Down at th waterfront, where the tang of the salt in the air brings visions of cruises ahead. men from the "Queen Charlotte" are giving their harbour craft an overhaul and refil, in preparation for their summer training.

Two 27 ft "whalers." used for pulling or sailing. are in the boat- shed almost. ready for practice use by the R. C. N. permanent force and the reserve. The larger Diesel powered harbour craft is under- going an engine and paint job at the Marine Wharf.

Busy Day For City Firemen

What looks like a record for fire calls occurred yesterday betwcen ll a.m. and 2 pm., when four alarms were rung in within the three hour period.

A gross fire on the Mount Ed- ward Road did no damage, and a similar call for Spring Park Road eliminated a few fox pens not in use.

On Spring Park Road, a car which took fire was removed from the garage before any damage was suffered and before the firemen reached the scene. .

A somewhat more dangerous sit- uation arose at. the Union Road

in barn being demolished. Tlie prompt arrival and action on the part of City firemen prevented the tire spreading to nearby buildings at this important plant.

Another grass fire on Gerald street at 5.15 P.M., brought the total alarms for the day to five.
