FORESEES MA ITIME OPPORTUNITIES IN DEVELOPME . OI‘ ATOMIC POWER

OTTAWA. June 2 -—(Speol l)— I-Iopes that Canada‘: develop ent of atomic power for industrial r- poses as foreshadowed in the I-limes of Qomnionn-todwv .Det,¢nsg-Prim duction Mlnielor owe may biting

Provinces were expressed in e chamber by J. Angus MscLeain, Conservative member for Queen:

Second speaker in the debate 0

ed out that the element. of trans- portation is unimportant in atomic power developmentf. Electric power derived or converted from nuclear energy. he said, might quit. con- ceivably relieve the scouts dis- tress of the Maritime: and‘ rmit those provinces to c to on favorable tsrins with the y in- dustrialised sections of central Canada. Atomic power. he empha- sized, would be particularly valu- able in sections of the country where other types of fuel are not readily available.

The Queens member told the Commons that many Canadians had been doubtful as to whether Csnsds. had kept abreast of the United Kingdom and the United States in the development of ato- mic power and its eppuestion to industry. He felt that Mr. Howe's speech on the subject want some distance to relieve this anxiety.

Mr. Msclieen recalled a recent address of Dean C. J. MacKenzle, former president of the National Research Council and former pre- sident of Atomic Energy Limited. in which that renowned expert suggested that the time was reach- ed when the people of the west might slow down on atomic re- search by reason of limited ex- changes of information. _ "I hope." Mr. MacLean laid. "the our progress in this highly im- portant. and competitive field will not be delayed by an air-tight

Extend Insurance To Servicemen

OTTAWA tCP)—'I'hc government has agreed to accept the suggee-- ilon of a CC!‘ member of parlia- ment to make servicemen who en- listed before July, 10.50 eligible for unemployment insurance on dlschsrglez.

Colin . Denncit, parliamentary assistant to Veterans Minister Gregg. told the veterans affairs committee Wednesday that the

government has agreed to the e

n G :-

proposnl. He. su that the committee in its report. to the commons urge that the provision be written into the veterans benefit

set.

Mr. Bennett. Liberal member for Grey North. rec lied that lest. month Claire Gil s (CCl‘—Cepe Breton South) and other commit- tee members argued that there is no justice in excluding. from unemployment insurance nefits veterans who enlisted shortly after the outbreak of hostilities in Korea in June, I930.

Conditions at the time seemed to make it advisable to exclude veterans who enlisted prior to July, but they now had changed.

‘Mr. Gillls said use proposal by

chamber of security,"

The Queens member recalled the United States built submsr inc “Naut.ilis" which with its atomic power‘ plant, can circle the globe without refueling. and spoke of application in Britain of atomic power for industrial purposes.

"I feel it is important.” he said. "that. thlii Parliament and this country generally should be kept as fully posted on this vital new development as is possible."

Mr. Macliean voiced gratification on the part of the official oppo- sition that there is today, close co-operation in atomic energy de- ,v lopments between Canada. the United Kingdom and the United States. He expressed the hope that ‘even wider co-operation on this matter will be possible in the in- ternational field. The government. Mr. MacLean said. should show ii lively awareness of all phases of atomic energy both on the de- structive and economic sides.

Crii'ic_al of Delay In Building Railway

QUEBEC (CF) - I-‘inance Min- istor Gagnon says the Canadian National Railways’ decision not to build immediately a railroad link between Chibougamsu and St. Fel- lclcn in northern Quebec could "shackle" development of the Chi- couiimi region.

In an address Wednesday before the Renaissance Club, a Union Na- tionale party organization. Min Gag- nonv said construction soon will start at Chicoutlml.nn a nickel and copper refinery. and another re- inory Tor zinc extraction is being planned.

"Do they (the CNIU absolutely want to shackle the construction of those two new industries. which will have a capital importance for that vast region" he risked.

The federal transport department has announced a railroad will be built from Ecattyvllle. near the On- tario-Queboc border. to Chihou- gamsu. but the link to St. Felicien will not be started for some time.

Job-Seekers Told No Seaway work Yes

CORNWALL. Ont... (OP) —— Na- tional employment service offic- ials say hundreds of men seeking jobs on the st. Lawrence seaway have been arriving in this dist- rict but all have been advised that no jobs are available anti it is not known when construction work will begin.

Coastal Vessel Josephine K. Buns Agrouno

CANSO. N.S. (CP)—'I'he veteran coastal steamer Josephine K. ran hard aground at the Canso harbor entrance at noon Wednesday and refused to budge from her rocky perch even after part of her cargo was jettisoned.

The vessel had been on route from the Cape Breton island vil- lage of Cheticamp to Halifax with a load of gaspereaux in barrels. There was no immediate explana tion of how she hit the under- water ledge.

The Josephine K. sailed as a rum-runner in the 30s and her name hit the headlines when the skipper was shot. and killed during I chase by a US. coastguard out-

tcr.

The incident and others similar to it contributed to the eventual repeal of prohibition in the United States.

Ollawa Rejects Halifax Highway Exil Proposal

OTTAWA (CPt——I-{saith Minister Martin said Wednesday he has in- formed a Nova Scotla delegation that the federal government cannot improve the highway exit from Halifax.

Mr. Martin, in charge of civil defence for the federal govern- .ment. was interviewed Tuesday by Premier Connolly and Provincial Treasurer Fielding of Nova. Scot-ll. who sought assistance as a civil defence measure.

"I lied to inform them it is not the policy.of the government to do that kind.of work, either for na- tional or civil defence,“ Mr. Mer- tin said in an interview.

It was understood another Nova Scotia government delegation will come to Ottawa later to approach Defence Minister Clsxton and Works Minister Winters, Nova scotia representative in the cab- inet. Mr. Winters now is in Europe on a trade mission.

A fire of undetermined origin last night quickly level- led the store and dwelling of Mr. Douglas Rhynes of Park- dale in a blaze that spread so rapidly that members of the household including Mr. Rhynes’ wife, his father and mo- ther and two small children barely escaped the burning building.

Mr. Robert; Rliynes, 83, was obliged to jump from an upstairs window but was uninjured when his son Douglas broke his fall. The elder Mrs. Rhynes with her husband are patients in the Prince Edward Island Hospital suffering from shock while Douglas suffered minor facial burns and

Mr. Rhynes with his wife and family and his aged parents lived in an apartment over the grocery store. About 8 o'clock he smelled smoke, and when he investigated by opening the door of the store, he was met by a solid wall of name. He rushed upstairs to warn the rest of the family and had succeeded in getting his mother down the stairs when he saw his father at the upstairs window. He told him to jump and when the elderly man did so. the son par- tially caught hull and broke the fall. Mrs. Rhynes in the mean- time had gotten the two children out. of the apartment but not be- fore three-year-old Marlene had her hand burned.

The loss. which could not be estimated last night, will run into several thousands of douars. In- cluded in the loss were 12 pairs of chinchilles valued at $12,000. Three pairs belonged to Mr. R.h,vnes and the remainder to Mr. A. B. Hublcy of Petitcodiac. N. B, It is under- stood that there is some insurance on the property and store contents but there was none on the chin- chlllas.

Fluoridation Of Water is Urged

QUEBEC (CP) — The Canadian Public Health Association has adopted a resolution urging com- munities across Canada to start fluoridation of their public water supplies as quickly as possible.

The resolution ,adopted Wednes- day during final sessions of the Association's three - day an n u ai meeting, recalled that fluoridation as an effective method of reducing tooth decay had been recommended two years ago at the annual meet- ing.

It said there is "no reason to change its fnrniing opinion. Valu- able time was being lost because

of the failure of most Canadian communities to implement. this procedure."

The association also viewed "with approval the lll(‘i‘Cf'i5lllQ inlcrt-st in medical care and . . . siiggestctl In its membership that it must al- ways bear in mind that medical care is an inescapable interest of those engaged in public health."
