WASHINGTON, Aug. 19 --fA P) --'l‘he U-nited States formally with- drew today its offer to bring the Indonesians and the Dutch t0- gether for direct negotiations for a peaceful settlement of their hos- tllities.

The action came after Indonesia refused to accept without. qualifi- cation the United States proposal that it bring the two countries to- gehher.

During the last two weeks of hot. dry weather farmers in Que- bec have almost finished the harvest of a heavy yield of good quality hay. However. pastures have suffered from the drought and generally speaking. milk pro- duction seems to be decreasing.

Satisfactory harvesting weather has prevailcd throughout the week in ihe southern coastal and interior areas of British Colum- hia.

The wcnther continues to he hot and dry throughout the Maritime Provinces Hwyiitgz is completed in most areas and harvesting of grains is. tinilcr wav. With heavy top growth the prospects are for satisfactory yields of potatoes: however more rain is needed for the continued development of the apple crop.

No Estimate of Damage

It is impossible to estimate the damage. One resident told me that. property damage would run more than $100,000 while loss of livestock, wild game. and damage to forest lands cannot be estim- ated at. present.

Cows and norses and other do- mestic livestock were left running loose when the evacuation start- ed. Rangcrs came across count- less wild game-mostly deer-that had succumbed to the rushing flames.

‘ I am proud of the opportunity of handing to you, Mr. Douglas Gor- don. a recognition of your life- saving prowess. Such an act as you have voluntarily performed shows not only your great ability as s swimmer, but it also shows courage and bravery in no un- certain quantities when you im- mediately and without thought for safety to your own person, jumped into the water and were performed the act of saving another human from drowning. No fear of danger to yourself. no thou ;nt of public acclaim, no thought of re- cognition such as you are receiving today entered your mind; the one absorbing thought was that a life was at stake and you. sir. pi-r- formed the hero function of life- saving. Your action on that rnem- orahle occasion places you in ii category which words may fail to 1 express, but which may well be said to be above that of any othe:. There is no greater act in our lives than life-saving. and the award being handed you today in this connection is an acknow- ledgment of your honourable and hriive action which will be to you , and to posterity a reminder that‘, your voluntary perfornance has been recognized by The Royal‘ Hu- mane Society of Canada.
