lng four trips daily, and after the line-up of waiting vehicles is cleaned up this morning every automobile or truck endeavoring to obtain passage must. produce a permit signed by the Emergency Controller.

In the line-up yesterday were cars from various sections of the United states and Canada. Nova. Scotia licenses were more promin- ent than any other Canadian ..-nes. but American licenses came from as far as Michigan. Ohio. Massa- chussctts, New ampshire. New York, Louiaianna, nine. an.l West Virginia.

Last evening a truck which had endeavored to obtain pauage un- der false pretenses the day before was still in the line-up. at the far end. On Thursday the driver had claimed that he was carrvlrig a shipment of live ' batefs which he had brought from West. Point and was given priority. Before he got 0910 3118 lefty hcwev . it was noticed that his truck apearen to be riding high'for such a load. out investigation was started by the R. C. M. P. E

At Bottom" Of Clan

The driver could not produce is key to the rear door of the closed vehicle. and so the padlock was broken off and an empty interior revealed. Wrath of the, passengers who had been waiting in their cars for hours was high. but the situ- ation was smoothed over. No one aufferod except the truck driver who finds himself being moved continuously to the end of the line

Road blocks were moved yester- day noon to include all cars in the line-up. and it is these cars which will be cleaned up by ll o'clcc'.: this morning. At 5 p. m. yesterday the line-up numbered 97 cars and 1 empty trucks.

To make the long wait a little easier for everyone. the R. C. M. P. cooperated with civilian officials

, and iaaued nuinlrra so that people.

especially those with small young- atera were able to leave the line- up. Thalr numbers ensured them of receiving the same place in the llne when they returned. Every- thing poaaible was being done to ease the situation and brake the tiresome hours of waiting pass more pleasantly.

A Few Grouaera

Although almost everyone in the line-up understood the situation. and accepted their predicament in load spirits, there was the occas- ional person who either could not. or would not .uni-lcratand. one of than was 0. lady from Ohio Wh) apparfontly blamed thacntira attu- ation on the officials who were try- ing to help her. She declared quite loudly that never again would an Ohio car visit. this Province. and the humorous aide was seen when the very first car to land from the next ferry from Caribou bore, a licence from her home state.

The Red cross was on hand yea- torday diapcnsing sandwiches and drinks. and many private individ- uals crrlcd wash tuba.of cold drinks to and fro along the line-up of cars. . ,
