Helicopters. TV. Electronics To Speed Deliveries

OTTAWA. Oct. 11 --(CP) - Revolutionsry changes are coming for Canada's postal system, W. J. Turnbuil, deputy postmaster gen- eral. disclosed today.

Within a. few years, push-button electronics, heliciptera and televis- ion screens will be put to use in a drive to speed mail handling across the country.

”We'll have television screens and helicopters in operation in a year,” the man who entered the Post Of- fice Department in its horse-and- buggy days, back in 1915, said in an interview. "Push-button elect- ronics will take a little longer- perhaps three years."

By late 1053, said Mr. Tumbull. one-time secretary to the late Prime Minister Mackenzie King. helicopters may be taking off from some Canadian post-office roof- tops to beat. downtown traffic snarl: and speed up mail deliveries mo outlying airports and commun-

es.

”Of course, we won't maintain the helicopter service ourselves" said Mr. Turnbull. "That would have to be done by some air ser- vice with the post. office paying a rental or service fee.”

. To Watch Employees

Television would inspect multiple mail handling operations for some central postoffice point.

Inspectors. by merely flicking a switch, could make sure handlers were on the Job and keeping the mail moving.

Television is incorporated in architectural plans for the new post office to be built at Winnipeg next year. -

More of a boon to the mail sort- er would be electronic mail con- veyors. bscause a sorter's arms can stretch only so far. he is limited to

Maksymiilan Ceisla in a tent stocked with arms, ammunition and foods.

He was taken to Montreal where police said he admitted the shot- gun kiliing of Aurellen I-louie Sept. 26. Houlc, who operated a com- bined restaurant and service sta- tion at Yamaska East, was killed during an attempted holdup.

Police learned from immigra- lion authorities that Ciesla had a craving for raw eggs. when farmers in the area of Maskinongc, 20 miles west of Three Rivers, report- ed yesterday their eggs disappear- ing police went to a. nearby island where they came upon Ciesia's tent. In the tent were four sawed- off shot-guns and ammunition. a- long with an estimated 310,000 worth of stolen supplies-tents, outboard motors, food, clothing and money. Three boats were moored near the tent.

Police said Ciesla told them he moved every night to a new island,

Spencer. 79, owner of a chain of motion picture theatres in the Maritime Provinces and a leading figure in the entertain- ment field in Canada for nearly so years died at his home here to- night. He was active in direction of his business and in his many welfare activities until his death, although his health had been fail- ing for several years.

Frederick Gllmour Spencer was born in Saint John, and although he began his career in his grand- father's tailoring business at the age of in, he soon after married a rising young singer in his home city, Miss Helen Craigie, and his interest swung to the concert stage. , '

Soon he was one of Canada's leading lmpresarios. and arrang- ed cross-counlry tours for such stars as Madame Albani. Melba and Nordica.

Ag- ainst the advice of friends and family, he plunged, into the. new business.

Over the years the business grew and the company he founded now operates a large chain of theatres.

When captured he wore a gaudy, lumbermanls-type shirt and boots that reached to his waist. He was clean-shaven but his hair was long.

Until Ciesla's arrest. police said they thought they were looking for two suspects but now believe Ciesla has no accomplice. He talk- ed freely in broken English and maintained he was alone.

Ciesla's story differed from that of Mrs. I-loule at the time her hus- band was shot. She told police two men attempted to rob the shop and shot her husband when he came running in as she screamed

for help.

Police said today Mrs. Houle may have been mistaken.

12,000-Mile Voyage Toolc Boat Now In Port Within 200 Miles Of North Pole

The Canadian Government ice- breaker "C. D. Howe". which sail-" ed from Quebec on June 2'? and returned to that port on Septem- ber 22, after a vo age which car- ried her 12.000 mics and with- in 900 miles of the North Pole. ar- rived at Charlottetown yesterday morning.

In addition to the 800 tons of usual supplies which the "Howe" carried to the lighthouses, radio stations and Eskimo Villages as far north as Churchill, two medi- cal doctors, a dentist and two ex-. changes nurses were pasengers who checked up on the white peo-' ple and Eskimos at the various points of call. Extra mechanics and exchange personnel were also taken to check on equipment and relieve station men, including R. C. M. P. constables.

Fresh supplies were taken on at Churchill, Manitoba, for the last leg of the trip into the far north which has given the "Howe" the distinction of being the only Cans- dian ship ever to have made the trip to Resolute Bay.

Pangnlrung. the largut Eskimo vilage and outpost was an im- portant port of call, as was also Craig Harbour on Ellsmers Is- lancl, Baffin Land. where the "Howe" remained for some time.

Although T. 13. patients are tak- en out of the north country quits frequently by air when their con- dition has been discovered. each year the ”Howe" brings several persons south for treatment. Twelve such patients were brought to Quebec on this recent trip.

The medical doctors who went north with the ship were gratified to see the great improvement in the health of the Eskimos during the last three years in which they have been making a regular check-

up.

Captain Paul M. Fournier, who was accompanied by Mrs. Fournier on the ship from Quebec. is no stranger to Charlottetown. having sailed out of this port as Chief
