Christmas

KENTVILLE, N 5.. Nov. 14 — (OP) Christmas tree exptrt business with the United Slater was in danger (if being destroyed. Willis P. Clark, New York buyer. said in an inter- view here today.

Clark. who has shipped more lihflfl 3.000.000 trees from thejrgv. inice in the lass 2i years, said the practice cf some buyers in shipping large quantities of table-sire trees was causing n serious shortage.

A few years ago the average car from Nova Scetia carried only 1,600 trees, now it averaged 2,500 and sometimes ran as high as 5.000. This indicated that operators were cutting young trees and the result was, he said. that in a few years there would be no "decent-size" trees to export.

He suggested that in view of the fact the Department of Lands and Forests required eierv buyer of Christmas troes to have a permit. the Department should also spe- cify that not more than five per cent of trees exported be under five feet in he ght.

Clark said the table-sized trees sold in the United States for only about 35 cents each. Larger trees. from five to nine feet high. have brought us mucii as $10 apiece in New York.

Unemployment Figures Show Large Decrease

Unemployment in Prince Edward Island shows a big improvement over the situation prevailing lost May. according to officials of the local national employment. office. At that, time. 1,600 men were out of work in the Provinceiwnile at present the number does not ex- ceed 503. this includes 321 war veterans and 165 civilians, By far the greater portion are drawing out~ot'-work benefits in one form or another. In order to meet the serious shortage of labour confronting Island potato growers this fnil, the Charlottetown and Summerside national employment offices ob- tained aproximateiy 1.000 men, chiefly from the mainland.

In Prince County, which this year furnished the bulk of the 1s- iarid's potato crop, 794 men were placed. King's County followed in the number of men required with Queen's taking between 50 and 60

Charlottetown officials report that most farmers were slow in send- ing in ihci-r requests for Enrm help, many of them waiting until within a day or two of their read- iness to begin operations before contacting the office-

The workers in the potato fields were brought, here at a daily wuue of $3.00. Had it not been for the steel strike in Cape Breton and other intiustrai unrest in Nova Scotia, the services of most of these men would have been un- available. end there would have been a considerable increase in farm labor costs.

ATHENS. Nov. i4 — (AP) _ Premier Tsaldaris charged night that a "savage" attack originating from foreign soil had been made on the Greek village o: Ski's. and declared the fight. ing there was a continuation of similar attacks along the entire northern Greek frontier.

The attack cri Skra-iocateci on the traditional invasion route northwest of Salonlka — was made within 2 1-2 miles or fhS Yugoslav border, the Premier said. He added that the attack- ers fled into Yugoslavia.

Another government announce- ment said that part of the band attacked across the Yugoslav border. It said the battle there was the most vicious encounter- ed thus far between Greek mili- tary and leftist bands

Mr. Tsaidaris himself described the affair as constituting the "most savage attack" ever made on a Greek village. Reports of this battle plunged the govern- ment into s. series oi emergency conferences with political and military leaders. including heads oi’ the British forces in Greece. The Government a" ouncement said that before the attack was launched telegraph and telfiphone lines in the vicinity of te vil- lage were cut and mined.

Meanwhile, it was officially ah-l nounced that the minister of war. the chiei-oi-staff. and other government representatives were flying to salonika tomorrow.

In a, situation admitted unoffi- cially as assuming "the clear char- acter of an undeclared war against Greece", these steps were taken:
