Uneasy Lull Over Rainy Front Line SEOUL (AP)--The greatest Com- munist offensive in more than two ears of Korean fighting stalled at temporarily today in the face of drenching rain, stubborn South Korean resistance and blistering Al lied artillery fire. Gen. Maxwell Taylor, U. S. 8th army commander, visited the east- central front for the second straight "Washington Post", day and amnounced that the line |g had been "stabilized." But an uneasy lull hung over the 20-mile front where more than 80,- 000 Reds rolled up solid gains in a big-scale two-day onslaught. Weary RoK troops bolstered their defences and waited for darkness, and possible new assaults. Havy rain lashd troops, soft- ened roads and sent flash floods down mountain ravines.

(1840) 21 cerning South Korea's Sonic Booms Scare Samia SARNIA (CP) -- Two mystery blasts which startled this petro- chemical city today may have been due to United States Air Force jet planes breaking the sound barrier. Maj. J. B. Selkregg, director of public relations at the U. S. air base at Selfridge Field, Mich., said in a telephone interview with the Sarnia Canadian Phbserver that three F-86 Sabre jets were on a training flight over the Sarnia area about 10:10 a. m.--the time the blasts were heard. He said one plane reported breaking the sound arrier. When the explosions were first heard, Sarnia police attributed it to a plane crash on an Indian re- serve at the outskirts of the city. However, an intensive ground and air search of the area failed to turn up any trace of a plane. The blasts sent a flood of rumors through the city. Polymer Corpor- ation issued an official denial of reports that the blasts had occur- red within its plant.

It was moved to send another letter to the coun- cil asking for further consideration of this matter in the interests of safety. It was too easy, it was stat- ed, for children to succumb to the temptation to throw things in one side of the bridge and then run to the other side to watch them float through. Road Engineer Is Given Wage Boost At a recent meeting of the East Whitby Township Council, the road superintendent gave his report which developed into a general dis- cussion in connection with roads and bridges.

Beare of Green- bank, County Weed Inspector, when ready to start spraying for weeds. The condition of the townline was discussd and it was decided that for the time being it should be given another coat of Calcium Chloride.

He also report- ed that a family had been found living in a truck on the road side in the Township but when advised of the By-law they had moved out. He also advised that the situation with regards to living in garages on the Bickle subdivison had now all been cleared up and that Mr. Bickle was including more restric- tions in his deeds when selling lots in future. The letter from the Clerk Treas- urer, County of Ontario, enclosing certified copy of By-law 1747 to quali the t of real property in the County of Ontario on which the 1954 taxes will be lev- ied was noted and to be filed.

After discussion it was suggested that this matter be taken up with the Planning Board at its next meeting and that Mr. Winters should get an expression of the feelings of the adjoining ratepayers to present at this time. Walter Holliday appeared on be- half of the school Area Board and requested that a Drinking fountain should be installed in the school in the township hall. It was decid- ed that this drinkin should be installed in the hallway and that the School Board should bear the cost. He also asked if this school could be decorated and af- ter discussion it was decided that the school board would look after this also. Mr. Holliday also asked the Council if he could buy the Road- way through his property between Lots 6 and 7 in the 9th Concession. The Reeve is to find out the pro- cedure to be followed in a case of this kind from the County Clerk.

Besides serving as a supervisor, Miss Robertson doubles as a mech- anic or plumber when the filter plant acts up. Facilities have been much improved this year though, she says. Thanks to the Rotary club the pool now has new showers, new foot baths and new dressing rooms. Sabre Jet In Crash ST. HUBERT, Que.

(AP)-- Head for the hills, men--they're making steel rolling pins. Houseware manufacturers, never come up with a shiny, new model of the old, wooden skull-craeker. They say their chrome-plated, steel rollers "last indefinitely, don't warp and can't crack." 'The 'can't crack" claim, the manufacturers admit, only takes in the pin itself, not what it might come in contact with. The pins and hundreds of other gadgets are on display today at the national housewares manufac- turers summer show.
