inf Iminigratio-it

(By GERALD VVARING)

OTTAWA-When Prime Minis- ter St. Laurent appolntetf Walter Harris as Minister of Inll'nllZTllil0il a year and a half,.aso.,bo.'.h the Government and Parliament were sorely disappointed with the feeble stream of immigrants.

Immigration had reached its post-war peak in ma. when 1'25,- 000 people came to Canada The following year the influx dropped to 95.000. and when Harris took over. the prospect for 1950 was a mere 70,000. 1

Actually the final total last year vtas 74.000-but that was far from satisfactory to a minister who had his sights set at 150,000 a. year, in the belief that Canada should have. in time, a population '0! 30,- 000,000 people.

So with characteristic quiet. de- termination. Harris set to work gearing his new department- uhich had been born of the im- migration branch of the old De- partment of Mines and Resources -to peak efficiency for promoting immigration from Europe.

0 O D

How well he succeeded was ll- lustrated the other day when it was announced that nearly 80,000 immigranta had entered Canadaln the first av: months of this year At that rate. I-larris' objective of 150,000 will be topped without dif- flculty by the end of the year.

This rate of influx wasut ach- ieved without effort. Harr-A ex- panded immigratlon offiets in Europe. until there were is ccv:-.-- lng all of western and northern Europe. At his instance. the Gov- ernment maintained pressure on the British Government to relax its restrictions on the number of dollars which emigrants might lake out of that country. The plan paid off when the British boosted the ceiling of capital export by emigrants to dollar areas.

The Government naturally pre- fera British and French immi- grants, for they fit easily into the ethnic and social patterns of the country. But one of the most dia- maylng aspects of the drop in im- animation was the fact that few new Canadians were coming from France. and the influx from the U. K. was plummeting.

0 0 C

Harri reclassified immigrants from F ance into the same readily admlaaabie category as thou mm the U. K. and the U. 8.. an to encourage Bi-ftlshera to come out. the Government offered to loan British emigrant: meat of the money they needed to pay their passages. it even went at. far an to arrange air passage at surface rates.

A: a result, British emigration to Canada ' f uo per cent, and French emigration is up more than 300 per cent. .

Harris was largely an tiriknowr-, quantity, before . he was named minister of citizenship and immi- gration. He was recotniud an a comer; had served as Parliament- ary aasfatant to Mr. St. Laurent when the latter was Foreign Min- ister. and also after St. Laurent became Prime Miniater. The PM. acknowledged his capabilities II on adminintrator by landing him into the Cabinet to head the new department. ,

In sporadic speculation as to who may be

Miss Ishbel Hutton of Ottawa, fabovei, national President ofegh-3 Catholic Women's League arrived in stimiiicrside by plane on sat- urdity evening to attend the Pro- vincial C.W.L., Convention which opens here this evening. She was met. at the airport by Mrs. James Pendcmtiist. provincial president Mrs. Carrol Delaney, President of Summerside subdivision and Mrs. Leo Wood. Vice-Prcsldeiit.

Greatest Gallteringl Of Scollish Clans

EDINBURGH. Aug. l9 - (Spec- lliil -. Greatest clan gathering in Scotland's history. ends here fodav their the flags and iuarourer of 30 clans disappear from Murrayfield in this capital city.

Hundreds of Canadians. includ- ing: the Arizyli and Sutltcrliind reg-, iinenial pipe and drum band from-. liamiitoii, joined others of Scot- tish descent from all over the vsorld to help make this Scotland's greatest contribtttioii to the Fest- ival of Britain.

Tho, couiitry was divided in its suppe- for Prince Charlie. and the wnrni Hlghlzind blood became so stirred that the mcctitig turned into a bloody fight.

Though fi gtitlioi-iiig the size of, the present one indicated a B101") peaceful trend. there was still en- otttzh friction to enliven proceed- inns.

The big parade of the clans down

Princes Street had to be called off because the clmismen could not agree on the order of the march. The age-old debate on privilege and precedence for a moment tlireatctied to disrupt proceedings but the clans derided instead V nrk off their rivalry on the play- ing fields of Edinburgh. There they tossed the eaber. which is simply seeing hotv'fni' you can throw it small telegraph pole. They il.'sfl wrestled. which could be de- scribed as seeing how far you can throw a Scot. - Chiefs of the Scottish clans were divided in their opinion whether they should parade their kitted. knobby knees bcfore "overseas vis- itors.” The dispute petcred out t--hen it was learned that many of the Americans would arrive in kllis. bejeweled dirks and buckled shoes. looking like a dress rehear- sal for the production of "Briga- doon."

Clans participating at Murray- fleld are: Cameron. Campbell. Chaftan. Chisholm, Donald, Dav- idson. Donnachaidii. Farquharson, Gordon, Grant, Hay, Lamont Mac- Bean, Maccillivray. Mackay, Mac- Kinnon. Mackintosh. Mitclean. Mac- Leod, Mncllab. Macnell, Macpher- son, MacRat-, Macqueen. Morrison, Munro. Rose. Roar. Shaw. and Sinclair.

Christmas Parcels Go Early To North

LONDON. Aug. 19 -- (CPI - It may be A long time until Christmas but crates loaded with gifts from Britain are already on their way to the children of northern New- fcundlaiici and Labrador.

The presents. mainly from Sun- day.sch'ioi children in the United Kingdom, are being shipped early to reach the northern areas before winter lee-packs close in. Shortly before Christmas the gifts will be hauled by dog teams for distribu- tion at distant settlements.

Mayotttirrie-s Oul Parachute lump lnlolake

MAGOG. Que. Aug. l9 .- (CF) 'v Seeking publicity for his East- cin Townships "pearl" town. Mayor Ernest slmard today parachuted from a plane into Lake Memphre-

magog. This was the first parachute jump for the non - swimming llllIVOi'.

He llfhded two minutes after l:-oping from the plane and motor boats went to pick him tip. Near- ing share. the 43-year-oldislmard stood up in the be t and held his it-ands.over his he as a sign of victory. some l0,00ll onlookers cheered him loudly.

The Mayor planned the Jump as it. "preview of Magog's centennial celebrations" which will open of- ficially next Sunday.

Mayor Sfmard said he "just lov- ed the whole thing."

"I was not scared at all. Lots of people jump by parachute, so why shouldn't I."

The minute he landed, his wife and six children all hugged him at length. Wearing a life jacket and some old clothes that dripped with water. the Mayor picked up his five-year-old daughter Denise and curled her to where newspap- er men stand.

"I'm ready to do it all over again if another opportunity arises." he said.

The three-minute. descent from 2.500 feet was "fun" to the. pub- licity-cansclotia man. Despite I heart ailment. he said he felt nothing at all. "I waved to the people who lined the shore."

He said he got scared only when he saw he was being carried bv the wind to it small island. He landed I00 feet from the rocky spot and went under about 10 feet.

A Sherbrooke flying club pilot. Jacques Goderre. made the jump before the Mayor. He came down at 5:03 P.M.. E.D.T.. and the Mayor followed is ' ' later.

The Mayor received special bless- lnga from two parish priest: - O. lei and Roch Poltraa earlier and a priest and an ambulance stood on the shore.

Eight at. Johns Ambulance em- crgency men were kept busy reviv- ing fainting people. An unidenti- fled boy fractured his collarbone in it fall while trying to get a bet- ter look at the parachuting Mayor.

The cooperation of the summer- aide Fire Department and the hard work of a. group or neighbor: saved a large barn owned by Mr. Erries: Callbeck, Linklettar Road from destruction efter it had been struck

evening. A ,member of the bucket brigade, Mr. Earl Cole. was over- come by smoke in the loft and was taken to the Prince County Hos- pital where he was reported as resting comfortably last evening.

The lightning struck the peak of the building at one end and followed down to the floor where it set fire to a. quantity of straw. A few boards and shingles were dislodged by the bolt but if was a few minutes before it was noted that I fire had been ate-rted The same bolt blew out a transformer on the electric line causing the lights to go out.

When it was noted that the straw was on fire a call was sent in

ment which sent a pumper. A bucket brigade was hastily organ- ized and it took the combined ef- frrta of all concerned till after midnight before it was considered that the building was safe.

It was necessary to remove the straw and ten tons of it was fork- ed from the building. The other end of the barn was filled with hay but it was not damaged. The fight against the stubborn blaze was a splendid example of coop- eration on the part of about too people including many boys and girls who worked hard in various capacities to save the building.

The same bolt of lightning ap- parently struck the driver of a truck that was passing at the time but his name is not known. On the previous evening. Mr. Callbeckts son. Marshall, was injured when thrown by a cow and he is a pa- tient in the hospital suffering from bruises and shock. - E

There were many anxious mo- ments for business houses and homes on nearby blocks as the racing flames for a time threat- ened to leapfrog over Kent Street ond set in flames the block to the north.

Weary firemen got relief whrn hot coffee and them by Milton's Old Spain.

Rain Helps

But their biggest relief came from the heavy rain which start- ed shortly after two o'clock. A slight drizzle at first promise-n little help. but suddenly a for. renliai downpour came to aid in quenching the flames. An almos. total lack of wind made it easier for the firemen to keep the fir.- under control. Had there heen a high wind blowing it, is entirely possible that a large part of the city might have been consumedl

in what. easily could have be- come the worst fire in the his- tory of the Province.

All along Kent Street most of the busineso houses were rapidly emptied as the blaze appeared to be getting out of hand. Stocks of good: were removed as pro- prietors and clerks worked in semi-darkness as the power was shut off all over the area. It was off for nearly two hour: over a wide section of the city.

Small Buildings bout

Many smaller buildings in the block were badly acorched and for a time it appeared as if the whole area was doomed. The new Mccannell Building ho'sing the Yellow Cab tnxl stand and other establishments on Great George Street were threatened an sparks landed on the roof. Mr. McCain- nell stuffed an old mattress into the drain on the roof and flood- ed the top of the building an the r in came. His action sueceufut ly prevented the fire from net- ting a start.

All around the neighborhood reridentl were frantically soaking their garages and home: with garden hose while friends helper! carry furniture and other poa-

aeaaionk to the aafety of other nearby places. Firemen were concentrating

much of their effort: on atopping the fire from reaching Zlo- Church. on the corner of Graf- ton and Prince Streets. the larg eat and most valuable building in the threatened area. To this end they kept a steady atream of water on the building housing the Gloria and Adeilals Mlllinery which acted as a buffer between the big blaze and the church.

Several amall buildings in the heart of the block caught ani many of them were lost. Many of them. used as garage: or storage: were aaved by the action of the ownera in soaking them with water.

Tons of Water

Nearly one million gallons 3! water were pumped into the rag lug inferno as firemen pourred '1.- 500 irallona a minute from the Olluinment.

Ofty.Police ordered all children from the area an it was feared there would be several axploaloua ll drums of gasoline and all were stored in the burning buildinan Felr was felt for a tirne that "a-H8 tune of If.
