Previous to the parade is raised pl-otform had been erected in front of the Empire Theatre on Queen Street, and His Honour Lieuten- ant Governor T. W. L. Prcwse took the solute from the various units as they marched past, from this platform. In addition to his aides, Liaut. Governor Prowse was accompa led to the stand by His Worship ayor B.

The stirring strains of the pipes were predominant as the massed pipe bands of the Pictou High- lsndeiu, the Cape Breton High- landers and the North Nova Regi- ment led off under the command of Colonel G. Elliot Full.

Following them were the brass and bugle bands of famous regi- ments of the Maritime-s. Sand- wiched between the brass bands as the parade swung along was the pipe band of the Halifax Rifles.

One of the more brilliant dis- plays was by the Prince Edward Island 1'fih Reece Band under Bandmaoter Tom Mac.l-"arlane. Loud praise met. the cadet bands and units of West Kent and Queen Square Schools. and the brass band of the North Novas also met with their share.

(By The Canadian Press)

Crowded ball parks. beaches and highways Monday marked the windup of the three-day Dominion Day week-end in Canada while native sons abroad celebrated the country's 34th birthday with 5 round of speeches and receptions.

Dominion Day was celebrated Monday since the official date of Canada's birth. July 1, fell on a

Sunday. As the homeward rush from re- sorts and other holiday spot-i

shifted into high gear. the death toll mounted.

Late Monday night is Canadian Press survey counted 63 dead in traffic accidents. drownings. fires and other mishaps. The toll sur- passed the figure. of 51 dead dur- lng the Dominion Day week-end last year.

All across the country. sporting events drew thousands of persons. There were regattas. harness rac- ing programs. baseball games. track and field meets. automobile racing - in general an informal celebration.

Officially marking Canada's an- niversary of confederation was the firing of a 21-gun salute from Parliament Hill at Ottawa and special observances at provincial capitals.

To Use Red

WASHINGTON. July 2 -(AP) -The United Nations command is expected to use its 163.000 Com- munist prisoners to the maximum advantage in bargaining for the release of an unknown number of Allied soldiers behind enemy stockades.

An exchange of prisoners on s one-for-one basis is reported to be among the armistice conference points which Gen. Matthew R. Ridgway has or will convey to

the Chinese and North Korean commanders. The accepted rules .of warfare

generally provide that prisoners may be exchanged during armist- ice periods and before the con- clusion of general peace settle- nients.

The U. N. command s a big numerical advantage in .he num- ber of Communist captives held in South Korean camps. This bar- gaining advantage is offset to some degree. however, by the Oriental disregard for individual lives. informed American officials

Prisoners

As Bargaining Point

fear the U. N. aclvantsge is dis- counted to on ever greater extent. however. by the Reds' knowledge that the Allies don't know exactly how many ,of their men are held by the Communists. i

only 159 Americans were known prisoners of war Julie 22. on that date the list of missing Americans stood at 10,680. No recent total of missing among the other U. N. unis in Korea is available. but three months ago the uuniber was about 400.

The Reds have persistently rs- fused to follow internstlonairuies providing for exchange of prison- er information and regular re- ports about their welfare through the International Red Cross.

some U. S. officials expect the Reds to accept some prisoner ex- change agreement. They em- phasize. however. that the Chin- ese and North Koreans may be tempted to hold back some prison- ers from any exchange agreement, so that they can be used for fur-

ther bargaining later.

Foresters said 20.000 acres of -timberland - more than 30 square miles-have been ravaged and onlv rainfall can stop the fire. It would take 10 years to log off such an area. .

The eastern flank nf the fire was being held. A 14-mile fire break runfilng roughly north and south was hacked out of the east- ern side of the blaze. Loggers patrolled the line constmitly to kccp the fire from racing east and down to the sea.

To the south. other firefighters were trying to head off the fire west liit.o the mountains.

One official said: "I think the general picture has improved a bit. We are gradually winning out."

There was no wind today - in contrast to the B0-miles-an-hour blow that farmed the fire out of control 10 days ago - jumping.it two miles through the treetops in is single hurdle.
