TUCKMAN SEOU L(AP) -- Delayed more than 12 hours on a flight across the stormy North Pacific, United ' States State Secretary Dulles was due here tonight to explore with President Syngman Rhee post-ar- mistice American-Korean relations. Dules' plane, carrying Henry Cabot Lodge, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and several of the secretary's top aides, was last reported at 2:30 p.m. (11:30 p.m. EDT Monday) on its non-stop flight from Shemya Island, in the Aleu- tians, to Seoul.

Dules is scheduled to confer five days with Rhee, unhappy partner in the Korean truce. Before his departure, Dulles called the talks "a preliminary ex- change of views with the govern- ment of the Republic of Korea" prior to the post-armistice. political conference. He will discuss with the 78-year- old president a U.S.-Korean treaty to strengthen the war-torn country against the possibility of future Communist attack, and the Amer- ican plan to make Korea a "show window of the free world" by using troops for rehabilitation. The. White House stressed Mon- day thz) combat troops would not be used for construction work. A presidc# tial secretary said that in- stead technical training and equip- ment will be used to speed recon- struction of South Korea. Banners on Seoul streets gave some hint of what Rhee wants to tell Dules. The major points stressed included: 3 1. Unification of- North and South Korea under the Republic of Korea. 2. Withdrawal of Chinese Com- munist troops from North Korea. 3. Early conclusion of a neutral security pact between the United States and the Republic of Korea. CIVIL DEFENCE Natural disasters which have occurred through floods or storms in Canada have already shown what well trained civil defence vol- unteers can accomplish in helping their fellow citizens in case of emergency. Such training is valu- able in time of peace or war. TONIGHT LISTEN TO TIM BUCK NATIONAL LEADER OF LABOR PROGRESSIVE PARTY ovir €.B.L.

Mr. and Mrs. Gibbs and their five children were out of t° . house when the fire broke out. The home- less family was given shelter by neighbors. The mother and three other chil- dren, Dolores, 13, Winnifred, 12 and Kenneth, 11, noticed smoke pouring from the roof of th: house. Mr. Gibbs, was visiting friends in (the village while Betty Marie, 14 and Norma, 10, were at Sunday school. » Villagers poured water on the house from a well, but could not control the fire which is believed to have started in the attic. They managed to save a few household articles. the barn was saved. by the bucket brigade members. Pickpockets Lift Wallets Pickpockets seem to have been following Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent during his tour of Ontario last week. Following his whistle-stop speech at the Oshawa CNR station last Friday two district men reported that their wallets had been lifted from their pockets. Later in the day four residents of Brockville reported their wallets had been stolen. The Times-Gazette learned that one of the wallets taken here con- tained $100 while the other had about $80 in it. At Brockville a to- tal of $359 was stolen. Males, who carry their wallet in the left rear trouser pocket, are an easy mark for pick - pockets. The summer season also aids the pick-pocket as many males remove their jackets and the sharp eyes of a "lifter" can select his victims without difficulty. CARE WITH WATER Hunting and fishing parties who camp out in the bush should take particular care in using water for drinking purposes. No matter how clear the water appears to be, it may be polluted and should be boiled for at least five minutes or otherwise purified. ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION Artificial respiration can be a lifesaver not only for the appar- ently drowned but also for those who are apparently electrocuted or affected by asphyxiating gases.
