nly Speedy Sales- Will efer Closing Of Mine

GLACE BAY, N3. (CP)-Chlef- fame of management and labor left a meeting here Monday with the scheduled ' of the big No. 1-B colliery unchanged unless mar- kets for Cape Breton coal can be speedily found.

Tom .McLachlan. president of UMW District 26. said in a pre- pared statement that "the matter of providing sufficient markets 1- sssure continued operation of the industry can and should be t y at a federal level."

He was supported by Michael McDonald. leader of the Nova Scotln CCF party. Mr. McDonald aaid Saturday's announcement that I-B would shut down permanently May 31 was more evidence of "the crying need for a national fuel policy."

He said a federal fuel policy to protect coal from the inroads of oil "is an urgent need when some mines close and others live in a state of fear." .

The 8l0.000.000 loan will be the third floated since the island joined Canada in 1949. The first in 1052 was for 810,000,000 and the second last year was for 012,000,000.

OTTAWA, (Speciall - Preser- vation of potatoes in perfect con- dition in the warm spring days and even in the heat of summer is possible through the use of minute quantities of radioactive cobalt.

This new method of long term potato storage is revealed in an article in the Soviet News Bul- letin. compiled at the Ottawa em- bassy of the U.S.S.R. From docu- ments and information sent the cmlmssy from Moscow. soviet nuclear physlsts claim the in- vention or rather the applica- tion oi cobalt atoms to potato iprenavntlrdt, is elr nun. Oh
