in the most significant step for- ward since the US. command and the Communists exchanged prison- cr lists Dec. iii, the Reds Tuesday agreed to:

.. Accept in principle an Allied proposal for repatriation of civil- ians "caught in the backwash of war" during an armistice and give a definite answer after further study.

. 2. Supply additional information on some 50.000 soldiers the U.N. says are or have been in enemy hands but who were not listed. Most of these were South Koreans.

In exchange. the Allies promised to have ready today the first ad- ditional data it promised the Reds.

,This included details on 44.205 Red

prisoners which the Communists claim were not accounted for and an additional list of M56 Red pris- oners.

There was no indication from the Reds when they would have the additional prisoner information ready for the Allies. but they re- affirmed their promise to give up the data.

.1: rrlng Note

Also they raised it jarring note in indicating they may press for the return of a half million North Koreans who fled in the South to escape the Reds.

In a New Yea'r's statement south Korean President Syngman Rhee hinted the Allies could expect trouble if an armistice is agreed upon before unificationi of North and South is achieved.

Both the U. N. command and the Red negotiators appeared surpris- ed at the progress they made Tues- day on the prisoner issues. Their meeting lasted one hour 10 min- utes.

Rear Admiral R. E. Libby. Allied sub-delegate said "we had a. very amicable meeting. They were ap- parently following the old Chinese rhilosophy of paving all their debts at one time at the New Year."

1952 Road Building OM5- Top Last Yearls Hinghi

their parents II!

t

crrrawa. January I -- Record expenditures on Canadian roads of nearly 3300 millions are reported in a year-end Eview released today by the Cam In Good Roeds As- sociation. Preliminary estimates for 1952 indicate that a. higher level of road building activity will be reach- ed unleu material and labor short- a force a revision of present building plans.

Material shortages. particularly of steel. may hamper construction. and some Provinces report.-that they may be forced to trim their programs. One province has reveal-

ed that "unless there is a drastic change in the situation regarding

the supply of reinforcing steel

there will have to be a great cur-

tailment: of our program. We sim-

ply cannot so on trying to make

bricks without straw". Wide sub-

stitutions of other materials for

steel, especially wood. are being

made.

The steel division of the Depart-

ment ol Defence Production offers

little hope that there will be any improvement in the available sup- piles. of steel. The Minister of the Department declared late in 1951

that "1952 will be our toughest year yet." .

Construction Costa Higher

in other respects the Province: will have their troubles. They are caught. between a public clamor for improved roads on one hand and on the other high costs of can- striiction. scarcity of materials and a dearth of trained technical per- sonnel. Inflation has pushed up construction costs.

Qtoad expenditures are increased substantially by public insistence on dust-free and snow-free roads with a greater number. of main and secondary roads being kept open all year. outlay on winter maintenance is increasing steadily. In addition. roads are being built to higher standards to carry the heavier commercial traffic on the highways and the steadily grow- ing number of private cars.

One of the most important high- way projects of the current year will be construction work on the Trans-Canada Higliway. This is expected to get into full stride in 1952. Eight Provinces so far have signed agreements with the fed- eral government to build the 5000- niiie east-west mute.

May Seek Extension

with mounting construction prob- lems it now appears virtually cer- tain that some of the Provinces will not. be able to conmletc their sections nf the national highway by the time the agreement expires in 1956 and will have to ask for an extension. t

Final figures for 1951 for new and improved highway inileages are not yet available but it is evi- ccnt from preliminary reports that road building activities resulted in substantial additions and improve- ments to the Canadian highway systems. Several Provinces rcportetl imm-ovemcnt"ln innlntenaiice tech- iiioues and the addition of labor- saving machinery. Winter maint- criance was substantially increased and a greater proportion of roads will be kept open this winter de- spite an early and heavy snowfall Newfoundland. Canada's young- rst Province. reported that by i953 it will have built; it road from one end of the island to the other. the 610 miles from Port aux Basques to St. John's. at a cost of sin mil- lions. This is in he shared equally with the Federal Government

-Old Mother Nature. A tJeaslrri' t is one w always expects the wont will b ppen; is one who can never see the sun foi- the clouds. An-optimist ls,one who always finds holes in the clouds and peeps through; one who is at. ways sure that however bndthings are they will surely be, all right 51. ter awhile. Drummer the Wood- pecker usually is an optimist. But Drummer wasn't arI'optim- ist now. No indeed, he wasn't. an optimist. He just couldn't be. An optimist must have hope, and Drummer no longer had hope. In its place, was grim despair. You see. it was this way: Drum- mer was a prisoner in his own bedroom and he had no way of getting out. He was the prisoner of Jack Frost. Jack Frost had come in tilt night while Drummer slept. and had turned to hard ice the wet snow which rough Brother North Wind had packed into the doorway of Drumme 'u home. When Drum- mer awoke at daylight. he couldn't get out. He was a prisoner. He had been a prisoner for two days. He- ing a prisoner would not have been so hard had he had anything to eat, but he didn't have anything to eat. and he had no way of get- ting: anything. He was starving to death. Lacking food. it doesn't. take ti bird long to starve to death. Folks in feathers have to have more food than do other folks. They have to fill their stomachs oftener. This is because it takes a great deal of en- ergy to fly, and most; birds have to do ti great deal of flying. Food ma?-res energy. when there is no icon. there can be no energy. Fund and energy go together. and both are necessary for everybody. but especially for birds.

Then. too. food makes heat in the body. one whose stomach is empty is always cold. Among the feathered folk. and some of the folks in fur. if stomachs dre empty for very long their owners will freeze in death. They will freeze to death even before they can starve to death. You see how important food is. and Ill that snug little home of his. Drummer the Wood- pecker had not one particle of food.

Every now and then he climbed up to that doorway and peeked at the ice that filled it. He tried to cut his way out. but. couldn't Drummer isn't one to live up easily. He woud peck a while. then go down and rest. soon he would climb back up and peck some more. All that long day he kept doing this. Of course in so doing. he was Urliig up the energy he had stored up in him, and there was no food to make more energy. so it was that as the day grew longer. Drummer's blows on that ice grew lighter. This was because he was growing weaker all the time.

".'llel'e is nothing worse than despair. It was a long time be- fore hope faded away completely. but it did fade away at last. and in its place was despair. There was no way out of that prison. for that is what his home had now become. except by that doorway Jack Frost land closed. ummer couldn't out another Idoor ay because there w:i.r.n't room for him to throw his head far enough back to strike. hard enough to cut chips out with that stout bill of his?!-le tried it. but it was useless. Of course his strength was all the time growing lcss and less. Drummer had been In tight places before, but never in such a tight place as this. Al- unys he had found some way out. but this time there was no way out. so hope faded and faded and at

last. was gone completely. foo: Drummer! Night cam again. This was

Drummer's second night. The first night he had had a full crop when he went to sleep. This night ,hc had an empty crop He slept a little.

He tried to cut his way out but cuuldn r.

little, and when morning came he once more tried to break the ice, .Eut1'ie couldn't strike as hard as he did the day before .and the ice wasn't one bit Softer.

"It is no use trying," whllperad Drummer, and it seemed its if he was right.

West opened the ten of clubs. Declarer won and drew two-rounds of diamonds. He cashed the Ace and king of hearts. discarding one of dummy'a spades. and then at- tempted to guess the position of the outstanding spade honors. Fortune. however, did not crown his efforts. After leading to the spade see. he returned a small shade toward his queen-nine. East played law without the sligheat hesitation. and south attempted to force the king by playing his own nine-spot. All he managed to force, however, was the pack from West's hand. and West now had the simple exit of a club into dum- my's blank ace. The spade king still had to be conceded to East for the setting trick.

This hand scarcely could have been easier! Mmr winning the opening club lrn-' declarer should have drawn the outstanding trumps. then an iv"! the other club and the ace and king of hearts. discarding a spade from dummy. The third heart should have been ruffed. the south hand entered uith it trump. and a low spade led to dummy's ten.

Regardless of the position of the king and Jack. this would have insured declarer against losing more than one spade trick. If East could win the ten with the jack, he would either have to de- turn a spade. giving a free finesse against the king. or ii suit that decierer could ruff while dummy was discarding its last. losing spade.
