PRAGUE. Czechoslovakia (AP- "We took the black sheep by the tail and threw them out."

That is Nikita Khrushc-hev's ex- planation of last week's Moscow purge. He gave it to a Czechoslo- vak audience Tuesday as he and Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin arrived for a week's visit.

He and Bulganin. along with Antonin Nevotny, Czech Commu- nist chief, were on a 500-mile trip from the Soviet-Czech border to Prague. They are due here today?

Former prime minister St. Lau- rent issued an invitation to the Queen to come to Canada this year after it was learned that United States officials had invited her to attend ceremonies at Jamestown, Va., marking the founding in 1604 of the first permanent English set- tlement in the U.S.

She will fly to Jamestown from Ottawa on Oct. 16 and is expected to arrive in Washington later that day for a formal three-day visit lasting until Oct. 19. On Oct. 20, a Sunday, she likely will have a day of rest in Washington and visit New York City the following day before returning to London.

W. Royalty Man Loses Life Trying To Save Child 7

A tragic drowning accident at Siantiope yesterday afternoon claimed the lives of s 32 - year- oid West Royalty man and a seven - year - old child winch he had set out to ri.-succ.

Dead are Dewar Jones, a sub- foreinan at Dowd Motors and Karen Maclnnis daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Maclnnis propri- etors of the "Bright Spot" at the Queens Arms.

The Maclnnis and Jones famil- ies arrived at the beach about 1:30 pm. and while the elder members of the family were pre- paring for bathing little Karen started to float in an auto tire tube which she had taken to the shore for the purpose.

OFF-SHORE WIND

A stiff off - shore wind soon be- gan to take the child into deep water and Jones without hesitation began to swim to her rescue. The other members of the party were horrified to see the rescuer go under the water a short distance from the child.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police continued dragging operations until dark yesterday evening but were unable to recover his body.

He is survived by his widow the former Shelia MacLean of Brad- albane and a two year old son. Roger James. Also surviving are his father and mother, Mrs. El- liot Jones of West Royalty and a brother Rowland.

Shortly after Mr. Jones went under the water, the Maclnnis child seemed to have lost her bal- ance from the tube and was in the water until a nearby fishing boat from the Covehead wharf hauled her aboard.

PROMPT ACTION

Artificial respiration was appli- ed immediately and when brought to shore immediate medical atten- tion was at hand from at least three vacationing doctors.
