Hailing Arrival oi comlIirossodAlrTanks

work will resume on the new air horn being installed at the City Fire Department as soon as the mo compressed air tanks arrive. Fire Chief H. H. Jewell said yester- day. The tanks have been on order ior over a month but due to the .current steel shortage arrival has been delayed.

one tank is approxlmdtely 3 ft. by 8 ft. and the other is slightly smaller. both will be used to store compressed air developed by aI 5 hm-se-power electric compressor.

The only thing holding up com- pletion of the proiect is the tanks and as soon as they get here the horn will probably be operating within a week, Fire Chief Jewell stated.

when operated, this new air horn will cause a blast that can be heard nine air miles.

Birthday Tribute To Dean of House

HONG KONG. March 24-(GP) -Two Canadians, dressed as Clif- nese communist teachers, praised China's Red regime when they arrived here today but their Unit- ed Church of Canada colleagues said Communist control is based on "fear".

The Canadians were the last six

United Church missionaries to leave Red China.

The niissionsries are Dr. and Mrs. Leslie G. Kllborn; L. Earl

Willmott and his wife; and Wil- liam Small, his wife and daught- ers. Lorraine, 3&2. and Katherine. 1'.-.:. both born in Chengtu. All are from Toronto. Mrs. 5msll's parents live at Hamilton, Ont.

He said he has "heard nothing" of any persecution of church people in China.

The clean of the House was taken by surprise when l-ion. Dougald MacKinnon. Minister of Public Works and Highways, rose in the temporary absence of Premier J. Walter Jones to pay a tribute to the former leader of the Opposit- ion. In offering his congratulat- ions Mr. Maclimnon expressed the admiration which he personally felt and stalcrl that Dr. MacMillan harl corned the respect shown him by h: llniaililu: oourtesy. He

Kilborn, born in China and son of the founders of the first med- ical mission at Chengtu in 1891. said they were not badly treated at any time. But he was sharply critical of the Red regime saying it had achieved miracles "but at A terrible price."

"It's not only a Communist rev- olution but a nationalistic one", said Kilborn. dean of medicine at the university. "They call it con- trolled anti-foreighism. The basis of the entire Communist. control is simply fear and you can't ima- gine how deep dowli the regimen- tation goes.

"The anti-corruption campaign is in full swing now and Chengiu is a city of tcnscness in which thousands are committing suicide."

Earlier today. Communist guards struck off the manaclcs which bound French bishop Rene Boll.-g guerin for the 14 mont.hs they Roman Catholic preiatr, had spent as their prisoner, and expelled him to Hong Kong.

Dr. Jesse I-I. Arnup. secretary of the Board of Overseas Missions oi the United Church. said Monday that he "knew all the time that willmott was sympathetic to the People's Government in China- but Small was a surprise."

He said that the two men could not be considered to have "joined the Communists." As he understood it. they have merely expressed an appreciation for what the Chinese Red Govern- ment had accomplished in West China.

Dr. Arnup added with a smile: "I could rather hope that I fill be. retired in June before he ar- rlvos."

Dr. MaoMillan thanked Mr. Macxinnon and th- membcrs of the Legislature most sincerely for the tribute and said "I must be getiing to be an old fellow." lie put in a touch of humor when he remarked. "I think as much of this bouquet as I do of the next old age pension cheque which will be coming the first of the month."
