"I would anticipate that the present con- dition will obtain until the new year when there is generally a post-holiday lull. which I do not anticipate w-ill be serious at all under present conditions." Mr Shaw states.

A few reports have been re- ceived from different points in the Province. but'lelephone difficult- ies have made it impossible to secure many of -these reports.

In Toronto the price ha; not changed. and is still being quoted at 60 1-0c to 0'1c delivered.

In New Brunswick creamery butter markets continue strong. and local sales are in good volume. In that province it is difficult to purchase butter in any quantity, and most creameries are on s

s jobbing at 70c.

buying basis for solids is pro- duction is extremely low. Under these conditions the creamery

managers and salesmen requested an advance of 1c per pound. to become effective on Monday, De- cember 17th. The price now be- ing quoted in that province is- creamer-ies to wholesalers, 1 and 2-lb. prints 09c delivered; whole- salers to retail stores. 1 and 2-lb. prints 715:. . '

Principally due to the demand for butter in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. and” the price advance taking place in those provinces. an advance of 1c per pound has been requested by'the creacrnery managers and salesmen here. The wholesale price in this province is now being quoted at M 1-2c for prints delivered Char- lottetown. with local jobbing at 690

It is emphasized that cream- eries in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are anxious to buy but- ter in solids. at the present time. from this Province. If they are not able to purchase it here. they may go west for their supplies. Furthermore. about 1 1-2 million pounds of New Zealand butter is due to arrive at Halifax some time after the beginning of the year to be delivered at 66c per pound. which may interfere with the demand and the price in the Maritimes to some extent after January 1.

The production of butter con- tinues quite high for this time of year in this Province. For t'he week ending December 15. there were 72.454 pounds made compared with 58,594 pounds for the same week last year. This is an increase of 13.M Pounds. of 23.6-per cent.

WITH THE CANADIANS IN KOREA. Dec. 20 -(CP)-George Thwoltes squinted critically along his tank's 50-calibre machine-gun. It swang freely under his grip and as it pivoted from side to side its sights covered known Chinese positions on the hills 2,- 000 to 4.000 yards ahead.

It and the tank's 87-millimetre gun had accounted for plenty of Chinese in the seven months they had been fired in anger by Sgt. Thwaites of Charlton. Ont., and his crew.

The tank from a troop of the Lord Strathcona's Horse com- manded by Lieut. Strathcona Mac- donald of Vankleek Hill, 0nt.. was perched on a hilltop of the United Nations' front. It was one of "D" Troop, supporting the 1st Battalion Princess Pntriciu's,Can- adlan Light Infantry dug into the forward slopes of the hill.

Thwaltes' Sherman. named "Cog- nac," a few days earlier had ac- complished the best shoot in her Korean career-a share in a known 160 Chinese dead and in whole platoon of 36 Chinese Com- munists attributed exclusively to her.

Now the ground war had halted and U. N. troops were ordered to fire only on seen cncmy.

"And that, at least. we do-we shoot up every damn thing that moves," he said.

The day before they had silen- ced an enemy self-propelled gun that had peppered their sand- bagged tank. Two days before they had killed six Chinese spot- ted carrying ammunition on a ridgetop 4,000 yards away.

In civilian life a gold miner in Northern Ontario and Quebec. Thwaiies was an officer during the Second World War when he servedtwith the Armored Corps and the Provost Corps. He resign- ed his commission to join the Korea force.

"Before we arrived people didn't leave the roads with their tanks. We were the first, it seems, to go into the hills with the infan- try and cover them in action there.

"This isn't ideal tank country- it's first and second gear driving all the time and it it happens to rain you just have to put. You've got to co-ordinate with the weather here. But we do get there, and stay there . . . "But really. they painted Korea much worse than it really was, as far as fighting is concerned. i'tYet as far as soldiering is, concerned it's been much worse. I
