'Urge Polish io [3 "Vets To Stay 'On Farms : A letter from the Federal Depart- : ment of Labor addressed to Polish < war. veterans who have taken up ! farm employment in Canada has : been received by the local office of : the National Employment Service. 'The letter points out that many of : the veterans who came to Canada in 1946 will soon complete their : undertakings with respect to farm © employment 'and expresses appre- .: ciation for the good work they have - done and the contribution they 'have made to agriculture.

Government assistance in place- ment as farm workers or advice in cases of veterans wishing pur- chase farms is offered. The Polish veterans are strongly urged to re- main in agriculture since this field offers the best chance of making progress in Canada.

Asks Communists To Produce Paris, Dec. 6.--(CP)--Russia was challenged in the United Nations today to show proo that the "Peo- Korea in a free government, Peter Fraser, Prime Minister of New Zealand, thumped the table as he declared in U. N. Political Committee debate. "If there is a free government in North Korea, produce it." Fraser led the attack on the Rus- sian-sponsored regime which shut out U.N. observers when they tried to supervise elections there earlier this year. The U.N. observers were admitted to United States-occupied Southern Korea where they supervised the elections which resulted in estab- lishment of the Korean Republic. Fraser said Russian block at- | tacks on methods used to conduct the elections in the American zone were "claptrap." Soviet spokesmen charged the South Korean elections were held | under "a wave of terror" and that | the "cards were stacked." | "There is not one scrap of evi-| dence," Fraser said. "What we wafit is proof. The United States cannot | be expected to lie down in Southern Korea and take it." | Earlier the a Russian proposal for immediate debate on the future of Italy's pre- committee rejected | | war colonies. Dmitri Maniulsky of the Ukraine | contended that the Canadjan dele- | gate on the United Nations Korea | Commission had said South Korean | elections would be inappropriate | and unconstitutional. ! "Today this unconstitutional de- cree is being handed up to us; "Isn't that a mockery?" said Manuilsky. L. B. Pearson, Canadian Eternal | Affairs Minister, said he plans to reply later to Manuilsky. Dr. George Patterson of Toronto, | is Canadian representative on the Korean Commission. | Manure and Mixed Fertilizer Trials The value of 'farm manures in the maintenance of soil fertility has long been recognized. Among their | beneficial effects are the return t the soil of such plant nutrients as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, | | and the supply of organic residues | and bacteria which increase the hu- mus in the soil. and improve the | physical condition. [ The composition of barnyard ma- | nure in regard to the major fertility elements which vary according to | methods of storage, but may be | taken as approximately 50 per cent | nitrogen, 25 per cent. phosphoric | acid, and 50 per cent potash. A ton | of manure in terms of nutrients is | equivalent to 100 pounds of a 10-5- 10 fertilizer. The availability of the nitrogen in manure is somewhat slow, and the residual effects of manure on crops appearing later in the rotation are prone to be more pronounced than those from com- mercial fertilizer. Manure and commercial fertilizer have been compared in a rotation of mangels, oats, clover, and tim- othy on a loam soil, over a long period of years by the Field Hus- bandry Division, Central Experi- mental Farm, Ottaway says A. J. MacLean. On the basis of 36-year averages, manure applied at 15 tons per acre for the mangel crop, in- creased the yields over those ob- tained on untreated plots by 15.39 tons, 20.0 bushels, 1.81 tons and 1.25 tons per acre of mangels, oats, clov- er, and timothy, respectively. The corresponding increases from ap- plication of 100 lbs. of nitrate of soda, 300 lbs. of superphosphate and 75 1bs. of muriate of potash for the mangel crop, and 100 lbs. of nitrate of soda for each of the other crops were 13.26 tons, 17.9 bushels, 1.34 tons and .76 tons per acre of man- gels, oats, clover, and timothy, re- spectively. Although less effective than manure, commercial fertilizers alone have maintained relatively good yields. As a supplement to manure, su- perphosphate is to be recommended on many soils. Where manure is not available, or in limited supply, commercial fertilizers are valuable substitutes.

We know that it was abandoned in Oshawa be- fore 5.30 p.m. Police said they would. like to know where Thompson stayed Wed- nesday, Thursday, Friday and Sat- urday "its and how he got from Oshawa to Brockville. They said they were investigating Thompson's financial affairs. Company offic- ials estimated he carried $115. Thompson was to be returned from Montreal this afternoon for questioning. ard detectives planned to go to Montreal to continue their investigation. 'Montreal, Dec. 6. -- (CP) -- A stocky man with a headache today sat in a business office here and monotously told questioners that he | didn't know who he was but "hop- | ed" he was Robert Taylor Thomp- son, Toronto truck driver who dis- appeared last Thursday. The man appeared this morning | at the offices here of the National | ist receipts | cash Register Company--the firm |exceed British which had employed Thompson at its Toronto office--and asked em- ployees who he was. He showed o| them a label, taken from his trous- | ers, which bore Thompson's name and that of the company. When interviewed by The Canadian Press, the man was clear-eyed, clean-shaven and his square, stubby hands were steady as he puffed at a cig- arette and answered questions. He said he couldn't remember anything before last night when he came to his senses while loading a "big, red truck" in Brockville, He said that after the truck was loaded, it started off for *"some- place" and drove all night. When he awoke, the vehicle was pulling up to a "station" in Montreal. He didn't know it was Montreal, who he was, why he was there or any background, he said. But he went into a cigar store, found out where he was, bought a razor and shaved. Then, he related, he found the identification tag sewn to his trousers and went to the company offices on Craig Street. Because he was an employee of the Toronto office, no one recognized him, How- ever, J. B. Lynes, manager of the Montreal branch, said that "he tal- lies to Thompson's description to some extent." He was quite coherent in his con- versation but said he was suffering from a headache. "I sure hope I'm Thompson," the man said. He was vague on virtually every question asked him. When asked how he knew he was in Brockville last night, he said he "must have seen road signs." He had no recollection, he said, of what kind of truck he travelled in and he had not talked to the driver "because I was sleeping." He said he didn't know which "station" he was let out in front of in Mont- real, He also said he had no recollec- tion whatsoever previous to last night. Company officials said they were in touch with their Toronto office in an effort to identify the man positively.

L. JONES Canadian Press Staff Writer London --(CP)--Tourist trade-- tourism they call it here-- has | blossomed into Britain's biggest dollar-earner and is still growing. Before 1948 is out, an estimated 500,000 visitors will have come to Britain, spending £40,000,000 ($160,- 000,000) including fare payment, a record year despite unsettleds in- ternational conditions. About half of what they spend is in the dol- lars that Britain badly needs. And next year, says the British Travel Association, 560,000 tourists | are expected to spend from £47,000,- | 000 to £50,000,000 in this country or | with British transportation firms. | About 100,000 of this year's visit- iors were from Canada or the United States, contributing an es- timated £12,000,000 to the dollar ! pile. More than 150,000 of 1949 vis- itors are expected to be from North | America where huge advertising | campaigns are now under way. A recent gc .rnment White Pa- |'per on European co-operation | placed travel as Britain's most | favorably-balanced trade with the | dollar area. It showed that tour- | ipts from North America tourist purchases | in- North America by a bigger mar- {gin than in any other item of | trade. : That, of course, is because Bri- tons are restricted to an annual | holiday allowance of £35 for foreign Tourist Industry Is Dollar-Earner In Great Britain travel, forcing most of them to ge to nearby continental countries or stay home. In the first nine months of this year 410,000 overseas tourists came to Britain, 'excluding "in transit" visitors--tHose who passed through the country en route to other des- tinations. All records were broken during the summer months. And even in September, when tourist figures normally 'decline, there were 42,333 visitors this year, 24 per cent more than the 71936-37 average and 25 per cent More than in 1947. With government encouragement the Travel Association is going all out to boost tourist figures still more. Millions of attractive fold- ers, booklets and posters are being distributed, spreading a "Come to Britain" message and pointing out that it is possible to have a good time in austere Britain. The government is helping by such steps as a special gasoline al- location for touring motorists, spe- cial clothing ration coupons and efforts to improve meals served on boat 'trains from Southampton to London. \d Britons, always good hosts, are even more so these days. For they realize every foreign visitor who touches Britain's shores helps bet- ter the dollar position and speeds the day when they themselves will be able to enjoy restriction-free travel once more. 3 | Berliners Berlin--(Reuters)-- Russian-con- trolled radio propagandists in Ber- lin are today "talking largely into a vacuum, "according to Col. Gor- don Texter, director of the United States military government's in- formation services division, who has just concluded an official survey of radio listening in the blockaded western sectors of the German capital. ; The survey showed that eight out of every 10 radio 'listeners tune in most frequently to RIAS, the Unit- ed States-sponsored broadcasting station, This percentage of listeners com- pares favorably with the results of polls in September 1947 and Febru- ary 1948. The initial sounding put RIAS audience at 38 per cent, while the survey five months later show- ed that it had grown to 57 per cent. Thus, although the proportion of radio listeners to the total Berlin public has dropped in the last six months from 67 to 61 pef cent, the American station in the same per- iod has increased its audience by 23 per cent and, in the space of one year has added more than 40 per cent of all hearers to Ws "most frequent listeners" category. The curtailment.of electric power necessitated by the Soviet blockade of the city has been a factor in re- ducing overall Berlin radio listening. Within a few days of the imposi- tion of the blockade, however, thousands of Germans in the Amer- ican sector were congregating in front of pavement receiving sets in- stalled - by the United States-spon- sored radio outlet which now broad- casts on a round?the-clock schedule. The survey showed that in the past year the Soviet German-lan- guage station, Radio Berlin, which t Listen To U.S. Program Not Soviet Radio in September 1947 included about one half of the entire listening group, has lost more than two- thirds of its adherents. In August, when the blockade was two months old, barely one in six radio listeners in Western Ber- lin listed the Soviet-sponsored broadcasts as "most frequently heard" and only one in 20 stated that the Russian-controlled station was his favorite. The "Voice of America" broadcast, received every night by short wave from the United States and relay- ed by RIAS, according to the pub- lic opinion poll, claims the atten- tion of seven listeners in 10 or 45 per cent of all adults in the three Western sectors of the city. Of the Germans who said they listened to this program. 54 per cent declared a liking for it, and an ad- ditional six per cent. volunteered the information that it was their choice among all broadcasts. Only five per cent indicated that their reactions were - unfavorable while four per cent said they were unable to make up their minds. The poll also indicated that the sharp' wit of Berliners is overcom- ing Communist-inspired promises and threats and the attempted iso- lation of their city. Three radio listeners in five stated that they tune in to the American station's satirical political commentary, "Var- ady Funkt Dazwischen" * (Varady Intervenes) which uses barbed irony to expose the absurdities and contradictions in the actions and claims of the Communist dominated political parties. Of those who listen to the com- mentary, 58 per cent are persons who went to school for 12 or more vears as compared with 35 per cent with eight years or less of formal education.

Safe Blown (Continued from Page 1) Constables Frank Godley and Gor- don Keast, under the direction of Corporal Gordon Campbell, are in- vestigating. "They used enough 'soup' to blow the building apart," P.C. Godley re- ported. 'Soup is the term used by sale- crackers for nitroglycerine. One opinion was that the robbers were amateurs since only a small amount of nitroglycerine is used by experi- enced cracksmen to blow open safes.

Five men in the two engines jumped to safety Just before the crash without injury. In the darkness of the murky morning engineer George Montgom- ery of Toronto said that he had not seen the white tail light on the pusher engine to be able .to distin- guish it as an engine until he was about five car lengths away. Hastily applying his emergency brake, he and fireman George Henderson of Mimico, leaped from the slowly moving train just before the crash. Charles Chase, 62-year-old brake- | man of Fort Erie was riding in the | engine at the time. Unable to get the | door open on the north side of the | engine, he crawled out the window, | bracing himself on a tiny ledge | until the crash. He was thrown | clear, and lit on his feet like-a gat, unharmed. * Montgomery and Henderson, run- ning down the embankment which has a small pond at the bottom, were fearful that the engine and train cars might roll over on them, but both engines and several following cars stayed upright. The train was estimated to be travelling about 15 miles an hour at the time of the crash. Engineer Charles Jarrett and fire- man Anthony Dixon, both of Nia- gara Falls who were in the plisher engine, leaped to safety before the two engines came together. Two cranes, one from Fort Erie and one' from Hamilton were dis- patched to the scene. Officials said they expected the line to be clear- ed shortly after noon. An inspection of the site did not show any tracks torn up. on 18 PERSONS HELPED Eighteen persons were given re- lief in East Whitby Township in November. Total cost was $364 the council, which met on Saturday af- ternoon was told. As is customary relief recipients will receive an al- lowance for an extra week at Christmas. That amounts to about $2.50 per recipient. START WORK ON SCHOOL Work of clearing the old Bishop Bethune Property on Simcoe Street South in preparation for the erec- tion of the new high school build- ing is well under way. Trees have been felled and cut up for removal and a buldozed has level'ed off some of the ground. TWO C COLLIDE In the early hours of this morn- ing a minor accident took place at the corner of Eulalie and St. Julien Streets. A car driven by Brian Par- kin, 16 Gladstone Avenue, and owned by his father, collided with one driven by Lorne H. Fice, 16 Orchard, View Boulevard. Damage was minor. Apparently neither driver stopped at the corner. REGRETABLE ERROR In a report in Saturday's issue of The Times-Gazette of the ban- quet of the Willing Workers of Harmony, it was stated that Mrs. O. A. Lander and Mrs. J. Green- tree, were presented with silver trophies in recognition of their many years of splendid service to the organization. This was a typo- graphical error, as these ladies were presented with silver brooches set with marquisites. In the same report the name of Mrs. Mike Kas- hul was given as Mrs. Krashul, in error.
