WEDNESDAY, MAY 16, 1951 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE ELEVEN Every Soldier Can Have Houseboy To Do Everything But His Fighting By BILL BOSS Canadian Press Staff Writer With the Canadians in Korea, May 16 (CP)---There's one way to make soldiering in Korea easy: get a houseboy. A good one is worth every cent he earns: Usually $5 a month. A poor one is no trouble at all. Simply turn him loose and pick another in a country full of can- didates, The houseboy is the one touch about this theatre which makes one wish armies always campaign- ed in countries like Korea. There's nothing at all to soldier- ing--except the actual fighting-- when 'there's someone to polish your boots, wash your clothes, make your bed, "clean your tent (if you have one), brew tea or coffee at intervals during the day, and gen- erally anticipate most of your per- sonal needs. Hot water for shaving in the morning, for instance. And when he cleans your weapon, or keeps your vehicle spotless and well maintained--including greased and checked regularly--you've got ® gem. And month, There are many who don't get even that, Happy to come along a8 part of a unit, working their passage in return for food, cloth- ing and a "home" in time of war, they would be embarrassed at ac- cepting money from men by whom they now are accorded the status of fellow soldiers. Individual riflemen, naturally, haven't their own houseboys-- whose ages vary from 15 to 25. But usually there's one to each platoon and three in each company kitchen. More self-contained parts of a battalion, however, like the intelli- gence section, the headquarters of the mortar, machinegun and pion- eer platoons, the pay office and the signals office, do keep their | own. As do a few favored individuals | such as RSM. Les Grimes of the 2nd Battalion Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, who eomes from Edmonton. | The battalion draws no extra ra- tions for the boys, but army food is plentiful in the theatre and their | presence is no embarrassment. But real scrounging is needed to equip the lads with army gear--and tie resulting turn-outs are a cross be- tween Canadian, American and Korean army uniforms, But the boys appreciate anything | that differentiates them from "ci- vilians and helps them to feel they "belong." They aren't allowed to wear regimental badges or flashes but anything else their "masters" can get for them is allowed. Distinct among the Patricias' boys is 14-year-old Cho Nam-Soum, special pride of a section at battal- jon headquarters led by Cpl. Gar- vin (Bud) Smith of Vancouver. Cho, a neglected refugee from the Chongu area, first appeared in the battalion area as a conscripted "riceburner" or-bearer. Smith's sec- tion decided he was too small for all for 30,000 won ($5) a Won By PCs hill-climbing with heavy loads and adopted him as houseboy. Cho so endearea himself by his industry and willingness that Smith decided to make a little Can- adian of him, He asked his mother in Vancouver to get him a complete outfit for the boy, and today Cho swaggers about battalion headquar- ters in a suit of blue denim over- alls touched off with a scarlet neck- erchief, Canadian running shoes and he has a whole range of un- derwear, socks and shirts. When not working, Cho, in straw hat and overalls, follows the C.O. around as his "armed guard," a U.S. Army carbine over his shoul- der--but without a magazine. Pte. Mel Canfield of New West~ minster, B.C., is completing Cho's get-up by having a couple of cow= boy-type six-shooters sent from home for him. A more warlike role is discharged by the other, older, boys, such as Yong Sang-Rock, known as "Pete," 24, and Moon (Joe) Pyong-Hee, 17. They also started off as riceburn- ers, but after paling around with the machine-gunners under Capt. Andy Foulds of Vancouver were taken on as platoon houseboys. Pete and Joe would not tolerate being left behind whenever the unit went into the line. They got together their own equipment, went forward with the platoon, regular- ly dug their own slit trenches and manned them, And when the Patricias were sur- rounded April 24 and fought the Chinese spring offensive to a standstill in the west central sector, Pete and Joe between them killed 10 of the enemy. Said Pte. Pete Boldt of Simcoe, Ont., afterwards: "They're part of us now. We wouldn't lose them for the Wl aaa of PEI Recount Charlottetown, May 16--(CP)--A ballot recount Tuesday night up-| | set the election of Education Min- Clarke and Mrs. | ister F, A.

Out of twenty-one hands played only four were below game bids and of the remaining seventeen there were no less than five possible slams of which two were bid and made by several pairs. The other | three were very difficult to foresee as add distribution was the deciding | factor which made the twelve tricks possible. A total of seventeen very inter- esting hands in one evening of play is quite out of the ordinary run of | luck. The hands were ako, quite evenly divided between the two di- rections thus giving practically all pairs several opportunities of hold- ing and playing good hands. All of them were not just simple routine | play either and this added to the | interest of all concerned. | The high pair for the evening was Art Vallaincourt and G. Adams | with a total of 45'¢ pts. out of a possible 63. They could do few things | . wrong themselves and also had | some luck against a few opponents when on defence. | Their best boards were: 9 com- | plete tops, 2 tied for top and 6 sec- | onds, giving them a total of 17 ex- | cellent scores. A very high average | in any duplicated game. |! Mrs. M. Clarke and Mrs. E, Wads- | worth were in second with 5 com- | plete tops, 2 tied for top and 6 sec- onds. A very nice game but i strong enough this week. Mrs. C. Stiner and Mr, P. R.| MacLeod of Whitby were only an- | other !2 point less in third place | and scored 6 complete tops, 1 tied | for top and 5 seconds; a very nice | game also with many nice boards. The first five pains and their | totals: (1) A Vallaincourt and G.| Adams, 45'c pts; (2) Mrs. M. | E. Wadsworth, | {38% pts; (3) Mrs. C. Stiner and | Mrs. P. R. MacLeod (Whitby), 38 | ts.; Mrs. N. H. Daniel and Mrs. | |H. P. Hart, 30 pts.; (5) Mr. and | Mrs. O. S. Hobbs, 28'2 pts. Next Duplicate game is Monday | night, May 21, at 8 p.m. in the | Piccadilly Room of the Genosha Hotel. Anyone is welcome to attend | and enjoy a good game of bridge. igi MEAT VOLUME UP Washington, May 16 (AP)--The | { world produced more meat in 1950 | than ever before in history, the United States agriculture depart- ment said Wednesday.

But her admirals complain the navy is being neglected. As chief of staff in the admiralty, Commodore G. Hovdenak has offi- cially protested that the navy's share of the defence budget is too small. In a survey of Norway's de- ferce problems, he argued that the main weight of any invasion at- tempt would come by sea. But the defence ministry has decided the main emphasis will be | on building up the land and air forces. Gen. Ole Berg, chief of the de- | fence staff, has explained that un-| der the Atlantic Pact plans, Britain and the United States will bear the main burdens of naval defence be- cause it is considered too expensive for a small country such as Norway to build, equip and man big naval! units. | Norway with only 3,000,000 inhabi- tants, has a large territory to de-| fend. From the North Cape to the southern most point of Norway | bis nearly 1,100 miles and in the far north, Norway overlaps neutral] Sweden and has a common frontier | with Russia. Norway's defence tasks, as disouse | sed with Gen. Dwight D. Eisen- | hower on his recent visit, are con- | centrated on two main "fronts": | 1. The 150-mile frontier with Russia in the north which stretches | from the Arctic Ocean near Petsamo | down the wider part of the ut vik River. 2. The southern flank, the outpost of which is regarded as being By Germany. Norway has declared she will not permit the establishment of foreign | military bases on her territory in| peace time. The main task of her | forces in the event of an attack will | therefore be to hold up the invaders | until help can reach her from her Atlantic Pact allies. AWARD ATOM CONTRACTS Washington, May 16 (AP)--The Atomic Energy Commission an- nounced Tuesday the start of a program to determine the feasibil- ity of private firms producing atomic power for industry and cities, Contracts are being signed with four groups of companies to make studies that will help decide costs and other factors involved in atomic-plant construction. Plan Civil Defence On County Scale Toronto, May ay 16--(CP) -- Civil defence organization on a county scale is suggested in a letter from Provincial Secretary Welsh to On- tario mayors, reeves and county wardens. Mr. Welsh, who is co-ordinator of civil defence for Ontario, said most of the largér municipalities have formed civil defence committees, Around these it now is intended to create the county bodies. "We are recommending that the largest urban centre within the _ county accept the leadership in county planning, and that a méet- ing be called of representatives « from all communities, and a county civil defence committee be formed to co-ordinate committees already existing within the county, and to encourage the formation of come mittees where these do not exist."
