Dwellings at St. Rosette and st. Charles South had been evacuated previously. The latest evacuees raised the total to more than 200 since the fire started last Satur- day.

About 150 women and children were under Red Cross care in the parish hall at at. Therese. A hall at West Bathurst accommodated 25 more, and the others were with relatives.

Two homes were known destroy- ed. Unconfirmed reports said two or three more had been burned.

The tire continued to eat through a good mixed growth or hard and soit timber on privately owned land. It meant a loss or pulpwood and other forest products irom which many or the residents make a living.

The serious situation depended on the wind. Coming irom the south- west. it had died down tonight. A 'orecaIt of snow ilurries tomorrow rave promise oi some relief.

Anti-Reds. Are Murdered

By RELMAN MOBIN

TOKYO. Oct. 0 - (Friday) (A?) - The bodies of 25000 South Korean men, women and children - murdered for being anti-Com- munist - have been found in south Korea in the wake oi the routed North Korean Communist invas- ion army.

The total is an officially estim- ated minimum. American oificers say it mhy run much higher. Each day brings new disclosures oi Red atrocities against South Koreans.

some oi the victims were Amer- ican soldiers taken prisoner by the Communist army. The tctal oi these is not knoumi

In stunned silence. the United Nations Commission on Korean heard iirst-hand reports irom its own iield observers on atrocity slayings by the Reds.

The iield observer-s' reports were read at Pusan Wednesday by Gra- ham mcas. the mmission's acting deputy principal secretary.

Stable Market Predicted For Potatoes Next, Year

OTTAWA. Oct. 5 -(OP) - Based on present crop expectgt- ions. a fairly stable market for the lowly Canadian spud during the next year is indicated.

Government agricultural experts naturally won't hazard a guess as to the price trend either to the producer or to the consumer. but they do point to reports that blight, is reducing the potato crop.

Ii that happens. the feeling here is that producer prices. at least won't go below what they are now. At present they are about 25 cents a -bushel lower than a year ago.

Final oiilcial estimates oi the 1950 harvest won't be available until mid-November. but a pre- liminary survey issued by the Bureau of Statistics three weeks ago placed the crop then at 55,- 363,000 hundredweight against 53,- 5l8.0o0 last year.

Since then. however, there have been reports of blight iniesting the country's potato-growing areas. bringing the possibility oi reduced yields and a steady--ii mt. higher-price range. The extent oi blight will be shown in the. Nov- ember estimate.

Washington Reports

Washington reports indicate that lower United states pl'i:es ior potatoes this year may reduce Canadian exports to the American market. Canada normally exports about 10.000.0M bushels, both oi table and seed variety. to the U. 8. each year.

Potato experts here agree that the U. 8. market may be less at- tractive this yaar. However. a re- duced Canadian crop would avert the possibility of any prlce-de- preasing surplus at home.

There is at present no price- suppart prcgram ior p:tatce.!.

7 'thougri' the 'g0V'ei'hment supp:rle'd'

the price two years ago when surplus conditions developed in the Maritime Provinces.

Quebec and Ontario are the big- gest potato-produclng provinces. but they also have a large local market and consume all of their own crop. Quebec, for example, is expected tentatively to produce 15,295,000 hundredweight this year against 12,000.01!) in 194.0. while Ontario's preliminary estimate is 13,091,000 against 11.232000.

Maritime Estimates

The Maritime Provinces. par- ticularly New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. are the ex- porting provinces. both to Ontario and Quebec and the United States. This year their preliminary estim- ates are down-New Brunswick at 0.004.000 against ll.200.000 and P. E. I. at 8.314.000 aninst 8.151.000-

Nelthar Province had a large local market and both must ex-

' port.

Production in Nova Scotia this vear has been placed at 2.930.000 hundredweight against 2.904.010 The harvest in the four western provinces. which consume their own output. has been reported at around 2.000.011) each.

The western totals are higher than in 1940. but last year pro- duced a poor harvest. L .. E- ly. the expected 150 crop. though higher, actually would be lust about normal.

In terms of bushels, Canada produced N.000.000 bushels oi potatoes last year. Oi this total. about tl7.000,000 bushels went into the domestic market as consumer table stock. arrz.-nai iced and ior conversion in starch iaotories. The rest was exported or used ior 5994 ior the 1050 crop.

The higher western output this year has given rise to reports in the United States that Canadian potato production is shifting irom the eastern tn the wastem prov- inces. Oiiiclals here say this is not so. that the increase is due merely to a return to normal PTO- duction alter a bad year.

Souih Kgans Meet Siiffening i lied Reilance

By Don llutla

TOKYO, Oct. 6 --(Friday) - ,(AP)--Weary tbut high-spirited Korean republican troops iought through the most determined re- sistence yet encountered inside Communist Korea Thursday to reach within 50 air miles of the east coast rt oi Wonsan-a key United Nat one cbiective.

Bugged Anfantry oi the South Korean 3rd Division slashed through land mines and barbed wire into changlon. coastal town 63 road miles north of the 38th parallel.

The advance was made in a day-long clash oi artillery and small-arms with Reds reported to number one division and a. com- pany oi Red marines-possibly 10.000 men.

The republican 3rd Division was the northernmost speartip of a United Nations army oi more than 175,000 awaiting expected orders oi Gen. MacArthur to wipe out Rad resistance in all Korea. -

only 20.003 south Korean troops thus far have crossed north of the , 38th parallel-the arbitrary line. which ior iive years separated the Communist northern regime from the Republican Government in the south. .

The south Korean Capital Div- ision also was north oi the paral- lel. It engaged a by-passed Com- munist iorce. estimated at about 1,200, in the hills west of 1-Iwangpo. 25 read miles north or the old boundary.

Reds

Siitiening resistance by the northerners-iive days aiter Mac- Arthur's broadcast demand for their ca.pitulatlon'-bore out re- connaissahce reports of Fifth Air Force pilots.

The Reds apparently were at- tempting to regroup on a, C ' jirle lust north-oi tbe,3ath. paral- lel. It was from there that the Reds jumped off June 3 ior their invasion of the south.

The previously-iortiiied line ran frcm llaeju on the west coast to the Communist interior cities of Kumchon. Chorwon and liwschon. at big hydro-electric pcvwcr centre.

Intelligence reports. -however. indicated only three North Korean divisions were available to deiend the Red homeland now.

The Reds had committed the bulk of their army to the invas- ion of the south. and lost it when the United Nations counter-oi- ienslve and the lnchon landings oi Sept. 15 snatched victory irom them in one oi wariare's quickest. turnabouts.

Wonsan. noted ior its Japanese- buiit chemical plants. is another Commun' t strong point. It ha been heavily bombed in recent months. however. and its indust- rial war potential has been de- strayed.

Civilian refugees told AP cor- respondent willlam Jorden that the Reds were preparing dug-in positions west and north oi Cllangjon to try to slow the ad- vancing republicans-who have clogged more than 270 miles in 17 days. v

Potato Board Seeks Price Support Action

Mr. E. D. Reid, manager oi the recently formed Potato Mlrketin; Board yesterday released the fol- lowlng with relard to the activi- ties at the Board and also general information on proposed action of the Board with respect to the pre- sent low level of prices

"Yesterday afternoon the Board. under Chairman D. A. MacDonald. met the P.I-:.l. Potato Promotion Committee and last night met ten members oi the Executive oi the Dealer's Association headed by Co. G. E. Full. At both of these meet- inll a complete survey of market conditions and prospects was made,

he situation may be i-ummarizr.-rt as follows: At present we face in our major export market. the U 1 A ll END of 420 million bushels which is at least 80 million more than their normal requirements and a low level of price prevails in that country, e.g. potatoes are being delivered to New York by Long Island growers nt 31.25 Der cwi. and it was felt that suci. competition would make it most difficult to enter that counry at prices which would net the grower a worthwhile return.

"At the same time in our do- mestic market we are facing low prices irom producing areas near the consuming centrcl. e.g. in Montreal. Quebec growers are de- livering potatoes to Montreal at 75c per bag.
