New Atlantic Cable Planned

MONTREAL (CP)—The Inter- national Civil Aviation Organiz- ation announced Thursday that a new transatlantic communica- tions cable is to be laid in the early 1960s to improve air traffic control along the great route across the North Atlantic

The cable is primarily to im- prove communications between Gander, Nfld.. and Prestwick, Scotland, where, the present ra- dio relay is subject’ to blackouts and other high-latitude quirks re- sponsible for such inconvemences as delayed flights.

The four countries primiarily involved — Canada, the United Kingdom, Denmark and Iceland —are arranging with cable com- panies for the cable-layinz. ex-

of 1960. All countries with air lines flying the North Atlantic are to share the cost. STARTS AT CORNER BROOK The cable is to run from Corner Brook, Nfid., to Gairlock, Scot- land, via Frediksdal, Greenland, and Vestmannaeyjar, Iceland It*has no connection with a telephone cable being laid by the Canadian Overseas Telecommun- ications Corporation in partner- ship with the British Post Office scheduled to be completed- In

1961, but ICAO said COTC will handle Canada’s share of the cable-laying.

A further honor has been ad- ded to the already impressive list obtained. by Pic. Barry Mac- Donald, son of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer MacDonald, formerly of Charlottetown.

Three Aboard Copter Found

GSEPTALES, Que. (CP)—Three persons forced to spend a night in the northern Quebec bush when their helicopter was forced down beside a remote lake, were found Thursday, apparently un- harmed.

The three are to be picked up today by a Northern Wings heli- copter from this community 350

compared with 25.1.

Immigration into Canada in 1958 fell to 125,000 from 282,000 in 1957.

“The decline in birth rates in 1958," the review says, ‘‘followed a marked fal] in the marriage rate on both sides of the border in 1957.

“Since marriage rates contin- ued to decline in 1958, a further drop in birth rates might well oc- eur in 1959. It would not, in fact, be surprising if the rate of popu- lation growth in both countries continued to be rather slower than in most years of the 1950s until some time in the 1960s when young people from the post-war doom begin to marry and found families.”
