Hall & Stavert Foundry Gutted By Fire Yesterday

A fire which started at ezao in the Hell and Stavert on Elm Avenue last evening complete- ly gutted the 60-foot wooden structure which his located some distance from the street in a lot between 104-109 on the Avenue.

Besides the building. the loss to the firm is chiefly in its patterns most of which were stored in the loit.oi the building. at one time used by Home Bros. for stebling horses. Later it was acquired by A. 3. Block and Son as a piece for curing end storing hides. Hall end stavert purohaasad the building about eight years ago.

The cause of the fire is not known but it is reported that the casting of metal had taken place yesterday afternoon and it is pos-

aible that a stray spark may have amouldered for a. time to break out after workmen had left the plant.

The loss of patterns to a foundry is a very serious one and win at. dect the output oi the machine shop which Bell and stavert oper- ate on Pownal Street. It is of per- tlcular concern at this time of year when they are rushed for a large number ci orders from fishermen end others. i

A newly built mill room at the west end of the main structure was not affected by the blame which gave firemen dialculty in fighting because there were no openings in the upper pert of the building. to which the fire was mostly confin- ed.

OARBONEAR. NIld., (GP) - Whole waterfronis were wiped clean of wharvcs end buildings end in some spots stores were washed to sea in Newfoundland's worst storm in history.

striking Sunday and raging most of Monday and Tuesday, the lash- ing scas sent water thundering 200 feet up steep cliffs and against the wherves and fishing stages.

Everywhere along the coast there were scenes of almost unbelieveable demese.

some spots were ' still isolated Tuesday and damage reports are likely to keep trickling lntoyst. John's for days to come.

I toured the fishing villages and outports of conception Bay Tues- day. Here's what I saw:

The winter coal supply of Charles Marshall lapped around in stul angry sees and the building that

housed it was floating in thousands of pieces.

HOMES MOVE

A mile down the road, Thomas Peckhem saw his coal and shed disappear the same way. Both men felt their homes move under the pressure of pounding waves.

Separating the two men was a 1.000-foot stretch of highway, loaded with rocks, sand, tin cans, timber and everything else the powerful seas could muster thmush the once strong looking breakwater.

A 40-foot stretch of the paved highway was torn into huge hunks and heaved like pebbles across ne'u'by railway tracks.

In the centre of town. a ware- house et the rear of a supermar- ket was torn to bits by the seas which sleppe.d against it most of the day. Only the roof and one

Returns Froin Russia

BERLIN, (AP)-A Detroit man back from slavery in the Soviet Union expressed the belief Tuesday that eight U. S. fliers shot down off Europe in 1950 may be alive in Soviet prison camps.

John H. Noble. 31, spent 9 1-2 years in Soviet captivity. As a prisoner at the Vorkute. slave la- bor camp he witnessed the 1853 revolt there. He said the slave la- borers need "only a spark" to ilare into open rebellion. He declared the forced labor brigades are real.- less, have rebelled in the past and are likely to do so again.

Noble said he had been told at Vorkuta. that the American air- men were held in a. Soviet pruon. He called it common knowledge at Vorkuta that some Americans who came down in the Baltic see. were in captivity.

A, U- 5- NBVY privateer. a. four- engine plane. disappeared over the Baltic in April 1950, with 10 men.

Noble also said that while he was in prison he had heard a ru- mor that Lt.-Gen. Vaaslly Stalin, son of the late dictator. is in M05. cow's Lublalq. prison.

Noble described to reporter-g his four years in the notorious camp at Vorkuta in Arctic Russia. where the temperatures once hit 72 degrees below zero, and added quietly he lived through his ordeal only because of "confidence in God."

Noble said 100.000 men were in- volved in a strike which set off the giant rebellion at Vorkuta in July. 1953. He said no inmates were shot on the spot. and 50 or 60 executed later Another 500 in-

Dies Stiddehly '

NORANDA. Que. (GP)--John W. Mackenzie, 52, a mining engineer in northern Ontario and north- western Quebec for the last 21 years, died Tuesday oi a heart at- tack.

Mr. Mackenzie was born at Syd- ney. N.S., and attended Sydney Academy there. He received his bachelor of science degree from Mount Allison University. Sack- ville, N. 13.. and graduated as a mining engineer from the Nova Bcotle. Technical College. Halifax.

Italians. Germans and English.

English immigrants dropped in the month to 1.990 from 2.628 last year; Germans to 1,370 from 2,290; Italians to 1.571 from 2.696: He- brews to 98 from 286: Poles to 122 irom 301: Dutch to 299 from 852; Austrians to 156 from 398.

The number oi Chinese coming to Canada increased slightly to 206 from 194.

To Build Big Plant

TORONTO. (GP)-Ethyl Corpor- ation of Canada, Ltd.. Tuesday an- nounced plans to build at sarnla, Ont. a "multl-million-dolla.r" plant to manufacture "Ethyl" anti-knock compound for gasoline.

It is expecl.ed'that the plant will be in production early next year and will employ about 150 persons.

mates were wounded in the first minutes of the blowup.

Noble said the strike in the coal mines-there are at least 50 in the area-and on construction projects was organized by followers of L. P. Berle, deposed police chief who was executed later by a. Red Army firing squad.

The slightly built American told how he and his father, Charles Noble, a camera manufacturer, were trapped in Dresden by the war and compelled to work for the Nazi regime under "local govern- ment."

In 1945, the advance guard of Russians arriving in Dresden ar- rested the Nobles. The elder Noble was released in 1952. Meantime, John was sentenced to 15 years, though never tried, and was trans- ferred to Vorkuta in 1950. The charge, he gathered. was that he and his father received American officers and soldiers in 1945 and had American food in their home.
