Battle - Tested 25th Looks Back on Year of Active Life Canuck Veterans Of Korea Of Battle Proud Record The biggest, roughest, toughest "baby" born in Canada in 1950 was the 25th Canadian Infantry Brigade Group hich this week in Korea celebrated its first birthday. A ompact, hard-hitting fighting force commanded by Brig. ohn M. Rockingham, CBE, DSO, of Victoria, B.C., the for- imation already has bloodied itself in the fighting in Korea, proving beyond doubt that it is one infant with a full set | of teeth. In the twelve brief months sihce p-- lit was raised, the "25th" has had everal of its members decorated for gallantry in action; has taken its toll in enemy dead, wounded and prisoners; and has borne its own It has never had a man ender to the enemy. One of its units, the 2nd Battalion Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, on considerable recognition from other United Nations' commanders n the first few weeks it was in action and, a its here Suma near April - was DE the "us. Presidential Cita- tion. MB Canada's decision to raise a brigade group for service with the United Nations forces was an- nounced last August 7 in Ottawa by Deferice Minister Brooke 'Clax- on. Recruiting began the next morning and in the first 36 hours more than 2,200 volunteers crowded recruiting offices. At week's end more than 11,600 applicants had pen' interviewed and of this num- ber a total of 3,027 was accepted and despatched immediately to training centres across the country. QUICK RECRUITING Business continued briskly at all yecruiting centres throughout Au- gust and the first two weeks of September. Bulk of the new brigade was recruited in five weeks. In mid-September it was announced that 9,000 new men had been en- listed into the Special Force and another 1,000 officers and men were being posted from the Active Force fo he brigade; io ouspy. ey posi. ons. The appointment of 38-year-old Brig. Rockingham as col er of the 25th Canadian Infantry Brigade was announced August 9. The an- nouncement ended much specula- tion as to which of Canada's war- time leaders would be recalled from retirement to head the brigade. A week later, names of the men who would command the senior regiments in the Special Force were announced. They included Lt.-Col. R. A. Keane, DSO, 36, of Fort Wil- liam and Ottawa as commanding officer of the 2nd Battalion Royal QOanadian Regiment; Lt.-Col. J. R. (Big Jim) Stone, DSO, MC, 42, of Salmon Arm, B.C, as commanding offfcer of the 2nd Battalion, Prin- wealth Brigades. The battalion first saw action in Korea with the 27th British Commanwealth Brigade. 'The Patricias arrived at Yoko- hama, Japan, December 13, aboard the US. troopship Pvt, Joe Martinez, after a rough 19-di crossing from Seattle, They left the next day for Pusan, South Korea. CHILLY CHRISTMAS Christmas in Korea was a bone- chilling experience for the Cana- dians. Raw, bitter "winds swept through their tent camp at Pusan. But, thanks to American troops nearby, the battalion had a tradi- tional Christmas dinner and a number of parcels, the gift of women's auxiliaries in Vancouver and Victoria, were distributed Christmas Day. There even was a Christmas tree, decorated by Lt. Harold Hayes of Vancouver. The attalion moved from Pusan to Miryang for intensive training December 28, and within a week a compact, heavily-armed force com- manded by Major Gordon Hender- son of Calgary, had successfully completed the battalion's first op- erational assignment in Korea. This was a 48-hour road reconnaissance carried out for Col. Stone. The Patricias moved north to the were committed to battle for the front February 15 and a week later first time. Their first battles in- volved the clearing of hills north of Sogu and Yongdu and leading to Mounts Kalgi, Kkakkun and Maeh- wa, a campaign which ended March 14. On April 23 the battalion was called out of rest at Kapyong to help stop the Chinese who had launched their Spring drive, Later they were switched to the west to do holding jobs for the American 24th Infantry Division, the first at Chongpyongchon, the second at Nasogu. On May 1 the battalion moved in- to a defensive position north of the Han River, eight miles east of Seoul, and spent three weeks build- ing a defence line. But the enemy did not move onto it, and in com- mon with the rest of the front, the Patricias abandoned the Han on May 20 to join the drive still in progress, They've been with it ever cess Patricias; and Lt.-Col, J. A.| since. Pextraze, DSO, 31, of Montreal, as officer of the 2nd Battalion, Royal 22nd Regiment. The big task of training 10,000 new men, many with previous mili- tary experience, was turned over to Active Force instructors at Peta- wa, Camp Borden, Calgary, Wain- wright and elsewhere. From the start, emphasis was placed on training of all ranks for combat in mountainous, wooded terrain and against guerilla and infiltration tactics. All time-consuming were cut and a 52-hour per week training program mapped out. - First Canadian troops despatched to the Far East arrived in Japan late in September under command of Brig. F. J. (Frank) Fleury, MBE, of Ottawa. The group set up what has since officially become known as the Canadian Military Mission (Far East) in Tokyo and immedi- ately began paving the way for fe arrival of the Canadian brigade in Korea, TENT CAMP Brig. Fleury's small staff of four officers and five other ranks was followed late in October by an ad- vance party of 345 officers and men of the Special Force. The group, described by Army Headquarters as "a work party" sent to set up a tent eamp for the brigade proper near Pusan sailed direct to Korea from Beattis, October 21. move of all units of the ae to Fort Lewis, Wash., for the finishing touches to their com- announced No- Defence Minister Sopiete. 1 by x sit. ind ane of AAD Regimen bat was Yedunr the Def! save 000 men A troop Fleld Regi- theand 2nd Horse Artil The formation of the 3rd Bat- talion Princess Patricia's Canadian Jolin) S7ius Pawicias Canadian fl Canadian Infantry Brigade was an- nounced November 30.

SAIL FOR FAR EAST They sailed for the Far East in April from Seattle. In an order of the day issued on the eve of their departure, Brig. Rockingham said: "We leave to join a great battle, frills | bearing in each of us the honor and dignity of Canada. In training you have been tough and resourceful. In war you must bc better." Major units who sailed with the Brigade, following in the wake of the Princess Patricias, were the second battalions of the Royal Ca- nadian Regiment, the Royal 22nd Regiment and the 2nd Regiment, Royal Canadian Horse Artillery. The departure of the brigade for Korea was the signal for the move of the 25th Canadian Infantry Brigade Replacement Group from Fort Lewis to Wainwright, Alta., in mid-May. The group, still at Wain- wright, continues to hold and sup- ply replacements for the 25th Ca- nadian Infantry Brigade Reinforce- ment Group which in turn provides reinforcements for the various units in Korea. It was the end of May before the 25th Brigade went into action as a unit. Brig. Rockingham welcomed the Patricias back May 29 after three months of operating and fighting alongside other United Nations troops as the only Canadian unit in the field. Since leaving the rest of the brigade at Fort Lewis last December, the Patricias had been operating under United Na- tions command, As of August 3, figures compiled at Army Headquarters showed a t-bound | total of 227 men killed, wounded or 1 pred in the fighting there. Of this number, 52 were listed as killed in action, six died of wounds, 152 were wounded, and another 17 in- jured in action. One officer and 13 other ranks or a total of 14 have died of ordinary causes since the brigade landed in Korea. The enemy has yet to capture its first Canadian prisoner of war.

Hollywood (AP) -- The multi- billion-dollar motion picture indus- try celebrates the 25th anniversary of its greatest revolution Monday in the midst of another shattering upheaval. The anniversary marks the night of Aug. 6,.1926, when a New York movie audience watched the late John Barrymore in "Don Juan," the first sound film. c¢ The musically-scored movie had no spoken dialogue, but the ac- companying bill had some talking skits, musical numbers and a dry speech by movie czar Will Hays. That New York premiere touched off two years of violent revolution that has been called the most devastating ever to hit a single in- dustry. Millions were mad--and lost. Some big box-office stars faded be- cause of squeaky voices. The Warner brothers, who gam- bled all in pioneering the talkies, had a $16 million corporation in 1928. Within two years, the studio was worth $230 million. That revolution, shattering as it was, came from within the industry itself. That' softened the jolt. The 1951 revolut on stems from the baby giant--television. Television New Upheaval As Talking Pictures Mark Their 25th Anniversary Television is by far the greatest industry. Movie attendance is at its lowest point since the depression years. Some movie people still eye TV with a "watch-and-wait'"' attitude But others--notably Paramount -- are already in the television busi- ness. The recent quote of L.B. Mayer to the effect that the movie indus- try can provide the product and television the medium may indicate a trend. Technically, the movies have the know-how for movies or television. Three dimensional films, kicking around for years, may Be the next ble technical advance in the mov- es. These processes, which give greater depth and perspective to objects, are now past the experi- mental stage. Already television producers are moving in on the movie know-how. Cameramen, lighting experts, sound engineers and others are gobbled up eagerly by TV. At any rate, movie bigwigs are convinced of one thing--two revolu- tions in 25 years is one revolution too many.

Knight has made a lifetime hobby of patching up injured and sick birds and is widely known as "the bird doctor." As spare time volunteer with the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, ailing birds are taken to the Knight home in Burnaby, Vancouver's eastern suburb, at all times of the day and night. One recent patient was a Saw- Whet owl, sore-eyed, starved and half dead. Mrs. Knight fed it with an eye-dropper and restored it to health. "®% very rare to have a tame owl, but this one knows me now," she said. "It will fly across the room to me." She has set broken legs, cured other ailments. She and her husband love birds and have been breeding Budger- igars for 20 years. Fanciers say they own the best budgie collec- tion on the west coast. Offers Rules For Marital Happiness Bristol, England (CP) -- At a reunion of more than 200 couples at whose weddings he officiated within recent years, Rev. B. Vaugh- an Parry, of St. Anne's church here, offered the following golden rules for enduring marriage: For the husband--give your wife the morning cup of tea. Take over housekeeping for a week. Learn to cook and help to wash up. Assist with the children. And give the wife a reasonable allowance of pocket money. For the wife--keep feminine, husbands love it. But remember good looks are not adequate com- pensation for poor cooking. It's fa- tal to discuss your husband's faults with the woman next door. Don't expect a perfect husband, he would be a perfect nuisance if he existed. For both--kiss and make up after a quarrel, it pays big dividends. The modern magazine dates from the year 1737 when "Gentle- man's Magazine" was published. NEW GUINEA BIG PRODUC. OF MANY ITEMS ..Sydney, Australia (CP) -- Aus- tralia could become self-sufficient in all tropical food, bagging and beverage crops by full-scale devel- opment of New Guinea, according to the big Pacific island's admin- istrator, Col. J. K. Murrary. He said recently that he had great faith in New Guinea's abil- ity to produce all Australia's needs in coffee, tea, jute copra, rubber, and other tropical essentials. He urged Australian primary in- dustries to set up the growing and milling in New Guinea of jute or its substitute--kenaf--to make the nation independent of her annual $30 .illion import of jute and bag imports. New Guinea, with a population of more than 1,500,000 natives, and about 5500 white people, needed de- veloping on a far more ambitious scale, urged Col. Murray. A He said major factors in proper development of New Guinea were: A guaranteed Australian market and equitable price for New Guinea's hydro-electric possibili- ties. ; More men, money and 'know how" for the tremendous work ahead. Col. Murray said about 10 million natives could be carried comfort- ably, and with progressive modern health programs, the native popul- ation would double in 25 years. New Guinea was so rich she could stand both Australian devel- opment and effective improvement for the native peoples under the terms of the United Nations trust agreement. Control Of Late Blight In Potatoes Ottawa--Late blight, one of the most serious potato diseases has been observed in several fields in Ontario during the past week, cau- tions N. M, Parks, Potato Special- ist, Experimental Farms Service, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. Late blight is a fungus disease that frequently appears in potato fields in late August. It rarely oc- curs during hot dry seasons but in wet cool weather, such as this year, it becomes very prevalent and de- structive, often destroying' whole crops. The disease commonly makes its appearance on the lower leaves or stem of the plant around blos- soming time. This infection us- ually does not show until late August when cool nights and heavy dews enable the fungus to become established on the upper leaves of the plant. The blight shows on the leaves as dark, water-soaked areas which have on their under surfaces a white mildew. This mildew is made up of myriads of spores of the fungus. It is through them, when washed down into the soil by heavy rains, that infection is carried to the tubers, resulting in blight rot. The only method of control, says Mr. Parks, is by thorough spray- ing or dusting the plants with a fungicide such as' bordeaux mix-' ture, or any of the fixed coppers recommended for the control of late blight on potatoes applied in ac- cordance with the directions on the container, Mr. Parks stresses that in order to prevent loss from this disease, growers should spray or dust their potato crops with a fungicide immediately and give additional applications at intervals of 7 to 10 days, depending upon weather conditions, .
