He stated that warm weather and rain during the past three days and nights great- ly aided in ripening the crop. There are approximately 000 an-cs of cucumbers in the Pro- Vince. he added, mostly made up from small lots running from half an acre to three acres. The cucum- bers received at the plant yester- rlav came-from most districts ex-

To facilitate cleaning. a linoleum floor is being laid over the former hardwood floors.

At Central Royalty where two new structures have been under construction by the County COW atruct-ion Co., all men have been put to the finishing of one of the new schools in order that it will be ready in time. This, together with the former school, will be used until the second building can be completed.

It is expected -that pupils at Winsloe will find their new school ready for them when they return to their studies. Like the other two-room schools under construc- tion. Winsloe school will haVG electricity. running water. and In oil furnace. In addition to the two class rooms. there are rest. rooma. teaehers' room and lunch room.

orrnwa. AuB- 11-(CPI,-Re; crulting for Canadala new 'peace brigade rolled on today with indi- cations lahlt total volunteers may have reached the estimated 5.000 men required for the force to. be trained for Korean or other action.

Army headquarters reported that up to last night 4.400 men had volunteered. Of these 1.324 had been accepted or were being pro- cessed and documentation was be- ing speeded.

Recruiting activity was heavy again today. There was no estim- am of the total of today's vrlun- teers. but it is believed the flow mightibe sufficient to bring the over-all total close to the 5.000 mark. The'drlve officially began Wednesday.

Many of those already signed have arrived or are en route to training camps. Others have been given a few days to complete per- sonsl affairs before signing on the dotted line.

Recruiting will not halt when the 5,000 men have been raised for the special force. Defence Minis- ter Claxton said that it will con- tinue "until we have enough re: placements for ht least a year. but did not indicate how many additional men this would require.

Island cadet Enjoys Banff'Thrllls

Banif National Cadet camp Aug. 9-.As one of the 150 specially selected master cadets, Cadet Capt Gerald- Birt of 134 Upper Queen Street, is now sharing the thrills of three weeks holiday camping in the Rockies as a reward for out- standing servlce with his corps for the past three or four years.

The Banff cadet Camp, now be- ing held for the third year. is tru- ly a "reward" camp. Along with -his new-found friends who repre- sent. cadet corps from all parts of the Dominion. Capt. Blrt is devot- ing about two-thirds of his camp life to holiday activities which make Banff a world famous resort centre. One of the biggest thrills for every cadet is the chair-lift: ride to the observatitm point 6900 feet high on the side of Mount Norquay.

The main camp is located about 5 miles from the centre of town on the road to Lake Mtnnnwanka. Directly beneath towering Iocky cliffs of Cascade Mountain the regular lines of tents are nestled in fir trees which surround the parade square where specially adapted military training is carried out.

For one week of the three. ca- dets move out to the bivounc camp on Cascade River where training consists mainly of fishing. moun- tain ell-mblng. exploring, wood craft and fieldcruft.

Farm Prices

OTTAWA, Aug. lvl - (OP) - A further rise in livestock prices. to- gether wlth higher prices for pc- tatoes. poultry and em contrib- uted to a substantial Increase in the index number of farm prices of agricultural products in June. the Bureau of statistics reported today.

Higher prices during June were recorded for all Provinces as com- pared with the previous month. and were above those a your ear- ltsr in each Province except Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotts. Quo- bec and British Columbia. ,

fnci-cued prices for livestock and potatoes outweighed last year's higher prices for grains. dairy pro- ducts, poultry and eggs.

The index for all Canada. on the basis was-yo equals 100. was 258.2 in June. compared with 240.6 for May and 259.7 to: June int year. The index has shown a steady rise from 339.8 in January.

Indexes for June follows. with figures for the corresponding month last year in brackets: Prince Id- ward Island 207.8 (210.5): Novn Scott: IUD (Ill.9); wick 210.5 (319.8): 80.0 (200.0); Ontario 290.! (900.0): Illn- ttobs was (2017); suketolmrsn 145.! (NM); Alba 210! (888.1); nrittsh Columbia 068.1 (ms).

'SOME'WT-IERE IN KOREA: The spotlight is focussed strongly on ground forces in this bitterly- fought Korean campaign and right- ly so for it was essentially an in- l.'antryman's war. But the job be- ing done by the air three is not far behind the stubborn efforts of the army.

lt.is the American Fifth Airforce out here that directs operations with an Australian Mustang squad- ron and a squadron of RAF Sun- derland flying boats operating with it as Commonwealth contrib- utions to the combat air strength. Right from the beginning, Amer- ican jet fighters have been operat- ing practically every day. At. first it was thought that the F-80 Shoot- ing Star. which can hit 600 mph. was too fast for striking targets in close support to the ground troops. But this idea is now being dis- credited and the F-80 is coming out with high honors. It has stood the test of a real war much bet- ter than was expected.

To cope with the high speed, which does restrict it pilot's abil- ity to pick up a target quickly, various dodges were devised. with the most successful one being a ”doubleplay" system.

Radio contact teams on the ground would,talk to the jets overhead along the front and dir- ect them to targets and at the same time little observation planes would hover over the battle area also directing the F-805 to tar- gets by radio or relaying messages from the ground.

This F-80 is the forerunner of the F-86 jet. which the RCAF will be getting.

The Americans flew Mustang fighters as well as the Australians and this propellor-driven plane proved its worth again and again. Like the F-80 it carries rockets and machine guns.

If the North Korean airforce

had anything modern in the jet line to put into the sky - and

Air Force Doing Fine. J ob in Korean Conflict

(special to The Guudlan by Boas Munro)

there was no evidence of this when this was written - the Mustangs probably would be easy prey to the enemy. But without this threat they were out over the battlelines in all kinds of weather and also ranging well behind the lines. What used to be called medium bombers - the B-26': - but which are now called light bombers as attack aircraft develop larger. were effectively used. At times when the going was particularly sticky on the front these bombers were even employed in close sup- port of the army. Then there is the superfort - the B-29. This used to be called a heavy bomber and it certainly looks the part. but again it is being dwarfed by new planes coming out and the air- force rather humorously refers to it now as a "medium bomber." This is the aircraft that carried out raids far up into northern. Korea and attacked bridges, rail- way yards and supply concentra- tions far beyond the reach of the mediums or the fighters.

Losses Negliglbld

As the campaign continued, tuiti- aircraft opposition to the B-29's increased but losses so far have been practically negligible. Finally, the naval airforce of both the American and Royal navy have been doing exceptional ser- vice. They take off from carriers off shore and go inland to raise Cain with communications.

it is a real armada of planes at- raigned against the North Koreans and it is puzzling why these air operations have not paid Otff more quickly in a slow-up of the enemy advance.

I think when the full story is known that the impact of the air will be impressive; it cannot help but be a big determining factor if and when the tide turns for good.
