RUSHING WHEAT Heaviest movement of wheat ever attempted from Western Canada is under way. Fleets of both countries are assembling at the Lakehead to get some 300,000,000 bushels down the lakes before freeze up, due in about nine weeks. The East is to be denuded of cars for this purpose. U.S. rolling stock now in Canada also will be used. Movement of coarse grain to the Lakehead will be held up pending this rush of wheat I which will go overseas through every available port on the Atlantic. It is required to feed the starving in liberated countries and is so urgently needed that passenger train services may give way to grain-laden freight cars. All regular and extra crews will be pressed into service, and at the lakes head a special government director will give priority to labor required to get these ships loaded «[na j^gp cargoes moving eastward.

LAST SCHOONER SUNK BY U-BOAT Washington, Oct. 20— (AP)—the last of the six-masted schooners to sail the seas went to the. bottom of the South Atlantic nearly two years ago, the victim of a German submarine. Sinking of the schooner Star of Scotland November 13, 1942, while en route from Cane Town, South Africa, to Paranagua, Brazil, was disclosed to-day by the War Shipping Administration in connection with the awarding of its combat bar with star to Capt. Constantin A. Flink, Costa Mesa, Calif., master, and Harry J. Carmichael, Saint John, N.B., who served as an able seaman. The Germans threatened to take Flink aboard the submarine as a prisoner, but he talked them out of it by saying survivors in a whale-boat would be unable to make the African shore 750 miles away without him_____ -----1 BEACH 1,000 MARK On Saturday, October 21, H.M. lgerine minesweeper, Myrmidon, ill be launched at Toronto, the €0th combat vessel built and raunched in Canada during the war [and the 1,000th vessel, including al! classes.

NINE SHIPS SLIP DOWN WAYS TO OPEN VICTORY LOAN DRIVE Vessels Leave Slips Across Country on Telephone Signals of Young Vets Ottawa, Oct. 21. — (CP) — Prime Minister Mackenzie King to-day offered the example of returned veterans "as a fresh source of inspiration" for a successful Victory Loan campaign. Motioning to nine servicemen repatriates who participated in a unique long-distance ship launching ceremony on Parliament Hill, Mr. King declared: 1000th Hull O 'Their duties, which have been far more onerous than any of ours, are already done. Let us honour them not only in the ceremony of' the day, but in our answer to the challenge of the Seventh Victory Loan. Let us prove that we are determined to support, to its conclusion-, the work they have so nobly carried on." Navy Minister Macdonald said that Canada had now launched her 1,000th hull in this war. He added that many of the nation's 580 war-craft came from the Dominion's yards. Finance Minister Ilsley said he knew the nine veterans would want to "warn Canadians against the expectation of a quick and easy conclusion to the European struggle." The great green plaza before the House of Parliament was the focal point of the inauguration ceremonies of Canada's $1,300,000,000 Seventh Victory Loan. Young veterans, back from the battlefronts and using telephones, assigned relatives or sweethearts to launch nine war and supply ships on ways across Canada—ships possibly destined for service in the Pacific. Shirley Temple The veterans, representing all three services and the nine provinces, will be welcomed back to Canada by the pretty, young movie miss, Shirley Temple, speaking on behalf of the Dominion's school boys and girls. The loan itself has already been launched among the members of the armed forces overseas and civilians will start subscribing in a three-week campaign, beginning Monday, for a minimum objective of $200,000,000 above that of the last loan when a total of more than $1,407,576,650 was collected. The long-distance launching ceremony will see a veteran from each • province instruct a member of his family or his sweetheart to send ships down the ways. The crowd will listen into the telephone conversations through a public address system.
