Transport Dept. Will Take Over 4 Arctic Fields

OTTAWA (OP) — The federal transport department is planning to take over operation of four Arctic" alnfields where Distant Early Warning radar stations are located, officials said Monday.

The fields were built in 1955 for the airlift of building materials and personnel into_ the radar sites. .

Officials said control of the radar stations will remain with the United States. The transport department was interested only in providing facilities for prospect- ing planes and the like. In the same manner, it had taken over operation of the airfield at Fro- bisher on Baffin Island, a main supply pomt ‘for the DEW line.

The department’s plans to take over operation of the fields which now have only gravel runways have not yet been approved by cabinet. \ \

The depnntment'wrant-s first to take over-the fields at Cambridge Bay and Hall Lake next year and start construction there. It was hoped to begin construction of liv- ing accommodation next year at Tuktoylsk-tuk and Cape Parry. These four fields would give the transport department civilian acre ports right across the Arctic shore of mainland Canada.‘ Defence Minister Peaches said he has no objection to the plans provided the department is able to make the necessary arrange- ment with ‘the civilian company now operating the airstrips, Fed- eral Electric of New York.

UK Scientists \ May Have Rust Problem Lickecl

LONDON (AP) - British scien- tists may have come up with an answer to rust.

In 1951 archaeologists w er e startled to: uncover Roman knives, keys and horseshoes in al- most perfect condition. Pulled from moist layers of. soil in Northern England, the metal showed no trace of rust or corro- sion. Scientists credited a tannin- like agent in the soil.

Tannin is a highly astringent substance used in tanning hides...

Chemists went to work and made a preparation from the agent found in the soil at the site of the Roman excavations.

Paint, iron and steel com-pan- ies joined in field trials of the preparation.

Big Ben, ‘the massive clock atop Parliament, was treated 18 months ago. Recently the iron- work was examined and found to be rust-free after the wettest sum mer in 55 years.

Scientists still are cautious but a guess is that the same sub— stance that preserved Roman rel- ics will soon be saving industry millions of dollars yearly.

.L{.

Summerside, -

Hurricane Helene which lashed Cape Breton with 90-mile-per-hour winds Monday also left its mark on the Eastern end of Prince Ed. ward Island with reports of dam- age of tree, barns. power failures and exceedingly high tides.

Electric power was completely off in Souris from 7.30 am. until noon when high winds knocked over three trees on the town’s Main Street directly across from the Town Hall.

Work crews from Maritime Electric had the interruption un- der control by noon when nor- mal service was resumed. How- ever, it was reported that ser- vice eastward to East Point from Souris was not resumed until 4

.m_ ’

Power failures were also re ported in many other sections of the eastern part of the Province, but Maritime Electric officials had workmen on the job all day and reported last night that ser- viée had been restored at all major circuits. Several minor ex- tensions were still out.

BOAT SUNK '

I At Souris a small boat anchored in scuris River and owned by Fred Paquet, of Souris West was sunk in the blow. Despite some of the highest tides seen in some time, none of the boats at the wharf were damaged. A number of draggers were in port.

Tides were so high they reach- ed to within a foot of the top of the Souris breakwater and waves splashed over it.

Only property damage report- ed in Souris was a barn owned

by Percy Clinton that was levell- ed by a gust. No injuries were reported.

The high winds and driving rain were felt in Montague and adjacent areas although no ex- tensive damage was reported. Falling limbs from a tree'broke windows in a Montague.home and a large shed used as a store- house for lobster traps in Murray Harbour North was blown down. However, there were no traps in the building at the time.

NO CROP DAMAGE

Fruit growers in the Montague area, Bert Haneveld and Bert Hickens, reported negligible dam- age to their crops which were well sheltered.

Ferry service between Borden and Tormentine was not inter- rupted but winds and high seas kept both Northum-berland Fer- ries in, port all day."l‘he storm toppled a wharf at Cariboo, N. S., but neither the Lord Selkirk, tied up there, nor the ferry dock were damaged.

2.52 INS. RAIN

In the 46 and one half hours that the storm lasted, 2.52 in- ches of rain fell, officials at the Giarlottetown meteorolbgical office stated. Meastu‘ement were commenced at 5:00 p. m. Saturday and instruments were checked every six hours durum the duration of the downpua' which ended yesterday at ape proximately 2:20 p. m.

Highest wind velocities were recorded at two o’clock Monday

morning when speeds up to 55

miles per hour were frequent. The gale gradually dimmnshed to the point that, at 1:30 p. m. yesterday, it was down to 18 m. p. h. ’

Some damage was reported by all utilities except the Conn dia-n National Telegraphs which maintained cntinuous operation on all circuits throughout the big blow. '

In Charlottetown the Man- time Elcotric Company report- ed Ill’halt several of their mean circuits had been put out of operation by the storm.

The commercial area down- town was witlnu't service for several hours during the early part of the morning. In addi- tion, many street lilglhts were burned out when high tension wire crossed feeder lines. DAMAGE RE-PAIRED

By yesterday evening all the major damage had been repatr- cd with the exception of the street light replacements which task was in the process of com- pletion last night.

It was also necessary to re- pah' damaged eleclmical cir- cuits in the Minis-Montague area. and the main Hunter River-Kensinglton circuits, a companylspokcsman stated.

So far as the Island. Telflne Company was concerned, "or damage was confined to the eastern section of the Province.

“Only minor troulbles remain to be cleared up," the openating

superintendent stated last night.

Office of the Provincial Depart- ment of Welfare and Labour will be moved soon to new quarters in the building on Great George Street formerly occupied by the Apprais'er’s Branch of Canadian Customs, it was announced yea- terday by Hon. A.A. MacIssac, Minister of Welfare and Labour. Mr. MacIssac explained that the move was found necessary because of the expanding services being provided by the Welfare and Labour Department. ‘ He said such a consolidation of offices would provide better facilities and should result in greater efficiency.

COMPARES VALUES

In comparing the ‘values of activities in the fast ' moving modern world, Mr. Sinclair said that the competition on TV and other time-consuming entertain- ment features have in a mea- sure reduced the desire of men for fraternal activities. “There is always a place = for fraternity and brotherhood and never more so than now”. Generally speaking, Masonry flourishes in all parts of the‘civilized world and friendships are established on a good sound basis, With the development of Character as it’s purpose”, be said.

M. W. Bro. W. R. Carson ex- pressed the thanks of those pre» sent to the speaker for his stimulating, inspiring and inter- esting address.

A letter from His Honour Lieut. Governor F. W alter Hymdman expressed his regret that a previous engagement pre- vented attendance of himself and Mrs. Hyndnnan.
