Unique Oar Ferry For llay Of Fundy

SAINT JOHN. N. B. - (GP) - A special car ferry has been de. signed to cope with 30-foot tides in the Bay of hmdy and avoid the expense of building high wharves. The new vessel. I unique develop- ment fn ferry service history. will have its own built-in ramps and land on beaches.

The idea for the novel craft csme after the New Brunswick gov- ernment commlssloned a father- and-son firm of Vancouver naval

ferrybost system. The flrm's young- er member, Robert Allan. Jr.. con- ducted the survey.

When the plans are completed. the veesrl will probably be built in New Brunswick or Nova scotin. In addition to the British Columbia

The ferry. to be used on A three- mile route between the mainland village of L'Eteie. Charlotte Coun- ty. and Deer Island. will replscn a scow towed by a power boat. The scow accommodates only four cars. In the busy summer season reser- vations days. and evenweeks. ahead have been necessary.

Plans for the new ferry call for a craft 02 feet long and capable of carrying it automobiles with their passengers. Two diesel engines. with 0 pair of propellers at each end. will push the vessel along at a lo- lmot clip - fast enough to buck Fundsy's strong tides.

Find Suspects Were In Jail In Another Town

RENO. Nev.. Much I - (AP) - What appeared to be the best lead yet in solving Reno's t2..'t00,000 safe burglary faded into nothing today as an Elko sheriff confirmed that five persons wanted for questioning were in Eiko at the time of the burglary.

Sheriff Jesse Harris said the five were in jail Friday night, several hours after the robbery. An all- nolnts bulletin police pickup was broadcast for the four men and one woman early today.

Harris said the five were picked up on a Las Vegas report that two of the men had been cheatimz slot machines. Harris said he knew the five were in Eiko at the time of the robbery and that he was "con- vinced thev had nothing to do with the Reno job.”

Rumors circulate

Meanwhile. rumors of F" sorts circulated throughout thn Nevada- Callfornia area while hnlfce search- ed for a clue that might lead them to the hurrvlars who carted million- aire f.. V. Redfield's 500-nound safe from his home Whlln he was down- town plavlng roulette.

The five persons named in the police nickup are:

Geraldine Harris (alias finger. Jones. Clinton. Sherry Rogers) 27 from Fenn.

While most of the contents con- sisted of negotiable securities I52.- omooo worth. and all endorsed by Redfieldl. a chunk of the cash was in old-fashioned bills of big de- nominations. There also was a lot of smaller stuff and jewelry that policp believe. could be disposed of.

Redfield himself took a skeptical view of the burglar-s' prospects commenting that they are "just stuck with it now."

"They might as well llclii their clgarcts with the two sl0.000 bill: they got." said Redfield. "Bills that large are quite rare."

The burglars entered Redfieldts home Friday in his absence. fed his dog a ham bone and hauled away a 500-pound safe which Redfleld said contained 3320000 in currency. about 32.000000 in securities and around 8200.000 worth of jewelry;

His endorsement of the joint U.S.- Canadian action will likely swing to the seaway's favor the votes of a half-dozen other Republican sen- ators. The 30-year-old proposal is now before the U.

PARIS. March 2 --(Reutei1)-- France's political crisis sharpened tonight with the failure of Paul Reynaud to form

Rene Pleven to make an attempt.

Elder statesman Reynaud. bit- terly deplorlnz the instability French government, admitted fail- ure to form a new cabinet of "national unity."

Later is was learned that social- ist leader Pleven refused an invi- tation to try to form a government.

Fteynaud threw up the job after the Socialists refused to join him in a bid to end the country's grow- ing political and financial crisis,

The report describes many Canadian educational pract- ices and suggests remedies for some existing problems in schools and colleges.

A chapter of the report is devot- ed to ”Tlie Problem of the small College". In the course of this chapter Dr. stamp states:

"In many parts of Canada I was struck by the pride and loyalty of those who had received part of their education at Prince of Wales College, Charlottetown. P.E. I. Yet this is n junior college covering only the first two years of a. univ- erslty course, not granting its own degrees. but sending on its stud- ents to the various universities where their own particular inter- ests are must fully covered. The well-equipped laboratories. the well- ouallfied staff able to concentrate on a few well-arranged courses yet with freedom to develop their own research interests combine to make an institution with a real univer- sity flavour.

nor laboratories can cope with the range of new matter for advanced studies. Inevitably the atmosphere remains that of a, high school: it is not a university . . . . Surely the position would be immensely im- proved by concentration on the first two years of university work and emancipation of the students to complete their studies at the parent university.

"At the time of writing the Hope Report on Education (Ontario) is. I understand, in course of publica- tion. I am informed that some members of the Committee are strongly in favour of klunior Col- lrgcs' on the Prince of Wales mod- el . . . . they would certainly go far to eliminate many of the difficul- ties I have found provided students are free to go to the 'most appro- priate university for their final two years of work." .

Many Wartime Institutions

Dr. stamp notes in his report that in proportion to its population Canada has it very large number of institutions of higher education. In the three Maritime Provinces with a. total population of less than a million and a half. he understood there are no less than is univer- sities and colleges granting de- grecs.

"Most of the' smaller colleges." he writes. "though many are vlrlie and have active buildlni! programs find it difficult to maintain their existing commitments in such mat- ters as staff salaries and equip- ment. lnciuding libraries. to mod- ern standards.

"One appreciates the desire of these colleges to retain their indiv- iduality and independence but it is the students who stiffer.
