The proposals of the dealers were discussed at length and then the delegation and the Prcvincial Mar- keting Bonrd withdrew to perm.t. the Potato Marketing Board to reach a decision.

mg, and outlined the purpose of the Legions plan "operation Pre- paredness." He stated the Legion feels industrial mobilization. and mobilization of man power are es- sentlai. and the Federal Govern- ment had not taken sufficient steps in these directions. He added that meetings similar to the one in Char- lottetown last evening were being held throughout the Dominion to urge the Government to take the necessary,steps.

Appreciation of the Legion to those in attendance in spite of the extremely cold weather. was ex- pressed by H. vesscy. who contlnucsl to say the Legion was concerned both with military prepni'edr.ess and civilian defence. He expressed the thanks of the meeting to Phil Pal- mer. chairinnn of the committee on "operation Preparedness", and his fellow committee men: Stan Bryant Ivan Whaien and Whiston smith.

Lt. Ocl. Leo F. MacDonald stated it was his opinion the matter of preparedness was it very serious problem. "Citizens have 3 very def- inite responslbiiity and duty to pet'- form". he said, and then commend- ed the Legion on taking the neces- sary action in the matter at hand.

He urged that beyond national registration, the Federal Govern- ment should be urged to take steps in regard to the training of reserve forces. and said the Government should be made to feel the Canad- lI.n taxpayer is urging the need of such steps. He concluded by saying that in spite of advertising. recruit- ing had not been up to expectations and drastic steps shculd be taken.

Chairman Peake told the meet- ing that Canada had at present a total armed force of 114.000 as against Britain's 1.800.000. He stated Canada should have at least 000,- ooo men in the armed forces to compare with Britain's total.

Major T. E. MacNutt expressed strongly the belief that bohh sexes shculd receive compulsory training. and said that every 18-year-old man in England must spend two years in compulsory service.

He continued by saying therc were four rules of citizenship. which he outlined as follows: i. Defence of country. 2. Payment of taxes. 3. Enforcement of law. and 4. Educa- ticn of youth. He said that although the last. three of there were com- pulsory tha first one was voliintnry.

Major MacNutt said the Legion had advocated conscription as far back as 1932. and it was his opin'on this was the only solution to the present, problem. "Young people cannot take the field -without. six months training." he said. He con- cluded his brief talk by saying "No- tions in times of peace must pre- pare theinselvt. for war."

Ited Cross organization

bridge which in February I year ago was closed to heavy traffic while repairs were made to cracks in the concrete under the bridge to I point said to be considerably away from today's defection.

The Premier made his state- ment about subversive elements without complete infonnation. But said he was led to this con- clusion because of "the timing" of the esrly morning disaster and the fact that the bridge was named "The Dupleuis Bridge."'

The 42-foot-wide highway span -part of the main route between Montreal and Quebec-was one of the prides of Three Rivers and was named after one of its most illustrious Iona, Mr. Dupleaais' father. Mr. Dupleaals himself sits in the Legislature for the con- stituency of Three Rivers. His father was I judge and former Three Rivers mayor.

Nio Clisnoe To Escape

The four known dead held no chance to escape. As the bridge floor-work collapsed into the St. Maurice River in N-below zero weather their cars plumetted down and lodged in the water left open by the bridcels impact with the ice. some of the headlight remained on with the cars und water.

OtherwLse the scene was one of darkness and horror bccaure with the crash of the structure Ill lighting on the bridge was ex- tinguished. All telephone com- munlcatlon across the bridge and east. of Three Rivers also was snapped.

Brush Vvith Diaanber

For other car drivers-many of them taxi drivers-the bridge fall was a close brush with disaster. some were able to put. their brakes on just in time. one was barely across the. collapsed port- lon before it went down.

Taxi driver James Spencer told of hearing a queer rumbling noise as he drove over the bridge.

"I am convinced that what I heard was the bridge starting to give way,” he said. "It was I matter of split seconds between life and death for me."

The bitter cold and the dIrk- ness hampered efforts of police and would-be rescue workers to reach the cars which were tossed onto and through the ice. Finally work yvas suspended until After daylight when the Mayor took over official direction.

The dead were listed as R. Fiset of Montreal. and Noel Doucet and Alfred Beaubien and H. P. Gend- ron. all of Cap de in Madeleine.

Injured were Maurice suprem- nnt of Montreal and two Three Rivers residents. Benoit Lefebvre and Roger Landry. They were in a car which fell from the bridge. But apart from frostbite they suf- fered only minor injuries.

Never 'l'ioi'gt!i it

Said Lefebvre. "I'll never forget this as long as I live-. We were in the car on one of the sections which collapsed. The floor of the bridge beiran to shake. The car ziggcd and ragged and the first thing we know our car was 50 feet below on the ice."

Suprcnnnt. said: "I thought I

was in it. cmient mixer for I while."

At the daily newspaper Le Noiivelllste. getting ready its

cnrly edition. calls were received from residents asking had an earthquake occurred.

in Ottawa. Defence Minister Ciaxion said i the Commons he wili find out i his Department can do anything to provide I temporary replacement for the bridge.
