Lose Lives In, Trawler Fire

MULGRAVE, N.S. (CP)—Max- well Dodge, 38, first mate of the ill-fated trawler Sheila Patricia, said Thursday night four of the vessel’s 13-man crew, including Capt. Uriah Hillier, were drowned attempting to escape from the burning ship in a dory.

Dodge was one of six men res- cued after 17 anxious hours aboard the flaming trawler. He said in a telephone in-terviewv he didn’t want to tell of the deaths of the four men in earlier ac- counts of the disaster because next-of-kin had not been notified.

The dory was launched about 11:45 a.m. Wednesday shortly after fire broke out in the Sheila Patricia’: galley. Dodge said the captain and three others were swept away when the dory almost capsized on hitting the water. Three men managed to cling to it. The dory with their bodies in- it was found late Thursday about 23 miles from where it w-as launched.

The bodies were picked up by the Acadian Fisher, sister ship of the Sheila Patricia. The Acadian Fisher was expected to arrive here at 3 a.m. today. No cause was given for the men’s deaths and they were not identified.

this year’s Prince Edward Island Music-al Festival experienced the first break in the steady diet of dancing classes with the inclusion in -yesterday afiternoon’s program at Birchwood High of three Gaelic singing classes for Juniors.

In addition several senior Gae- lic classes were completed last night during the session held at Prince of Wales College.

Their rendition of the 33rd Psalm in Gaelic won first place in Class 278, Gaelic, four-part, for a mixed rural quartette hail- ing from Caledonia and Valley- field West.

Singing in this group were: Chester A. Martin and Allan Cameron, Cxaledonia; and Mr. and Mrs William. A. Bruce, Val- leyfield West.

Awarding this .quartette the high mark of 92, Pipe Major C.I.N. MacLeod., of Sydney,‘Nova Scotia, said their singing was very refreshing and relaxed.

“I could find nothing whatever wrong with their Gae1ic," be de- clnared.

ADJUDICATOR PLEASED

Major MacLeod said he was particularly pleased to note that this entry came from a country district because “the only hope for the survival of the Gaelic lies in _0U.II' rural areas.”

The Gaelic singing adjudicator also had great praise for the

other entry in this class, the Haz- elport Quartet-te.

Though placing them second with a score of 88 marks, he said that in singing this old Scottish hymn, the quartette exhibited “excellent blending and phras- ing”, and the “religious tone and fervour” required.

“Gaelic is the oldest and rich- est language in the whole wide world," the Scottish-born adju-

N0 FEAR

“If these two entries are an example of what is being done, we need have no fear for the dis- appearance of Gaelic on the 1s- land for many years to come," he added.

To the Caledonian Singers, the ringle entry in Class 276, Gaelic Chorus, senior, Major 1VBacLeod awarded 89 points.

This Charlottetown group gave a “very pleasing performance” the adjudicator said.

They sang the rollicking Scotch love song in excellent unison, but were a bit weak on word endings, he said, observing that in Gaelic, the ending of the word often changed its entire meaning.

Class 275, Gaelic Solo, 17 years and over was won by Ches- ter A. Martin, Caledonia, with a score of 90.

In second place came Mrs. R.B. MacLaren, scoring 89, followed by Miss Jacqueline MacDonald, scoring 86. Both lady contestants are from Charlottetown.

New Blasts In Russia?

_ TOKYO (Reuters) -— Scientists in northern Japan Thursday night reported monitoring a-n unusual series of atmospheric vibrations originating in Soviet Siberia and similar to those recorded during Russian nuclear weapons tests in February and March.

The report that the vibrations were recorded for more than an hour Wednesday came after an

unusually high amount of radio-'

active rain fell on the far north area of Japan Thursday morn- mg.

A spokesman for the Akita Ob- servatory said scientists could not yet confirm that a giant ex- plosion had oc-curred in Siberia but they agreed the vibrations did not result from a natural ear-th tremor.

Russia announced March 31 that i

it was suspending nuclear tests.

A Japanese National Observa- tory spokesman declined to com- ment on unconfinmed reports from Prague Wednesday that a giant accidental explosion had oc- curred in a ‘Soviet nuclear experi- mental station in Siberia’s Kam- chatka region. ‘ -

However, the Prague rumors in- dicated the Kamchatka blast oc- curred at least two _weeks before the Siberian vibrations recorded in Japan.

Gaelic Singing-Classes Are Featured At Music Festival

Pa-trons 'of ‘the first sectlonvofl

class, the adjudicator noted; sac- ing that each of the competitors showed -the “adult approach” necessary.

Elizabeth Haywood, Charlotte- town, scoring 87, was the winner of class 268, Sword Dance, 13-16. Marsha Wellner, Southport, came second, scoring 36, while Janet L. Mellish, Charlottetown, was third, with a score of 81. _ ‘

The Sword Dance should be danced with “zip" without being “wild”, Mrs. Roger Fink, dance adjudicator noted. D a n c e r s should be careful of their dress, she said, adding that in main-

land competitions, . points were .

often lost by improper dress.

In the Group Tap, Class 247, Mrs. Fink gave first place to “The Dancing Dominoes” of Charlottetown, awarding them 83 marks. Second position in this 6-entry competition went to “The Ross Tappers” also of Charlotte- town, with a marg of 76. “The Celtic Tappers”, roup 2, was third with 75.

This type of dance requires considerable “content" to get anywhere in festival competi- tion, Mns. F-ink said.

Larger groups often lose out because of the difficulty of keep- ing them together," she added.

FREDERICTON (ICP) — The

City Police are pressing the in- vestigation in the theft of $3,335 which was taken from the walk- in vault of the City tax office some time Wednesday night or early Thursday morning. ‘

The first indication that a theft had occurred came early yester- day morning with the discovery by caretaker Ray Steel that the vault door was ajar. He immedi- ately notified Constable Robert Downe who was on duty and on the second floor at the time of the caretaker’s discovery. In the presence of the police officer, Steele closed the vault door and locked it.
