Dim-Out To

On "Lower St. Lawrence

(By The Canadian Press)

OTTAWA, April (l-Navill Ser- vice Headquarters announced to- night that dim-out regulations a- long the shores of the lower St. Lawrence River will rcmalu in ef- fect this year because of the still- prevalent danger of attacks by German submarines.

The announcement said the sky- glow created by shore-lights cou- stltuted a danger to essential ship- ping and referred to o. statement in the Common. Tuesday by Navy Minister Macdonald in which he said enemy U-bouts in recent months had xcncentrated their ef- forts “to a greater degree than formerly” 1n coastal waters.

Mr. Macdonald sold there was no reason to believe that Canadian coastal waters would be free from underwater raiders and added that it “may well be that we still will have submarine attacks in Cana- dian waters on an increased scale."

The dim-out area-unchanged from last year-covers u strip land five miles dcen on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River and the Gulf of St. Lawrence be-

during lust fall and winter in the Gulf and 011' the coast of Nova Scotin. The enemy have better submarines than ever before, and 1t ds assumed that unless precautionary measures are taken as before, they will try again to attack shipping in the lower Sh. Lawrence."

Submarines sailed up the St. Lawrence 1n 1042 and sunk 3i! Al- lied merchant ships. Patrols were increased and none were sunk in 1943 but a few fell victims to tor- pedoes last year.

Persons living in the dim-out be asked to dim-out all lights which shine directly upon the waters of the St. Lawrence or create a glow against which shins sailing in the river could be sil- houetted and thus made an easier target for U-boats.

The regulations which come Into force with the official opening of navigation on the river, apply also tc railways. automobiles and all other vehicles whether civilian or military.
