There was never any doubt anywhere as to the high integrity of their motives or the sincerity of their tatements. They made few for- mal speeches. but when they did speak. they were listened to with deep interest and close atten- tlon. "They were scrupulously faith- ful to their parliamentary duties. and even during busy sessions. found time to keep in close touch with those whom they rep- resented here.

Opposition Leader Drew told the House: "Both of these members were from Prince Edward island and in that fact is to be seen the evidence of the continuing con- tribution made to the whole Do- minion of Canada by that Island which is so proud of its history and its Disco in our country. "Mr. Douglas was always gen- erous and friendly. not only to those of his own political party but of other political parties. it seemed to me that both of these gentlemen showed that measure of understanding friendship which after all is the basis of the free- dom In which we exist."

Origin of the outbreak was not determined. some said it appear- ed to start between the first and second floors while others stated it seemed to come up from the basement. Discover outbreak The outbreak was first discov- cred by the Gallants who i woke the others. Mrs. Maccormack stated that she learned of the fire when she heard some one inside and shouting ”There's a fire between the floors." The explosion occurred about 15 minutes after the fire started. Eye witnesses claimed it appear- ed to blow out the bottom of the building. It roused one occupant of the Queen Hotel more than I block away. Cst.

Firemen Wage Tough Battle Citv firemen arrived on the scene shortly after the outbreak. They fought desperately in the cold to keep the blaze from doing further damage. Relays of firemen climbed to the rcoftop of an adjoining build- ing to more effectively throw water onto the bl..;e. All of them were covered from head to foot with ice as the water froze onto their hats and coats. A number of girls in the L.P.U. Hall across the street supplied them with hot coffee at intervals. -.

This. he told Canada's first civil defence staff forum. is "a new concept for Canada" and one which should govei-n,ali new con- struction of fire and police stat- ions, hospitals, telephone ex- changes and other key buildings. He indicated official belief that Russia now is capable of making one-way bombing attacks on North America with atom bombs, incendiarles. bacterial and us bombs. In the face of this threat, Can- ada must govern herself by fact that no system of defence yet devised can make North America impregnable. he said. His advice was that Ill-out saturation raids It this stage are not likely. but that air attacks which could cause serious conse- quences in casualties and interfer- ence with civilian production was a real probability.
