Simcoe county placed second, Peterborough third, York fourth, Northumberland fifth, Durham sixth, Prince Edward seventh and Hastings eighth. Victoria and Lennox-Addington were not represented in this final class of a day's exhibition that abundantly sustained the success of these district championships. The banner was received by Lynn Fair of Uxbridge, agricul- tural representative in Ontario county from the Hon. George S. 'Henry, Todmoden, York county, who was requested to make the presentation. Senior and grand champion was the eight year old cow, "Forthlyne Dolletta Inka Posch" from the herd of Hugh Ormiston of Brook- lin; and the reserve senior, Elm- croft Farms' "Elmcroft Dewdrop M". . The junior champion and re- serve grand was '"Otonabee Sig- ney Audrey" owned by Joseph T. Tully, Otonabee. She was the win- ner of the junior yearling class. Second to her in that class, and reserve junior champion, was N. W. McConkey's "Lifloc" Signet Rebecca." Bulls Judged The male championships were decided in the morning. Senior and grand champion bull was the pride of the show, Montvic Rag Apple Marksman, owned by J. J. E. McCague and C. J. Cerswell of Alliston. Reserve grand and reserve senior was the two year old bull "Willow Slope Mah-O-War Pabst" owned by Herbert Watt of Foxboro. Junior champion was shown by Orvan Chambers of Brooklin, Way- brook Rag Apple Review; and the reserve junior champion bull was J. T. Tully's calf, "Otonabee Pabst Prospect." A silver cup for the best uddered cow, given by William J. Murphy of Lindsay, was won for the first time by Elmcroft Farms, Oshawa, on their winner of the four-year- old class, Elmcroft Colantha Rose M, reserve grand champion two years ago. The first class of the afternoon, cows five years and over, drew many favorable comments from spectator breeders. It was desgribed as one of the best classes of Aged cows ever seen at a Central Ontario regional show. The winner was shown by Hugh Ormiston of Brooklin and was later chosen as senior cham- pion.

Ukrainian Bishop To Visit Oshawa Catholic Ukrainians of Oshawa and vicinity are looking forward to the first visit of their new Bishop, His Excellency Izydor Borecki, who has been appointed by the Holy See to take charge of recently erected Ukrainian Catholic Diocese of Eastern Canada. Until last March there existed only one Ukrainian Catholic Dio- cese which covered the whole of Canada. Last March the Holy See divided this diocese into three sep- arate ones: the Western Diocese, which covers British Columbia, Al- berta and North-West Territories; the Central Diocese covering Sas- katchewan and Manitoba and the Eastern Diocese which includes Ontario, Quebec and the rest of the Eastern Provinces with To- ronto as its headquarters. Bishop Borecki, then the Parish Priest of Brantford and St. Catharine's, was raised to the bishopric together with Bishop A. Roborecki, who was at that time in charge of a parish in Toronto. | Bishop Borecki will celebrate at | a Pontifical High Mass in St. George's Catholic Church, Albert St., this Sunday at 10:30. After the | Church Service a banquet will be held in the Parish Hall in his honour. Father J. C. Pereyma, the Parish Priest, is hoping that all Ukrainian Catholics of Oshawa will attend the services and make good use of the opportunity of personally meet- ing their new Bishop immediately after the banquet. Canadian Trade Balance With US Said Improving Ottawa, Oct. 15--(CP)--Progres- sive improvement in Canada's trad- ing balance with the United States emerged today from the govern- ment's austerity program of cut- ting imports from the U.S. and stimulating exports to that market. Latest figures released by the Bureau of Statistics Thursday show- ed that this country's deficit in trade with the U.S. in August came to only $20,300,000, lowest since the dollar-conservation program began operating last November. The total compared with $28,600,- 000 in July and $71,600,000 in Aug- ust, 1947. It' brought the adverse balance for the first eight months of this year to $277,100,000 agains! $644,500,000 for the corresponding period of 1947 and $918,100,000 for the whole of that year. ' The deficit represents the excess of Canadian purchases in the U.S. over American purchases in Cana- da. The Dominion has to make up the difference out of her reserve of gold and U.S. dollars. In reaching the low August total, Canada cit her imports from the U.S. to $136,100,000 from $155,300,- 000 last August and increased her exports to $114,000,000 from $81,- 400,000 a year ago. In the first eight months of this year Canada bought $1,170,000,000 worth of goods from the US. against $1,305,200,000 in the corres- ponding period of 1947. At the same time, she sold the U.S. goods valued at $878,900,000 against $646,500,000. Imports from Britain continued to rise during August, totalling $24,- 700,000 szainst $15,100,000 last year Exports totalled $52,500,000 compar- ed with $66,000,000. Canada's favor- able balance of trade with Britain to date this year totals $276,000,000 Trade with all countries in Aug- ust © totalled $433,000,000 against $429,400,000 in August, 1947. For the eight months, total trade rose moderately to $3,600,500,000, com- pared with $3,497,800,000, while the over-all balance of trade increased to $197,200,000 against 121,600,000. King's Condition Continues Good London, Pet. 15--(CP) -- Prime Minister Mackenzie King of Canada today continued to relax comfort- ably in his hotel suite after another restful night. The 73-year-old Can- adian leader is confined to bed with an ailment of the blood circu- lation. "You can say that the word on his condition continues to be good," a member of his staff told the Canadian Press today. Thursday Rt. Hon.

Now he's introducing the west's | working night and day to ready his rented land for spring planting. way of farming on 1,800 unused acres at Ajax. Taylor, a believer in the Oshawa Missionary College Official Plants 1,800 Acres A farming operation believed to be unprecedented in extent and circumstances in Eastern Canada got under way at Ajax, Pickering Township, in Ontario County, Thursday, October 7. On land leased from the Dominion Government, embracing 1,800 acres between the Ajax wartime plant and Lake Ontario, N. C. Taylor, business manager of Oshawa Missionary Col- lege, set in motion on that date a vast array of power farm machin- ery in the hope of seeding the en- tire acreage to fall wheat. Despite an intervening heavy -ainfall, the first unit of 500 acres was seeded by Oct. 12. If weather remains fine the project will continue as plan- ned. Any acreage carried over will be seeded to early -vheat and feed grains in the spring. Food Shortage Dramatic circumstances lay be- hind this ambitious and risky un- dertaking. The usual time for sow- ing fall wheat in this district is as early as possible after harvest, generally in August or early in Sep- tember. In an interview, Mr. Tay- lor, a man with long experience in Western Canada, told the story of the project. With students at the Oshawa Missionary College drawn from all parts of the globe it became acutely conscious that world food produc- tion was falling behind the great increase in world population. Con- sequently, Mr. Taylor looked about to find a large, unused acreage of land that could be seeded to wheat 4 and feed grains, He found it at Ajax. tions was quickly approved and a formal agreement was drawn up. About the only stipulation of the government was that weeds should be kept under control on the prop- erty and along the miles of roads about and intersecting it. The Ottawa officials were heartily in favor of the plan. This business was concluded in mid-summer, New Machinery The next problem was to secure delivery of sufficient farm mach- inery. An. order for $20,000, of tractors, plows, cultivators, harrows, combines, balers, etc., was placed with The Robson Farm Equipment, Bowmanville. Mr. Robson person= ally hustled delivery through his agency for the International Har- vester Co. and the necessary units for seeding were delivered to start work last week. The machines are generally of western type. Tractors were equipped with headlights and work has gone on night and day tipping up the seedbed. Mr. Rob- son, himself, was literally on the go night and day to speed delivery of the huge order. Seed Wheat Mr. Taylor again came to Durham County to secure his seed fall wheat. His initial purchase of 1,000 bushels vl Taylor proposes to grow grain on the land, and he figures he and four men can do it. Working with him are: Nick Dudar (kneeling), Milan Pizitka, Clifford Dunn and Fred Shannon. --Globe and Mail Photos U.S. Meat Supply May Not Attain Forecast Target Washington, Oct. 15 -- (AP) -- United States Government fore- casts of a boost in meat supplies, and lower prices, by late 1949 may be over-optimistic. Made chiefly by the Agriculture Department, these predictions have been based largely on the fact that, at the moment, the relationship between feed prices and livestock prices is favorable for producing meat animals. This year's record grain crop has pulled down costs of feed, while livestock prices have remained relatively high. But reports from the corn belt, where the bulk of the United States meat supply comes from, in- dicate that farmers are not jump- ing in to expand livestock produc- tion as much as the department had expected. These reports say many farmers fear that prices may drop sharply by the time mew meat animals can be produced, fattened and marketed. This view was expressed by Carl C. Malone, Iowa State College econ- omist, before an Agriculture De- partment Farm Outlook Conference here this week. He was supported by several economists for other Western states. Malone, somewhat to the surprise of Department officials, said he does not" believe farmers will meet the Government's goal of a 60,000,000- head 1949 spring pig crop. Such a goal must be met if there is-to be a big jump in pork supplies next year. It compares with this year's spring crop of 51,000,000. The Department itself reported skepticism among cattle feeders, It said the volume of beef cattle to be fed in the corn belt this winter may not be greatly different from a year ago because of a "cautious attitude among farmers and finan- cing agencies."

Finally, in the summer of 1943, Admiral Georges Robert, French High Commissioner in Martinique and a stubborn Vichy supporter, surrendered his command under United States pressure to an ap- pointee named by the French Com- mittee of National Liberation. Until then United States warships and planes kept close watch over the strategically-placed island to make sure it didn't become an Axis stronghold from which Nazi sub- marines might strike at Allied shipping. In the 1945 general election the Communists captured 14 of the 36 seats in the General Council, the island's local governing body, and the Socialists won 12. The mayor of Fort De France is a Communist. Those who argue against closing the consulate concede that its duties are minor. But they say that with the consul thé American flag flies as an encouraging sign of American interest in a potential trouble spot should war come again. By RUTH COWAN Washington, Oct. 15--(AP)--Be- cause of military objections, the State Department is giving new thought to its recent decision to close the United States consulate in Martinique, Communist-domi- nated French island in the Carib- bean. Department officials said private- ly today that Martinique's listing in the September announcement was premature. The department said then that six consular posts, among them Martinique, were being closed, mainly for economy reasons. "No final decision has been made in regard to Martinique," one of- ficial said. He added that further meetings will be held to consider protests against closing the consulate on what military authorities are known to regard as a weak link in the Caribbean defences, vital to United States shipping lanes and the Panama Canal. When France fell in 1940, fears were widespread that the sover- eignty of the French possessions in solute power of one central author- ity," he said. Political action was the only way people could bring about the chan- ges they desired and every Cana- dian "should take an increasing in- terest in political education and in those issues which will call for their decision in the not too distant fu. ture." Sees Brain Trust Running Canada Toronto, Oct. 15--(CP)--Premier Drew of Ontario said Thursday night the participation of every Canadian is needed to limit the au- thority of what he termed an "all- powerful brain trust" whicl now ex- ercises authority "above .govern- ment, above Parliament."
