'Popoff was convicted of starting fires which destroyed a 345,000 planer mill, at community hall and it house during Doukhobor raids last summer.

"I cannot see where there is hope of reformation for this man," Mr. Justice H. S. Wilson said as he pronounced sentence.

The parties have not yet issued their election manifestos-these policy statements are expected in the next few days-but the main points in their campaigns have be- come pretty clear from develop- ments in the last few years.

The Liberals can be expected to fight out the electoral battle basic- ally on their record over the last 18 years in office. particularly the last four in the 21st. Parliament under the leadership of Louis St. Laurent.

The Main Issue?

The Prime Minister was asked Friday at a press conference what

he sees as the main issue of the election.

"Good government." he replied tersely. leaving no doubt that is

what he considers the public has been getting. The record also will be a main part

U. N. Commander Issues Unusual Caution in Army

By George McArthnr

MUNSAN. (AP)-A Korean arm- istice appeared so near today that officers assigned to vital truce jobs were alerted and Allied soldiers were warned against mistaking a cease-fire for war's end.

The UN field commander, Lt..- Gen. Maxwell Taylor. issued an unusual radio caution to his multi- nation army not to be swept up with thoughts of going home and get caught off guard. He said "the possibility of an armistice has in- creased to the point that we must consider what a. signing would mean to the 8th army."

EDMONTON, (CPt - Light rain during the week-end helped check a series of forest fires which threatened to engulf the Alberta towns of Molvfurray and Water- ways. 300 miles northeast of Ed- monton.

The rain came as miles of flame moved quickly through dry brush to almost encircle the towns. Eighty fire-fighters. including arnirl troops flown in from Calgary, along with many of the townsl combined population of 1,000, had battled the fire for days only to have it ad- vance on three sides.

Light drizzle was falling over Northeastern Alberta Sunday at- ternoon and extended eastward ill- to northwestern Saskatchewan where one of the largest fires in the province since 1919 was raging Saturday.

There were no reports on effects of the rain in Saskatchewan, but it was expected to lessen the hazard. The public weather office here predicted possible light rain over

The town lhsclf was not threat- cncd. Timber iiispectors said dam-l age would be confined to scrub growth in muskeg areas.

Further east at Lac la Rouge, about 150 miles north of Prince Albert, fires burning Saturday had spiead a pail of smoke which re- duced visibility to almost zero.
