Pin which broke out about lour o'clock Sunday morning complete- ly destroyed the fine residential property of Captain John L. Read at Borden. It is understood that the fire originated in the bedroom of the hired man from s mattress which had been ignited by a cig- arette. Upon discovering the fire the hired men attempted to thhw the burning mattress out of kite window before giving the ala m and in doing so was overcome by smoke fumes. It was some time before Captain Read and the family were awakened and by that time the fire had gained consid- erable headway. The unconscious man was removed to safety and an immediate alarm was sent in

to the Borden and Summerside fire departments. Unforunately the equipment

from Borden was found to he out of order and by the time the A. R. P. equipment from Summerslde arrived the fire had gained such headway that the residence was beyond saving. Most of the down- stairs funniiture and‘ part of the furnishing on the second storey were saved but a considerable amount of family belongings such as winter clothing and bedding were lost.

All other buildings located near the house were saved through the hard work of the two departments and local residents who assisted. During the fire Captain Read narrowly escaped serious injury when a ladder on which he was standing. broke and he fell to the

‘ground, a distance of about twenty

feet. A medical examination re- vealed that no bones were broken nor any internal injuries received. At the time of the fire ille- strong ,wind ’ which prevailed throughout Sunday had no-t arisen which made it possible to save the barns and other surrounding buildings.

Captain Read yesterday Inform- ed ‘The Guardian that the estimat- ed loss would be about $20,000 partly covered by insurance.

OTTAWA. June 1—(CP)—New, controlled price mcresses on a

sntail list of commodities, includ. in: soup and cotton products will result from s. further rcdtiction in import. subsidies being pal-d by the Government on imported cot_ ton and cotton products. inedible fats for the making of soap and some imported leathers, the Prices Board announced tonight. The re- duction is effective tomorrow.

In the cotton field the subsidy reduction amounts to 2.8 cents a bound. bringing the Canadian base price for raw cotton from 24.4 to 27,2 cents a pound.

The action will be accompanied by a realignment of the domestic price structure for fabrics and yarns to remove Idi-storted price relationships which have develop- ed since the base period in the fall of i941." the Board said. This in turn will reduce the amount of subsidy payable on imported fab- rics and yarns in order to bring them into Line with the domestic price.

At the terns time. the Board announced minor adjustments in the prices of rayon and rayon fab- rics to offset increased costs of certain imported materials. Board officials pointed out that the price changes will eventually affect prices of some cotton and rayon products. For example. fine shirts will probably go up about 25 cents. Prices of work clothing. however. will not be affected.

New‘ Soap Prices

Partial removal of the inedible fats subsidy will result in price increases to the consumer of ap- proximately one cent a bar on toilet sea-p, two cents on laundry soap and the small size package of reap flakes, five cents on the medium szie package of soap flakes. andun cents on the giant size packages of soap flakes.

officials said that for the first time in more than five years manufacturers’ prices will be

slightly above the 194i bass period

t price levels.

To offset the increased costs of raw and pickled sheep. goat and kid skins resulting from the re- ductlon or elimination of import subsidy on skins and leathers. maximum prl-ces for leather made from these skins will be increas- ed by lo per cent the Board said. Prices of gloves made from these leathers will be increased by five per cent at all trade levels.

UNIVERSAL MILITARY TRAINING iN u. s. URGED

It said the American army hasi

forces have only 2 1/3 full com- bat. divisions available for duty.

The nine civilians of the Com- i mission said American involve- ment in war could come “at any time" through some aggress on in a distant part of the world.

More Troops, Not Less

The commission rejected the argument that atomic bombs and other new weapons have elimin- ated the need for mass military forces in wartime. On the con- trary, it said that in a future war. more troops, not less, would be quickly required “for home de- fence, for effective counter-at- tack. and for complete victory."

Therefore the commissioners re- commended imanirnousiy- despite “a considerable disparity of view- point." among them before they‘ began their study—that Congress. adopt. “at once" a plan for com- pulsory training of all 18-year- old males. '
