OTTAWA. Oct. 16 - (CP) - The Post Office Department. has can-celled its proposed exper- imental helicopter mail delivery service because the aircraft it was to use may be going to the Antarctic with its mother ship. the C. D. Howe.

Negotiations are going on be- twecn the Canadian and Aus- tralian Governments for the loan of Canada's arctic patrol ship for a proposed expedition into the Antarctic.

Discussions have not been completed but the Post. Office said in view of the uncertainty. it was cancelling its plan to begin an experimental helicop- ter service in Eastern Ontario beginning Nov. 1.

The C. D. Howe. which the Australian Government would like to have because of her speclal construction and ability to make long cruises without refuelling. now is berthed at Quebec City.

WINNIPEG. Oct. 16 - (CPI - Westerners whooped it up for their royal visitors today in a high, wide and handsome welcome.

From the wheat fields and truck farms of the flat prairies and from the homes of their biggest city, they came out to voice a bolster- ous reception that ran like wild- fire along 17 crowded miles of Winnipeg's streets.

It was a western-style. heart- warming display that thawed the knlflng chill of. a bitter north wind sweeping through more than 200,000 persons massed through the

city for Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip. The crowds not only roared.

For in this "Gateway To The West." it was the couple's intro- duction to a 12-day swing through the Prairies and British Colum- bia. where some of the hcartiness of the frontier days.stlll carries down to the present.

Regina Next.

The Prince and Princess, who flew here this morning from Kap- uskasing. Ont. alter thelnswing through Ontario. leave tonight by their special train for Regina. They will spend a day there and in oth- er parts of wheat-growing Saskat- chewan before moving on to Cal- gary and the cow country.

Here. except when the crowd was taking them over. they went through another round of formal functions. There was a provincial luncheon. visits to the City Hall of Winnipeg and Hotel de Ville at nearby French-speaking St. Boniface and ii. reception in the Parliament Buildings.

But. perhaps they found most in- ierest in an afternoon visit to the siren in this city devastated by the 1950 spring inundation of the Red River. They were shown where re- construction work on the millions of dollars of damage had been carried out. and where dikes had been put up to guard Winnipeg against another disaster.

Biting Cold, lncw

On their drives through Winni- peg in the biting cold. flecked by occasional t " of snow, the Princess and her husband rode for the first time in a limousine with a transparent plastic tap. Up to now. in the mild weather of the cast, they always had driven in an open car. sometimes perched atop the back seat.

Protected by the plastic. the Princess chucked off her A niink Jacket to appear in a robin-red coat with a perky matching list. It looked like the same ensemble she were at Ottawa last Thursday. Ber soceaeries were black.

The Prince was wearing his lieutenant-cominanderis navy un- iform, with greatcost.
