Keen Competition Yesterday

At Dundas Pl

A Forest Hill boy, Claude Matheson and a Dundas farmer. Frank Clay yesterday won the two major tractor plowing events at the Provincial Plowing Match held in Dundee and attended by one of the largest crowds ever to assemble for the annual event.

Young Motheson won the trac- tor two sod meet as he beat out a field of eight contestants. Mr. Clay, a cousin of Livestock Field- man. H. W. Clay. won top hon- ors in the three sod competi- tions.

Despite the bitter weather con- ditions the large crowd made the most of the facilities and enter- tainment provided. The plowing matches and the horse, classes were closely followed. The handi- rraft building was so filled, with people that it was nearly im- possible to move, the kiddies kept the swing busy. the sports en- tiiusiaats watched the athletic meet and the lunch counters were lined with people getting hot dogs and hot coffee.

And although it was mighty raid the older men and the youngsters did not hesitate to jump up on the tractors or step hrhind the plow. They worked under tough conditions but the judge. Mr. Wylie Baird of Nap- pnn. Nova Scotia had the high-

Speakers Warmly Commend Success Of Plowing Maich

Despite a chilling wind which whipped hall and rainshowers into their faces. a large crowd estim- ated in excess of 6,000 "attended the opening ceremonies at the Provincial Plowing Match at Dun- das yesterday. when at 2 p. m. Pre- mier J. Walter Jones officially de- clared the match open.

Introduced by Mr. L. S. Hunter, President of the Plowing Match Association, the Premier congrat- ulated the Auoclation on their ef- forts in expanding the annual m tch every year. and voiced the h e that in future years repre- sentatives from the whole Prov- ince. and from neighbouring Prov- inces. too. would compete. ,

Noting that the trend is towards the full mechanization oi the farm. the Premier predicted the day is coming when 315.000 to 320.- 000 will be required to equip a farm. Another type of farming will then be developed alongside, without mechanization. and will consist of market gardening on a small scale, for which there is a

DALI-IOUSIE. N. B., Sept. 26 -(CP)- The value of mature tim- ber attacked by the spruce bud- worm on crown-owned forest land in the Upsalquitch area. of Restl- gouche County as estimated to- night.-at. up to 8l00.000,000.

This estimate of the value to the people of New Brunswick in wages. stumpage dues and other income came from the New Bruns- wick International Paper Com- pany, which has proposed the greatest spraying project of its type ever planned in Canada. '

Under the plan, the New Bruns- wick and Federal Governments would share the cost with the com- pany. which also hss offered to organise the campaign. The cost has been estimated roughly at hundreds of thousands of dollars. Lands Minister Gill of New Bruns- wick announced sunday that the Province is considering the matter.

Jei: Into Action In Korea

New Chollenge To Allied Air Supremacy

By JOHN RAND LPII . N. COMMAN HEAD- QUARTERS, Korea. Sept. 27 - (Thumday) (AP) - A new Communist high-wing super Mig went into action Wednesday in the biggest single day's jet. bat- tle in history. A total of 256 Jet; took part.

Allied B-26 light bombers des- troyed or damaged 964 enemy vehicles for a record for a single day. The previous record of W8 was set. Sept. 6.

In all, Far East Air Force planes flow 980 sortlw Wednes- day. Most of the Communist vehicles were knocked out in night strikes.

On the ground, bitter fighting raged on Heartbreak Ridge in Eastern Korea with elements of the U.S. 20rd Division just be- low the crest of the bloody ridge. The crest has exchanged hands four times.

The battleship New Jersey, in support of infantry. poured 95 tons of high explosives Wednes- day into enemy positions in the Kansong area on the Korean east coast. Communists, were flushed from their dugouts by if! inch propectiles and then raked by three and six inch shelifire.

New Challenge to Allies

American fighter pilots return- ed with the news that the Reds had introduced the swift new fighter in a bristling challenge of Allied air supremacy.

The Communists lost possibly two jets and suffered damage to 12 others. the U.S. Fifth Air Force said. It did not report any Allied losses.

Two major battles were fought. Wednesday. one. the largest sin- ale lei engagement, involved 10'! planes.

(Reports in Tokyo indicated the new Red plane might be the RuSian-mad-e Mfg-19.

(High sources in Tokyo said the new darin-g and eagerness of Red pilots seemed to presage a challenge all over the Korean Peninsula. They said the Reds now may have the air strength they had lacked to conduct all-

out war.)

Huge N.B. Timber Area Threatened By Budworm

my next May "seems to be the only chance of saving this valuable forest for the people of New Brunswick who own it. and we will have only about three weeks in which to cover the huge area.

"We are ready to go ahead with our plans as soon as a decision is taken. The job is so big and the fiscal problem such that we feel there is no time to lose.”

The plans involve aerial spray- ing of 200 to 300 square miles dur- lng the period the insect is in the worm stage and before it becomes a moth.

Mr. Webb said that while the budworm was spreading over some 2,000 square miles of forest land in New Brunswick the balsam stands of the Upsalquitch had been the most seriously injured. having already lost three years' foliage growth. Failing protective action high mortality was expect- ed in stands containing about 2,000,000 cords of wood.

All Disabled

TORONTO. Sept. 26 --(OP)- welfare Minister Goodfoilow to- day pledged the Ontario Govern- ment to bring down legislation at its next legislature session to give assistance to totally and perman- entiy disabled residents aged from 1! to 65.

The plan could not be put into effect this session because of ad- ministrative difficulties in organ- ising pensions for those abatwaen 6 and 0. but he could give "a solemn undertaking” that it would be placed before thenext session.

would be "comparable to other public-assistance allowances." Prea- ent pensions to needy persons are a maximum 840 inonthly.

The scheme was "no mere gest- ure." Mr. Ooodfellow said. The government had proposed it at last Decemberis federal-provincial conference as being preferable to pensions for needy persons aged 65 to 69. but the latter plan was adopted because the Federal Clov- arnrnent.

TOKYO. Sept. 27 -(Thursday)- (AP)-Efforts to arrange a re- opening of negotiations on a Kor- ean armistice appeared today to hold only a slim promise of suc- cess.

Allied liaison officers were pre- pared to go to Kaesong, however, for a possible fourth meeting with their Communist counterparts to discuss renewal of full-dress talks suspended by the Reds Aug. W. But. there was nothing here to indicate either side was ready to budge from the stands they took at each of the first three meetings this week.

No time was set for a meeting tpday, but neither side has indicat- ed that the liaison sessions have been suspended.

Wednesday's meeting was the longest yet, lasting one hour and 20 minutes. Once again the Reds

insisted that formal negotiations

Little Hope Truce Talks Will Resume

begin immediately. And once again the Allies asked that safeguards be aranged first to prevent inter- ruptions when the meetings re- sumed.

Communist charges of Allied vio- lations of the neutral zone around Ksesong. site of the suspended truce talks. led to the,.U. N. in- slstence on guarantees against in- terruptions. Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway. supreme Allied com- mander, has told the Communists Kaesong is so close to the battle- llnes that interruptions are almost inevitable.

The Wednesday session was hastily arranged at the request of the Allies. When the Reds strode angrily from the Tuesday meeting. they did not indicate they would be back. ”

The Allied request for a meeting Wednesday was delivered by hell- copter Tuesday night and the Communists agreed next day.

YA.KllMA, Wusll.. Sept. 26-(AP) --Rain-making is coming to the Pacific northwesvs inland empire on a big time scale.

The first generators already have been set in operation to try to "s ueeze" all the rain possible from ouds over the Upper Colum- bia River system's watershed. The

hope is that enough rain may come to case a serious power shortage which federal officials

blame on an Upper Columbia River water shortage.

This project, with is government agency picking up the cheque, -is planned on a scale to make earlier cloud-priming efforts in the reg- ion look like a drop in the bucket.

Previous rain-making efforts in the northwest have been farmer- financecl in restricted areas. The farmers are still squabbling over it and threatening lawsuits. some contend made-to-order rain for nearby wheat lands slapped over and wrecked fruit crops this sum- mer. f

Aim of the effort now being launched will be to bring copious rain-fall to the dry hills of North- western Montana and' Northern Idaho, where some of the Colum- bia River tributaries will feed it down to Grand Coulee and Bonne- ville dams on the Columbia.

The target area. will be 200 or 300 miles from this area. of rain- making controversy-and away from large fruit-growing centres.

The 55-9.500 contract is with the water Resources Development Corp. of Denver. It is headed by Dr. Irving Krick. one of the better known names in the rain field since Noah.

Actually, the experts say rain- making is a misnomer. The Krlck firm does not clai its process will make rain uni as cloud con- 'ditions are such as to be conducive to normal prcciptiation.

Briiain Proiesis Expulsioirurder

LONDON, . Sept. 26 -(CP) - Britain protested strongly today against. the Iranian Governmepvs order for expulsion of 300-odd British technicians from the oil refinery centre of -Abadan.

The cabinet is expected to de- cide finally tomorrow whether Britain will use force if necessary to retain a foothold in the rich Iranian industry which her all men developed over a 50-year per- lod.

In Tehran. Premier Mohammad Mossadegh, who earlier gave the British technicians until next Thursday ioget out of the country, conferred about. security measures if Britain decides to use force.

OTTAWA. Sept. 26 -(OP) .- Canada's chronic, abnormal trade deficit -with the world worsened in August, driving the eight- month total to a peak ss37,i00.000. a preliminary Bureau of Statistics Qeport. on August trade showed to-

month deficit was S4-3.fXl0.000 high- er than the total previous all- time high of s294.1oo.00o for 1913. Another hefty trade deficit with the United states offset a relat- ively large balance with the Unit- ed Kingdom developed out of a sharp jump in export overseas.

Anxieiy 07er King's Condition Is Coniimmig

LDNDON. Sept. 26 -(OP) - Princess Elizabeth decided tonight to postpone her Canadian tour and stay near the bedside of the King during the next. few anxious days of his recovery from a lung oper- Itlon.

The heiress presumptive and the Duke of Edinburgh put off for one or two weeks their royal visit that was to have started at Quebec Oct. 2. Prime Minister st. Laurent of Canada suggested the postpone- ment.

Announcement of the post- ponement came from Clarence llouse, London residence of the Princess and the Duke. 14 minutes after Buckingham Palace warned the King's con- dlilon would cause "some anx- icty for the next week or 10 days."

The 55-year-old Monarch un- derwcnt a serious lung operation Sunday.

Latest announcements said his strength was improving, but their tone was not so optimistic as Tuesday's bulletins.

The statement from the palace tonight said:

”In connection with the medical bulletins issued periodically from Buckingham Palace. it should be remembered and although no com- plications have arisen so far.there will inevitably be a period of some anxiety for the next. week or 10 days...

A morning bulletin said:

"The King has had a less rest- ful night. but His Majesty's gener- ai condition this morning is good and progress is maintained."

Not Signed By Doctors

Unlike the medical bulletins is- sued regularly since the operation. tonight's palace announcement. was not signed by any of the King's doctors.

No official -reasonwas given for the absence of 9. medical bulletin tonight-the first time since the operation that an evening bul- lctin has not been issued. But. a medical expert. said:

"Apparently there is no change in His Majesty's condition, and. since he suffered some disturbance last night. it is very probable that his advisers prefer to wait. for an- other night to pass before giving an opinion."
