N. B. Fox Ranchers Await results of New type breeding

FREDERICTON. N 1a.. April 1'1 ,(CPi~Practicully all the larger ranchers who have been ex ri- meiiting with new type Of 0X6! are awaiting the results of the breeding season this spring with greater interest than usual, George F. itlnclxzod, provincial fox field- inaii, stated today on his return from tlle western pnrt of the prov- ince where he had been visiting the ranchers in Westmorland and Albert Counties.

In the past few years ranchers have been brectling and cross-breed- ing all types of foxes in the hope establishing new varieties and this year they are looking for further success iilong this line. Mr. Mac- Lmd stated. It is a little too early vcl to know if any new varieties liave been developed this year. as tlic llittjfllll)’ oi‘ the pups are too yOllIlg to be taken out o1 the nests for examination. .

The newest addition to the new type of pclt is the ring-neck blue

will doubtless be varieties in the iwhlte marking cf the pelts.

Said a oabby as we drove through a pllg of jagged‘ glass:-

"Ws would have cursed plenty If we had to do that a year ago. I guess we must be getting tougiil" Authoritative sources sold at least 400 planes were cantiiiuou-"ly attack- ing for efght hours, declaring, "they ust wouldn't have harl fields to fly rom or room to fly if there had been any more,"

Notables Among The Dead

Nalables among the dead in- cluded Lord‘ Auckland, prominent amateur wild-animal trainer.

The Evening Standard, publish- ed by the Aircraft Production Min- ister, Lord Beaverbrcok, declared “the new assault may be a pie- ludc to attempted invasion" and urged the nation to iurii out "tanks to meet their tanks; guns to pierce their armor."

The Air and Home Security Min- istries announced tersely that cas- ualties were “hcavy" and damage “considerable.”

Behind that announcement lay

this picture:- A pail of smoke still hung over all London. I-Ioselines twined

through miles of wrecked and char- red buildings.

Over many of them the flag flopped defiantly.

Morgues were filled with the dead, and hospitals with the injured. At least eight hospitals were smashed by direct hits of large bombs.

Comedian Soldiers Killed

Same Canadian soldiers were kill-

ed and others injured; their names

were not announced because next of kin have yet to be notified by the

Ottawa authorities.

Thousands of persons athered to watch firemen work rig on blazes in the shells of what had been stores, churches and apart- merits.

One gatheringfls curiosity turned

to horror as a six-storey wall top-

led, The spectators fled, but when he dust settled the firemen were still at work.

At one of the bombed hcspitals,

a surgeon nmd just completed a

delicate operation, extracting a

piece of glass from a man's eye

when a. bomb tore down the door

o! the operating room and_ scat-

tered instruments over the floor.

Oddly, no one was hurt.

Of the numerous churches da-

destroyed, one dated‘ from the 14th

century.

Two men were dug unhurt from

the wreckage of a shelter where

they had been buried for 12 hours.

"What time is it?" asked one.

’ When told he remarked‘:- “Bllmey, it's too late fnr a drink." Several firemen died when a

bomb hit the foot of the high lad-

der on which they were fighting flames.

One post wlliere a German bom-

ber was shot dowrl—cne of the six

bagged during the night-a police- man rescued a German flier wlm was dangling by his parachute from the roof of a tall building. This air- man and his three comp ons were hustled off to jail, but had to be moved to another almost 1m- mcdiately vihen a time bomb fell

A number of overseas troops were in a club damaged by a. direct hit. Same were entombed. others thrown into the street. One Canadian who fell 40 feet was unharmed.

A number of ambulance drivers were killed when their first-aid de- pot wfls hit. ‘

A storage depot was wrecked, but the furniture stored there from No. l1 Downing Street-residence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer- was saved int-act.

A heavy toll of death was feared when a bomb fcll into the court- yard of a workers’ apartment house. A surface shelter then collapsed. trapping many,

In u suburban district near here a German bomber fell, killing its crew of four, a demolkfied building trapped persons in a basement. Some wore rescued, but other; were still buried alive.
