There's no better breed anywhere." He admitted this could be the “knockout blow” but added: “I can‘t see in this day and age any government allowing a town of 7,000 to become a ghost town." Help for the stricken citizens came from many parts of Can- ada. The Nova Scotia government set up a special disaster head- quarters. Offers of aid came from other provinces. ‘ Queen Elizabeth sent a mes- sage to Governor—General Massey expressing her concern and ask- ing to be kept informed of devel- opments. “SHOCKED AND SADDENED” Prime Minister Diefen’oaker offered federal aid in a telegram to Mayor Gilmy in which be said: “Please advise me at once if we can give any assistance in the work of rescue or in medical and other services. “The people of Canada are shocked and saddened by the news of the terrible tragedy which has struck again in Spring- hill.” A message of sympathy was wired by President Claude Jodoin of the 1,000,000memlwr Canadian Labor Congress. Bumps, or upheavals, are a common occurrente here because of the great depth of mines and the nature of the strata. Usually they cause only minor falls of rock and coal. This time the shock was felt thmughout the town and for miles around. “Every house in tow‘n shoo ," one housewife said. Dishes tumb- led from shelves and towntfqlk poured into the streets, aware something serious had happened. There was some hysteria when the crowd first gathered at the pithead. Several women col- lapsed. Friday the scene was quiet. Conversation was hushed except for the shouts of mine of- ficials and the sobs of a few women. Among survivors were Hemy Dykens and his rescuer, 44-year- old Jim McManaman, who dug their way out of the rubble With bare hands.

A And Que. Held Up By Gov’t. OTTAWA (CP) —— Phone rate boosts within Ontario and Quebec were held up Friday by the fed- eral cabinet pending hearing of appeals against them. . The increases averaging five per cent on local and long dis- tance services were to have gone into effect Nov. l. The cabinet suspended them for a month from that date. Prime Minister Diefenbaker’s announcement of the suspension-— second such action by the cabinet against a Bell raise this year—- shut the company off. at least temporarily, from some $17,000.- 000 a year in proposed new reve- one. To CONSIDER APPEALS The prime minister said the cabinet action was taken “to make it possible for the govern- ment to consider the appeals that have been made against the in- creases." The appeals have been entered by eight provinces—all except On. tario and Quebec—27 municipali- ties in the two affected "'ovinces and the Union of British Colum- bia Municipalities. There was no indication as to when the case would be heard by cabinet. say if I'll go back. Claire will have a lot to say." Tough miners who faced death choked back tears as they told of their experience and of others, still trapped below. Don Ferguson, 45-year - old father of three, was bruised and cut by the bump. “This is my last shift. This was the worst thing I’ve been in. An- other miner helped me out. We had to look for air. We found it and stayed until we were res. cued.” Bob Jewkes, who scrambled from the 13,800-foot level, was dazed and almost unable to speak coherently. “All the mine roofs were falling in,” he said. His brothers Billy and Doug were still trapped. Gary Embree. Whose father Buck is among the missmg. said: "I only hope after this they close the mine for good, .even if it means the end of Spring-hill.’ For Frank Hunter, another miner, it may have been a case of luck running out.

B.(‘. 5,, .,{ m.» is trapped ere come Mr. liiefenbaker is leaving or ta‘wa Tuesday on a round—the- world tour and is not due back until Dec. 20. Whether the re- maining .members of the cabinet would reach a firm decision in his absence was questionable. The increases granted by the transport board Oct. 10 would have authorized Bell to make boosts of varying sizes, averag- ing out to five per cent of its gross revenue. The last previous increase granted by the board, in Decem- her, 1957, was first suspended by the cabinet and then rescinded by it in April because the minis- ters disapproved of the com- pany‘s income taxation setup on which the transport commission- ers granted the increase. For the current case, the com- pany took a new tack in the com- plicated income tax setup. Basi- cally. it decided to pay more fed- eral income tax now than it has to, charging this up to current users, as a hedge against possible higher taxes in the future. Those appealing protested this on the ground that the company now should take everything it legally is entitled ‘to in taxation savings. Such savings, they said, should go to current subscribers. New Branch Of Retarded In Montague MONTAGUE —— At a well at- tended meeting held on Thurs- day evening at the office of Miss Charlotte Gordon, Montague, a branch of the association for re- tarded children was formed.

The month's deficit compared with a surplus of $6,700,000 in September last year. For the first half of the current fiscal year ending next April 1 the deficit stood at $82,400,000 compared with a surplus of 0231.- 500,000 a year previous, the fi- nance department reported Fri- day night. Revenues ln September dropped to 5350,40000 from $676,700,000 last year, trimming the April- September six - month total to 52.1561100000 from $2,476,100,0m. Liguroian Cred The 23rd annual meeting of the Ligmirian Credit Union Limited was held at the Community Cen- tresson Thursday, October 23rd, 19 . The Report of the Board of Dir- ectors was given by the Presl- dent, Mr. Thomas McAvinn. In Mr. McAvinn's report attention was drawn to several important matters, one of which is the pro- posal by the P. E. 1. Credit Union League to establish a Stabilization or Mutual Aid Fund for Islarnd credit unions. This addition to credit union services would increase greatly the protection already afforded the individual shareholder and de- positor. If such a plan were ac- would mean that a credit union member‘s savings would never be in jeopardy, be- cause of the failure of his credit union. Another item in this report was the recommendation of the Dir- ectors that a three per cent divi- Expenditures in the month rose to 3448,8000“) from $370,000,0, boosting the six-month total to $2239.21”. just slightly below the $2.244,600,000 of last year. MORE FOR EFENCE In addition to this, some $112,- 300,000 came out of a special de- fence pot to add to budgetary de- fence expenditures for the last six months This reflects the gov- ernment‘s decision to liquidate a special $165,000,000 defence equip- ment account which does not form part of the regular budget. To add to the government's de ficit woes were rising deficits in the old age pension fund, set up to distribute the universal $55-8- month pension to those 70 years and over. it Union Ltd.
