The screaming dive had ended. squarely on the target. and the missile had crashed to oblivion. New Era Of Battle And we on the ' ship knew that here, at last in actual combat, was a new era of battle-an era when electronic brains will ride into tough. dangerous places. saving the lives of pilots. Before the flight :1 Douglas at- tack piane. laden with secret elect- ronic equipment, was launched off the Boxer, soared to 2,000 feet and began a steady circling. one of the crew started the mis- sile's engine. released the brakes and it moved onto I catapult. A second attack Douglas. with a pilot at the controls. was parked alongside the catapult. The mission of this Douglas pilot: was to take the missile off the catapult. with electronic controls. It was fantastic to watch as a crew member gave the "rev-up" signal to the pilot. of the Douglas-for the engine that "revved-up" was that of the. guid- ed mlsslle. Then the missile shot along the catapult and zoomed away. Mother Plane Takes over It was still under control of the attack Douglas sitting on the fllizht deck of the Boxer. But: when the missile reached 1,000 feet the circling Douglas took control. The missile swept into the northwest with the guiding plane Just above and slightly behind it. The guide plane would steer it to the target area but in doing so would maln- concent- tain an altitude well out of flak range. I watched the -missile and its guide plane shrink to mere spects and disappear in the distance. But down in the secret room the electronic experts rode along on this epoch-making flight.----rode in the Communist valley. Immigration OTTAWA.

One of the largest crowds ever to attend a Queen's County Plow- ing Match yesterday watched some of the best plowing seen to date. The Match was held on the Pownal farm of Layton Jones and Son and was witnessed by it. throng estimated at upwards of 2,000 people. The largest entry list of the day came towards the close of the show when the delayed Open. two-sod. tractor class was called. There were 20 plowmen took to the field for this and some very keen com- petition resulted. Notlceable this year was the great increase in the use of trac- tors and a consequent dropping off in the number of entries for the horse-drawn plows. There were only two men in the field for the opening event yesterday morning and they found difficulty with the hard, dry soil as they walked behind their teams direct- ing the plows. The match was officially open- ed yeslerday afternoon by Pre- mier J. Walter Jones who also noted the decrease in the horse population. He said that in re- cent years there had been I de- cline of approximately 25,000 horses. Much of the money formerly spent for them had been put. into theipurchase of cattle. the Pre- mier sald, and the profit made was being spent on the purchase of new machinery for the farms. He expressed the belief that this was a good idea and he did not think the Province was spending too much money this way. Mr. R. R. Bell, Leader of the Opposition, also spoke briefly and referred to the earlier days of farming and the methods now employed. He was not as certain as the Premier regarding the fut- ure of farmers here. expressing the thought that more attention .should be paid to basic prob- lems. ' Hodges Continued Support Hon. 0. C. Baker, Minister of Agriculture, promised the continu- ed support. of his Department to all such events as that staged at Pownal. Also speaking briefly were Mr. W. A. Gaudet and Mr. Cameron. All speakers offered their sincere congratulations to the officials responsible for such a successful plowing match. Mi'. Elliott Robertson, president. acted as chairman for the opening. There were six classes conduct- ed yesterday and they ran from early morning till after dusk. only one class had no entries this year. It was the single furrow class for men over 60 years of age. The only horse-drawn plowing event of the day saw Mr. Ambrose MacMlllan winning and also 'tak- ing honors in all three classifica- tions: best crown, straightest fur- row and best finish. In second place was Mr. Edmund Robertson. Mr. Charles Jones won the sec- ond class. the Gang Plow Open, and also copped the prize for the stralghtest furrow and best fin- ish. In second place was Henry Jones, Hazelbrook. who turned the best. crown. Mr. Ambrose Mac- Millan was third and Mr. Richard Jenkins fourth. other Events In the three-sod tractor event Charles Jones again was the Will- ner turning the best crown and plowing the atraightest. furrow. The best finish went to Harley Ings, Mt. Herbert. who won sec- ond placc. Other contestants in order of finish were Robert Brown. Lawson Wood, Edison Smith and Preston Wood. Class 4. two-sod open. was the event with the 20 entries and created a great deal of friendly rivalry among the plowmen.
