Star's Tears‘ Wash Out Opera Opening In Rome
ROME (Friday) (AP)—Opera star Maria Meng‘ hinl Callas broke down in tears Thursday night after singing the first act of Bellini’s Norm-a and washed out the gala opening of the Rome opera season.
The breakdown occurred in the temperamental soprano’-s dress- ing room. Italy’s president and other notables were in the au- dience.
The remainder of the opera was called off after a long, un- explained intermission. The an- nouncement brought a chorus of bros from the audience.
H u nd r e d s of demonstrators gathered outside the opera house. Riot police were called to sup- press any rioting.

Glimpses of the Island's history may be found by browsing- through back numbers of local newspapers, many of which ceas- ed publication before the turn of the century. . : ' One’ such historic ‘document. was brought to light recently by John Moore of 14 Young Street. While working on an old dwelling, Mr. Moore discovered a copy of The Island Argus, a weekly paper first published here November 4th, 1869.
Oddly enough the date_ of the‘ 80-year-old issue corresponded "with the date of its discovery, 2nd. . ‘
The publisher and editor at this time was‘a Mr. James Hayden Fletcher whose office was indicat- ed as being located in “Welsh and 0wen’s Brick Building, Queen Street." ,
The front page of the old publi- cation is devoted to advertise- ments of various kinds and the. other half is taken up with a four column excerpt from a local con- temporary. This long article from The Guardian of that era dealt with the marriage of Queen Vic- toria. '
The second page of the four-
. page weekly deals with corres-
pondence from readers and editor- ial comment. The third page is devoted to local, national and international news, while the final page is aptly titled “miscel- laneous” and consists chiefly of articles clipped from other Cana- dian newspapers.
EDITORIAL COMMENT
In the correspondence column and editorially, the paper lashes out at the “General Govern- ment’s” failure to ensure contin- ous winter communication be- tween this Province and the mainland, one of the terms under which the Island entered Con- federation. '
Immediate subject of attack is the “Nfirthern Light”, a steamer built by a Mr. Sewell for the fed- eral government, which craft was in the opinion of the editor and one of his correspondents was ab- viously incapable of negotiating Northumberiand Strait in winter. The fact that city teachers were only required to spend only 720 hours per year in the classroom was also the subject of an ed- itorial blast. I
“This is a utilitarian age”, con- tends Mr. Fletcher, “Parents have something else for their children to do ‘besides spending their time» in play."
President Grant’s report to the United States is the subject of an article taken from another con- temporary The Francisco Chron- icle. In this report are references to the death of Lincoln, the In- dian wars, the settlement of the border dispute with Canada, the
Alabama Incident, and many other seemingly far, distant events.

The two are British subjects but immigration officials said they are not Canadian citizens. A bench warrant has been is- sued in Toronto for the arrest of Jacobs for skipping $1,000 bail on a criminal negligence charge. The two vanished’ from Toronto leaving a $1,000,000 business, a $50,000 home, a $25,000 cottage and an $18,000 speedboat. Immigration officials wouldnot elaborate on the details surround- ing the detenticn.

Asked when they would be re- leased, he said, ‘‘I don't have a clue.” They would be held until the examination is completed. -Mrs. Jacobs disappeared with her husband in June, but she re- turned to Toronto; in .October. Mrs. Morris is believed to be in Halifax, but this could not be confirmed.
Police in Toronto said the two men lived there from 1951 after they came from England where they left a car dealership in Bournemouth. In England, they said, Jacobs was known as “avid Plessner and Morris as his father, Joseph. ‘In Toronto Ja- cobs said he was a nephew of Morris. -

Red Leader Proposes Toast
To Americans

Moscow Radio ‘I-epormd in Eng- lish on the Soviet government's New Year reception, attended by many members of the diplomatic corps. One toast was to the United States, to the “wonderful American people" and to Presi- dent Eisenhower.
Proposing the toastto countries which had been allies “in the fight against fascism," Khrush- chev sai : .
“We smashed fascism, but then
found ourselves in different camps. That disappoints us. We do all we can to eliminate the situation called the cold war, and to ensure world peace.” ' ‘.‘If wisdom does not triumph," Khrushchev continued, “means of destruction will pile up, war will break out, tremendous ma- terial values will be destroyed and millions of people will be an- nihilated. We believe 1958» will bring a weakening of interna- tional tension." ' « _-
He noted that the Soviet Union was behind the United States in the level of economic develop- ment, but added: “Of "course, we ,also have nolittle means, to say nothing of the armed forces."
