The Red Cross Committee for First Aid. Swimming and Water Safety met at Red Cross Head- quarters on Wednesday. April lbth with Mrs. E.M. Bagmll meslding. Reports show that there are eighty qualified First Aid in- structors in this Province at the ifresent time. Thirty-two First Aid posts are located at different loc- alities from Anglo Tigniish to North Lake. The volunteer First Aid attendants at these posts sub- mit monthly reports of the free treatments rendered to unfortun- ate victims of accidtuds. Already sixty-one have been given First Aid during 1051.

The attendants at. the First Aid posts are either registered nurses or trained first raiders. However. there is maintained a constant at- fort to improve the standard of this service. The latest method of refresher course is that of an Ac- cident Problern Quiz which is mailed to all First Aid poet It- tendants. at intervals.

The following First Aid post at- tendants submitted the best an- swers for the first two assign- ments: Mrs. Ray Brawn. Rich-

mond, Mr. Joseph Neale, Bear River; Mrs. Reginald Palmer, Freeland, Mrs. Waltiron Du-ggan,

French River, Miss M.A. Mac- Leod, Bridgetown, and Mr. Joseph Neale, Bear River.

Requests were considered for the establishment of First Aid posts at Loretta, Cape Wolfe and MacNcill's Mills.

Plans were discussed for this summers's swimming and water safety program.

RED PRESSURE

u

days of the Red offensive-but the long. dusty U. N. columns were well south of the Red van-guards. The bitter action in the west and the steady stand in central Korea took a mounting toll of Communist lives. Unofficial est- imates placed at nearly 30.000 the Reds killed since Sunday night. The Allies still were swapping

ground for Chinese lives. The withdrawal in western Korea left U. N. forces above parallel

38 only in the central mountain sector and on the comparatively- quiet. east coast.

Munsan fell Thursday to Chi- nese storming down a main high- way leading from Pyongyang, the Korean capital. It is one of the two historic invasion routes to- ward Seoul. the shattered Korean republican capital.

Recapture of Munsan places the Chinese ill miles or less from Seoul.

On the next main road cast. of Munsan, Red infantry masses surged to Changgo. four miles in- side South Korea and 26 miles north of Seoul. There they were 15 miles north of Uijongbu on the Allied withdrawal route.

Associated Press corre , -' -. Jim Becker: reported the Allied line on the central front "remain- ed flrm demite withdrawals" of some units. Becker said Red pressure on the central front gen- erally cased.

Allied artillery threw up such a curtain of fire that one field commander reported it was not necessary, for his lnfantrymen to use their rifles.

At the U. 8. Eighth Army head- quarters. a spokes-man told AP correspondent Robert Eunson that Allied units on the western trout were fighting "I magnificent de- laying action." -

A. relaxing of censorship per- mitted Eunoon to report on the valiant standing of the Gloucester- shirc battalion of the 20th British Brigade in a pocket northwest of Uljongbu.

The battalion was one of the key undts on the Imjin river when the screaming. cymioal-clanging Chinese waded across Sunday night. On one flank were the Norihumlberland Fusiliers, fighting with flowers stuck in their hel- mets from a celebration of St. George's my only a few hours be- for

Both promised there would be no Ialcs tax if they gained power.

U.S. Aid In

By Aitriiun GAVSHON LONDON. April 26- (AP) -The Labor Government, shaken by ledt-wing Lhundaringa. called for American help to check I. raw materials crisis threatening the y! economy. It got a prompt response.

State secretary Dean Acheson pledged at. it Washington press conference that the United States will take "full account of essent- ial needs" of friendly countries in allocating scarce raw materials. The U. S. will prey for increased production and for efficient use of existing stocks. he said. Foreign Secretary Herbert Mor- rison wuroed in I speech before the A erlcan Chamber of Com- merce here that Britain's living standards, her economy and even her rearmammt. drive will de- cline unless she gets more essent- ial supplles. He said the Govern- ment will cut the living standards before the 1-ea:-moment program if the scarcities continue. He pleaded for the U. S. to help.

It was upon the living standard vs. armament issue that the Laibor Government a l in o s t. ioundercd earlier this week.

Crush llevolt

The Labor Party has geared up its machine to crush a revolt by left-wingers who declare the guns-loefore-bui.ter policy won't work. Leaders of the revolt are Aneurln Bevan. Harold Wilson and John Freemamwho have quit their government jobs respective- ly as La-bor Minister, president of the Board of Trade and parliam- entary secretary to the Ministry of Supply.

All three had attacked the size, speed and method of financing the country's 313.160.000.000. three- year arms program.

The Labor Party's national ex- ecutive committee over-ruied the objections of Bevan and his hand- ful of friends today and, in an official statement, called on all members to stand iinmiy behind the Government and its ”fair and reasonable budget."

Then the Labor movement's in- clusirial wing-the Trades Union Congress representing 8.000.000 or- ganized workers-officially ex- pressed regret that certain min- lsters resigned "at I time when the Government is beset by seri- ous international problems and is under heavy opposition attack in parliament."

Nickel (10. To Boost Output

TORONTO. April ZS-(GP)-Im ternotional Nickel Company of Canada. Ltd.. will increase nickel production by about 1,000,000 pounds a month. beginning before the year-end, Dr. John F. Thomp- son, chairman and president, stat.- ed at today's annual meeting.

The increase will be achieved through emergency facilities and will add to present capacity pro- duction of 20.000000 pounds a month.

Dr. Thompson said "defence re- quircments oi Canada. the United Kingdom and the United States are supported by a supply of Can- adian nickel which far exceeds the supply believed available to countries behind the iron cur- taln."

He stated that all military re- qulrernents of the Western na- tions are being -met and deliver- ics are being made to national stockpiles, but the abnormal over- all demand has exceeded current supply.

"Moreover," he added. the "cur- rent lnflated demand has come when we have no new surface deposits such as the Fraud-Stobie open pits which can be called upon for an additional output." Dr. Thompson said Inter- national Nickel "has entered into arrangements to design a pilot plant at Huntington, West Vir- ginia. for the United States Atomic Energycommission. These government-owned facilities will be leaded to. and operated by the company."
