Front-line dispatches said Wonju, key to all roads South, was hit hard shortly after 3 a.m. Allied units were In heavy action North and West of the town, reported AP correspondent John Randolph. An even heavier Red assault struck and surrounded Chlpyong Western bastion of the central front, Tuesday night. The Allied force In the town still was under Intense enemy attack at 9 a.m. The Allied units were trapped 'In a pass near Chipyong, Randolph reported. The 20-mlle front between Wonju and Chi-yong blazed with Allied and Red gunfire. Chipyong is 35 miles East of Seoul and 20 Northwest of Wonju. Strong Chinese forces punched Southward toward the main Won- ju-Yoju road in an effort to crack the U. N. line across Korea and cut communications lines. Yoju is 18 miles West of Wonju and 12 South of Chipyong. RECAPTURE INCHON This was the second phase of the big Communist push to divide the U. S.

Analyzing the Soviet striking power and United States'-Jal'r :de- fences, Vandenberg said ''Russia "now has at least 450 planesi that can strike our major ponulatloh' an dihdustrial centres from bases in the U.S.S.R." (A reference to Russian conies of the B-29). He expressed belief that no conceivable defence—not evenlcidal charges behind the roll of such a preoostcrous device as a r drums and bugles and shepherds' five-mile high steel fence around the country backed by an broken radar screen, a perfect warnlni system and an umbrella of fighter planes—could fully stoo a determined bombing attack. "Should war come." Vandenberg said, "we can he exnected to destroy no more than 30 per cent of the planes making an attack In strength on the United States before bombing missions are com- nleled. And our preparations to- dav are not beefed (built) up to achieve even that figure." The U. S. must realize, the four-star general said, that Russia might sacrifice bombers In one-way atomic attacks on American industrial centres. Vandenberg said a large-scale raid probably would Include only a few planes carrying the A-bomb, "Even If the enemv had 100 (atomic) bombs—which she hasn't now—she could not afford to throw all into one raid." he said. As for the. ability of the U. S. tp strike the enemy. Vandenberg said the "B-36 has more speed, range, armament and carries a ' heavier bomb load than any big nlane In oneratlon today, or any plane the Moscow rePime can get Into mass production In the next few years."

NELSON BOY SCOUTS ASSOCIATION Cranbrook Gyro's Ice Carnival Big Hif Despite Two-Day Chinook o»7 CHANBEOOK, B.C., Feb. 13—The artificial ice installations for which the Gyro Club here is .working, would have come in handy for its Ice Frolic here Saturday. A two- day Chinook thoroughly sabotaged the ice in the new Memorial Arena, but the event was staged anyway before the biggest crowd ever to assemble, nearly 2000 people. The afternoon performance was cancelled to Save ice for the evening. Maxine Staples, candidate of the lumbermen committee of the club, was ice queen, attended by Margaret Schvetz and Francine Barre, candidates of the hotelmen and merchants committees of the club. The queen contest, in process through a vigorous campaign throughout East Kootenay for the past six weeks, resulted in a record return, just short of $6000 net proceeds. James Davidson was in charge of the highly successful skating revue which occupied the evening. Taking part in the program were Spokane Silver Skates Club artists Bob Clossin and Dale Plewman, comedy act, Marilyn Boothe, Timothy Brown, Roberta Irvine, Gail Jackson and Linda Barnard, and from Glencoe Figure Skating Club in Calgary, Wendy Egbert, Rosemary Hall, Carol Irwin and Ellen Sweeney. North Star Skating Club of Kimberley and Cranbrook Skating Club, who share Alta and Louise Harvey as professional instructors, provided group numbers for the program, and individual numbers by Deanie Alward and Fat Brown of Cranbrook, and Marie Kershaw and Sarah Law of Kimberley. The Gyros are spearheading drive to raise funds for installation of an artificial ice plant in the arena at a cost of about $33,000.

The estimate was $500 more than the original estimate submitted last year and $1000 more than the final estimate after revision by the Council, it was pointed out. This was largely made up by the hiring of a full-time assistant at $115 a month. If the library was operated under the Public Library Commission, fully trained librarians would have to. be employed at "very much" higher salaries. An additional $250 was being asked for books. Amount allowed forjhis had been held at $1000 for 1he"past four years. This sum, however, bought fewer books each year because of increasing prices. Salaries wobld total $4010 for librarians, janitor and secretary; books $1250,- and various routine expenditures, $1310, it was estimated. This would be reduced by $250 expected in revenue from subr scriptions and fines. ADMINISTRATION LETTERS GRANTED .

The- Thrift Shop had a balance of $191 in the bank at the end of the year after donating the $800 to the chapter.

It is the essence of our national effort. At the same time we can appreciate the difference between the Scout indention and that of ourselves forced into a position of defence. The Scout preparedness is the preparedness for I friendly living, for, healthfully con- : tributing and growing toward a better 'citizenship. And certainly :that is a good thing. We could wish no better j for any growing boy. ■" The Scouting organization is peculiarly well equipped in method and |j experience for its role as adjunct to home, church and school. Its methods are time-tested, its promise and law elevating and sound, and its purposes great. And its product is a better boy and eventually, consequently, a better citizen. \ .

If Dr. McCusker were to retain this position, in event of health insurance, he would have to support it. Dr. McMillan says he often has seen life savings of families eliminated by a few weeks of unexpected illness. Most other physicians have had the same experience, and probably have equal sympathies for the financial victims of such misfortunes. They only differ as to the method by which health services can be provided for all without this occurring. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Letters may be published over a nom de plume, but the actual name of the writer must be given to the Editor as evidence of good faith. Anonymous letters go In the waste paper basket, German Botanist First Recorder Of Bluebell Find To the Editor: •Sir—Your pictorial number of Jan. 27 is most interesting, but am sure that some students of local history will take exception to the statement concerning David Douglas, the botanist, irt the Cominco story about the Blue Bell Mine. David Douglas never saw Kootenay Lake, and the nearest he came to it was when he travelled up the Columbia River with a Hud-' son's Bay brigade in the Spring of 1827. His journals, carefully written and containing detailed accounts of every day's happenings, make no mention of any expedition to Kootenay Lake.; This error has cropped up more than once and can, in all likelihood, be traced back to Dr. G. M. Dawson's Geological Report of 1887. In this he states with reference to the Blue Bell, or the Big Ledge as it was then known, that it "was said to have been discovered by the botanist Douglas in 1825". Dr. Dawson was evidently just passing this statement on for what it was worth, and it was accepted as a positive fact t f] . During early fur trading days ,this ledge was in all probability quite well known to'. Indians, trappers and, traders, but it was, npt until 1844 that its discovery was recorded KM Karl Andreas Geyer, a young German botanist' and explorer in the service of the Hudson's,. Bay Company. Geyer obtained leave of ab^;. sence while employed at Fort Colville, and, later,; while exploring the body of watepvjheri knowh as Flatbow Lake, discovered the' silver- lead'outcrop which was to be khojvft many years later as the Blue Bell Mlriei^T'his was the! first recorded mining'discovery a in the Kootenays.

Anscomb Cigars Cost More Than Pensioners Budget, Says Mother To the Editor: Sir—So the Hon. Herbert Anscomb thinks that social services in this Province have gone too far, does he? Some people have more nerve than they know what to do with. Mr. Anscomb gets $10,000 a year as a Cabinet Minister. On top 'of that he gets pdid handsomely as a director and shareholder of a brewery and as a shareholder and managing director of a wine company. So Mr. Anscomb gets at least three salaries at the same time,* one public, two private. ' , The wonder is that he does not feel that $10,000 a year is payment enough to spend all his time doing the public's business, and the greater wonder is that he now has the brass- bound nerve to tell retired civil servants, who did spend all their time at the public's business, old age pensioners, mothers and widows, etc., living on what he spends for cigars every month,, that they are getting too much in the way of social services. The B. C. Tories might call another convention. They should be ashamed to have a man like that as their leader. MOTHER OF TWO. Vancouver, B. C.

The expenses in these days are usually shared. Formerly the bride's parents provided flowers for church and home decorations, the carriages—or cars—to Jake bride, bridesmaids, special guests and family to church, «nd they used to bear the whole cost of reception. The bridegroom provides his own conveyance to church, and in older days lt was in that conveyance he took his new wife away from the church, after the ceremony to the house of tho reception'. He bought the wedding ring and bouquets for bride and attendants, usually giving each bridesmaid a souvenir of the occasion. From his pockets also came fees .for the clergyman and any "tips" connected with the affair. Nowadays the bride often pays for the reception and buffet-lunch, and even the bouquets. It is usually wiser to discuss these matters beforehand, as there is no hard and fast Aide. • ;-' "(interested, Nelson—Where was the Hon.

But the Federal election of 1911 threw Prince Rupert into the scrap heap where it remained until the'Pearl'Harbor episode when the Americans took possession and expended some $16,- 000,000 on rail and port fixtures. But the $16,000,000 proved to be dead capital when the Americans^ folded their tents until the arrival of a U. S. company with the Columbia Cellulose plant which ' is absorbing many millions of dollars, and is claimed to be the biggest thing of its kind on the Pacific coast. And now the Aluminum Company of Canada Is spending $500,000,000 on a plant that covers the ground between a huge dam pit the. Grand,;' Canyon on the Ne- .cpako Rlyer to 'a smelter at or near [Hartley Bay/ on tidewater; WHY? Here the capital question mark appears on the horizon as to why "when the American people have such' faith in Prince Rupert and its surroundings" is it that our people refuse to use their own railway .and port to ship the 7,000,000 bushels of grain tp. Japan.. Now,, h>t i,us: f,oi » minute, consider.1 "as;;fe 'tj'pW'i'P^i.nce Rupert fits,in as an overseas,;port for our great cdf'ifldoif' across; ftie '■■ top of the West1; V , B'T } )?■'-.:', -X . •'Dawsoil'' Crjee«t, 'BjC„;!

Prince Rupert has a grain elevator\ that will load three or four boals.at'one, time.1 She has, a shipyard 'and drydiick that would look after any. repair work a boat may need. She also has one of the three No. 1 harbors of the world. All of which Is within 400 miles of Dawson Creek, our railhead of the Northwest. Thus, if the necessary railway between Hazelton and our railhead was a reality, which it should have been many years ago, as lt would have opened up one of the richest coal, waterpower and mineral fields in the world, every mile of the new line would be a revenue producer. 400 MILES AGAIN8T 1300 Now as we are shipping a consignment of wheat to Japan, and the Peace River Country is making their consignment, thus a wheat train has left Dawson Creek for that purpose, but when this train of, say 40 cars reaches Edmontgn, the wheat has been hauled 505 miles, or around 100 miles farther than if it had been shipped dlreot to Prince Rupert. ,At Edmonton this train Is divided on a 50-50 basis between the C. P. and C. N. railways. The C.N.R. hauls their 20 cars 771 miles and the C. P. hauls their 20 cars 835 miles and the wheat is landed in Vancouver. But the wheat in the C.N.R. train has been hauled 1276 miles while the grain in the CP. train has travelled 1340 miles as against some 400 miles if the grain had been shipped direct from Dawson Creek to Prince Rupert. The Vancouver Sun has announced the arrival of a Japanese boat for the first cargo of this 7,- 000,000 bushels of wheat we are shipping to Japan,' but the boat sailed 500 miles extra in order to pass up Prince Rupert and arrive in Vancouver, and when she arrives at her home port with her cargo she will have sailed another 500 extra miles. This will be repeated by each of the 20 boats that is supposed to make the round trip. Now let someone take a pencil and figure just how many miles of extra.- sailing' will have to be done to get the 7,000,000 bushels of grain over to Japan. Then, surely, this small sea of figures mingled with common sense and common reason tells us In no uncertain language that tho 7,000,000 bushel shipment to Jopan should hav\s been shipped I through Prince Rupert by all the laws of God and man. What a boost that shipment would have given Prince Rupert in developing hei into a strong port on the Northern Pacific which our country now needs as we.observe the war clouds climbing over the Northern horizon.

It ca,n edge, trim, gangsaw, and bandsaw wood. Its owner, Phil Quelch, a British Columbia engineer, spent 11 years and 10,000 hours to get it in production. "I built it as a hobby in my basement and patterned it on the typical lumber mill on the West coast," the 47-year-old engineer said. . , "An awful lot of It is built from odds and.ends," he added. "I've got a lady's glove, parts of a baby carriage, old sewing machine, washing machine, cream separator, chandelier, piano and a gramaphone in there. "To get it in operation I made more than 2000 cap screws, nuts and bolts. I made 31 feet of conveyor chain out of wire and I cut all the teeth of the various saws by hand. The model as you see it .is .exactly the same in operation as in a normal mill."

NELSON DAILY NEWS, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 14, 1951 — » Market Trends NEW YORK, «'eb. 13 (AP) — A strong showing in the aircraft division put life into the market but profit-taking cut gains back sharply all around.
