MONTREAL (Cli’l ~ The ice breakers d'Ibcrville and Ernest Lapointe. forced to halt opera- lions when a blinding snow storm hit the St. Lawrence lowlands. late Monday resumed the battle to clear a passage through the ice for ocean freighters trapped near Montreal.

A dozen ships were imprisoned in the ice below Montreal and an- other 17 waited in Montreal liar- bor for the two icebreakers to make possible a dash to the navi- gable waters of the Atlantic, 800 miles away.

Eleven of the vessels were helpless in ice off Lanoraie, about 25 1miles downriver from Mont- rea .

FORCED DROP ANCHOR

The snowfall Monday forced the icebreakers to drop anchor when visibility became so poor that the river banks could not be seen from the channel.

Late Monday they were work- ing in the vicinity of the Sorel is- lands, about 50 miles northeast of Montreal. where ice has been pil- ing up in the narrow passages between the islands.

“A large span of ice has let go on the south side." a harbor of- ficial in Montreal said. "and that‘s what they're working at right now.”

Stopped at Trois-Rivieres, 90 miles downstream from Montreal. were the British Selkirk» Norc and the Consuelo. The Elimarie, trapped Sunday by ice near th'. Sorel islands. was rt_ rted moi. in; again on its way to Trois—Riy ieres.

Meanwhile three ships, escorted by the icebreaker Montcalm, left Quebec city downrivc for the Gulf of St. Lawrence and com- parative smooth sailing on the

On Sunday moring. December 7th. Rev. G.A. Cowper-Smith de- livered an impressive address based on Hebrews 4.12 “The word of God is living and powenful". Special consideration was given to the work being carried on by

‘ the British and Foreign Bible -' Society. W‘hile showing that splendid progress has been made. he urged that much more needs to be done. The Bedeque branch of the society has taken an active interest in the work for many years. There are sev- I oral “life memberships" in this

, 1 ama of the society.
