THE BOARD OF TRADE PASSES {Asks the Ontario Government to Expire and Develop the Peat Re- | sources of the Province, The 1 TWO RESOLUTIONS. { | food and fuel questions were under discussion at n meeting of the {Board of Trade {night and the solutions, {| One resolution urged the Food {Control Board to prohibit entirely ithe consumption of bacon or hams, | gree n, cured or smoked, in Canada | during the period of the war, or until { such time as the food problem has been solved; that a definite limit be placed on the amount of beef con- sumed by an individual within a given time; that such other compul- SOTy measures that might be re- garded as necessary to conserve oth- er essential foodstuffs be also taken, The other resolution urged the Ontario Government to take imme- diate steps to explore and develop the peat resources of eastern and western Ontario In addition to these two important matters, a grist of routine business was also transacted. Francis King, president, presided, amd there was rather a slim attendance owing to the inclement weather, The treat of the evening was to have been given by R. Easson Burns, held on Tuesday board passed two re- question of income tax, was such a small because of the attendance, members, it was decided to have Burns deliver his address at next meeting on Mareh 6th, marks the annual meeting board. Mr. the of the Resolutions Passed, Davis brought up the reso were passed by a Following are the reso The Elmer and they mous vote lutions: "That, whereas Ontario has been | and still is, entirely dependent upon the United States coal areas, for her| supplies of both anthracite and. bi- tuminous coal, and whereas suffering, inconvience and financial! loss has been occasioned by the coal shortage, which hs existed during the présent winter, and whereas an during the coming winter, there being any source of supply| within the provinee on which we can draw, and .whereas this condition | may be repeated at any time that the United States may find it neces-| sary to embargo our coal supply, therefore; be it resolved, that we do! urge the Ontario province, those in the west, so that some na- tive fuel supply may be available at the earliest possible date.'

Kingston. ada must supply a large part of the food required, making the conserva-, tion of aM possible food imperative, and whereas the food controller's] report for voluntary saving on the part of our citizens at large, has failed to produce saving of the es- degree, there be it resolved that we do urge the Food Control Board | to first prohibit entirely the con-| sumption of bacon or hams, "green, cured, or smoked, in Cdnada during the period of the war, or until such! time as the food problem has been solved. "Second, to place a definite limit on the amount of beef consumed by an individual within a given time, "Third, to take such other com-| pulsory measures as may in their judgment be necessary to conserve other essential foodstuffs, and that copies of this resolution be forward- ed forthwith to the Food Centrol Board and Minister of Agriculture for Ontario, also to other Boards of Trade, with the request that prompt| action be taken to support the reso- lution." Introduced Resolutions. Elmer Davis introduced both the food and fuel resolutions. In speak- ing regarding the food resolution he stated that Yhere was no need of him to refer to the need for conservation. He felt that to accomplish what had | been aimed at there 'would have to be more conservation among the civilian population. He had been travelling extensively during the past two months, and he did not think that the voluntary system of conservation in the homes was bringing the.results that should be produced. He believed, however, that the regulations of the recent Food Controller were being adhered 1 to in hotels, restaurants and all pub- lic eating houses. On one occasion he took occasion to ask a conductor on a C. IP. R. dining car as to con- ditions so far ms he had been able to observe. The conductor stated that it was his opinion that the people. were eating more. Some ate far more bacon one day because they "BE PREPARED For Stormy Weather. Beware of a Cold. ..| had been deprived of it the day be- = 'fore. He had run across some people food regulations. He felt that only way to conserve food was to have regulations enforced saying "thon shalt not." He recognized the fact that there would be difficulties met with in the enforcement, but he i] believed that measures could be in- §| troduced which would bring the de- ti sired. results." "Our fathers lMved without bacon as it is now termed, Ei and we dan do the same," added the speaker. R. Easson Burns said he would be red t0 go further than Mr. vis, and would ask: that pork n any form be prohibited =| Robert Meek stated that the at- tention of Dr. Creelman, Deputy Minister of Agriculture for Ontario, should be drawn to the matter. He poinfed out that it was all right to pass laws, but the real importance was in having them enforced. The =| present 'fuel shortage had shown what the people could do when they appealed to. Under a fuel con- troller the people | had learned to : sonserve in his resolution: regand- moving =iihg the fuel question. Mr. Davis stated thal in the olden. days almost whe had prepared an address on the | but as there| and | fact that the question | lis one of vital importance to all the! which | much | even more serious shortage may exist | without | Government "to take immediate steps to explore and| develop the peat resources of this! both those in the east and | and whereas Can-| who did not know anything on lepended on a wood sup- v coal was needed.

Stephen recalled that when he was a bey in Sedtiand his parents used peat for fuel. Of course Scotland did not experience such a cold winter Canada, but he re- garded it as excellent fuel, and was greatly interested in all the experi- ments and discussions over peat that was taking place at the present time. Mr. Davis declared that there should be sbme source of supply for fuel, and that people should not be made to sulfer everything ply, but depended 2 Owing 1 curing coal, tovernmen Ost ne He in as Other Business, The board was asked to endorse a resolution from the Board of Trade at Nanaimo, British Columbia, call- ing for the formation of a commis- gion to investigate and control in- surance. Action on the matter was deferred A létter was received from R. J. Bushell, asking the warm support and co-operation of every member for the Kingston Industrial Fair this year. The members present voiced their warm appreciation of the work of Mr. Bushell for the way in which he had boosted the fair, and brought it to such a high standard. 1t was agreed that the fa was a great asset to the merchants, and that Mr. Bushell and the men at the back of this show were deserving of the warmest praise for the work they had accomplished.
