Both mother and child are in "excellent condition," the news ag- ency said. ‘ The birth occurred at '1 P. M. (2 P. M. A.S.T.J, the account cou- tinued.

Miss Bergman has filed for a Mexican divorce against Dr. Peter Llndstrom, Hollywood physician They have an 11-year-old daugh- ter. They were married in Stock- holm in 1937. She and Roberto Rossellini, Italian movie director, have announced their intention to wed once her divorce becomes fin-

a1.

Rosselllnl had declined last week to answer a question as to whether Miss Bergman was expecting a child.

Rosselllnrs marriage to Marcella de Marchis was annulled o. few weeks ago by o/Vlennese court. After Miss Bergman went to Stromboli Isle off Italy to make a picture with, Rossellinl she an- nounced she would give up her husband _- even her career - to marry the director.

Lost Figureheall Was intended For

Provincial Museum

Lack of lnuscum facilities in the Province was indirectly the cause of the loss of the carved figure- head of the famous “Maaco Polo" sailing vessel. destroyed in the re- cent fire at Montague, it was learned from Mr. R.K. Clements. manager of the Maritime Electric Company at Montaflle- M!‘ Oiements acquired the figurohead at Stanley Bridge from a resident whose father had salvaged it from the ship at the time it was wreck- ed off Cavendish sixty-seven years ago. I-Ie was holding it in expectation that a. suitable place would be acquired by the Govern- ment where such relics collld be preserved.

Among the papers saved by Mr Clements from the fire in his com- pany's office in the Masonic build- ing at Montague on Ja.n. >20 185i were some interesting details con- cerning the history of the "Maltco Polo," including a copy of "The Ship Lovers’ Magazine" containing a. picture of the figure-head above

It is stated in this account that nearly evcry house in Cavendish and vicinity contained some souvenir of the "Marco Polo", par- ticular reference being made to a door which is still in use Ln the Cullen homestead at @1091: River.

Brief History

The "Marco Polo" was launched at Saint John, N B. in April, 1851. Her length was 184 feet and her registered tonnage 1,625. Her PTOW carried a full length flgurehead of the renowned explorer whose Home she bore After making a few "1115 to Liverpool, England. she was sold there and eventually came into possession of James Baines. chief owner of llhe Black Ball lint. The most celebrated line of passenger Ships in its day. _

Balnes ll was who realized the possibilities of the "Marco Polo”. and she was immediately refitted and put lrl ‘the Australian emigrant trade. She proved to be a remark- albly swift saller and her first trip to Australia, commanded by Capt James Nicol "Bully" Forbes. was made in the then record tfline of sixty-eight days, the return trip taking seventy-six days.

When she hauled into her dock in Liverpool at the end of this voyage there was suspended be- tween her masts a huge strip of canvas bearing the words: "The fastestlship in the world."

She continued in the Australian 111419 [(71- mnliy years. Even run- ning in competition with steam- ships ln the early days of steam.

She was condemn-ed in London 1n 1580 and was purchased by a Norwegian company who empoy- ed her to carry timber from Can- adian ports to the Old Country.

In July, 1883. after loading pint’ deals alt Montmorency. Quebec she was caught in a gale in the Gulf of 3t. laws-once. and piled up ‘at Cavendish on the nortlh shore of Prince Edward Island. where shs became a complete wreck. Thus her life ended after thirty- two years world wandering, within a day'a sail of the port that gave her ‘birth.

Mr. Justice I. C. Rand infor- jected that the Govcrnlncllt had expressed the desire b0 be allowed to "clean up" the dcoontrol of rents in an orderly manner.

Mr. Chltty replied that allowing an increase in rent ceilings was not docontrolllng.

Mr. Varcoe, counsel for the Fed- eral Government charged that Mr. Chilly had entered the argument in me disguise of merely assisting the court, just for the purpose of averting the responsibility of pro- ducing fact and evidence to swb- stantiate claims that the controls were invalid.

In fact, Mr. Chltty was an "in- terested party" representing the landlords who would benefit if the controls are lifted There-fore, he was not lnerefy "assisting" the court as an innocent bystander.
