The following despatch today from south Porcupine should be prefaced by the note that part of the Home Front work of the Salvation Army is the supplying of wool for the knitting of comforts for the soldiers overseas. The money for the wool comes from the Home Pront funds and is not provided by the government as a war service, though that is what it is. ‘After the Army buys the wool the Salvation Army Red Shield workers knit the articles. In addition to this there are certain individuals and organizations that contribute knitted articles to the Army for transfer overseas. It is likeâ€" ly that the sweater referred to below was the work of the Red Shield workâ€" ers here, seeing that it bore the Army name. On the other hand it might easily have been one of the contributed articles. In any event it shows the sort of goods and service supplied from the Home Front to the lads overseas. The Salvation Army Home Front work is worthy of your fullest support.

Another product stressed by Mr. Reeves was veneer or plyâ€"wood. Douâ€" glas fir and yellowâ€" birch were the woods chiefly used for plyâ€"wood, but Mr. Reeves said that white spruce and pine could be used to advantage. This veneer or plyâ€"wood was made by a new process where synthetic resin was feaâ€" tured with hydraulic pressure. The new veneer or plywood could be made harder than aluminum and lighter in weight. The United States navy had tested the material and found it valuâ€" able. <â€"It was now largely used in airâ€" plane construction Its commercial and industrial uses were very great. In Gerinany it had been used to large exâ€" Ceilulose material was available at the Smooth Rock Falls plant of the Abitibi Co., Mr. Reeves said. Cordite, artificial glass and rayon materials were made from cellulose. There was a particularly large field for artificial glass, he said. It was used on all arâ€" moured vehicles and in airplane conâ€" struction, battleships, etec. It was much superior to ordinary glass. It did not shatter like ordinary glass and had conâ€" siderably more resistance to the force of explosives, etec. It would withstand a 150â€"lb bomb at 8 ft. distance. In A.RP. work, is was immensely better than glass. For commercial and indusâ€" trial purposes the qualities that made it so valuable for war usage suggested that it would to large extent replace ordinary glass. I At the meeting of the Timmins Inâ€" dustrial Suryey Committee: yesterday in the committee room of the town hall, a chief feature was the address of Mr: E. H. Reeves, of the Abitibi Power Paper Co., who spoke on products that were made from wood. He touched partiâ€" cularly on the wood products, the raw material for which was available here. His address was a most interesting and valuable one, and the meeting voted him a resolution of thanks for the large amount of information given and the number of suggestions for possible new industries here. Whether at the pre«â€" sent time it will be possible or practical to have any of (these industries estabâ€" lished here will be further work for the committee, but even if war conditions preclude the establishment at any early date of any of the industries suggested, they all have valuable suggestion for the future.

The chief difficulty holding back expansion of the lumber industry is the price ceiling and the labor shortage. The lumber industries of Timmins wished to hold a meeting for the further discusâ€" |sion of the questionnaire, and Mr. De Wolf felt that his committee should deâ€" fer its report until after this meeting. The Survey committee agreed. It was decided to hold the next meeting of the Survey Committee after the lumber industries hold their meeting. Mr. Deâ€" Wolf will notify the chairman and the latter will call the meeting. Those present at the Survey Comâ€" mittee meeting vesterday were:â€"Counâ€" Eyre, C. G. Kemsley, W. H. Pritchard, J. P.

On behalf of the subâ€"committee on power Mr. J. P. Burke submitted a reâ€" port. The report pointed out first of all that all use of power to new custoâ€" mers in excess of 25 horseâ€"power was subject to the approval of the Power Controller. That meant that before any new industry could be supplied with power in excess of 25 h.p., formal appliâ€" cation would have to be made to the Power Controller.

According to the hotel‘s own figures there was a twoâ€" year supply on hand and that appeared n unreasonable amount The stateâ€" ment of one official of the company that they were simply "buving on a risâ€" ing market" brought out the point that this was the very thing that the reguâ€" lations sought to prevent, the idea beâ€" ing taq give all equal chance in the disâ€" tribution. _ "Poor people," said the mggistrate, "are not able to buy on rising markets," as to the amount of tea used by the hotel in past years, due to defective stock room system, which since had been fully remedied. He held that the offence was really a technical one and a nominal fine would serve the purpose. The hotel had given every assistance to the Board in the matter and had hidâ€" den nothing. Before giving his decision Magistrate Atkinson heard Dean Kester, K.C., soliâ€" citor for the hotel company. Mr. Kesâ€" ter suggested that in view of the diffiâ€" culty the hotel had in securing delivery of tea, a February order not being itlled until May the hotel was justified in keeping a good supply on hand. He argued that this case differed from many others, as the hotel was acting on behalf of the public. The buying was done in this case to aneet public wants and not private needs. He also implied that there was some confusion At police court on Tuesday Magisâ€" trate Atkinson announced his decision in the charge against the Empire hotel on a charge by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board for alleged tea hoarding.
