tee To Defeat The Unequal Rights

to work for further protective leg
islation for women in regard to
equal pay for equal work, ade-

In working for these goals, the

Chicks Flying Nowadays

ever before.
Put aboard planes in the usual

ing 100 chicks, they can reach any
point in the United States within the
72-hour limit during which newly
hatched chick is self sustaining.
A typical hatchery in Windsor,
Mo-, which ranks with Iowa, Indi-
ana and Ohio as primary producing
areas in the nation, has shipped
nearly 10000 day-old chicks to the
East coast this season.
Air shipments are in no way an ex-

have been flown from the United
States to South America. This is the
first season, however, that ship

Canada Leads as
Source of Uranium.
Belgian Congo Also Listed;
Ottawa Takes Mine.

OTTAWA. - Canada Is one of
the largest sources of uranium, the
raw material on which new atomic
bombs are based, officials said re-
Gently.
The Belgian Congo Is also an
important source and some uran-
ium Is found in the United States,
although additional quantities were
obtained from Canada for work
conducted in the United States.

said that Canada had taken over the
Eldorado Mining and Smelling COM
pany ''in order to guarantee gov
ernment supply Of uranium :. raw
material on which this new source
Of power depends" and was con-
structing a pilot plant as part Of the
atomic bomb development project.
Mr.. Howe said the announcement
by President Truman of the first
use of the atomic bomb probably
twill 60 down in history as one Of
the most important scientific and
military announcements ever made
by the head of great nation"
The real significance of the an
nouncement, he said, is that "un-
believably large amounts Of en-
ergy !. +. can now be made avail
able for practical use."
Canada, in cooperation with the
United States and Great Britain,
has undertaken to establish 10000
acre pilot plant for further inves-
LEGATIONS near Petawawa military
