then died out again. He thought the boat would have gone about 15 feet. before it stopped. He did not hear the motor again.

Mr. Stanley Gallant. Pat-kdale, said he got to the pond about 3.30 that afternoon with his son and another boy. They had a dinghy from which they fished for some time and later saw what he thought was a stick in the water. When they got nearer he saw it was an upturned boat. His son said there was a man on the bot- tom of the pond so he returned and verified it.

Called For Help

He called for help and R.C.M.P.

Cpl. Peter Jay. who had been fish- ing on the pond. responded. At that time he saw only one body and the anchor rope was wound around the lower part of the body. He had to cut. it away. ' Cpl. Jay said he arrived at the pond about 1.30 and there were no other boats fishing then. He had noticed something in the water earlier, but had taken it for a raft or the top of a box. It was about 100 yards away from him. About 430 he had stopped fishing and was preparing to leave when he heard that a body had been found. He immediat 'y want to the scene and saw I. boat upside down in the water. Approximately 10 feet from the bow he saw 9. body face down with arms outstretched on the bottom. He thought then there was only one.

He rowed to shore and called the R.C.M.P. Barracks hers for aid and grappling hooks. He returned to the site and than he saw that there was another body under- neath. The rope and the fishing lines were twisted around both bodies. He pulled on the rope and both came to the surface.

The opening scene was placed in Portsmouth, England in the year 1770 where Captain Slimm. played by Walter Cox gets his sailing or- ders to leave for Dead Man's Is- land with his motley crew en- trusted with a bevy of young la- dies to be married off to the set- tiers thcre.

Further Drop In Unemployment Benefits Noted

Less than half the number of people who were drawing Unem- pioyment Insurance benefits in late March are still receiving weekly payments.

In the last week in March. 1750 claimants were in receipt of week- ly checks. as compared to 836 as of yesterday.

The swift decline in the total is an anual occurrence. and fol- lows in the footsteps of increas- ing omployment. every spring.

Next week Employment officials predict that the figure will be sliced still lower when the lobster canneries open. Hundreds of men and women will become re-employ- ed at North Lake, Sourls, Gas- pereaux. Murray Harbor, Mon- tague, Lower Montague, George- town. Morell, Savage Harbor and Rustico.

At all of these fishing centres the usual last minute preparations for lobster fishing are being made, as the plants and boats make ready the big event.

The local National Employment office reports a scarcity of farm l bor. a problem which has become almost chronic at this season of the year.

some German famt laborers were available about two months ago. and most of the farmers who applied for them at that time have either received them. or will be alloted one of the newcomers in the next few weeks.

Farmers who are applying for help now are less fortunate, and it is very doubtful whether many farm vacancies can be filled.

There is -a large number of car- penters and very little local con- etructlon work under way, or in sight. to absorb the surplus.

Labrador was expected to pro- vide employment for many ut these tradesmen. but the Ameri- can authorities have reduced hir- ings drastically for the present at least. It is possible that big scale recruiting of labor for the Labra- dor Job will be resumed later on when the American contractors are given details as to projects not yet completed. and others in the planning stage.

Meantime it is not expected that any more workers will be recruited for the North Country until late in May, and then only a linilted number.
