lo Replace Lancasters

With liristol

o'f'rAWA. (OP) - Canada has decided to replace its RCAP Marl- tlma Liincasters with the modern United Kingdom Bristol Britannia. aircraft, informed sources disclos- ed Thursday.

Plans for the new type of air- ci-aft-a sleek four-engine, propel- lor-and-gas-turbins -- will be ob- tained from the U. K. The con- struction will be carried out at the canadair Ltd. plant at Montreal.

In all likelihood the gas turbine engines will be purchased in Brit- ain, though the final decision on this point has not yet been made.

informants said that about 50 of the aircraft will be constructed at canadair which currently is pro- ducing the F-88 Sabre let fighter.

Final Choice

The quqestion of finding a re- placement for the Second World War Lancaster has been under gov- ernment consideration for months. Designs for about a half-dozen planes were submitted. The Bris- tol Britannia was the final choice.

The British model likely will un- dergo some modification to make it conform with Canadian require- ments, informants said.

The Lancasters, built as a bom- ber, have been used for RCAF Maritime search-and-rescue oper- ations, coastal patrol and general transport work.

The cruising speed of the Brit- annia is understood to be about 360 miles an hour. It is reported to be one of the most economical planes in service.

U. K. labor Party lleialns Seal

LONDON, (Reuters) - The Labor party Thursday retained the par- liamentary seat of North Padding- ton. London. in a by-election, but with a sn:.allel' majority than it obtained in the 1951 general elec- tlon.

Benjamin Parkin. Labor, polled 14,274 votes to 12.014 for John Eden, nephew of Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden. The Trotskyite can- didate, bus-driver William Water, received only 242 votes.

The percentage of the total vote obtained by the Labor party Thurs- day was 53.8. compared with 55.7 in 1951, when there was a straight two-party fight for the seat.

Crate of Spies For Senator McCarthy

WASHINGTON. (AP) -Senator Joseph Mooarthy Thursday re- ceived a. gl-ft of a crate of cans- dian apples-of the Northern Spy variety-with a note attached which read:

"l-Iere's something you and your committee can get your teeth into. The woods up here are full of them. It was signed "News staff of the Toronto Globe and Mail".

Mocai-thy posed for photograph- ers as the box was opened and he said he was grateful for the gift.

-Work which has been in progress at the Sunimerslde ol- fice of the P. E. 1. Telephone

Company since the first of July of this year to install equipment for the speeding up of long dis- tance calls between Summerslde and Charlottetown has now been completed and the installation of the complicated equipment now makes it possible for the oper- ator in Summerside to dial dir- ect the required number in Char-

lottetown, without putting the call through the Charlottetown operator. This will mean. not

only a great speeding up of the service to the general public. but also to the users of telelype service in this Province.

Three different types staliation have been in progress for the past month. the first. known as ZVF dialing, and con- sisting of ten 2-way dial trunks into Charlottetown. which will enable the Summerslde operator to dial direct into a Charlotte- town subscriber without contact- ing the operator there.

Vote With

Social Credit

Commonilefeai Non-Confidence Motion 193-25

OTTAWA. tCP) - Eleven Pro- gresslve Conservative members voted with social Credit late Thursday as the Liberals. other Progressive Conservatives and the CC? defeated, 193 to 25. a Social

Credit non-confidence motion in the government. Progressive Conservatives sup-

porting the Social Credit motion were John Dlefenbaker, Prince Albert; C. W. I-Iodgson, Victoria. Ont.; Thomas M. Bell, St. John- Albert: Harry 0. White. Middle- sex East: R. H. McGregor. York East; Michael Starr, Ontario; An- drew E. Robinson, Bruce; John A. Charlton, Brant-I-Ialdimand: C. D. Coyle, Elgin: J. Waldo Mon- telth, Perth; J. H. Ferguson. Sim- coe North.

The three independent members of the Commons supported the government.

The Social Credit motion was in the form of an amendment to the main Progressive Conservative non-confidence motion. A vote on the Progressive Conservative mo- tlon was expected later.

The Social Credit motion urged the government to accept payment in sterling for Canadian exports. It. also said the welfare of Can- ada is dependent on private en- terprise rather than free competi- tlon.

Opposition leader Drew said that in their accepted meanings there was no difference in free compe- tltlcn as outlined in the Progres- sive Conservative motion. and pri- vate enterprise.

While the Progressive Conserv- atives had for years urged gov- ernment action on convertibility of sterling, the Social Credit pro- posal for acceptance of sterling was not defined. There was a great deal of diffarence.,betweon making arrangements for sterling convertibility and an open-end deal which apparently could not be accepted by Britain.

will be effective only in this Province. but Mr. E. G. Cameron. plant superintendent of the 15- alnd Telephone Company, said last night that later on it will expand into points in Nova Scotla and New Brunswick. He said the primary object of the installation was to speed up the service to the subscribers. He pointed out that since it is not necessary to

contact the Charlottetown oper- ator, the call is, like 'a local call, almost instantaneous. He said

that there would be no decrease in operational staff due to the new system, and indicated that previous to this installation in Summerslde office, there had been a one-way service, but now the Summeralds operator may dial is Charlottetown subscriber direct. in the same way that the Charlottetown operator may dial a Summerslde subscriber direct. Before long, he said. this toll dialing will be general. but for the present was not prepared to say just how long it would be before we will be able to dial

One Fisherman Drowned; General Damage Small

HALIFAX, (OP)-Gales whipped the Atlantic coast for the second day Thursday. Onshore the wind churned up an angry sea that battered shipping from the Bay of Fundy to Cabot Strait.

One fisherman was drowned, small craft were washed ashore, one fishing vemel was missing for a time and passenger liners and freighters were stopped in their tracks. ” ” '

Winds reached 75 miles an hour at the storms peak, but. began to taper of! Thursday afternoon.

The 19,600-ion liner Empress of Australia finally reached Saint John, N. B.. with 531 groggy trans-Atlantic passengers. she have to Wednesday about 100 miles east of Sable Island waiting for the blow to pass.

Four freighter-s were stalled of! Halifax harbor for more than a day. One flnauy reached port Thursday afternoon. The others were not expected before Friday morning.

Fisherman Drowned

The body of lobster fisherman Rennie Cottreau. 59, was washed ashore at Sand Beach near Yar- mouth, N. S. He drowned when the wind upset a skiff near the mouth of Yarmouth harbor

His fishing mate. Bruce Galla- gher, managed to swim to safety.

Off the southwestern tip of Nova Scotla. RCAF search planes looked for the Lockeport, N. 5., fishing vessel Sister M. Antonio, unreported since Tuesday. Three men BlbOBf'd the 60-foot craft left port with only three days' provis- ions.

The crippled shlp was found late in the day and an RCMP cutter left Halifax to give assistance.

The liner Olympia clocked at Halifax late but undamaged. She was slowed to a speed of five knots on the trip from New York.

Damage Not. Extensive

Hundreds of western Nova sco- tia. lobster men sighed with relief when the storm subsided. Damage to their fishing gear was still un- checked but was not believed ex- tenslve, except in it few localities.

The northerly wind direction left most of the south coast fish- ing ooves in the lee of the gale.

On land the storm brought it deluge of rain that flooded base- manta i.n cities and towns. south- ern New Brunswick and part of Prince Edward Island got sticky snow. which slowed up highway traffic in some districts.

LONDON. (Cl?) -Tomunotanye and Wariboko Davies.three-month- old Siamese twin girls from Nlg. aria, were separated by surgery in a London hospital Thursday but To-munotanye died three home later.

I-fer curly - haired sister. sleep- ing peacefully in a specially-de- signed oxygen tent. was described by Dr. Ian Aird, who performed the surgery, as "ln excellent con- dition-qulte. as well as any baby could be after an operation of that inagiiitude."

But, he added. "the baby who was lost was equally well before her sudden collapse."

Commenting on her chances for survival. Dr. Aird said:

"so ,few ,babi,eHa, "have survived "when 'aepai'ate-d from a twin state as severe as this that we do not know how they l'cnCl'. to separa- tion. We can only guess the enm- Iplicstions which might occur, against which the surviving baby must be safeguarded."

The Negro twins had been joined across their abdomen: and cheats.

Moth:-r Prayer!

The parents are Victor Davies. :4 Bantu clerk. and his wife Veronica. a sales asslstantfln It stars of Kano, Nigeria. The 24 - year - old mother kissed the chihfren before they went under the anaesthetic at Hammersmith Hospital, and lmrlt ln prayer in a white-walled mcsr. as surgeons went to work.

The parents decided to let the children be flown to London Nov 13 after Nigerian surgeons said surgery was their only hope of survival.

The most recent successful sep- aration of Siamese twins occurred in the United States. Eight-week- olcl daughters of Mayor and Mrs. Ashton J. Mouton of Lafayette. La.. joined near the base of the spine. were cut apart in New or!- eans Sept. 17. Both the twins. Car- olyn Anne and Catherine Anne. are thriving. o

In Edmonton in 1950. an open- tion was performed to separate Brenda and Beverley Townsend, joined at the abdomen. They sur- vived only a few minutes.
