Motorists Pleased As Gasoline Price War Cuts Prices In London, Ont.

:4

LONDON. 0nt., Oct. 21-(CP)- Motorists flocked joyously during the week-end to London service station! which have cut gasoline pricel as much as eight cents a gallon.

But no one else seemed happy about A gasoline price war which has continued since September. Regular gasoline now is selling at some stations at 32 cents a gal- inn (regularly 40) and premium gas at 34 (regularly 42).

Some dealers have indicated they will cease operations until the matter is settled. Others, operating at a deficit, have re- duced staff.

On the other hand, those sell- ing gas at the lowest prices re- ported such a rush of business they have had to take on extra help. Cars lined up for blacks Saturday at a few stations.

Bccausc dealers pay 33.6 cents a gallon as their general basic price. those with the deepest cuts are selling at a loss. All dealers agreed the price war was helping no one.

But there was no hint of settle- mont.

The price war started late in September when Sun Oil Com- pany dropped its price from 42 to 39 cents a gallon. No reason was announced. Shell and Mc- Coll-Frontenac followed suit,

A week later the independent dealers Joined R. L. Gilbert, owner of the Maple City Gas Company. dcclarcd he would stay under the big companies if he had to give gasoline away. He set his prices at 32 and 34 vcents. The response caused traffic jams at his station.

Next in line was Les Jones. White Rose Alenlar. who dropped his prices to 36 and 38 cents, Dealers maintaining regular pric- es began to report their premises

Death In Truro or Mr. Robert H. Hines

The death Hines. (above) well known Char-

of Mr. Robert H. lottetown automobile salesman. took place in Truro. N. S. on Fri- day nlght. Mr. Hines was born at Stormont, Guysboro County, N.S.. the son of Mrs. Robert J. Hines and the late Mr. Hines. He came to Charlottetown about nine years ago with the Royal Cana- dian Navy as Naval Recorder with ships under refit at Bruce Stewart & Co. After discharge he remained in Charlottetown and became salesman with Mr. W. R. Jenkins with whom he remained until this summer when he ac- cepted a position with Cook Mo- tors, Halifax. -

Mr. Hines was on his way to spend a week-end in Charlotte- town with his family when he was stricken with a heart attack a week ago. and was taken to the Truro Hospital. He was re- ported to be making a satisfac- tory recovery and was sitting up with visiting friends when a sec-

British Warships Hold Both Ends of Suez canal -

OAIRO. Oct. 21 -(AP) -Brib ieh warships were reported hold- ing both ends of the Suez Canal today against threats posed by a speed-up for Egyptian plans to put. the country on a war footing. Thousands of British troops were on the alert all along the 104-mile canal between the navy- guarded terminals of Port said on. the Mediterranean and Port Suez on the Red sea.

It. A. F. Units Arrive

Among the reinforcements pour- ing in were two R. A. F. antl- alrcraft. squadrons. trained as rlflemen as well, to join ground forces as needed. They were due by air from London tonight. The independent. Cairo news- paper A1 Mokattam reported that British authorities. with military control of the canal in their hands. were letting oil tankers bound from the cast to Israel through the canal without being searched by Egyptian authorities. Egypt still is technically at war with Israel and has maintained her right to seize ships going to Israel despite a. United Nations condemnation of such seizures.

British military control of the canal apparently supersedes Egypt's right to make customs in- spections at Port. Said, the main control point. A military spokes- man said warship movements were regarded as operational and will be kept secret.

Com.l Tr-uflo Normal

British spokesmen said the canal continues under control of the French-operated. privately-

owned Suez Canal Company. They have reported there has been no disruption in normal transit at the rate of 1.1!!) ships 3. month.

At the military hospital. vener- able blue suits were shiny with pressing-and the white-haired men stood stiffly at attention as they had in wars long past as their Princess walked by. stopping to talk with some of them.

The Princesa' face was serious as she received toys for her child- ran and heard how crippled vel- erans had made them.

she paused a bit. then said: "They're very nice." ..A small speech but. her voice said 3 great deal more.

The Queen Elizabeth home is a pll.ln building where as older blind persons live. Outside in the rain. other blind people stood.

A little girl turned sightless eyes toward a reporter and clutch- ed her cost as she heard the hub- hub of the arrival of the myu visitors.

"Please. please. what does she look like?" she pleaded.

Inside. blind Judy Ewert pre- sented two sweatera and matching berets to the Princess for her children. They -had been knitted by the blind.

The Princess said "Thank You my much." The sound of a voice means a lot to Judy.

U. S. EIGHTH ARMY HEAD- QUARTERS. Korea. Oct. 22-(AP) -Monday)--Allied troops seized a commandlng hiilcrest one mile from Kumsong Sunday and took most of another. They were inch- ing steadily closer to that devas- tated Communist road and rail junction in Central Korea.

AP correspondent Sam Sum- merlin said ground forces re- ported fighting with three Com- munlst tanks northeast of Kum- song-indicating an Allied en- circling movement-but this was not officially verified.

The U. S. Eighth Army com- munique Sunday night reported the battle for Kumsong, 30 miles north of parallel 38. was the only major action along the en- tire Korean front.

At the advanced U. N. base at Munsan. an Allied officer predict- ed that armistice talks with the Communists would be resumed next Wednesday unless unforseen

problems arise before that time.

Allied Forces Edging Closer To Kumsong

Liaison officers reached agree- ment on security arrangements

for the meetings.

In the air war. nine B-29 Sup- erforts assigned to a. "very spec- ial" target in North Korea had to turn back when fighter cover failed to arrive. Instead. the bombers dropped their 65 tons of 100-pound bombs on rail facilities at the east coast port of Ham-

hung. AP correspondent O. H. 0. King. who accompanied the

bomber flight, said brlefing offi- cers emphasized that "despite un- favorable weather the target is of such importance that W? must have a go at lt."

.The target was not identified.

Thirty-four U. S. F-86 Sabres tangled anyway with more than 50 Russian-built Migs elsewhere Sunday. The Migs were describ- ed as "very aggressive" during a 15-minute fight.

The Sabres damaged six Mlgs during the 15-minute action. The Fifth Air Force reported all Al- lied planes returned safely,

OTTAWA. Oct. 21 - (CPl - The Commons moves this week into the second stage of an exper- iment with new sitting hours. The aim is to improve parliamentary working conditions. -

This past. week, the chamber has been sitting daily from 1:30 P. M. to 7 P.M. - with no break for meals - and the report is that most members don't like those hours and probably won't adapt them.

Beginning Monday, the working schedule for one week will be from 2 P.M. to lo P.M.. with a two- hour break for dinner between 6 and 8 P. M. Some feel this may be an improvement.

The two experimental schedules compare with the traditional house hours of 8 to II P. M.. with a din- ner break betwcen 6 and it PM, The purpose in trying new hours to get away from the 19th cent- ury habit. of sitting evenings, some- thing parliamentarians long hav complained about. V

Later. a house committee which is working on the problem will sample house opinion and recom- mend that one or other of the schedules be adopted or. possibly. that no change be made.

A number of objections have been raised to the 1:30-to-7 P. M. schedule.

Anoth group welcomes the new hours because they get more leis- ure time and I chance to get to bed earlier.

Still others are waiting cautious- ly to sample the 2-to-10 P.M. schedule before indicating how they feel.
