160 Veterans Take Courses At Local Vocational School

The making available the Vo- cational Training School for civ- liiaii technical training is contin- gent upon its disuse as straining school for veterans, Mr. L. W. Shaw, director of education, told the Guardian last night.

Mr. Shaw said it was impossible to state when the institution would be available for the exclus- ive use of civilians but gave it as his opinion that practically all veterans desiring to make use of the school, would have their cour-

At present approximately 160 veterans are taking vocational training at the school. The courses, under the general supervision of Mr. Ted Chandler, comprise car- pentry. electrical construction, pipe fitting. sheet metal work. and brick laying.

Sir Stafford said the preferences system is not being discarded, although the Inter,- national Trade organization may bring "some reduction and elim- flat-ion" in return for access t0 other markets.

He asked for unity in the battle for economic recovery and in- dependence.

A resume of the decisions reach- ed by the Government showed:

The meat ration will remain at its present level of one shlllingb (20 cents) worth a week.

Raw-material imports from dol- lar areas will be cut by another £5,000,000.

By a more rigid licensing of manufactured goods imported from the U. 5.. including machinery. a further 210,000,000 will be saved-

A saving of 210,000,000 ls anti- cipated from cuts in Government overseas expenditure.

Food cuts. "although highly un- pleasant," should save 106.000.0110 in dollar expenditure.

calling for a reduction in pro- duction costs and an increase in output of from 10 to l0 per cent, Sir Stafford said "than are still restrictions in industry which are popitively inlmicable to our aco- nomlc survival. It is essential that they should be done away with."

Almost all of the 1.500 personnel at Dow Field, Air Force fighter base at Bangor joined in rescue work,_ taking many refugees to Ellsworth in motor convoys.

Eden Street. site of some of Bar Barber's more pretentious homes, was burning in places.

Some of the country's weal- thiest families, including the Rockefeller: and Fords, have estates on Mt. Desert Island. but there was no word con- cerning their status.

Meanwhile a fleet of 10 large Navy and Coast Guard craft sped toward the island. The first craft —-the cutters Laurel and Snohom- ish-were due at midnight,

Fleeing residents of the villages 0f Brownfield and East Brownfield, Maine, reported that fires had virtually destroyed two communi- ties from which 600 persons were evacuated. Thev Portland Press- Herald said the town of Newlield, York County, Me., was “burned flat." It has 500 population.

Feel Heat at 6.000 Feet

Milton Smith, Portland Airport manager, reported after an aerial flight from Brownfield south to Blddeford that heat from the blazing countryside was intense at. 6.000-feet altitude.

One million feet of llunher owned by the Diamond Match Company at Brownfield was oflre. A “‘ lumber concern

was burning at Waterford.

Bldde-ford, an industrial centre of Southwestern Maine, was ring- ed by fires. Earlier about 50 pa- tlents of Trull Hospital there were evacuated as a precautionary meas- ure before the blaze was brought under control. The fire was halt- ed 200 yards from another Bidde- ford hospital, the Wehber.

In a score of other communities in Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts, thousands of fire- fighters, National Guardsmen and volunteer workers were striving to control blazes.

In North Reading, Mass, a fire which brought evacuation of the state tuberculosis sailitarium was turned back.

The prospect of another sunny oay brought added concern for such towns as Hiram, Kcrzar Falls and Porter in Maine. directly in the path of the Brownfield fire. and to metropolitan Portland to- ward which fires crept closer.

INCREASE SHOWN

(Continued from Page 1)

crease in potato shipments from 189 cars in Seratember, 1046, to 110 cars last month is not wholly t-x- plalned by the llil-per-cellt crop this year, as compared to that of 1946, nor by ilhe tight situation with respect to box and refrigerat- or cars. for, so far, the Canadian National Railways has been able to meet ell reasonable tiemands for cars. It may be that the dealers’ requests to the potato growers not to "press" a steady market is par- tiolly responsible for the decline.

One hundred and twenty-seven cars of gravel-there was none shipped ln September of 1046- went to the mainland last . month for use in building tlhe new piers at ‘ronnentine.

Fivo cars of butter and cheese were shipped last month as crin- pared to two in Septrilniber of last. year. That situation was exactly reversed with respect to blueberries -two cars shipped last month as compared to five in Septem-iier. 1946.
