"Although I am personally con- vinced that our company is not guilty of doing anything of detri- ment to the public. we decided it was impractical to contest the charges.

"This decision was made on the advice of counsel because as the charges were made under the exist- ing combines legislation. the court was powerless to acquit us. despite our ability to show that our activi- ties were always aimed toward the public interest.

"Our objective has always been to make better products available at lower prices."

Dr. Shaw Addresses Teachersl llonvention

That a. different attitude had been created since parents. teach- era and trustees were ncwv able to sit down together and discuss school problems was noted yester- day by Dr. 1.. W. Shaw. Director of Education. in addressing the annual convention of the P. E. I. Teaohers' Federation.

Dr. E-haw said it was something new in Prince Edward Island and was to be highly commended.

The speaker said his Depart- ment was frequently asked why it did not supply free school books and that some teachers in rural areas had the idea they could get all the books they needed for themselves and just charge them to the- Detpartmen-t. Dr. Shaw pointed out that it was the policy to aid in obtaining supplies ”cheap books. rather than free books". as he stated that experience had shown that where free books were supplied there was a definite ten- dency on the part of pupils, par- ents and teachers alike to grow careless in the use of them.

The Director of Education also said that next monthl a Miss Mc- Culley of the W. J. Gage Company would visit this Province to help teachers better understand the readers which that company pub. lishee for school use here. About five years ago a similar arrangg. meat was made and now it is felt that with the rapid turnover of teachers there is an almost com- pletely new group. especially in the primary grades. The cage Company generally endeavours to send an expert. frequently one of the authors, to each Province us. ing its books to give demonstra. tions to the teachers in the pro- per use of the readers. .Whlle here was Meculley will appear at at least eight. centres to gpegx to the teeohers.

Unofficial estimates said as many as 26 persons may have been killed.

The officially known dead were placed at eight hours afterward as wreckage-cu-ttlng rcscue work continued through the night by tomhllght.

Many Injured

Many of the hundreds of passen- gers aboard were injured and re- moved to hospitals.

The rescuers reported 20 or more were imctwn to be trapped in the wreckage. dead or alive. They used acetylene torches to cut through the twisted steel piled up in the dark.

A packed cutrnmuter train bound for Eppttig. a residential suburb 20 miles outside London. plowed into another train running along the same Central Line to Haunault as they swung around an S-tbend into the tunnel near Stratford sta- tion.

Motorman Killed

The molotman of the Epping train, J. S. Beedey of Delbden, was the first identified among the dead.

The crash occurred clear across s-pratwlin.z London from Harrow. where 112 persons were killed in a triple train crash Oct. 8.

Stratford station is in East Lon- don, a district of docks. factories, and vvot'kem' homes. The subway line swings into the S-bend in go- ing underground into the tunnel, making vision difficult.

A statment by the government- controlled London transport sys- tem mentioned only two trains be- ing involved. A rescue passenger had told of a third train near the scene, and one rctpcrt said it just nudged into the wrackage before being stopped. '

mores were treated for injurim at the scene and healthy hospitals.

A rescue wortker told reporters on enlarging from the tuunel:

"The heat down there was ter- rific. Doctors and nurses are al- most collapsing."

There were many stories of per- sonal heroism. One passenger said he had spent two hours elirptpoi-ting a man who had been hemmed up against the roof of his wrecked coach.
