"Religion," said Mr. Breckenridge, "gives a purâ€" pose to life, and the emotional upsets may be offset by the knowledge that the present life is not teh end, but is only part of a divine plan."

Hollinger Iron Ore Claims in Labrador of Great Importance is plenty of scope for furthr prosâ€" pecting. Alongside this belt on the east is another, smaller, belt of rocks in which the minerals of copper, zinCc and lead, with gold and silver values, have been found. The size and grade of none of these deposits has been deâ€" termined as yet; but they promise to contribute to the wealth of the new mineral district, whose prime imâ€" portance as a source of highâ€"grade iron ore is now assuréd. Quecbec, ‘April 18â€"On»> of the most important mineral discoveries on this continent, indeed in the world, during recent years hasw been made in the central part of the Labrador peninsula, partly in Newfoundland territory and partly in Quebec. It has been dzsvelopâ€" ed quietly by the owners (Hollinger Consolidated and associates) and now has reached the stags when a public announcement can be made. This anâ€" nouncement is in the form of a paper presented today (April 19th) by Dr. J. A. Retty to th2 annual meeting in Quebec of the Canadian Institute of Mining ard Metallurgy. On the Quebec side (to the nortlh) little intensive work has been done as yet; but one of the 15 deposits disâ€" covered so far has been traced for 3900 feet in length, with correspondâ€" ingly substantial width, the av‘érage of samples from it being 62% comâ€" bined iron and manganese. The belt of ironâ€"bearing rocks has besn traced for a length of 350 miles and has a width of 60 miles, so there An iron ore district of large dimenâ€" sions, with ore of exceptionally high grade, lies three hundred miles north of the Gulf of St. Lawrence at Antiâ€" costi. Though prospecting and deâ€" velopment have barely begun, there are. already nine known deposits of ore in the Newfoundland section of the district, and 15 deposits in the adjoining Quebzsc section. One of the deposits on the Newfcundland side, at Sawyer Lake, was partially diamondâ€" drilled last summer. Analyses of the drillâ€"cores showed ore of very high grade, averaging 68.4% iron, with only minute quantities of impurities, The full s‘ze of this deposit is not known, but from the ore exposed at surface it is known to contain at least 30,000 tons per vertical foot of depth. The despest drillâ€"hole was still in ore at 220 feet depth. The average of samples from all nine oreâ€"bodies found up to the present on the Newfoundland side is 63.2% combined iron, manganese.

Employment:â€"The number of men engaged in mining in the Porcupine district continued its downward during 1944. The average number of employees at the mines in 1944 was 6.112. In the preceding â€"year it was 6,570. In 1942 it was 8635. In 1941, the peak year, it was 9,566. The deâ€" creass from the peak year was 3,454 or 25.1% ; the decrease from 1943 was 458 or 7%. The 1944 employment was lower than at any time since 1934, tonnage milled in 1944 was 2,184,874 tons, or 36.5%, from the peak tonnage reached in 1941.

Red Cross officials point out that unless a great number of new blood donors com» forward it will not be possible to mainâ€" tain the monthly quota from Timmins, as the great majority of those who have been donating have now given six donations and so must have a rest. At the same time it is imperative that the donations continue as the need for the blood plasma continues to inâ€" crease. At this stage of the war it would seem like a desperate thing If any wounded soldiers, sailors or airâ€" men died for lack of blood for transâ€" fusions. The answer to the problem, of course, is for new blood donors to come forward.
