Mr. MacNutt recalled that the freeze-up came early quickly in 1958. There was great difficulty in getting all of the buoys out of the water. and ‘motor boats were used in an ef- ‘,fort to get those in the bar- ‘bor which had frozen into the ice, and had to be broken out.

The Saurel and Tupper whicn have been working on the buoy- lifting chore for the past two weeks. are both expected to be in port soon and will be here over the holiday so that the crews can get home for Christ-

The winner of the award will be presented with a plaque by The Evening Patriot in honor of his selection and he be paid further recognition at preSentation ceremonies to be attended by a number of prom- inent Island citizens.
