consider ed it a matter Of groat in conservation of a groat to tho food produotfon Where it vas adopted in Ontario last It was not a it was not gen erally adopted as it caused con fusion with rail ways hut Is to mako it Dominion wide and with Iho adoption of Idea by United States there is no doubt hut that it would bo a measure of economy and utility Messrs Jackson Keith and Pearson spoko on after which following resolu tion moved by Mr Harvey and scoonded by Mr J was carried unanimously saving of day light has resulted in all loading- countries in view of tho present situation with rospoot to shortage of coal and electric current and tho effect of on tho Industrial activity of the country including manufacture of war material And whereas outlook for future la equally serious Therefore bo it resolved That practical moans should ho adopted to relievo the situation and thnroforo this board to roaffirm its en dorsement of daylight sav ing as a dominionwide measure and strongly urges Federal Government as a war to pass an act to become operative not later than third Monday in March not as an effective moth oof of conserving those vital commodities and of promoting food production Tho subjcot of Peat was then introduced by tho President who called on Mr P W Pearson to mooting He spoke of manufacture and use of I Peat in Canada and quantity of information that ho hod on tho subject from Gov ernment sources Ho had no doubt but that European method could ho employed on the Holland Marsh Peat with success It had boon tried a short dis tance from Ottawa at ton giving results as fuel Dr who is an authority on subject states that there are eight million tons of fuel in peat bogs of Ontario which is equal in heal units to five million tons of an thracite Government has spent large sums of money in vestigating this matter but up to present this fuel supply is lying dormant while people are suffering with the cold He stales that the peal beds within a stones throw of us contain tho highest por of heal units of any in Canada said it was a shame that wo should be depending upon our neighbors for fuel when we have an abun dant supply at our doors It was significant that since Nevmar- has taken the matter up four of Toronto papers have had lengthy articles commending the enterprise Fuel was scarce last year it is worse this year and it looks as if would be still worse next year Now is the time for the Ontario Government to act It lias been tho custom in this let private enter prise exploit various schemes and after a while Govern ment along and pays a big sum to obtain control Hero something of public uso for the Government to take into its hands manufacture the public utility and dispose of it to the people at a price slightly above cost which would bo a good thing for the Province Dr Clark told the experience of some men regarding the manufacture of peat after which the following resolution moved by Mr Pearson and seconded by Mr was carried unanimously Be it resolved that in view of tho present dire suffering in Province of Ontario through the scarcity of fuel and in view of the fact that the holds little promise of from the United Slates supply that the Boards of Trado in this Province memorialize the Ontario Legisla ture at its present Session to immediate action to develop the peat bogs that abound believing that If It does so the problem of fuel supply for our citizens will bo solved President staled that ar rangements had been made for reception of a delegation by the Ontario Government on the Peat question next and asked how many would en deavor lo Al least 20 immediately responded Messrs Keith Clark and Qufmj were a Transportation Committee lo make all arrange ments for special on the Metropolitan and sale

for over an hour on the work of Iho Re source Committee of tho Prov ince and the stimulation it hail been to endeavor last year the need for increas ed production is far greater cd the of Trade for previous efforts and made many suggestions for the future No other Province in the Domin ion got together on Industry Ag riculture and Education like On tario The British fled Cross campaign of the past three years raised 5020000 in Ontario whilo all tho rest of Canada nly raise one million dollars and it Was because this Committee was at bad of it branch es present plan is to have groups of conferences to lay plans for Patriotic Purpose at several convenient points Civ ilization is hanging in tho bal ance and it is not likely that the War will be years yet Tho winning of the War depends largely- on food question Keeping up tho people has much to do with the victory of arms Lack of food was the cause of the both Russia and Italy At the lime the people of France are living from ban I to mouth One food ship out of every fourteen going across the Atlantic is sunk by the enemy The people of Britain on ra tions It is difficult to obtain necessities of life meat tea is up to the in Canada and the to provide food There are three lines for us to observe Conserve Food substitution Produce and especially wheat and bacon which aro most easily shipped Drastic impo sitions may bo long He suggested that a good slogan would bo Newmarket lo Feed Itself Every man should produco his food supply Potatoes and beans the foods most profitable There is no thing lo the place of wheat so well An acre will feed people Newmarket requires acres or bushels next year Every family should a hag of beans The lighting spirit must be kept up by grow ing lots of food at borne other wise the bands of the Govern ment will be weakened for pro- moling Iho War Many illustra tions were given of what owns and cities had done last year and suggestions made for Newmarket to try Pupils of both High and Public Schools must be encouraged There is ho heller educational work for a town boy than to spend a few months in the summer on the farm People must do their production stunt before their amusements Manpower must be organized to help the farm and townspeople must give all the help possible in seeding and harvest it is a very serious matter production must come from the- towns and cities as they contain every two people lo one on the farm Even girls must not disregard the call Ho hoped to hear a good account of Newmarket for the Coming summer At the conclusion of the ad mirable address a vote
