Cardinals Take Second Straight Win From The H. R. Finals

m ll. a. in‘ Arrested 0n Arson l Charges

OTTAWA, Aug. 21 — (CP) -- Pbr 35 hours censorship held up news of the arrest of two men on char-

es of setting forest fires in New

runswick, it was disclosed today. Censorship officials said this un- usual procedure was followed be- cause lt Was believed sabotage might be involved and therefore the se- curity factor arose.

The New Brunswick attorney - generalfis department requested cen- sorship officials Friday to with- hold from publication the arrest of the men until Royal Canadian Mounted Police completed an in- vestigation.

The men, Wilfred Sullivan, a Fredericton taxi driver. and Gerald Gill. North Devon. N. 8., appeared in court Saturday and were ze- inanded unti‘ Thursday.

"The R. c M. P said there was good suspicion of arson and wan- ted to check the source of other fires before the arrests were pub- lished." said Warren Baldwin, chief censor here. “Under the circum- stances they also had to consider possibl sabotage."

He added that early Sunday mom- ing the R C. M P. advised cen- sorship officials that investigation showed security was not involved and

the games will be all of a very close nature. The!’ are all evenly matched. The Beavers took the struggle by an 18-15 score and they had to play all the time to do it. The line-ups follow: . Beavers: Des. ‘rrainor. K- HI"- lnger, J. Thistle. M. McKenzie, L. McDonald, H. Pineau, B. Stanley. 1:. Ward, J. Nicholson. : R. Burke, C. Fields. H. Pineau, K. MacDonald. E.
