Miner Gets =< First Bear
| TIMMINS (CP‘ — A hardrock miner has jumped the gun to put a Timmins committee two bears ahead of the. official hunt for skins to rehat the Buckingham Palace guards.
The bearhunt, said to be the largest Northern Ontario has seen officially starts Saturday but 28- year-old Max Latham went out ‘Monday and shot the district's first bear of. the season, a 200- pounder.
He gave the skin to the bear- hunt committee which received its first skin from Carleton Place near Ottawa last week.
The two skins will provide four ceremonial hats for the elite guards who have been criticized over worn-out, mangy and tat- tered headgear.
The London war office has gratefully received an offer by Mayor Leo Del Villano of Tim- mins to send the guards ‘‘all\ the bearskins we can get.” DEMANDS FROM HOME
A Canadian regiment also wants some of the spoils of the Timmins hunt. The quartermas- ter of the Royal Canadian Regi- ment in Toronto told the mayor its hats are in worse condition than those of the Britons. The Canadian guards get their bear- skins as hand-me-downs from the

Baltimore. Twenty - nine bodies bodies were recovered within twe hours from the scattered debris.
At Charleston, W.Va., about 450 miles to the west, another four- engined plane, a conventional Constellation from upper New ‘York state and Pittsburgh, also bound for Atlanta, crashed while attempting to land.. Two bodies were recovered from the wreck- age and at least 13 were taken to hospital. There had been a light rain, and the runway was wet.
FLEW THROUGH STORM
The plane which exploded near Baltimore was flying through a thundersquall. Fred Hamlin, an official at Martin Company, near where accident took place, said first indications were that the plane was struck by lightning, then exploded.
Witnesses at the scene said there couldn't have been ary sur- vivors.
The Civil Aeronautics Board said it has no record of any air- liner ever having been exploded by lightning. Lightning has fre- quently hit planes, the C. A. B. said, but has caused only slight damage since the electrical charge is not grounded when a plane is in flight.
The C. A. B. sent a team of investigators to the scene of the Baltimore crash. First reports were that the plane was appar-
lently flying through extremely
turbulent air when it came apart.

Seating Row Deadlocks Big 4 Foreign Ministers
By BRACK CURRY GENEVA (AP)—The big four foreign ministers conference dead - locked Tuesday over ,a Soviet proposal to seat Poland and Czechoslovakia as full par- ticipants.
The ministers wrangled incon-|" “\glusively at their second day’s
session for more than an hour, then adjourned with the dispute unseftled. The Russians an- nounced they intend to bring up the issue again today,
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko advanced the new pro- position for enlarging the con- ference in the wake of his de- feat Monday on a demand that East Germany be admitted as a full and equal participant.
Gromyko insisted that Poland and Czechoslovakia must be in- cluded as a fribute to their suf- ferings from German aggression.
WEST BALKS
. The Western foreign ministers balked. They urged that the big four get on with their big prob- lems, the Berlin.and German is- sues, They suggested that Poles and Czechs might be called in later during discussion of points of specific interest to them.
Despite. the clash of views, & British spokesman said the at- mosphere of the session was “calm and quiet.”
A Soviet spokesman declared Russia would insist on a positive solution but there was no im- mediate indication that Russia would walk out of the confere —or refuse a compromise si as the one on German represen-
tation Monday. U.S. State Secretary Christian Herter, Britain's Selwyn Lloyd

Ghana Survey Is Completed
Africa’s struggle for inde- pendence and self government, currently focused by unrest and strife in the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, stems largely from the political awakening in Ghana which re- sulted in its emergence two years ago as the first all black Commonwealth nation,”
George V. Fraser, director of information for the province of Prince Edward Island, who re- turned last night from Africa.
Mr. Fraser has just completed a three-month survey of tourism
the Ghanian Government under
Canada’s technical sen ag program. He was to the Ministry of Trade and In-
dustries in Accra and, during the course of ‘his duties, visited the neighboring countries of Nigeria and the Ivory Coast for consulta- tions with government.
“The progress which Ghana has made in self government since gaining
independence hes inspired other African nations to ‘press for a free hand in running their own affairs,” Mr. Fraser said.
Commenting on the tourist survey, he said: “Ghana has a good potential for tourism but, at the moment, lacks enough ac- commodation and other related facilities.”
He. added, however that the situation ‘is likely to ber emedi- ed when his official — to the Ghana Government imple- mented.
This calls for the erection of a number of resort hotels at sel- fected cent modern restaur- ants and other facilities.

It was the 105th convocation of the University. In the absence of the Most Reverend Chancellor, Bishop MacEachern the. gradua- ting exercises were conducted by
t. Rev.. J.A. -Murphy, D.D.,
icar General for the Diocese of Charlottetown and a former rec- tor of the University.
In the rector’s report, Rt. Rev. J.A. Sullivan noted the expans- ion experienced: by the Univer- sity since its founding. He was thankful for the support that had been received through the Can- ada Council, federal aid and from businessmen and othdr indivi- duals. His report is to be found in full in this issue.
SPECIAL GUESTS
Special guests included His Honour, Lieutenant Governor F. W. Hyndman, Premier A. W. ‘Matheson and Deputy Mayor A. Walthen Gaudet. The Governor and the Premier spoke briefly at the conclusion of the exercis-
es. “The Christian way of life is under attack from two direct- ions’, the Hon. Mr, Fulton stat- ed. “One is from without, and this is the doctrine of Commun- ism; the other is from within, and this is passive indifference, which is just as formidable an opponent as the first’. | “There is a struggle for the possession of men’s minds, as well as the physical ORR ote their bodies, and this is being waged even here at home. The battle in the physical sphere is easy to fight; it is tan- gible afd easy to.appreciate, ard it carries with it a sense of
urgency. “Communism is a fight “for

We can’t.doubt or deny the achievements made by this materialistic way of life, but there is a, sphere in which we have all the resources and they have none, and that is in the pos- session of fundamental truth. We have fundamental truth in Christianity; they have nothing, only their skills.” BATTLE FOR MINDS
“If the Communists win the battle for possession of the minds of men, they realize there will be no need for a physical battle”, Mr. Fulton said. “So just as the peoples of the Communistic state live and practice their way of life, in the same way the peoples of: Christian countries must live according to their beliefs.
