Officer Herbert W. Johnston. 2!. of Sarnla, Ontario.

The accident took place about 2:30 in the afternoon. while the plane was on a routine flight.

Details of the accident were scanty However. it was believed the pilot had made an unsuccess- ful attempt to bail out.

F0 Johnston joined the air force we years ago and had been stat- ioned st Chatharn about two months. His wife lives at Chatham.

Chatham Air Force base report- ed the wreckage was spotted by an aircraft from the Summerside Station about 4 p.m. The same announcement said the pilot's body was not recovered.

The location of the crash site and of the dead airman were pin- pointed with in a few minutes af- ter the crash as being on an ice flow, half way between Bur- ton snd Campbellton about two miles from shore. This was so- colnplfshad through the coordin- ated work of the Ground Obser- vers Corps in the area between Summerside and Alherton.

Mr. Ivan Vaughan. regional di- rector for the Summerside area said last night that a report on the crash landing -had been called in to him within minutes, infor- mation whlchgwss immediately re- lsyed by him to Moncton. Halifax

Chairman oi the Street Committee was unable to be pro sent due to illness.

Snow removal was the chief mat- ter dealt with at last night's meet- ing. It was revealed that since January 8. 82.000 has been spent in snow removal in the City. An examination of the work being done showed that a good part of the equipment being used was on a rental basis which was running the cost to a high figure. Another reasonfound for the high cost in- volved was the fact that-men were working outside the normal work- ing hours and thus runnlnl IID large overtime accounts.
