There- fore it goes without saying that the swimming and water safety film -which incidentally is in technicol- ,or, will be of unlimited interest to swimming enthusiasts and others alike. In addition to the film on swimming. there will be another film, the name of which has not been announced as yet.

The challenge was accepted and the score of that game read 17-16 in favor of Bills- boro. Another game a few days previous ended with a 36-7 white- wash for King by the Hillsboro girls. The boys from the same two squares, althoughplaylng a close 29-28 encounter the other night in favor of King don't appear to have the same love for softball as the girls. because. so far they. have not decided a data for any future en- gagements. Maybe the boys have decided that the players from the opposing square are just as good as they art. and why waste time try- ing to decide an issue that has been already cut and dried. Not so with the girls. who of course can't seem to resign themselves to even considering the fact thkt there is anyone better than they. 0 0 0 one young fellow was very dis- appointed last Friday evening at I-I-illaboro square when the Judges would not accept his pet puppy In the kitten class. This column sort of chided the judges previously. but henceforth we must take off our hats to those who perform such an unenviable task. The above incident clearly shows that. al- though the judges do not make their living at Pet Show Judging. they are nevertheless quite capable of filling the role when the need arises.

Gedtownlioad . Contract Awarded A OOIIUICI 101' paving thp Gm;-IQ. town road has been awarded to Warren Maritime: Limited of Halifax and it has been decided to make an immediate start toward Paving the three-mile stretch be- tween Poole's corner and Carol. Kan. it was announced yesterday by Premier Jones. Actual hard surfacing of the seven miles from Poole'a corner to 5901'!”-own will not likely get un- der way until early next year due to the lateness of the season. It will take at least a month to set up the paving plant which would run it close to the wet autumn Weather. the Premier explained. The paving company plans to start right away on erection of the plant. . However, the G rgetown road has been rc-built this summer and should be in first class shape for saving next spring. It is con- sidered good engineering practice to leave subgradad highways one or two years before laying "the pavement. Work will be commenced almost immediately on subgradlng the highway from Poole's Comer into Cardigan. the Premier said. This will make it possible to pave it at the same time as the Georgetown raod. Cost of the paving contract has not been disclosed because of the fact that the figure will have to be revised in view of the Govern- mant'a decision to pave the stretch into Cardigan. But Warren Mari- times Limited was the lowest tender among the three that sub- mitted bids. Island Construction Company and Curran and Briggs were the two other firms which tendered on the project, cAllAuTAi pssrnovsns Continued from page -1 j ahead the Canadian destroyers will be Employed in escort and bom- bardment taaks that will keep all crews on their toes. Commander Interviewed In an interview. Brock told me: "After such a long trip to the Far East it is most refreshing in- deed to have been given so Pmmptly these specific tasks in support of the U. N. police action in Korea. "I feel sure that before long all officers and men who worked so hard with such enthusiasm to prepare themselves for anything they may be called upon to do will have the opportunity to tus- tlfy the honor and responsibility given to us by Canada. "All concerned are healthy. fighting fit. and anxious to get on with the job." I found the only real difficulties yet encountered have been the failure of mail to reach ships since Pearl Harbour and also complete scarcity of news from Canada. , , For example crews did not know until I got here that the Govern- ment had decided to commission more ships and recruit "for all three services. Three airmail bags of letters got waylaid somewhere in the Pacific and like the first sea mail it. has not arrived yet. In every ship the sailors are ”crabbin3" about the mail situation but it. will evaporate as soon as the bags reach them. Everything has been done by ship's officers to locate the mall bags and it is now believed that the long awaited letters will be arriving within a few days. But it is hoped that some arrange- ment can be made.whereby the mail will be sent out via the R.C.A.I-'2 airlift to Japan or by commercial planes. This is of vital importance to the morale- when these young sailors are so far from home some of them for the first time. In Fine Condition The crews look in terrific shape. They are tanned like natives and so healthy that medical officers have only had a few.cases to deal with so far. The heat is almost overpowering though. For the past two days the temperature gogrcd to 100. The stakes; in the boiler and engine rooms have the toughest job of all for down there the heat Jumps to 120 or 130.

' letter From Continued from page 1 five of the riding was held. it would doubtless be decided to call a con- vention of the Liberals to offer me the nomination to contest Glen- 33"'3'- Many of our friends with Wlwm lpsboke on the day after the Convention seemed to feel that if I could win. in an Ontario con- stituency. this would be very much to the advantage of the Party as a. whole. I find this to be the View Pretty generally held. and I have no doubt it will be shared by yourself. The situation in Glengarry is by no means clear at the moment. The United Farmers of Ontario have called a convention for Wed- nesday the 20th instant for the purpose of selecting Federal and Provincial candidates. It is lliouglltl by some of our friends in Glengarry that any nominations made will relate to the general elections. and that, so far as the forthcoming by-elections are con- cerned, the Farmers will not put anyone in the field. especially if it is understood that there is a Possibility of my being offered the seat. I am in no way com- mitted to accept a nomination from Giengary. should it be ten- dered me by the Liberals of t'hat riding. At the same time. I have expressed my willingness to con- sider an invitation to contest the riding if it should be extended. and to avoid if possible coming to a final decision until after the Farmers' Convention has been held. I appreciate what it would mean to me to accept the nomination so promptly and generously extend- ed by the Liberals of Prince. The certainty of election which it en- sures. as well as its probable inter- pretation as an expression of great confidence on the part of the Lib- erals of the Province of Prince Ed- ward Island as a whole. makes the invitation most attractive. Had I only myself to consider. I should certainly not hesitate to wire an immediate acceptance. Seeking. however, to view the situation in all its bearings. I have thought it best to ask Mr. Morley M. Bell. and the gentlemen whose names are associated with his in the wire rec.eived from the Liberal Associa- tions of Prince. to allow me. if possible. an opportunity of further conferring with friends in the dif- ferent provinces before reaching a final decision. I am asking a few of our friends in whose judgment I am disposed to place every confidence in these matters to meet me in the early part of next week with a view to determining finally what course it is best to pursue with respect to the by-elections as a whole. We should know by that time how the Glengarry situation is likely to de- velop. and I should then be able - to acquaint friends in Prince of any cnncensus of opinion at which we may be able to arrive. I should be deeply grateful if. in the in- tcrval. the matter of a final ac- ceptance might be left in abeyance Meanwhile. I should be glad to be favored with your own views. and those of the gentlemen who wired me, as to what in your combined judgment would be best. should the way open. as seems possible. to an election in Glengarry. either without opposition or from fairly good chances of success. I should perhaps add that some of our friends in the West were kind enough to suggest my running in Asslniboia. The desirability of representing an Ontario con- stiiuency. in preference to one in any other province. was brought up also in this connection, and seemed to carry weight. It has been pretty definitely determined to have A.-sinlbola contested by someone resident in the consti- TOKYO.-(By airmail)-on the surface, you would never know that a major military campaign in Korea is being directed from Tok- yo. The city is as unwarlike a head- quarters spot as I have ever seen in a war theatre. The millions of Japanese in the city seem com- pletely oblivious to the conflict across the narrow strip of water on the Asiatic mainland. At least. they profess little interest in it. I've talked to scores of them here and they never volunteer any opinions or comments on the aft- uation. Tokyo. crawling wlth peo- ple. zoeg about its business as if Korea was in Africa or the Arctic. There are very few American soldiers in the city. The vast ma- jority of the occupation forces have been sent to the battlefront already and those who are left here know they might get the call any day. Australians Left The mainstay of the occupation force now is the Australian bat- talion-about 600 strong. This is all that is now left of the Com- monwealth occupatlon force which once totalled 40,000 with Austral- ian. New Zealand. British and In- American Command Caught Badly Unprepared o By The Outbreak In Korea (snail so the Guardian by less mm) dian troops. Gradually they were returned to their own countries and the one Australian battalion remaining was due rto go home- but Korea happened. It remains here. as smart a looking outfit as you could see anywhere. I put it in the lame category as the Princess Patricla's Canadian Light Infan-try. The Aus- sies mount a guard at the Canad- ian mission here. The men in this battalion can volunteer for the Australian force for Korea if they wish. But the battalion itself is not being com- mitted to the war, because it is essential for occupation police du- ties with most of the American -units now at the front. And Aus- ditional ground why. perhaps. I should not too quickly arrive at a final decision. The wisdom of this, I am sure you will appreciate. This is a somewhat lengthy let.- ter. and were I to explain the sltuationto the gentlemen who have written me. on behalf of the Liberal Associations. I should be obliged to traverse again the same ground. The fewer communica- tions that pass until this matter is finally determined. perhaps the better. Under the circumstances. might I ask that, after the receipt of this communication. you would be so kind as to allow Mr. Morley M. Bell, Mr. Robert Agnew. and Mr. Peter M. Pate. to peruse its contents. I shall write these gen- tlemen explaining the correspon- dence I have had with you and mentioning this request. It is unnecessary. I am sure. for me to add how highly honored I feel by this great mark of confid- ence on the part of fellow Lib- erals and yourself in Prince Ed- ward Island. In pausing for I moment to gain from other minds an expression of combined wis- dom. I hope my friends in Prince only subordinating personal inter- est and inclination to what seems to be the larger interests of the Party as aP whole. - Allow me. in conclusion, to take advantage of this. my first com- munication to you. to say how ax- cepttonal was the pleasure of malt- lng your acquaintance. and how much I covet an intimate associa- of our Party and Country. I shall' look to you for counsel and ad- vice. and shall find in whatever you say inspiration as well. Willi warmest personal regards. Believe me. dear Mr. Bell. Yours very sincerely, fSgd) W. L.

Remarkable Recovery Tokyo has made a remarkable recovery, from the Second World War, the old Japan hands say. The city was badly bombed. Many sec- tions were laid waste. But you can see little evidence of destruction anywhere now. There are none of the ruins you see in Berlin. Of course, houses here are mainly "made of wood. not brick or stone, and reconstruction is that much. easier. So is the clean-up. Tokyo simply hums with activ- ity. The stores are doing tremend- oua business and there is a vast variety of goods for sale. The people look reasonably well fed and the whole strange-colorful life of the Orient has been restored -here with exceptional rapidity. But you nnd the war tensions. the anxieties and the concern in- side the American headquarters buildings lining the sweeping Av- enue "A" opposite the Imperial Palace grounds in the heart of Tokyo. I have been in and out of the buildings. talking with American officers and some of the Austral- iana and the atrrtosphere can be only described as gloomy. This Korean business has been a tough one. Inadequate Intelligence It is conceded now that the Arn- erican command was "caught" on this whole aggression b ll did not have adequate intelligence information on what -was going on in North Korea. 'I'h.i.a ln-ltial error hae been coma pounded by a series of misfort- unea that have been a terrible blow to the Americans running the show here. The whole thing has staggered the headquarters which was germ ed to the slow-motions of occupa- tion duty and not to the imperat- ive urgency of waging very bitter war. . I think myself that the U. 5. command here will, soon settle down and do a smooth job of run- ning this campaign. But in all honesty. this is not the case all present. - (Copyright Southern News Service), FOR SALE Tinsmiflt. plumbing and carpenter fools. "Elat- forrn scales. M o f o It boot gas tanks. AppIv- .
