Disruption Of Serviceslesierday

With damage caused by the storm on Wednesday barely patch- ed up. further disruption to tele- Dhone. telegraph and electrical services was caused yesterday by in sudden tlulw and high winds.

Winds ranging between 30-35 miles per hour and gusting up to 45 brought down weakened wires and put about two hundred tele- phones in the City out of order. and also affected local service in Montague. Between fifty and sixty phones were still out in the City last night.

Residences served by the Way- mouth Street circuit were without power for a short time in the morning when a primary line on Prince Street was brought down.

Teletype services to the main- land were out from 10.30 until about three o'clock due to wire trouble between Emerald and Kin- kora and in the Cape Tormentlne- Port Elgin arch, and service in the western part of the Island was intermittent last night.

Transportation was practically unaffected but travelling by road was hazardous on the wet ice. Vis- ibility was made very poor last night when warm air came in contact with the ice, causing thick

In an oral judgment. His llonour reviewed the evidence which was concluded on the 19th, how the night of Dec. 1-2 water had been turned on and a towel stuffed in a wash basin in the office of Dr J. P. Millar, the wall below the basin damaged. foot-prints on roof giving access to the dental office The prisoner had been seen in the Vicinity and police going to his residence found that materials on the heel of his shoe corresponded. as far as could be determined. with the paint, paper cloth and plaster of the damaged, wall as well as mud similar to that of tracks left there. Nothing else was found which uppcnred to have caused the damage, which could have been done by a. heel of shoe.

Although no one pince of evid- ence was conclusive, His Honour had no difficulty in finding that in total the evidence was conclus- ive that the nccuscd had done the damage with his heel. and was accordingly guilty as charged,

The Crown prosecutor. Mr. J. P. Nicholson. did not introduce evid- ence of previous convictions but referred to six convictions since 1946. four involving thcft. Mr. M. A.

to all who wanted them. And it seemed that every youngster there did want them. Even a Navy offic- er on duty was seen to enjoy an ice cream cone.

But the presents and the food represented only one part of the afternoon as the Navy boys had arranged swings and slides to offer amusement tmd,films suitable for children were shown to the de- light of the little ones who were all wearing paper party hats which they got when they went in.

Slow Increase In Unemployment is Reported

OTTAWA, Dec. 21-(CF)-There tire not enough jobs to go around for all of.Canada'l immigrants those days.

The onset of winter-season un- employment. has left a slowly- growing number without work. but immigration officials say the situation will be eased as the us- unl winter reduction of the flow of new Canadians takes effect.

The influx probably will be cut a little more this year than previously. officials say. but they do not attribute that particularly to unemployment. Available win- tcr shipping on the Atlantic will be shorter than usual.

The national total of unemploy- ment reached 193,000 at Nov. 22 ttnd has been crawling up since (IS seasonal industries slow down for the winter. The total was somewhat higher than a year ear- lier but. had not yet reached the 1951 hlgli of about 300,000 In Feb- runry.

Union officials expressed con- cern over the question of immi- grants displacing Canadians from jobs. Percy Bengough. president of the Trades and Labor Congress of Canndii. last week called for a

t

ban on immigration during the winter. Labor Department spokesmen

say there are no indications here that Canadians are getting push- ed out that way. National Em- ployment Service would not give priority to immigrants when Can- adinns are available for jobs, they said.

The total of immigrants brought to Canada in the first nine months of the year was 129,800. The Immigration Department said figures are not available beyond that.
