Government plows were out on all the main highways yesterday but were called in last evening. The plows will operate again at day- break.

lleevy drifts were reported at Hazelgrove. Brookfleld and in the vicinity of Carleton. but in the vic- inity of Albertpn the snowfall was very light. Operations were hinder- ed considerably when cars were found stalled on the road and had to be hauled out.

Buses on the Murray Rlver-Mon- tcgue route and the Montague- Csrdigen-Georgetown route did not operate. Late runs last night to Summcrside and Sourls were also cancelled. All other buses, however. operated.

Very little trouble was reported by the Island Telephone Company but the electric power line at Bor- den went out about six o'clock last evening and llnesmen -were work- ing in an effort to repair it last night. Blocked roads. however, hin- dered the movements of Maritime

According to the R. C. A. F. Meteorological Station. the snow fall in that locality was four inches.

Eight Pedsons Lose lives When Homes Burn

DESCI-IENES. Que.. Dec. 28 - (CP) - A private soldier of Can- ada's 25th Brigade was flying home from Korea tonight to what re- mained of his family. four mem- bers of which were burned to death Friday.

Four of Pte. Robert Glandon's five children died in their flaming. tar-paper covered home shortly af- ter their mother was coaxed against her better judgment to drop over to a neighbor's "just for a few minutes".

Cause of the blaze is believed to have been a stove or faulty wiring but has not been definitely estab- lished. The four children killed were Suzanne, 10. Claude, ll, George 7, and Jacques, 4.

Because the tiny. 16-by-18-foot home was so small -. it was orig- inally a playhouse for two children who had lived nearby a fifth child is still alive.

Nine-year-old Richard Glandon was sleeping with neighbors because the Glandon home was not big enough for all the children.

"I, dldnlt want to leave them alone”, Mrs. Glanclon said later, explaining that a neighbor had coaxed her to drop over for a visit.

A vain attempt was made to fight. the blaze with a. bucket brigade, using a well as the source of water, but the fire. which broke out about an hour before midnight. reduced the building to ashes within two hours.

Pte. Glandon has served with the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps in Korea since last July. The army immediately made arrange- ments to fly him home. Mrs, Glan- don was in a hysterical condition, under a doctor's care.

Fire Near Liverpool

LIVERPOOL. N. S.. Dec. 28 - (CP) - The only survivor of a fire which claimed the lives of a Danish immigrant couple and their two children Saturday told his story of the blaze and officials said no in- quest will be necessary.

Victims of the fire were Mr, and Mrs. Villy Mork-Hansen and their two daughters. aged three years and three months.

Only person to escape from the two-storey frame dwelling at Char- leston, 15 miles from here on Nova Scotia's south shore. was a brother of Mr. Mork-I-Iansen. Erik, l7. "

Erik said he was awakened by the fire early Saturday and tried to reach the rooms where the others were sleeping. Driven back by in- tense heat. he ran outdoors and tried to re-enter through another door.

Unable to do this he ran to a nearby house and got a ladder. But when he reached the flaming house the heat drove him back and a few minutes later the roof caved in. trapping the four victims inside.

Dec. as - (AP) - Electric shocks from fillings in your teeth may cause pain and disease of the mouth. the Amer- ican Association for the Advance- ment of science was told today. liven a single metal filling can set up an electric current. come- tirncs of surprising strength. said Dr. William Bchriever. professor of physics at the University of Oklahoma. Norman. Okla.

Rh new study of shocking teeth included exact meuurements of the tiny currents, using special equipment. -

A single filling of gold or silver amalgam can become a tiny but- tery or electric cell through con-

tact with saliva and with fluids in the bones. he said. The saliva

and bone fluid are electrolytes. and the metal filling acts like a wire between two electrolytes.

In single fillings. he measures currents ranging up to 245 milli- volts (3 millivolt is l.0o0th of :1 volt) and up to 3 1-2 microcmpsl (one millionths of an ampere). I

In pairs of fillings. he found currents of about the same range Pairs of gold and Amalgam fillings created stronger currents than did pairs of gold fillings.

Dr. Bchriever said there appears to be good evidence that serious disorders of the mouth have been caused by metallic dental fillings. The troubles probably are not due to the strength of the current so much u a person's sensitivity to metallic ions or charged particles

LONDON. Dec. 28 - (Reuters) -The world's first four-jet "Cres- cent-Wing" bomber has made its maiden flight in Southwest Eng- land. it was announced here Sat- urday.

It is the Handley Page 80, order- ed ln quantity "off the drawing boards" by the RAF some months ago and now taken off the secret list.

The Crescent-Wing, roughly in the shape of a quarter-moon, sweeps back from the fuselage and then straightens out toward the tips. It is said to combine advant- ages of two other wing ty1pehigh- speed jets--the swept-back and the delta. or triangular. wings.

The plane's manufacturers.

Handley Page Limited, claim that

"No other bomber files as fast. as far and L5 high with as great a bomb load."

"This aircraft should revitalize Britain's forces," declared Sir. Frederick Handley Page. chairmanl of the company. "Its global strik- ing power in this atomic age . equivalent to many squadrons of; World War II bombers.” he said. 4

Previous claimant to the title; was the Avro 698 Vulcan. the first. four-jet delta wing bomber, which. made its maiden flight in Brltaiiii last Aug. 30.

Supply Minister Duncan Sandys said the I-IP-80 will take iLs place with the Vulcan and the Vlckersl Valiant. - also a four-engined jet. plane - for the RAF'S "longer range” strategic operations,

Brant Towed lnlo Halifax

HALIFAX. Dec. 28 -(CP) -The Transport Department's supply ship Brant was towed into port without incident Saturday after her steer-

ing gear broke down about in miles off shore. Another departmental ship, the

Edward Cornwallis. made the low after the Brant became disabled Friday while on a supply mission to an island.

(The Brant. which operates as a coast supply ship during the Sum- mer months under instructions from the Charlottetown Agency was transferred to the llallfax Agency a week ago. It is customary to make this transfer each year be- fore Charlottetown harbour freezes over in order that the Brant. which

is commanded by Captain C. A. Arsenault. may be kept in com- mission sailing out of Halifax

during the winter months.)

Queen Alexandrine Of Denmark Dies In Sleep

- -- i COPENHAGEN. Dec. 28 --(AFN - Queen Mother Alexandrina, who reigned as Denmark's queen through two world wars, died in her sleep today, five days after her 'l3rd birthday. King Frederick IX was at the bedside of his mother. who underwent a major operation 12 days ago.

Denmark immediately went into mourning. The state radio broad- cast tolling bells and solemn organ music, flags were lowered to ball staff throughout the country, and

thousands assembled silently in the street outside the hospital where the Queen Mother died.

Many were weeping. .

Alexandrina was born in Ger- many to the House of Mecklen- burg-Scliwerin and married Christ- ian X of Denmark in 1898 while he was crown prince. She became Queen in l9l2 and reigned until 1947 when Christian died. Her first years in Denmark were al- fllcted by the prevailing anti-Gel- man attitude of the Dane. but she won them over.

Kaj Munk. poet. priest and pat- riot wlio later was murdered by the Germans, said during a. Sec- ond World War sermon that Queen Alcxandrine was "the only German we want to stay in Den- mark.”

On April 9. i940. she was diplo- matically obliged to receive the German commander of occupation troops at her castle. After thc' introduction she observed icily:

"In different circumstances, you would have been welcome.'

Then, after a pause. she added:

"I am a German. thats right,. but today I'm ashamed of it." I

She remained in Denmarlf' throughout. the war.

Besides a facility for languages- she could speak seven-she was possessed of considerable musical ability. Her son, the present King, inherited this talent. He- even conducts large syniphonics
