One IV Set Sold In Alberta. None in The loiarilimes

OTTAWA. Dec. 2'? - (GP) somebody bought a television set in Alberta this year - and paid 3470 for it. This was the sole TV purchase for that Province in the first nine months of the year.

In Newfoundland. the Maritimes. Manitoba and Saskatchewan. the Bureau of statistics reported today not a TV set was purchased to the end of September.

However, eager TV beavers in Ontario bought 14.765 sets at a cost of 35,082,356. Probably the fact On- tario residents are close to United States television stations has some- thing to do with the step up in in- forest.

Sets purchased across Onnada in lilo first nine months totalled H.-

890.

To the end of September of this year 36 sets were bought by Que- bec residents and 38 by persons in British Columbia.

herrings." More than 48 hours had passed since the audacious Christmas

morning robbery from Westminster Abbey when the slcuths gathered around a conference table here this morning to discuss the clues.

This is what they noted on their pads:

one yellow-painted five-ton truck. stolen from a Glasgow. Scotland, factory Dec. 23 and not seen slnce- ,. ted as a '” means of transport for the rough. unwieldy 458-pound coronation stone;

The crow-bar with which the thieves forced an Abbey sidedoor to drag it into the street;

A stainless-steel wrist watch, Swiss-mode. old. found with the crowbar on the sidewalk near the Abbey door;

The coronation chair. under which the stone had rested for the last G0 years;

An English-made "baby" car seen near the Abbey about the time oi the crime; '

And its two occupants. described in detail by a policeman who talk- ed to them and got replies in a strong. Scottish burr.

snags To Clues

But there are snags to several of the clues.

The "woman" occupant of the baby car. for instance. may hav been a man In disguise. '

" ”' i nationalists. suspected of being the culprits. may have taken a leaf out of their own history book and remembered their hero. sn- nie Priice Charlie. who in 1745 es- caped from a ring of wratliful Eng- lish soldiers in feminine garb.

some i t ”.... believe the whole babv car. occupants and all. was a deliberate "plant" to hinder the search.

The mysterious initials. too. so far have proved no help. Most ac- amiable theory is that they stand for the aecttish nationalist slogan "Justice For Scotland." But they may have been put there to remind Britons of James Francis Stuart. the first Stuart pretender not to sit ou, the ancestral aoottish l.-in-one -

the ii....t.. Receive Praise For llohesiy

one eight year old and owe sev- en ycar old city youngsters re- ceived high praise from Police oi- flcers. obtained a sizeable reward for themselves and reflected good home training last week in the middle, of the Christmas rushwhen

they turned in a lost ten dollar bill at the Police Station. The youngsters found the ten

dollars near the Provincial library and instead of spending it in Christmas candy and toys. look it to the city Police. Less than a half hour later the loser. one of the ladies who works in the Lib- rary., reported the loss of ten dol- lars. it

The youngsters were Stephen Connolly. eight-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Connolly. D Bayfield SL; seven-year-old Cili- ford Meaney. who lives with his grandmother, Mrs. Clara Raid on Connolly street and seven-year- old Ivan Brown. who lives with his parents on Brighton Avenue.

38th parallel.

Of this number. 277.173 were Ohi- nese Reds and the rest North Kor- eans.

(No explanation was given as to how headquarters arrived at these figures.)

The war summary said 11 rccon- stituted North Korean divisions have been identified within the last 12 days through prisoner interroga- tions. This raised the total of iden- tified North Korean units to 23 div- isions and three brigades.

"It is reasonable to assume that the enemy has the capability of placing several additional North Korean divisions in the field in the very near future," the summary added.

Rldgway Confident

Ridgway took over command of the unified Allied ground army in Korea Wednesday after a brief visit with President Syngman Rhee of the Republic of Korea at the pres- idential palace.

"I aim to stay in Korea." the new commander told Rhee.

Ridgway flew to Korea from Washington to take the place of Lt.-Gen. Walton H. walker. kill- ed in a jeep accident north of Seoul Saturrlay.

Five divisions of the US. 10th Corps. evacuated from Northeast Korea through the I-Iungnam beachhead. were added to the Elghth Army as Ridgway took over

With the additional troops. the Eighth Army also was given the responsibility for guarding the en- tire U.N. front in Korea.

As Ridgway visited Rhee at the presidential palace. Seoul residents poured out of the city for sanctuary in the south. Most went on fcot. Others jammed trains and ships. Some had automobiles.

Allied authorities estimated that nearly half of Seoul's 1.000.000 res- idents had left the city. threatened with its second Red invasion in six months.

Rhee to Remain

Rhee said he and his top Gov- ernment officials would stay in Seoul until the Eighth Army asked them to leave.

The two Chinese Red companies encircled 32 air miles north of Seoul were trying to make a break through in the Chongong sector which would have put bhem on one main highway to Seoul. This was cne route of the Reds who invaded South-- Korea in June.

The North Korean regiment that was encircled and wiped out had penetrated the United Nations dc- fence llncs two miles to the out- skirts of Chunchon. rail and high- way centre 45 miles northeast of the Republican capital.

Fifth Air Force fighters and light bombers Wednesday inflicted about 500 casualties on a Red troop con-

north of Seoul. and killed or wound- ed 300 Communists in the Ham- hung area. just north of the evac- uated Hungsiam beachhead in Northeast Korea.

In the mountainous eastern sec- tor of the front. nearly 100 Reds surrendered to U. N. ground forces withcut a fight, after a flight of P-51 Mustangs had raked their are): with machine-gun fire.

The new squadrons will be formed as swiftly as F86 Sabres and CFl00 Canuck jet fighters be- comejvailoble in sufficient quan- tity from Montreal and Toronto factories and as soon as enough pilots and navigators are trained. in other words, the old restric- tions arising from lack of auth- oriiy to do something have given away to lack ofgequipmeng and manpower to carry out steps al- ready sanctioned by Cabinet.

Grand Chancellor of the Mari- time Domain of the Knights :1 Pytbias will make his official visit to uhe meetings of the Empire Lodge Knights of Pythias and the Montgomery Temple Pythian Sis- ters at their meetings in the Pythian Castle Hall in Charlotte- town this evening.

The Pythian Order in Charlotte- town hss an enviable record. hav- ing produced euch outstanding men for the order and commun- ity as the late Col. C. L. MaoKay.

Past Grand chancellor, and now general mu. ager of Bruce stewart and Com- pany.

"This Order does not rest with past accomplishments," Mr. Jones says. "but is alive to present op- portunities and ever watchful of the future. It offers to the young

men of Charlottetown and the surrounding districts an order based on friendship. and charity

which is hard to equal. Through ll.S ritual it offers lessons so im- presslve they are never forgotten and which may be of use in every transaction of normal living. In addition to these it offers unlimit- ed opportunities for unselfish ser- vice to mankind."

Eskimo On Last Trip Of Season

The Government owned maim- vcssei Eskimo sailed from the Railway wharf Tuesday morning for Newfoundland on its elgh. tccnth and last trip of the sea- son from Prince Edward Island to Canada's newest Province.

Figures on the season's shipping were not available but it was learned that the amount of goods transported was considerably high- er than last year.

Included in the cargo shipped Tl-lPSda.V were potatoes. iurnios. feeds, fruit. frozen and canned meats and empty cans for New. foundland canneries. The Eskimo is bound for St. Johns and other poinis along the south coast. ,The motor vessel had a rough time in ihc heavy storm last; week when she put into a small hat-ho: On Ramea. a small island off the south coast of Newfoundland.

This stress on the undersea threat arises from a Russian con- cenfraiion on submarines which makes the 1030 German throat 100k 511110.55 Picayune. It has been Vile n8VJ's mam preoccupation since i045. It now has -become the No. 2 problem for the R.C.A.F.

Training of airmen is the great background problem for air head- quarters. The expectation here is that by the end of 1951 the pre- sent program of training 300 R.A. F. and European airmen a year will be expanded.

Britain suggested months ago l'hat Canada train 1.000 airmen I year for the RAF. The Govern- ment is considering this along with the fact European powers such as Holland and Belgium and

It is a costly business. but Can- ada is admirably suited in every way for the job and the feeling here is that Cabinet will in time give its approval for expansion.

The C.D.A.'s recommendations were published in a lie-W civil de- fence booklet. "Llcalth Services and Special Weapons Defence."

The booklet described the main problem that might be faced by civil dc-fence health services as one of "sheer volume" - of pro- viding peo-ple. supplies and fac- iiitirs to treat great numbers of casualties simultaneously.

Other highlights of the pu-blica- tion include:

l. The Government is suggesting a simple and universal emergency treatment for the many thous- and: of cases of bums that would he expected in an atomic attack. It consists of a "dry dressing" wrap-around cellulose. pad. faced and banded with gauze.

2. The Government proposes to establish huge store-houses of sur- gical bandages and other sup- plies to buttress the slacks of the separate states.

3. As a means of meeting tre- mendous demands for blood inns- fusions (about 120.000 pints dur- log the first three weeks after a single A-bomb attack on a metro- politan area). the Government sug- gests preliminary listing of don- ors who could provide "0" type blood -- the kind that could be given to anyone.

This year 94 representatives are enrolled. the largest number to take part in the four. years in which the course has been held. A number of these are school teachers who have given up their Christmas holidays in order that they might be present and take the instructions which -will enable them to be of greater assistance to their communities Also showing a definite interest in the welfare of their districts are the many Women's institute mem- bers. students. nurses, and Convent Sisters who are present for the course.

First aid is one of the major pro- jects of the Canadian Red Cross Society, and the present ocurse is divided into four groups or levels of instruction. These include the standard with 2'! enrolled: stand- ard refresher with 16: instructor with 4.2. and instructor refresher with 9.
