Let's Talk It Over . U "I"
Now that I begins to look as if a new auditorium might be built in Summarside this spring, we are impelled to repeat what we have said a few times beforp-to wit.- we hope the important matter of acoustics will not be forgotten while the structure is being erect- ed. Possibly it is presumption to remind modern architects of such a detail. and if so. we crave their Indulgence. Certainly when thoold High School auditorium was being erected. not so many years ago. sound projection was not very scr- iously considered. if at all. A stage whisper never got further than the footlights.
When Mr. Richard MacDonald. director of the Dominion Drama Festival with hcadqu scan in Ot- tawa. was in Summerside last fall. he expressed a willingness to
(M. come to Sumrneraide at the time
of the building of this auditorium and give his views on the im- portant matter of acoustics. Mr. MacDonald has a lot of experience in such matters. and his advice might be invaluable should those in authority see fit to request his services.
In Memoriam
JAMES STANLEY BTGGAR.
The community of Stanley Bridge and surrounding districts were saddened on the morning of March 12 to hear of the passing of Mr. .1. Stanley Bigger at the age of 66 years. He was the younger son of the late Charles and Emily Williams Biggar.
Having spent all of his years in this community. he was re- spected for his integrity. honesty and trustworthiness in .all his dealings. His word was his bond. A lover of all animals. this trait was exemplified in his fine horses and he always found much plea- sure and enjoyment in caring for them.
He was a kind neighbor and that he had many friends was plainly shown by the large num- ber of people who gathered to pay their last respects and by the many messages of love and sympathy received by the sor- rnwing family. His passing will leave a great void in the home. where his fatherly advice and counsel were always sought.
He leaves to mourn his wife. formerly Addie Drummond of Freetown. and one son, Lawson. at home; also one sister. Mrs. Bertie Baker of Summerside. A brother. William W. Biggar, pm. deceased him in June of last year.
The funeral. which was largely attended. was held on Monday afternoon. March 14. from the Presbyterian Church at Clifton. The services at the church and grave were conducted by the Rev. E H. Bean of the Kensington Presbyterian charge. who brought a comforting message to the be- reaved. Hymns sung by the choir were "The Lord Is My Shepherd" and "Nearer My God To Thee” with Mrs. Angus Green as or- ganist.
Pall bearers were Ray Douglas. Essie Wright. Fred Drummond. Wilbert Drummond John Andrews and Lorne Hauston. interment was in the People's Cemetery at New London. Funeral arrange- ments were in charge of Joseph L. Davison.

The family of the late Stanley Blggar wishes to thank all their kind neighbors and friends for their many acts of kindness dur- ing their recent bereavement. al- so sincere thanks to all who sent flowers. cards and messages of sympathy.

The company had a 828,758,000 deficit last year and has budgeted for a surplus of 3500.000 this year. He cited the smaller rate of lay- offs on the CNR as one of the factors involved in its deficit. He also said that, while the CNR was cutting operating expenses generally by S32.600.000 or about five per cent. the CPR was cut- tins by s44.5oo.ooo or lot per cent Meanwhile. the CNR's operating revenues dropped by 856000.000 or eight per cent while the CPR's went down 341000.000 or 10.6 per cent.

Norlhem Defe Expansion Plans Considered
uJoundland.'!hoI.iMuo hei a
By DAVI Mcl.N'l'0SH
Canadiala Press ltaff Writer
0'l'I'AWA (CP) - Canadian and American planner. now are con- sidering a vast pansion is Can- ada of North America's defence network.
The expansion would entail more alrfields, more fighter planes and more radar to control the inter- ceptor operations of the fighters.
Besides the matter of how such an expansion would be paid for the problem arises: Who would supply the manpower to operate such a defence tnblishment - Canada or the United States?
A high government source says the federal administration before long must make a decision on whether if wants to bail for Cams disn sovereignty -- that is. whether it is willing to pay the omplete costs of home defence. and con- sequently U. 5. defence-or permit many more American forces into Canada to do the ion.
CONSCRIPTION POSSIBLE
This authority said that. if the Canadian government decides to shoulder the entire burden. or most of it. the Canadian armed forces. particularly the RCAF. would have to be greatly expanded.
This in turn. he said. poses the possibility of conscription in Can- ada in the next few-possibly five -years.
This is an indication of how ser- ious the problem of North Ameri- can defen has become in the Canadian and U. S. governments. Less than a year ago. government sources were saying they could see no possibility whatever of peace- time compulsory mllitary service in Canada.
The new attitude has been brought about by two factors. The chief one is the increasing speed of jet bombers. The second is the wide devastation which can be caused by hydrogen bombs.
NASTY SHOCK
Officials have said that the un- veiling by Russia of new pet bomb- ers last year came as a nasty shock. And the speed of jet bomb- ers is increasing all the time.
That cuts down the available time interceptor planes would have to get into the air and knock down enemy bombers carrying hydrogen bombs.
Therefore. to obtain defence against faster air attack from the polar regions equal or better than what now is available against pre- sent-day b o m b e r s. fighter alr- field, squadrons and control radar will have to be pushed farther and farther north.
The authority said it would seem unreasonable for Canada to carry all the costs and supply all the manpower for Canadian J ' .which. in effect. would be defences lfor the U. S.
? MANPOWER PROBLEM
There might be no great. politi- cal problem in regard to costs. For instance. the U. S. is paying the major share for building the DEW Distant Early W a nu i n g radar line in the Canadian Arctic.
But. at least politically. the problem of manpower is far more delicate. More airfields and more planes in Canada would require more servicemen -- many thou- sands more.
The question of Canadian sover- eignty hali sometimes been touchy subject for the government.
There now are some 3.000 Amer- ican servicemen stationed in Can- ada. not counting the some 12.000 at the three leased bases in New-
Eisenhower Does Not Look For Chinese Action
WASHINGTON fAPl-- President Eisenhower does not believe Red China is prepared to cause any major conflict in the Formosa straits in the weeks just ahead.
The president does not share the view that a Red Chinese at- tack might be made on the Na- tionalist-held islands of Quemoy and Matsu by April 15: He has rejected this estimate of the alt- uation by some military sources, reported from " f dur- ing the week-end. '
Information reaching the White House indicates that Red China lacks air bases and supplies to back up an amphibious assault on the islands Just off the Chinese mainland.

If the job were to be done by Canadians. they would probably have to be obtained through corn- pulsory military service. The srrned forces new number about lm.000 and in recent years the army has had some difficulty keeping its strength at approxim- ately 50.000. By the end of this year. there will be only 200 Canadian fighter planes ready to meet an air at- tack on this continent. This force would be augmented. of cnurso. by hundreds of American fighters based in the U S
The coming problem for the Canadian government is: Should many of these American fighters be stationed in Canada and. if not is Canada prepared to pay heav- ily. in money and manpower. for adequate defence against air- attack?
Lond;;'skSTill' Without Papers
LONDON (AP:-Londoners went without newspapers today for the fourth successive day amid signs of a slight shift of position by the two striking unions.
The walkout by the Amalga- mated Engineering Union and the Electrical Trades Union has shut down London's 10 big morning and three evening dailies since last Friday morning.
The unions demand hi ghe r wages and have declined a pub- lishers' request to have the dis- pute submitted to government ar- bltrstion. But George Tilhury. an official of the ETU. told report- ers Monday night his union "does not reject. arbitration entirely." Labor Minister Sir Walter Monckion told the House of Com- mons Mnnday he was keeping in touch with both sides.
Execution At Vancouver Jail
VANCOUVER (CF) -- Fisher- man Peter Bordcniuk was hanged just after midnight Tuesday for the shotgun slaying of a woman with whom he had lived for 18 years. the drop silencing his cry that be was not given a fair trial.
The trap was sprung at 12:06 a.m. PST and the quiet-manner- cd 60-year-old fisherman was pro- nounced dead Ill minutes later.
As he dropped from the gal- lows of Oakalla prison farm. his cry. "He did not give me a fair trial”. was brrfken off.
Bordeniuk was convicted at the assizes in Nanaimo. BC. last November in the slaying of Anna Plesko. 48. His last hope for re- prieve vanished Monday when pri- son officials advised him that the federal cabinet. had decided not to interfere with the execu- tlon.

iii Oniilhl !1 Wednesday. March . 1955 Exports Think Reds Could Take Matsus
& IPINOII MOOSA
TAIPEI. Formosa (AP) - The vulnerable Matsu islands. will almost within the shadow of the Red Chinese mainland. could fall to die Communists at any time- If the Red wanted to pay to
price. the estimate of cont
That's observers here. but thqr say I assault probably would cost the Communists three times the ol- ualtiu the Chinese Natlonalhh would suffer.
Qualified quarters say lacy can see nothing to indicate that a huge attack against the Mataus is near. These sources, who do- clined to be named. insist the Reds need much more time D build up.
SEVEN ISLAND!
The term the Matsus is. for convenience. applied to the seven islands held by the Nationalists off the mainland port of Foochow. capital of Fukien province. and about 100 miles northwest of For- moss.
The islands have a total area of less than 12 square miles. Five lie south of the I-Iuangchi penin- sula in this order: Kaoteng. Peikantang. Malsu. West White Dog and East White Dog.
The two others are Langtao and Vinshan.
If anything holds back the Reds. experts here think. the rea- sons are political rather than military. They are likely to at- tack when the polilical climate is favorable.
VABIED ATTACKS
The Reds hale several courses open to them. They could strike at the heart of the Matsus - the island of Matsu itself - or they could move on stepping-stones. as in the Tachen area. There they took Yikiangshan. where 720 guer- rillas were reported to have died rather than surrender.
Yikiadgshsn brought the Reds within eight miles of the Tachens.
Then what Chiang Kai-slick called a painful decision was made a withdrawal. It was cnvered by the United States 1th Fleet and without interference.
Thlsltime. though; Chisng says: No more retreat. ,
Chemical Stops Blood Clots
OTTAWA iCPl A lowrod chemical to prevent. blood clots af- ter serious injuries has been de- veloped by the Maritime regional laboratory of the National Re- search Council at Halifax.
The council announced Tuesday that chemical tests show the new anti-coagulant is - --poisonous in large doses and remains active for required lengths of time.
An NRC spokesman said the anti-coagulant now is being tested clinically in hospitals. It is not yet in commercial use.
Basic material for the new anti- coagulant is kelp. a . e of sea. weed which is cheap an abundant on the east coast.
Anti - coagulant: prevent quick clotting of blood interfering with the supply of blood to the body. Coronary thrombosis. a form d heart attack. is such a condition.
The best anti-coagulant now in use probably is heparin. NRC said. It can be obtained only from livers. is difficult to prepare and expen- sive for continuous use.
Another is dlcoumarin. obtained synthetically from some plants. However. it has several disadvan- tages compared with heparin.
