stands behind the latest ranking 'of McDonald’s Service Station, Souris. as the largest service .station on the Island, fol-lowing and enlargement. Its proprietor is L. Gerard McDonald, who took over the station on Decem- ber 5, 1948. ’
As background for his part in this growth story, Mr. McDonald was a motor mechanic in the Canadian Army for three years. Following his discharge he at- tended a vocational school at Moncton for a year, and then became associated with John- stoner Motors, Parkdale, where he“ stayed three years. ,
His next move took him home 1:: Ho his native Souris, where he , went into business for himself. The way in which that business ' has expanded in the past 10 years is reflected by its present size and facilities. CREDIT To STAFF . The station is 51 by 71 feet, with ' all modern facilities such as I hoist and pit and car wash sec- tion, along with ample space and equipment for servicing all makes of motor vehicles. Includ- ed is a full range of devices for repairing and testing.
Mr. McDonald gives much of ‘ the credit for the growth of the station to those who are associa- ted with him in its operation, including his wife, Lavita, who works full time as bookkeeper. Clarence Gallant has been as- lociated with Mr. McDonald since ,he began operating in Souris and is rated as particular. 1y efficient in tire repairing and greasing operations. SERYICE IMPROVED

ST. JOHN’S, Nfld. (CPI—Con- flict .betueen Two Newfoundland pulp and paper companies and theklnteruational Woodworkers of America tCLCI union could lead to serious disruption of one of the province‘s major industries; Albert Martin general manager of Bowater's Newfoundland Pulp and Paper Mills IJimited. says three of 50 logging camps have been shut down.
Mr. Martin said the camps, 32 miles from here, were closed after loggers asked that their wages be assigned to an IWA loc al certified as bargaining agent.
SEES MILL SHUTDOWN
If further shutdowns were made necessary by similar requests the Bowater's mill would exhaust its wood supply by next August, Mr.
Martin said. “A complete shut- down of the camps would mean a shutdown of the mill in August." The IWA is certified to bargain for 2.700 men employed by inde- pendent contractors who provide the Bowater's mill with wood. The company has on hand a 130.000 cords of wood. 29 per cent of the cut for the mill and 15 per cent of the export cut. Meanwhile in St. John’s. the IWA will appear again today be- fore Mr. Justice Sir Brian Dun- field of the Newfoundland Su- preme.

HALIFAX (CP)—-The navy said Monday an investigation into al- leged misappropriations of equip- ment from the Point Edward re- serve base near Sydney is con- tinuing. But there was no indica- tion when the probe would end or what further action was contem- plated.
A spokesman said the inquiry “is continuing in the hands of the RCMP.”
An RCMP official, meanwhile confirmed that investigation “at the moment is being concentrated at the Point Edward base."
The navy-RCMP inquiry began in late November after a quan- tity of equipment from salvaged ships had turned up in mainland Nova Scotla. The type of equip- ment was not specified.
CHANGE IN COMMAND
The navy announced early this month that pending the outcome of the inquiry the Point Edward base would be in charge of Gmdr. L. E. Simms, an engineering of— ficer from the navy doc'kyard here. ’
Cmdr. Simms replaced Cmdr. George M. Wadds, the base com- ‘mander for nearly three years.
Mr. Bickle is a member of the board.
A well known Toronto indus- trialist and financier, Mr. Biok-le is a director of a number of other companies. He is also presi- dent of the Queen Elizabeth Hos- pital in Toronto.
With Mr. Gordon and other CNR direcrtors,'Mr. Bickle was in Haliliax and Monoton in Novem- ber for a regular monthly meet- ing of the railway’s board of dir- actors.

Defence Minister Pearkes said in Ottawa that the recommenda- tion to replace Cmdr. Wadds was made by Halifax naval authorites

Hearing of the request for sus» pension of the injunction was postponed one day Monday.
The forest products industry is Worth about $28,000,000 annually to Newfoundland.
A.N.D. turned down conciliation board recommendations calling for wage increases and shorter work week for the loggers. The demands would "cripple" the Newfoundland newsprint industry a spokesman said.
He estimated demands would cost the company an additional $1,200,000 a year. The present basic wage of $1.05 would be boosted to $1.22 an hour.
WORK STOPPAGE Meanwhile eight A.N.D. logging
camps have been closed since
Christmas Eve because of a “work stoppage.” The union said the stoppage was ordered to pro- test the firing of certain loggers active in the IWA. About 400 men were affected, '
The idle loggers were asked by the union to stay in their camps. However. the company announced Saturday that legal action will be taken against loggers who remain in camp but don’t work.
The dispute began more than six months ago.
