the stratosphere like a destruction- bent meteor. a rocket - carrying RCAF jet fighter plunged into a nuns' rest home Tuesday night bringing violent death to I5.

Eleven nuns of the Roman Cath- olic order of the Grey Nuns of the Cross. the plane's two-man crew. a priest and a laywoman cook perished in the shattered Villa St. Louis on the south bank of the Ottawa river seven miles east of the capital. Twenty-two other nuns. including four injured. escaped.

Defence Minister Campney re- ported to the Commons that two CF loos were ordered to take off from their base at nearby Uplands to intercept an aircraft spotted by radar which was not i edlatel, identifiable. It was one of the CF-100s which crashed.

FLIGHT PLAN DELAYED

It turned out that the unknown plane was an RCAF North Star transport en route from Resolute Bay in the Arctic to its Montreal

use. The RCAF said the North Star filed a night plan before leaving Resolute Bay. This would tell air defence command where the trans- port would be at any given time during the night to Montreal.

However. an air force spokesman said. the flight plan was delayed. He said he could not explain the reason for the delay but it was presumed it was poor commiinlc lions.

But air transport ommand added another twist. it said the North Star filed I position report every half hour duriniz its flight. There was no explanation why these reports had not been re- celved by air defence command.

1.000-T0-l CHANCE

Mr. Campbell said the two CF-I003 met the North Star at not) feet. then climbed to SEMI fggt to practice inerceptlon tse- uc: with each other--e normal procedure to give crews practice and use up areas! hid to hip

had excess fuel and would stay up a while longer. That was its last radio iransmlsion. The pilot gave no indication of trouble.

Mr. Campney said all evidence polnis to the likelihood that the plane descended in a steep dive from a very high altitude.

one air force officer said it was 1.000-to-I chance that the falling CF-I00 would hit the niins' home. surrounded by open fields.

TIIROWN I50 FEET

Names of the nuns. priest and cook were released by the relig- lous order. Names of the two air men were released by the RCAF shortly after.

Only the body of the priest has been positively identified. He was Rev. Richard Ward. 42. of Toronto. naval chaplain and also convent chaplain and a Korean War vet- eran. '

Father Ward was hurled 150 feet by the blast of gasoline and rocket onto the lawn outside the three storey brick building.

Wilfrid Potvln related: "My brother. Joe. another brother. Lu- cien. and I picked up the priest.

Bodies of three nuns were taken from the still smouldering debris but 9.-uld not be identified. Search- ers picked slowly through the ru- ins. They found only bits of hu- man bodies along with blackened rosarles and half-burned missals.

OPEN INVESTIGATION

The RCAF moved swiftly to launch an investigation of the ac- cldcnt. A board of inquiry was appointed immediately.

Meanwhile. Prime Minister St. Laurent said he was deeply shocked by the accident.

"In the name or the government and on my own behalf. I would express my most sincere sym- pathy to the distinguished commu- nlty of the Grey Nuns of the Cross 'and to the families of the unfor- .tunate victims of the disaster," he .aaid in a statement.

IN BED AT TIME

All the residents of the home were in bed when the CF-I00 came like a bomb out of an overcast sky

"If was horrible." said sister Louisc Auguste of St. Arsenc tie Tcmisque. Que. one of the surviv lng nuns.

"The whole building seemed to burst into flames at once. I think everyone on the top floor must have been burned. Many on the ground floor also were unable to get out.

"The plane made a terrible crash when it hit. At first I thought it was a bomb."

Lawrence Barber. one of the first to reach the scene from the scat- tering of houses about a quarter- mile from the convent. said he climbed a fire escape up what was left of one wall.

"But I couldnlt get in because of the flames. They (the nuns) were hanging on the walls inside.

HEARD NUNS SCREAMING Those who escaped were clad in white nigbtgowns. Most were in their bare feet.

Gloria. it-year-old daughter of Mrs. Marie Flora. said that when she and her mother reached the lnfemo "Mommy and I stood there Ind cried."

"I was sick to my stomach when the screams dies off, I knew what that meant. Mommy and I went back inside and beside our bed: Ind prayed for our friends."

EXPLORINC-vim iP.E.l.

Horticulturists from the Domin. ion Experimental Farm and from from the Provincial Department of Agriculture will intensify their Ex- perimental program of growing growing fruits and vegetables in the Province wiih the idea of de- veloping varllies which are most suitable to the frozen food and canning industry.

Working on this project are Mr. Gordon Warren of the Experiment- al Farm and Mr. George Wright for the Provincial Department of Agriculture.

All types of fruits and vegetables

will be under research. In the in- stance d peas, for example. farm- ers have to be advised as to the proper day for planting. The matur- ity of peas is measured to a great extent by the number of heat units they absorb during the growing period. I-Iortlculturists s(ate that a pen does not grow in temperatures lower than 40 degrees. So from the time of planting a careful check of the daily temperatures is kept and when the vegetables have been exposed during their growth to a required number of heat units they are presumed ready to harvest.

A DOUBLE CHECK

As a double check however. an instrument known as a temdero- meter ls used to determine the tenderness of the peas and when they have reached the proper state the farmer is advised to harvest them.

Potcito Prices Easier By 25 To 35 Cents

Montreal and Toronto potato prices were reported down by about 25 to 35 cents yesterday, possibly the result of very high track holdings. as well as con- sumcr resistance to recent high prices, the Potato Marketing Board reported.

During the past ten days retail prices in our Canadian markets have reached the point where the consumer is beginning to look at the price tag on potatoes: where- as. throughout the season. the price of potatoes has attracted the consumer. and brought about increased consumption and the re- sultant record movement of Island potatoes during the past 3-4 months.

Prices locally were reported at 52.05-53.00 bulk per 75 lbs. at shipping points yesterday.

The story in regard to beans is much the same. For the growing d dried beans it is learned that they can be sown by a drill broadcast by plugging every fifth hole in the machine. They are harvested by a combine and threshed in a manner similar to the grain crop.

it is estimated that an acre of beans can be grown by the farm- or for about 0. His r "irn per acre is in the vicinity of 5 00. The harvesting hauling and processing of the beans is all included in the contract price so that a minimum of labor is experienced in relation to other crops.
