The other ee winter elections occurred before the turn of the century. For what it's worth, on each of 9 four occasions the govern- ment of the day was returned to power. FIVE JUNE ELECTIONS Since selection of the voting 3 most times has been a mat- ~of government choice instead of necessity, most of the elec- tions have fallen in June or in the autumn. . Five national elect-ions have been in June. Eight have oc- curred during the‘. three autumn months since the practice was adopted of having everyone vote ' on a single day. It is a little- known fact that the first two elections a f t e r Confederation were spread over several weeks: The 1867 one from Aug. 7 to Sept. 20, and the one in 1872 from July m to Oct. 12. Two election days, in 1917 and 1921, fell in December. But they did not involve the same rigors experienced ahead of the four mid - winter votes because most of the actual campaigning was done before really cold weather set in. Two months have never been chosen for a voting day:- April and May. The probable reason is that such dates would involve campaigning which would con- flict with the Easter season.

The new chief justice, who re- signed Friday as provincial treas- urer, will serve as head of the Ontario Court of Appeal. A native of Toronto, the 57- year-old chief justice was a mem- ber of the Ontario legislature since 1943. The other appointments in- cluded that of Lt.-Col.

Construction will begin im- mediately so as to provide win- ter employment for construction workers, and while the first units will be ready for oc- cupancy by early summer, the entire project will take about a year and a half to complete. These buildings will be structed on the Camp Gage- town married quarters site.

Prime M i n i s ter Diefenbaker made the announcement in the Commons following a sudden flight to Quebec City where Gov- ernor - General Massey consented to dissolution of the 23rd parlia- ment. At the end of a dramatic 10- minute statement, repeatedly pro- tested by the Opposition, he de- clared: “This Parliament now is dissolved." Speaker Roland Michener said: ‘This House of Commons has no further existence.” He left his chair. The time was 6:11 p.m. Expect Yemen To Join New Arab Republic CAIRO (AP) — An Egyptian spokesman said Sunday the King- dom of.

NEED DIRECT MANDATE To be effective, a government needed “a direct and unquestioned mandate from the people.” It was the end of a Parliament elected last June 10. It plunged the country into the fifth mid- winter election campaign since Confederation. “The campaign starts tonight,” Mr. Diefenbaker said later Satur- day night at a banquet of exultant Young Progressive Conservatives ending their national meeting. The 60-year-old prime minis r will fly to Newfoundland this we k twice in-the campaign. Plans of other party leaders were not known. Mr. Pearson will hold a press conference today.

Aircraft lands Safely Despite Trouble LONDON (AP) -— A Canadian airliner carrying 64 passengers limped into London Airport amid a ground alert Sunday night after a transatlantic "oyage dogged by engine trouble. The Trans-Canada Air Lines Super Constellation ran into en- gine trouble shortly after taking off from Toronto. The pilot had to jettison thousands of gallons of fuel before flying into Montreal but made it without mishap. Then as the plane nosed out over the Atlantic the pilot found he had to cut out one of its four engines. It was decided to bypass the scheduled stop at Prestwick, Scotland, and head straight for London Airport where fire trucks and ambulances were called out to stand by. The plane came in safely on three engines. Scotland - bound passengers were sent north on another flight. 48 Killed When Planes Plunge Into Los Angeles NORWALK, Calif. (AP)—Two big military planes collided in flight Saturday night and plunged in flames into a thickly populated Los Angeles suburb, killing 48 persons. Forty—one of the victims were aboard a huge -transport, six aboard a navy patrol bomber. One was a housewife blocks from the crash who was decapitated by flying wreckage. Two navy airmen were saved. The planes collided in clear. starlit skies some 2,500 feet above Norwalk, a community of 69,000, 20 miles southeast of Los Angeles. V The Military Air Transport Service plane plunged in flames, scattering bits of wreckage over a five-block area before breaking up over one of the heaviest trav- elled highways in the city. The tail section tore into a service station and the fuselage plowed into the rear yard of the sheriff’s station. CRASHED IN OPEN The bomber wobbled along for another few miles before crash- ing in open land in the nearby community of Santa Fe Springs. The housewife killed by flying wreckage was Mrs. Edith Hern- andez, 23. She was decapitated when she ran outside to see what had happened. The transport had taken off from Long Beach municipal air- port for Wright Patterson air force base, Dayton, Ohio, The navy crai manned by reserv- ists, was on a training flight. The collision was widely ob- served by persons outdoors scan- ning the skies for the new United States satellite which was due to pass by at almost the moment of the collision. TANK BL(" The crashing transport turned the sheriff’s station yard into an inferno, exploding a 2,000 gallon gasoline storage tank under- ground. “I thought the Russians had bombed us for sure,” said Sheriffs Lieut. Rudy N. \Vigr;lns, in the sub—s-tation along with 29 other officers r d 25 prisoners The sheriff's garage was wrecked and 13 cars were de- strayed. Wreckage set a house afire across the street. The navy plane plowed into the bank of an abandoned clay pit. One of the survivors was found 150 feet away. '.‘his crash‘ scene was in the midst of a forest of oil well derricks. Rescue workers labored in the eerie glare of giant searchlights, bringing out charred bodies. ALL-NIGHT JOB A Roman Catholic priest, Rev John McHugh, stepped from the crowd of spectators and walked around the giving last rites as hose-hauling firemen lumbered by. The grim task of removing the -bodies went on all night. The transport came down in one of the few opens spaces in Nor- walk for blocks around. A collision on Jan. 31, 1957, in- volved a transport and a fighter plane occurred approximately 40 miles 11 o r t h w e s t of Saturday night's collision.

With him were Transport Minister George Hees and Solicitor—General Leon Balcer national president of the Conserv- ative association. He returned at 3:55 p.m. and entered the Commons 10 minute: before the normal adjournment time of 6 p.m. HAS NO STABILITY In his statement to the House he said stability of government was impossible because of the Conservatives’ minority position. “Accordingly, we believe that for effective government the re- sponsibility of , carrying on the government of Canada should be fortified by a direct and unques- tioned mandate from the people." He said the session opened Oct. 14 with a pledge of co-operation from Louis St. Laurent. The “im- mediate items" of the govern- ment’s legislative program were carried out. But the non-confidence motion Jan. 20 by new opposition leader Pearson “clearly indicated” the minority government no longer could expect co-operation. Mr. Diefenbaker said the gov- ernment had encountered increas- ing obstruction and delays “and cannot possibly hope to carry for- ward its long-term program . . . unless it can be assured of suffi- cient support in the House." , His election announcement brough cheers from all members.

They were on their feet at the end seeking to speak but Speaker Michener ruled Parlia- ment was out of existence. Liberal c r i e s of “closure,” ‘shame” and “black Saturday" raised echoes of the angry scenes of the 1956-gas piptline debate. “Shame,” Mr. Sinclair shouted at Speaker Michener. “You were a good Speaker.” Walter Tucker (L — Rosthern) called out that the dissolution document had been signed before the prime minister spoke.
