PRESTONSBURG, Ky. (AP) A loaded school bus _hit a wrecker and an automobile on a lonely mountain road Friday and dropped into a rain-swollen river, apparently carrying 23 children and the driver to their deaths. .
Sixteen others, some “pushing, shoving and screaming,” fled through an emergency door and windows before the bus sank into 30 feet of water three miles from here. _
The National Safety Council called it the worst highway ac cident involving children in United States history. ’
{Eight hours after the accident, red-eyed parents and relatives still lined banks- of the Levisa fork of the Big Sandy River, waiting for rescuers to find some trace of the vehicle. , Before starting down ‘an in- cline, the bus stopped to pick up. nine students at a wooden sus- pension bridge, just 200 feet from the accident scene. » E State police said the nine were among those listed as miss- ing andpresumed to have been drowned.
One survivor, 15-year-old Da- vid Wright, was sitting by a win- dow when the bus went into the water. . - “I managed to roll it down and crawl out,” he said. “I pulled
.two other girls out with men",
Wright said he believes a boy named William Leedy, 15, was the one who managedto open the emergency door.
Donald. L. Horn, driver of the wrecker, said he answered a. call to pull a truck out of a ditch about three miles from here.
“I was trying to pull it across the‘ ii i g hw a y," be recalled, “when the bus rounded a curve and struck my wrecker from the rear.” _ Horn said\ the bus then veered into a parked car and

WILTON GARDINER.‘
‘On the’-evening of December fourteeneth the community of L0- wer Freetown was shocked and saddened by the sudden and trag- ic accident that claimed the life of Arthur Wilton Gardiner at the’ early age of fifteen years. Wilton was a bright attractive lad, of a cheerful friendly disposition, a’ fa- vourite with all the neighbours and especially those of his own age group. ‘
He was active in all youth or- ganizations within the commun- ity, and a faithful member of the Freetown United Church Sunday school, having, received a prize for attendance on _the last r-ally day Sunday. In the young peo- ples organization he took an ac- tive part and was on hand from week to week, being trained for Christian living in his commun- Wilt on was" an enthusiast- ic ‘member of the Freetown 4-H Calf Club and was taking a spe- cial interest in the showing and development of good livestock on his -father's farm. ' '
Besides his sorrowing parents,‘ Mr. and Mrs. Camden Gardiner,- he leaves to mourn one sister Car- la, aged eleven years: an uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Prowse — Gardiner and their only daughter Arline, who are all residing on the Gardiner homestead. Also left to mourn are many relatives and friends, as wellas his two grand- mothers, Mrs. Maisie, Gardiner who at the time of the accident was visiting her daughter Mar- jorie in Golden, B.C. and Mrs. Harriet Ciiossman, of Central Be- deque. ‘
‘ The funeral was very largely attended, and was a wonderful demonstration of the deep sym- pathy and concern felt by the whole countryside for the be- reaved parents and relatives. The service at t‘h&’.h0I'I1e was conduct- ed by their pastor, Rev. S. G. Walls. The hymns were “The

Rev. D. R. Morrison, who has been pastor of the Church of the Nazarene in Summerside for the past seven years, has resigned his.pastorate to accept a call to London, Ont. His resignation has been accepted with regret by his congregation in Sumrneci-side and vicinity. .
Rev. Joseph Williamson of Kansas City, a son of one of the general superintendents of the church, Dr. G. B. Williiamson, will succeed Mr. Morrison. Since assuming the Summer- side p a s t o r a t e, ‘tremendous growth has taken place. Wllh church membership‘ increased six-fold and Sunday school en- rollment advanced from 12 to the present 146. Needed imP1‘°.V°' ments were alsomade to church property, _including a basement for Sunday school rooms. and the extension to the rear of the church building. As well, the

Veteran parliamentarian Stan- ley Knowles, CCF deputy leader, and CCF member of Parliament for Winnipeg North Centre for
the past many years, will attend a. nominating convention in Sum- merside next Thursday evening, where he will address a public meeting at 8.00 p .m _
At the convention, preceding the public meeting, a CCF can- didate for Prince County will be nominated, as announced several days ago by the P. E. I. CCF Provincial Council.
Mr. Knowles has been promin-
-the CCF-since its organization 25 years ago, in 1932. Presently, and for many years, he has been recognized as Canada's leading authority on parliamentary rules procedure, and his ability as a parliamentarian is well known and respected by Canadians in every Province.
In this matter it will be recalled that Mr. Knowles declined a written offer from Prime Minis- ,ter Diefenbaker to serve the last Parliament as Speaker of the House of Commons.
A journalist by profession, Mr. Knowles is noted for his attcn. tion to detail in the legislation before Parliament. His knowledge
