King left England by air Wednesday night, and was to arrive in Montreal Thursday at 10:15 a.m., Edmonton time. His 22-year-old bride, Bonita, disappeared on their honeymoon voyage while the Ascania was at sea last Wednesday. She was not aboard the liner docked at Liverpool, and investigation to date has failed to solve the mystery surrounding her disappearance. Mr. and Mrs.

Joseph Hinchliffe, 10050 152 parents of the missing bride, were anxiously awaiting the return of their son-in-law. So far, they have received no details of their daughter's disappearance. Mr. King's parents, Mr. and Mrs.

W. L. King, 11149 65 also have received no word, with the exception of a brief cablegram delivered Wednesday night. Their son in the cable only that he was leaving by air. It is not known whether Mr.

King will fly directly from Montreal to Edmonton. He and Mrs. King left Edmonton by car after their wedding here July 15, and stored the car at Montreal before boarding the Ascania. He might drive the car back to Edmonton. Mrs.

King was the former Bonita Josephine "Bonnie" Hinchliffe. She and Mr. King were married at St. Paul's Anglican Church. They had known each other for about 18 months, and had been engaged since early in June.

Crop Outlook Termed Excellent Another bumper grain crop for. Alberta is indicated in a crop report issued Thursday by the provincial agriculture department. The report describes prospects for a good crop in 1952 as excellent.

In most districts, it is stated, moisture reserves are sufficient to fully mature all early crops. Only in scattered districts of eastern and northern Alberta is additional rainfall required. Warm weather has cut hail damage, and crops generally have made "satisfactory progress." The report estimates that 432,800 acres in Alberta have been devoted to principal grain crops. This is a two percent increase over 15,193,800 acres seeded last year. Toronto Students Due Here Friday Students from 16 Toronto secondary schools will arrive in Edmonton by C.N.R.

The 30 were the remains of a staff of more than 100 experts who were able to stand up to the grind demanded of them in counting Edmonton's record 039 valid votes in the Aug.

5 provincial election. The 30 named the seven Edmonton seat winners- -but only after staying their feet unwrapping, tabulating and counting and distributing ballots almost without a pause for exactly 36 hours. They started at 7:00 p.m. Tuesday and finished the job at 7:00 a.m. Thursday.

Because of the 26 different counts involved, and the distribution and of preference choices ballots, during rechecking, that 36-hour period they handled ballots at the rate of almost one per second, without a pause. That is. the vote-counting crews went through an estimated 129,000 individual ballot handlings. A crew of more than 100 started 4 Men Arrested In Highway Chases Two stolen cars were recovered and four men are in custody as a result of R.C.M.P. work early Thursday.

At 1:30 a.m. a police highway patrol chased a stolen car near Westlock, west of Edmonton, and arrested the two occupants: They gave their names Fortin and Donald Karoff. The vehicle was stolen from Barrhead Wednesday night. At 4:30 a.m. R.C.M.P.

at Wetaskiwin arrested two men travelling in a car stolen from Edmonton. The pair were chased from Millet, where they were reported to have walked out of a restaurant without paying the bill. The two men gave their names as Donald Rutledge and Thomas Cain. R.C.M.P. said the four men arrested will face charges of car theft.

Insect Damage Light This Year Alberta grain-growers have been exceptionally lucky this year as far as crop-destroying insects are concerned, according to A. M. Wilson, field crops commissioner. Reports of insects damaging grain have been remarkably light, Mr. Wilson said, and farmers in nearly all areas hope to get through the year with a minimum of damage.

Heavy infestations of English grain aphids have been reported by farmers in southern Saskatchewan. It was believed the infestation was carried by the wind from the northern United States. Mr. Wilson said grain aphids have invaded fields in this province "off and on" over the years, although serious damage has been rare. He said no aphids have been reported in Alberta this year.

Grasshoppers have caused some damage in the Peace River area this summer, Mr. Wilson stated, but these have not infested large areas. Sprays have been used in the Hines Creek area of northwestern Alberta to keep the 'hoppers under control. EDMONTON HEARING AID CENTRE SALES AND SERVICE 104 CLARKE BLDG.

He is C. Berkinshaw, of Toronto, president and general manager of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. of Canada, who is visiting Edmonton. Mr. Berkinshaw, who is staying at 1 the Macdonald, is accompanied on a western tour by Henry G.

Harper, vice-president in charge of sales. They were met by J. L. Riddell, Edmonton branch manager. During an interview here, Mr.

Berkinshaw was asked to comment on the report in June by Combines Commissioner T. D. MacDonald to the government on the alleged existence of combines in Canada's rubber industry. "The report is in the hands of the minister of justice and commissioner has expressed the opinion that a combine existed in the rubber industry in 1947 and part of 1948, or five years ago," said Mr. Berkinshaw.

"Under these circumstances, it would be inappropriate for me to comment. Naturally, I do not agree with the commissioner's conclusions," he said. Mr. Berkinshaw expressed his satisfaction with the increase in the firm's business in the Edmonton area. Sales in the first seven months of this year were substantially ahead of the same period of last year and also better than the average increase for other branches in the country.

Both tire and industrial sales have increased. Mr. Berkinshaw said rubber supply is adequate. In the past two years, the Polymer Corporation at Sarnia had increased capa- R. C.

BERKINSHAW city for synthetic rubber, which was supplying the Canadian market and also providing some for export. The Goodyear president said crude rubber is in adequate supply. Four manufacturing plants are operated by the company, these being at New Toronto, Bowmanville, St. Hyacinthe, and Quebec City, Quebec. Commenting on the price of tires, Mr.

Berkinshaw pointed out that the tax burden in Canada is much heavier than in the U.S. For instance, in Canada, there is a 10 percent sales tax, and, in addition, a 15 percent excise tax, which until last April was 25 percent. His company had reduced price by 15 percent, through the 10 percent tax reduction and a five percent cut in manufacturing economy. The party planned to make a tour of the Edmonton oilfieids Thursday or Friday.

According to the Alberta provincial Elections Act, a candidate must obtain 20 percent of the vote quota on the first count in order to retain his deposit.

In Tuesday's election the quota needed for election was 6,505 votes. Therefore in order to retain his deposit a candidate had to receive 1,301 firstchoice votes. The $100 deposit is required of each candidate who enters the provincial election race. On the first count Tuesday only seven candidates saved their deposits. Of the seven, five were elected.

They, included Premier Manning, Harper Prowse, Liberal leader; Elmer E. Roper C.C.F. leader: J. Percy Page, Prog. Dr.

J. D. Ross, S.C., all elected, and Andre Dechene, and Ambrose Holowach, S.C., both defeated in subsequent counts. Although they did not poll the required 20 percent on the first count, two candidates saved their deposits because they were finally elected. They were Edgar Gerhart, S.C., who polled only 769 votes on the first count, and Ald.

Harold E. Tanner, who polled 875 first choice votes. Those losing their deposits were Robert Atkin, N. P. Finnemore, Roy Jamha, Floyd Johnson, Mrs.

Winifred Scott and Arthur Thornton, all C.C.F. candidates; Mrs. S. M. Baker, Harry Carrigan and Williston Haszard, S.C.

candidates; Mrs. Cora Casselman, Mrs. Laurette Douglas, Duncan Innes and P. J. Lazarowich, unsuccessful Liberals; Marcel Lambert, M.

The dominion weather office reports that the disturbance probably will pass over by late Thursday, and that a return to warin, sunny weather is expected for Friday and Saturday. Meanwhile, another weather disturbance is developing over Alaska. It is impossible to say exactly what the disturbance will have here, but it is not expected to bring any change in weather conditions until Sunday at least. Official forecast for the Edmonton region Thursday is cloudy with showers, clearing the afternoon, winds north at 15 miles per hour and an expected high of 70. The outlook for Friday is sunny and a little warmer.

At 8:30 a.m. Thursday, Edmonton had not yet received any rain from the northern weather systen. Scattered showers were reported in southern Alberta and at Jasper. White Court was the hardest hit by rain. A total of 1.13 inches was recorded during a heavy thunderstorm between midnight and 5:00 a.m.

Wednesday, Edmontonians sweltered through the hottest day of the summer. The thermometer rose to a peak of 84 degrees at 4:00 p.m. The previous high for this summer was 83 degrees, on July 30. Temperatures in the city dropped gradually, as the colder air rushed the minimum of 56 degrees was recorded at 8:30 a.m. Argentina sees higher tobacco production with a 1952 crop of Attention Air Crew A limited number of vacancies still exist in the Fighter Control Officer Branch--also, exmembers of R.C.M.P., Provincial and Municipal Police Forces with considerable investigator's experience, 46 years of age or less good rank offers available, Apply R.C.A.F.

Recruiting Unit, 9921-101A Edmonton Phone 42658 Exhausts In City the job. The first count was not even unofficially completed until 8:50 a.m. Wednesday, and the heat already had played out about half the crew. Some of them were given enough time off to run home for cooling baths. By 4:30 p.m.

Wednesday, when the first count was official and subsequent distribution counts were about to start, fatigue had reduced the crew to 30 members. The counters managed to stay with the job only because of an unlimited supply of coffee, being supplied Masonic Temple workers. As the night passed, Clifton G. Purvis, returning officer. added to his other jobs the task of keeping the coffee pots filled and hot.

At one point, about 3:00 am. Thursday, a big in the Masonic Temple accidentally was closed. Within an hour, stale air had stalled vote counting completely, as the fatigued counters began to nod over the ballots and found themselves dozing off. A 10-minute "break" for air brought them around, and ioh slowly continued. For the counters had voted to finish it before they left the Temple again.

the job was completed at Thursday, it went to prove one thing. Because of Edmenton's growth, and with increasing numbers of candidates in the running in the city, the voting system is becoming unwieldy. The experts themselves, as they drank a parting cup of coffee, had it figured out that there were two alternatives for growing Edmonton, which faces the prospect of even bigger fields of candidates and more seats in the next provincial election. "Either split the city into two sections with four members each," said one. "Or set up two trained crews such as we now have, to cut the vote-counting work in two.

They will leave Monday by Western Airlines plane and return to the city next Thursday. They will be accompanied by Mrs. Hawrelak, Mrs. Manning and Mrs. Tanner.

Mayor Hawrelak will address the chamber at a luncheon Tuesday and the premier at a dinner the same day. The visitors will tour the Los A Angeles district, visiting commercial establishments and industrial plants as well as the beauty spots of the California city.

1952-Arthur Murrey Inc. Phone 23553 Edmonton's first of 1952 was reported Thursday by the city department of health. The victim was a 37-year-old man living in east Edmonton. His case was reported at the weekend when it was discovered he had contracted the disease. No further cases have been reported since the week-end.

The city's total of polio cases this year is six. Dr. G. M. Little, medical health officer for the city, said Thursday he does not expect the disease to present a big problem in the city.

Peak Periods "Our community has been fortunate this summer, compared with 1 other areas of the province, in its fairly low incidence of poliomyelitis," he said. "The rate of occurrence usually in the latter, part of Augusteor early September. As this is only a few weeks away we may reasonably expect that the disease will not reach such extensive proportions here as in many previous years." Dr. Little pointed out that there are certain precautions which help in the prevention of the disease. All should avoid extreme fatigue from strenuous exercise and sudden chilling such as would result from a plunge in very cold water on a hot day.

He also warned against swimming in polluted water. He urged that careful attention be given to personal cleanliness, especially in washing hands before eating. Milk and water should come from only reliable sources. Flies should be kept away from food. "Attempts to stop the spread of the disease by closing places where people congregate have been of doubtful value," he said.

before," Mr. Tanner remarked. Prankster. Blocks Road With Flares A number of motorists on 96 st. near 108 ave.

became irate about 11:00 p.m. Wednesday when they found their way blocked by A number of flares and no apparent reason for their presence. A pranster had taken the flares from a nearby street excavation and placed them across the roadway. "But it seems advisable to limit children to their own group of playmates rather than expose them to large groups of either adults or children." Most important of all during the polio season, he said, is to remember that when a person feels ill, he should go to bed until his illness is identified. Evidence shows that persons very active in the early stages of the disease are likely to suffer more severe paralysis, he continued.

Common symptoms of early polio are fever, irritability, headache and stomach upset, followed by stiffness of the neck and back muscles. Some of these symptoms, possibly all, will be absent, he explained, and it sometimes requires several days of careful observation before a physician can diagnose a polio case. Dr. Little pointed out that more deaths result. from whooping cough than from poliomyelitis.

"It is some comfort to know that less than 50 percent of cases develop paralysis and that the majority of these are returned to a normal life by the most miraculous treatment which now is available at its best in our own community." Election "Dark Horses" Celebrate Teachers' Day By Larry O'Hara (Journal Staff Writer) Two candidates in Alberta's provincial election whose hopes for success were not too good as ballots were counted Wednesday turned out to be the "dark horses" of the race as they paced to seats in the legislature in the final tally Thursday morning. They were J. Percy Page, Conservative and H. E. Tanner, Liberal.

While Mr. Page followed the trend of results, through all 26 counts required to choose Edmonton's seven representatives, right in headquarters in the Masonic Temple, Mr. Tanner had an entirely different story. When the first count gave him only 875 firstchoice ballots placing him 12th on the running list, he lost hope. "I was convinced I hadn't a chance," he said Thursday.

It was Mr. Page's honor to get Mr. Tanner out of bed shortly after 7:30 a.m. Thursday and to inform his win. Despite their differences in political views, the handshake and congratulations extended on the Tanner doortep couldn't have been more sincere.

"This is a fine way for an M.L.A. to be found on a morning like this," was Mr. Page's greeting as Mr. Tanner appeared in the doorway clad in pyjamas and dressing gown. His amazement was genuine as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes, then extended his hand.

The two went seated on the Tanner chesterfield, discussed their mutual pleasure. "You know, it's a funny thing, but yesterday morning, when it looked as though I didn't have a chance, Jack Marshall called me up and said 'congratulations' and I laughed at him. He said he wasn't fooling, he had seen upsets Mr. Page then told of observing the results of each of the counts and of gradually gaining hope as each gave him an increase. He had special praise for the team counters who worked through 36 hours without more than brief breaks.

He thanked each of them personally before leaving the Masonic Temple. "It seems to be a morning for school teachers," Mr. Page had remarked earlier. He is the reprincipal of Victoria Composite High school. Mr.

Tanner is principal of University High school and it was the re-distribution of ballots of Arthur Thornton, defeated C.C.F. candidate and teacher at H. Allen Gray school, that gave the two their winning places. To the two winners it was suggested that to ask them how they felt about their success would be a silly question. Mr.

Tanner just stuck out his bathrobed chest and smiled while Mr. Page chuckled. Alberta Red Cross Receives $420,000 The 1952 provincial Red Cross campaign has overshot its $400,000 target by $20,000, according to the latest figures released by Red Cross headquarters in Calgary. Despite this news, officials say, there is "no room for over-rejoicing." The actual expenditure anticipated for this year is set at more than $600,000. KILBURN DENTAL LAB.
