A Dundas farmer. Prank Clay, became the new plowing champion of Prince Edward Island late yesterday afternoon as he defeat- ed I tough field of fourteen of the island's finest plowmen in the big- gest event of the Provincial Plow- mg Match.

Using a three sod plow. Mr. Clay, who lives about two miles from the plowing field. gained the sweetest victory of his career for he won over a class that veteran judge Wylie Baird of Naplllm. N. s. said was the best he ever Judg- ed in any competition.

Cigarel Prices lip Two Cents

M0cN'IlR.EAL, Sept. 27 .. (cm -Cigaret smokers learned today they will have to pay more for the ready-made brands of two major companies-tvwo cents more for a package of so.

The prices were announced by Imperial Tobacco Company in Montreal and Tuoketts Tobacco Company in Hamilton. Other companies made no immediate announcernent.

The increase is the second within six months. Last April. largely through an increase in the Federal excise tax. the 20- cigaret package went up four cents to 40 cents except where provincial taxes operate and the consumer price is higher.

Today's announcement said the new price is effective "to the trade" with shipments on and after Oct. 1.

A Bvokcsrnan for Imperial To- bacco aaid retail dealers, must determine when the increase will be passed along to the consumer. He Pknressed the opinion that stocks now on hand should move at present prices.

Except where provincial taxes MW apply. the new price for a package of 20 will be to instead

of 40 cents.

Govlt Will Hold Line On Credit Restrictions

trade picture during the last few mueen mg mg daughters, to act

OTTAWA, Sept. 2'7 -- (CP) - The government has completed a review of the impact of credit re- strictions on sales and employment and has decided to withstand mounting pressure for relaxation, it was learned today.

Appeals against the restrictions have come from many quarters. particularly from the hard-hit automotive industry at Windsor, Ont., and from manufacturers and distributors of refrigerators. wash- ing machines, stoves and other electrical goods.

Pressure against the government was stepped up following sharp increases in the restrictions last March. Delegations were told, however, that the full impact of the restrictions was not immed- iately discernible and it probably would take six months before the credit picture was clear.

Officials said they would under- take a review in ,tember.

Informed sources said today that the.revlew has been completed and it was decided that the great dan- gcr was not so much from pos- slbllltles of unemployment, but in- flation which was continuing to climb.

The storm blew out several transformers at Sault Ste. Marie. leaving sections of the city with- out power for hours. Waves in the St. Mary's River halted ferry traf- fic to Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., and St. Joseph Island, downriver

At Thessalon, 19 cars and a loc- omotive of a Canadian Pacific Railway freight train were derail- ed by a washout during the height of the storm. No one was hurt. communications were eut as tel- egraph lines snapped.

Canadian National Railway-s' section gangs worked all night on main lines in the Armstrong-Long Lac-Port Arthur district clearing shattered telegraph poles and wires from the tracks.

Donald Gordon. C.N.B. pres- ident. was "missing" for three hours Wednesday night aboard a train between Long Lao and Port Arthur. Communications were down all along the line and officials shared anxious moments until the

months "has been the sharp con- traction in sales of durable goods as compared with early in the year - the apparent result. of gov- ernment restrictions of instalment purchasing."

The Bureau said sales of motor vehicles in July were down slight- ly from a year ago; appliance and radio store sales were down 17 per cent; furniture store sales, seven per cent; coal and wood dealers. six per cent; jewelry stores. four per cent; department and men's clothing stores, one per cent each.

Nevertheless, Canadians. on the whole were buying a lot more this year than they did a year ago - mostly for cash, but for credit. too. Retail sales in the -' quarter of 1951 jumped to s2,605.200,000 - up 12.5 per cent from 52.315.000.000 in the same period of 1950.

Iran

LONDON. Sept. 2'? -(AP)- Presldent Truman stepped into the ominous oil controversy today with to throw British technicians out of the Abadan refinery. ”

Qualified sources said the Pres- ident also counselled Briton against the use of armed force to protect property in Iran. .

American policy in the post has held that force could not be Just!- fied unless needed to save British lives.

Iran threatened to blow up the refinery. the world's largest. if British forces landed at Abadan.

The cabingt met in urgent ses- sion and sent a message asking Iran's shah Mohammed Reza Shah Pahlevi to have his govern- ment revoke lts ouster order. Under it. the 317 remaining Brit- ish oil, technicians must leave Iran by next Thursday. .. .. . .

After making this appeal. the cabinet decided to stand pat on hopes for a reversal of the ouster.

Prime Minister Attlee'a office issued a communique tonight say- ing: "No final decisions have been taken by Ills Majesty's Govern- ment in the Persian (Iranian) oil dispute . Further information is awaited from the Ambassador (Sir Francis shepherd) in Tehran."

Government sources said Shep- herd carrted the cabinet appeal to the shah, but there was no im- mediate indication whether the young ruler would intervene.

Britain claims the Shah favors a moderate course. but he was re- ported irritated over Britain's re- buff of Iran's proposal last week to renew oil negotiations on Iran's terms.

Truman intervened as peace- maker in response to an urgent message W d may from Attlee.

MONTREAL. Sept. 2'i'-tCP)- Finance Minister Abbott invited Canadian housewives tonight to participate in Canada's defence plan by cutting down "thought- less spending" and making thrift- lneu the fashion of the day.

If the word gets around, he said. that thoughtless spending and waste is not in keeping with the times. the Canadian house- wife will have accomplish it more to beat inflation than the gov- ernment could by introducing price controls.

"A little restraint here. a little more critical appraisal of value there. an ingenious device for getting along with less expendi- ture somewhere else. repeated thousands of times across this country can have a striking effect," the Minister said.
