THE ICE FIELDS MONDAY

Ice Stiii Firm Along West

Coast OI Cape Breton Island

"Ice still holds firmly along the west coast of Cape Breton Island. George Bay and the north entrance of the Strait of Canso". Captain Angus Brown stated last night following a five hour air patrol over the ice area yesterday.

Captain Brown noted that the ire breaker l'Ylberville is getting through the ice in George Bay but the IPP is rinsing in immedi- ately behind the ship owing to

heavy pressure. The mass of ice - continues on the west coast of.' Cape Breton leaving a track a- round the East Point of P.E.l-ll about fifteen miles wide, passing about twenty miles of the Mag-i dalen Islands and follows aroundi Cape St. Lawrence lo the east? coast of Cape Breton to about ten ' miles west of St. Esprit within seventeen miles of the south ent- irance of the Strait of Canso.

John Diefenhaker toured tlits is- land province Monday, telling the story of how his Scots ancestors just missed settling here and expressing confidence for his Progressive Conservative P9"!!! chances in the June 10 election. "T)iere's a spirit today among our people that spells the hope. of victory," he said at a morning meeting at Montague. centre of King's constituency on the east end of Prince Edward Island. And for tile benefit of this prov- ince which was largely settled by Scots. he recalled how his ma- ternal ancestors, two Bannermau brothers from Sutherlandshlre. "missed the boat" for Lord Sel- kirk's 1007 Immigration group which came to P.E.l. five years later. The brothers came on Sel- kirk's second settlement expedi- born on a sled between Fort Churchill and York Factory in the winter of 101243." he said. The Progressive Conservative leader motored 30 miles to Mon- tague, where '.ie chatted on the sidewalk with about 25 men. Much of the population was absent. preparing for Wednesday's open- ing of the lobster fishing season. He spoke to another 50 in a res- taurant gathering. then motored back to Charlottetown and flew to Summerside. main centre of Prince constituency on the east end of the island. He was to speak Monday night at Charlottetown. in Queen's rid- ing which returns two Commons members. The only P.E.I. Con- servative victory in the last elec- tion was in one of the two Queen's seats. At Montague. where the Con- servative candidate carries the famous political name of John A. Macdonald. Mr. Dleienbtlker ran into an RCMP corporal. Don Wan- namaker. whom he recognized from his Prince Albert. Sask.. constituency. Cpl. Wannamaker was stationed before 1955 at Pun- nichy. Sask. He also met a hale and hearty 96-year-old resident. Philip Mur- phy. who said he has voted Con- servative at every election for 75

years. SAW "ALL THAT CROWD"

''I saw Sir John A. Macdonald. Tupper and all that crowd." he

told Mr. Dinfenbaker. "I saw them all."

"That's wonderful." Mr. Dlefen- baker replied.

While the party leader chatted on the sidewalk, Mrs. Diefen-

baker stepped across the road to meet some women in a general store.

Mr. Diefenbaker told the meet- ing that a government 22 years in office like the Liberals should be changed. "A , '”-tcal party that cannot mobilize the hearts and aspirations of young men and women cannot live.''

Since the Conservative leader- ship convention last December. when he was chosen to head the party. students at five or six uni- versities had elected Consen- atlve governments in mock par- liaments. Tiiat trend had hap- pened in 1930 when the Conserv- atives last won federal power.

At Summerside he had lunch at the officers mess at the RCAI-' station. At an after dinner talk which stayed away from politics he referred to his tough schedule of four or five speeches in day and told a story once told by Abraham Lincoln under the same circumstances.

Lincoln had told about a Negro

red and feathered and run out of town on a rail. A few days later Lincoln asked film how he felt.

The Negro replied: "Ii it hadn't been for the honor of the thing I'd have rather walked."
