The R. C. M. P. cutter French, standing offshore in Bay St. Law- rence in case it became necessary to evacuate 150 villagers as had been dons Monday when fire tripped the 350 people of Pleasant Bay. reported the flames appeared to have changed direction and were heading towards Aspy Bay

Fire Fighters Helpless

They said there was little the 200-odd firefighters could do but make attempts to keep their com- munications lines open and save scattered farmhouses in the lire area.

Smoke covered such s. vast area that Forestry Department patrol planes were unable to fly over the burning countryside during the day to determine the exact extent and direction of the flames. ‘

Except for the brief message from the French which reported smoke billowing over her anchor- age, the only word reaching l-ers from that area came via Canada Gypsum Company's radio connec- tlon with the shlanlns pori- o! Dlngwsll attire head of as» Bay.

The message said that Dingwall, a village of fishermen and gypsum quarry workers, appeared to be out of the "hazardous area." Foresters intended to remedy the communications difficulty to- morrow by flying in two-way radio sets.
