts this continent was hardest hit, it was probably cold everywhere that year. In England," The Times “record- cd:" 1t is a bnnciul year, a visiia lion from Heaven.“ In Sweden prayers were offered all summer, for warmth to save the crops People of a scientific turn of mindblamcd sunspots, which were visible to the naked eve for several days; others surmised that dust in the air. from the great volcanic explosions of i815 in the Dutch East Indies. had cut off the suns rays. Whatever the cause, the discour- agement and poverty caused bv this baneful year contributed to the great migration from the stricken East in 1017, that sought and es- tablished the Miridlc West.

An Idea for a flower show- While on a holiday in Cumbedarid I attended the local flower-show. "fhesc institutions were \'fl'_\' popu- lar in the Old Country at that time amend every village of any consequ- rence annually erected a large tent rjwhich was fitted out with stalls for lthe reception of flowers and vege- was cleared at night. Prizes, such as silverware. were given for the best pansies, bouquet carrots and so oii. The local committee who ran I the show always strove to break the monotony which is apt to settle on such ventures by thinking up some- thing new every year. On the oi;- casion referred to, the new feature was a collection of Wild fruits and berries bv the school children. The exhibit that took first prize was a ‘large shallow box, divided into com- Ipartmcnts, the whole being painted idark green.
