Afwr considerable discussion on the matter during the meeting the offer was referred to the board of directors and will be considered later.

If Mr. Kick-ham's resolution should pass the House of Commons -a possibility described by Post Office authorities here as "re- snola"--the result would be that rural mall couriers in P.E.l. would have their rate per mile boosted from the present 17 cents to the national average of 18.1 plus ten per cent which would amount to 19.9 cents. The average cost per mile per year for carriers would be boosted from the national av- erage of 30.57 to a new figure of

He stated that such a policy would benefit more breeders than those being assisted under the present” bull bonusing policy.

Queried about such a policy Mr. Baker stated that it contain- ed numerous new regulations. One stipulation would be that bulls so bonused must be of the same breed as the cattle DIW- lously in the community.

Bulls would not be placed in communities where there are less than five breeders and 60 female cattle and all sires must be one year old on March 1 of the yell"

Despite Biiier lied Resistance

(By Robert Eunson)

TOKYO. March 1-(Thursday)- (AP)-United States marines led a powerful attack today by Allied troops and planes along a 25-mile front in Central Korea against the heart of Chinese Red defence!-

Simultaneously, U. 5. 3rd Div- ision infsntrymen on the Weliern from crossed the Han River 3" assault boats and attacked s two- mile-iong sand island only four

miles southeast of Communist- held Seoul.

Both actions met fierce enemy resistance.

Primary purpose of the his central front assault by Allied troops including Canadians: make the Chinese either stand and fight or withdraw from the one sector best suited for any mnemy counter-offensive.

Purpose of the 3rd Division act- ion was: get troops across the southern loop of the Hun. eSlsT3' lish a bridgehead. then move tanks across the slrallow northern loop of the river into fluiland southeast of Seoul.

Third Division soldiers ran into hard-iishiinz mus near Inchon on the north side of the island and Chamsii near the southern shore.

The central front assault mined ground despite bitter opposition.

U. S. 1st Marine Divisiun troops. spearheading the assault. quickly captured 600-foot "Clover Leaf Hlli". a strategic height in the Hoengsong area. A marine spokesman said the attack was progressing on schedule.

The drive by American, British. Canadian. New Zesland and South Korean troops was aimed at heav- ily-manned Communist mountain positions north of the road hub of I-loengsong. AP correspondent

Record Scored By isIaniL Hogs

Pix-lnce Edward island hogs led all Canada in 1950 in the number of cows qualifying for Advanced Registry, it was disclosed by figures con-vpiled for the Prince Edward Island Department of Agriculture.

The figures show that 263 Island sows qualified in 1950 against I total of 309 for all other Provinces in Canada collectively. A total of 102 qualifying whereas only 67 of the remaining hogs in Canada. which qusiiified, were placed in that braokei.

"it can readily be seen from this achievement." said Hon. C. C. Baker. Minrisie-r of Agriculture. "why the percentage of Grade A hogs in this Pirovince has jump- ed from 37 per cent to 52 per cent during the past ten years. while the Ceinsdlsn average remained at 31 per cent. This fine show- ing would be further confirmed by the fact. that dressed carcasses of Island hogs exhibited at the Royal Winter Fair made practical- ly a clean sweep in competition for the Brethour and Todd tro- phies. Island hogs also captured practically all of the major prizes at the Amherst Winter Fair in the breeding stock classes."

Only 54 of the Island sows which qualified in the slaughter test took over 200 days to reach the requir- ed weight for Grade A while 174 sows from the other nine Provinces took longer than that in the test. A toisl of 209 island hogs made it under the 200 days as against 133 from the other provinces combined. 'This maturity record. when compared with the Canadian av- erage, supports our claim that is- lsnd Yorkshiires are outstanding for vigour and constitution,” said

17 Liberals

OTTAWA, Feb. 38 - (CP) - Seventeen Liberals bolted the party in the Commons today to back A C.C.F. bill that would have amended the Federal Labor Code.

The Government's huge major- ity overwhelmed the C.C.F. bill by a vote of 127 to 07. but the break- away groupi;?was the biggest to kick over the party traces in sev- ersi years.

The measure, sponsored from year to year by Stanley Knowles (CCF-Winnipeg North Centre). would have made the tvoluntsry revocable checkoiff" of union dues mandatory on employers under the Federal Labor Code. Under the checkoff. employers collect dues and t-urn them over to the unions.

The provision would have ap- plied only to indust-ies that are under Federal jurisdiction such as railways. shipping. radio and some other lntei-provincial undertakings.
