Defence Survey Includes Plans For Accommodation. Of 80,000 Evacuees Here

Plans are under way in Prince Edward Island to accommodate noon evacuees should the occas- ion arise, states Mr. Peter Pate. ovary, who is at present con- ducting it civil defence survey of the Province under the Depart- ment of Civil Defence. which is headed in this Province by Hon. Wilfrid Arsenauit.

Mr. Pate addressed a public meeting last evening in the Knights of Pythlas hall and told those in attendance that it was expected that P. E. I. would be compnrntively free from attack should a war arise. but that Hali- fax and the Sydneys were consid- ered very likely targets for enemy bombers.

He stated that there is a good possibility of war in the near fut- ure. and that if these two areas were attacked it would be without notice of any kind. with this in mind arrangements have been going on throughout the Province for the past. two weeks to accom- modate evacuees from Halifax and Sydney at a moment's notice. Mr. Pate told the meeting that 24.- mo evacuees could be accommod- ated within twenty-fou-r hours as I result of plans formulated to date.

.icatrcs. Potato warehouses,

social and recreation halls through-

out the Province are but a. few of the facilities which have been canvassed with the possibility of their being used for this purpose. Mr. Pate said. souris. Georgetown, and Montague would he points of entry for evacuees, and every type of boat available would be pressed into service should the need ar- ise.

Canadian Legion branches and Women's Institute groups have already been contacted to assist in the placing of possible evacuees, and in ministering to their wel- fare. Mr. Pate explained. He also stated that arrangements were being made for people of differ- ent religious faiths to be placed in separate act-oinmodations.

Mr. Pete served in the Mexican war and in World Wars 1 and 2. He has received the Purple Heart, Silver Star and Croix de Guerra. His survey. which is being con- ducted voluntarily, will be com- pleted in the very near future.

The lecture was sponsored by the Knights of Pythlas with Mr. Tom White as chairman and was the first of a series which will be conducted throughout the winter months. Following the lecture a lively discussion ensued with questions being answered as frank- ly as possible by Mr. Pate.

The members of the Queens pumy Federation "of Agriculture yesterday afternoon asked the Pro- rinclal Potato Marketing Board to set up a quota system of marketing potatoes and to register all grow- ers. The Queens County Federation rmnunl meeting was held at the Canadian Legion Hall. Charlotte- town.

It was also suggested that support should he given to a limited quan- tity of potatoes. This support should not exceofl more than ten acres per xmvrcr. it was stated.

The mr-sting endorsed the action of the Provincial Government in seeking price support for potatoes imri commended the Government for Iaklng the matter direct to Ottawa. Tlic Provincial Government's ef- forts to have the car fcn:y run by

ls Baclt-ed. Up By lei Fighter Palrols

By Thomas A. Reedy

BERLIN, Nov. 16 -(AP) - The Western Allies erected new safe- guards here today against surprise aggression from the East and dis- closed iha: a hitherto secret Amer- ican radar screen. backed by jet fighter patrols. had passed its first tests.

The buiwarking of West Berlin was illustrated in three actions:

1. Britain. the United States and France decided to equip and train the 13.800-man West Berlin police force with ma- chine-guns and automatic rifles of French make so the force could join Western troops . in resisting any invader from street to street and house to house.

2. The British military mov- ed eight 33-ton Comet tanks to West Berlin to replace light armored cars. The tanks pack 77-millimetre guns.

3. The United States start- ed building a. new regiment here with the arrival of 200 troops comprising a headquart- ers company.

Allied forces now numbering about 10.000 will be increased to about 12.000 by the end of the year. The result will be a combined Allied-Gem-ian force equal to more than two divisions. American of- flccrs calculate that. with the new weapons and co-ordinated plan- ning. such a force would be able to pin down an enemy three or four times its size.

Military units of the East Ger- man Communist People's Police. trained with tanks and artillery. nurniber about 50.000. The Soviet army in East Germany. however. is five or six times that size.

Passes First Test

The disclosure of the radar.nei- work. which charts the wapproach of any aircraft. came from Frank- furt. The first test came when a Soviet hospital plane carrying the ailing French communist leader. Maurice Thorez. from Paris to Moscow for medical treatment flew over West Germany Saturday. Radar picked up the plane and a jet fighter was sent to investigate.

The Press service of East Ger- Socialist Unity (communist) Party asserted the American fighter had iyied to "finish" Thorez. The service called the incident "an attciniatcd mur- der plot against a. peace fighter and international labor leader whom the American provoceteurs fear and hate."

The main entrance to the new. modern health centre is through the old Polyclinic building on Prince Street which was purchased by the Provincial Government in 1949. space has been reserved for a receptlcnist near the entrance who will direct thegeneral public to the various departments.

One of the big advantages of the new health centre is that it will house the Pathology laboratories. vital statistics office and other of- fices which are at present lccated in the Provincial Sanatoriim on the outskirts of the city. After Dec- ember 1. it will no longer be neces- sary for out of town visitors-to travel the distance to the sanito:- iiim for records flom the vital statistics.

Laboratories Combined

Another advantageous feature of the centre is that it will make poss- ible the comhining of the public health laboratory and the agricul- tural laboratory which are now functioning separately at the Sani- torlum. This will mean that one set of laboratory technicians will do the work.

The room hcusing the new lab- oratory is the whole width of one wing on the northeast end of the second floor. The latest equipment and large. convenient lab tables have been installed. The serology laboratory is on one side. and the bacteriology lab on the other. An incubator room and a dark room

Sleef Makes G olng Tough But Weather is Warmer. I

SEOUL. Nov. 17 -(Friday) - (AP)-Allied troops scratched out gains up to five miles against spotty Red resistance in a general advance along the sleet-struck fighting front in North Korea Thursday.

The sleet made the going rough for the foot soldiers. andcut down the around-tiie-clock bombing of Red bases and supply centres. Temperatures rose from previous near-zero levels. however.

Chinese and Korean Communists pulled back a little more in the northwest; and north-central sec- tors. The steam went out of a North Korean Red counter-attack in the far northeast.

The U. S. 1st coi-ns advanced on a 80-mile front in the r.-orthwesl against practically no opposition.

On the west and of the line. the Korean Republican 1st Division moved four miles northwest of Pakchorr. seven miles north of the Chongchoii River.

The British Commonwealth 27th Brigade rolled ilii-ough Pakchon and pushed about tlu'ee miles norili. British patrols ventured another 1 1-2 miles ahead and found no trace of Reds.

Chinese and North Korean Rodi divisions. once reported digging in on high ground west of Pakchon. now were reported to have pulled back 10 milcs.

Northeast. of Pakchon. the U. S. 24th Division sent patrols as far as Yongsong. The U. S. 1st Cavalry division -moved almost a mile north of the old walled city of Yongbyoii. The two divisions were in an arc along a front 15 miles northeast of Pakchon.
