Deadly Explosive Team Helped Allies Develop RDX
Five Britons, including scientist F C Lewis, died in an arsenal blast while filling a 15 inch shell with 50 pounds of RDX. The Ministry of Supply said the group’s work, though tragic, aided Britain by enabling later production of the secret explosive. Cmdr P M Long and three others were named among the dead. RDX, short for Research Department Formula X, emerged in Canada and the United States as scientists in London had pursued it for 16 years, succeeding in 1939.

An editorial note from The Farmers Advocate mocks the idea of using horse hair for wartime gear while praising Canada’s shift to mechanized warfare. It cites the drop in horse utility, yet notes two bags of mane and tail hair could still support firepower and supplies. The piece then shifts to Canada’s Oil Seeds Investigations, detailing how linseed and other oils are repurposed for industrial use, and notes a 1943 rise in oilseed crops including flax and soybeans.
