War Services Association
Has Interesting Meeting
The Clinton War Services', Associa-
tion assembled in the Council Cham-
ber Thursday evening, November 25th
at 7.80 Four members of the execu-
tive and eleven members of the Assoc-
iation were present; the president as
chairman. "+
Minutes of the last regular meeting
held February 12th, 1943 were read
and approved.
Mr. Frank Fingland, Chairman of
the finance committee presented the
statement of the receipts and ex-
penditures for the Recreation Club
Rooms which indicated a balance of
only $20.26 on hand. Mr. Fingland's
statement paved the way for open dis
cussioin relative to' the funds requir-
ed for the recreation Club to carry on
for the next season.
Mrs. R. H. Johnson gave her us-
ual interesting report of the knitt-
ing committee. This committee has
delivered goods to about ninety fam-
ilies for delivery' to their boys in uni-
form. Goods have been sent to many
places in England, also Africa and
Labrador. Mrs. Johnson's Committee
at this time needs funds to purchase
more yarn which is now available.
The treasurer Mr. Gordon Miller
read a,concise and interesting nate-
talent of the receipts and expenditures
of the Association. Since December
1942, to September 15, 1943 the As-
sociation has received and distributed
$3,998.381. Main donations were to
the Canadian Aid to Russia Fund
$1,588.80 to Chinese Relief $1,351.90,
to the Greek Relief Fund $503.50.
Various other donations were trade
for purchase of yarn, to Red Cross
Red Sheild, Recreation Hall for
armed forces, and to date there is a
small balance on hand of $15.79.
Considerable discussion ensued re-
garding the best method of raising
funds almost immediately required
for the purchase of yarn and the
up -keep of the Recreation Hall for
men in uniform. Practically every
member present offered suggestions
but the general consensus of opin.
ion was that a dance, bingo, sale of
tickets for a draw, and general sub-
scription would bring the greatest re-
turns. •
It was moved by Gordon Miller, se-
conded by Rred Ford, that a dance
bingo and dra vrbe held in the town
hall the evening of December 29th.
and plans made for subscriptions to
the association. Carried.
It was agreed at this meeting that
(the Lions Club would organize the
draw, the Legion be responsible for
the Bingo, and the firemen put on the
dance.
It was moved by George Jefferson,
Seconded by Gordon Miller, that Mrs.
Thomas Morgan, Mrs. G. M. Counter
and Mrs. N. W. Miller be a committee
to organize some form of a Tea-room
Service for the Recreation Club roosts
specifically for the men in the armed
forces. Carried,
Mr. F. Fingland moved the ad-
journment.

Fo115 of Dehydrated
Food Products
In a recent report by the Agricu.l-
turat Supplies. Board seven Canadian
plants have processed vegetables front
the 1942 crop which have been de-
livered to the armed forces in Cana-
da and shipped to Britain in the fol-
lowing quantities, dried weight—pota-
toes, 1,158 tons; cabbage, 76 tons, car-
rots, 78 tons; onions 43 tons, and
turnips, 46 tons, in addition to about
300 tons (dried weight) of onions de-
hydrated at one plant under direct
contract with the British Ministry of
Food.
Canadian egg powder to the amount.
of 12,861,641 pounds was shipped by
the Special Products Board to the
British Ministry of Food during the
year ended March 31, 1943. Since
January 1, 1943, the official bacterio-
logical analysis of all egg powder be
ing exported to Britain has been, and
is, the responsibility of the Division
of Bacteriology and Dairy Research,
Dominion Department of Agriculture.
Line to Steep Rock
Goes Into Operation
Reaching into Ontario's northwest
hinterland to speed the' development
of vast new mineral resources, Hyd-
ro's new 110 kv, transmission line,
covering a distance of 120 miles be-
tween Port Arthur and Steep Rock
Iron Mines Limited, went into opera-
tion (Sunday).
Ranking as an outstanding war
time achievement, the construction of
this line by the Hydro Electric Power'
Commission of Ontario was complet-
ed within a period of six months. Tra-
versing typical Northern Ontario bush
country the line will provide power
to operate the pumps which will drain
an estimated hundred billion gallons
of water, at a rate of 300,000 gal-
lons 'a minute, from Steep Rock lake.
In addition, it will supply power to
the Ontario -Minnesota Pulp and Pap-
er Company, Limited in lieu of power
forinerly generated bythe company's
own plant which had to be shutdown
before Steep Rock lake could be
drained.
The line, with associated terminal
switching equipment, was constructed
at a cost of approximately $1,500,000
and is of twin wood pole construction,
of western cedar, thus alleviating to
a great extent the war -time scarcity
of steel. Power conductors were ob-
tained froin certain line sections in
the Niagara system which have de-
creased in importance with the devel-
opment of the Connnission's eastern
sources of supply.
This project will materially aid in
the development ofa particularly
high grade iron ore which will be of
vital importance to the United Na-
tion's war effort. After the war, it
is expected that this ore will find a
ready market in the production of
high grade steels.
Of more than passing interest to
municipalities in the Thunder Bay
system, are the tests now being con-
ducted in the United States to deter-
mine both the advisability and feasi-
bility of producing iron sponge by the
use of hydrogen gas. An adequate
supply of low cost power is available
for the production of this gas by the
electrolytic decomposition of water,
and the economic soundness of such a
plan is reported to be under consider-
ation.
