(CP) Residents of nearby villages are breathing easier today as a raging, still uncontrolled, forest fire slowed in its sweeping advance across mountainous bushland northeast of | here. The two villages, Ste. Therese du Colombier and Cantour Latour, are directly in the path of the arrow- F 1 [ velocity could have sent the fire rushing into the village.

During the welcomed lull, scores of firefighters hacked and bulldozed fire-breaks in the path of the blaze in case an increase or change in direction in the wind should prod- uce a new threat to surrounding communities. The fringes of the fire now are about six miles north of here and 10 miles west of Ste. Therese. Two minor fires were spotted near Ste. Therese Monday night and burned over about one square mile of land before being contained in that area. An increase in wind Last night's meeting was well advanced and time hung heavy on the hands of the Oshawa and Dis- tict Labour Council members as they waited for the scruitneers to bring in the results of the voting and announce the delegates to the CCL convention in Montreal. So it was natural the talk should turn {to a post-mortem of the August 10 federal election. Delegate Nelson Wilson severely criticized the Council for its poor efforts in the election.

SAME OLD GROUP Vice-presideit Ken Cobb of the PAC in Local 222 said their com- mittee was permanent and report- ed at every meeting like the oth- ers. "But," he said, "'there's only 50 turn out for the meeting. 3 he all same men are being educate the time." Questioner: 'What's your mem- bership?" Cobb: "Ten thousand!" One concrete suggestion was put forward by a woman. "See that the election is not held | in the holidays, next time," she said.

"The CCF members in this rid- ing are fighting among them- selves, There are too mary gen- erals and not enough privates," he charged. : An unidentified member: '"Mike's only a corporal." Fenwick: "I'm in the rank and file. "Speaking of programs,' Chair- man E. Twining said, "the Liberals didn't have any except their record and look at them."

Light rain fell for less than an | hour in the Forestville area today. | but there was not enough to have any appreciable effect on the main | fire. liz. wars Sir Winston Looks Pale But Jaunty LONDON (Reuters)--Sir Vemnon Churchill, jaws clamped on his usual cigar, left London today for his country home in Kent after a foreign affairs conference with his | cabinet here. . The prime minister, accompan- ied by Lady Churchill, smilingly acknowledged the cheers of a crowd gathered in front of 10 | Downing street. He looked pale {and leaned on a stick, but jauntily doffed his hat. He came to Downing street Tues- day to preside at the unexpected two-hour cabinet meeting. It was the first time he had attended a cabinet meeting since late June, when doctors ordered him to rest from overwork. As his car drove off, Churchill could be seen petting his chocolate- | colored poodle, Rufus, who occu- {pied his usual place beside the prime minister. 15ST HORSE TO WIN | $100,000 IN RACE Miss Woodford, the mare i that came in first in St. Louis | in June 1886, was the first horse in America to win a hun- dred thousand dollars in the | _Eclipse Stakes.

'But these accounts said the dis- orders were caused by police ef- forts to halt nationalist supporters of Mossadegh and Communists from continuing frenzied demon- strations against the shah. Iran's hagdsomie ruler, Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlevi, fled from the country with his beautiful queen, Soraya, last Sunday when Mossadegh's forces crushed an at- tempt to oust the old premier and install the shah's choice--a pro- Western general, Fazollah Zahedi. The shah and queen arrived in Rome Tuesday. The report from Tehran today said Zahedi had been installed as premier, Mossadegh rode to power in April 1951 on his strong nationalist demands for government seizure of the vast 30,000,000-ton-a-year oil industry from Britain, which had controlled the country's life blood for half a century. His refusal to compromise in his program for nationalizing the $1,500,000,000 Ang- lo-Iranian Oil Company shut off the flow of oil to the West and caused a bitter break in diplomatic relations between Iran and Britain. way of confirming the dramatic report. The report said Mossadegh had &-- The man who read the invitation for the shah to return home said over the Tehran radie: "At this time the people have been able to capture the capital. We are eagerly waiting for your return." Before this, the first announce- ment of the royalist overthrow of Mossadegh followed much confused shouting in the radio station, ac- cording to monitors in London. Apparently the dispute was about who would have the honor of read- ing the announcement. Mossadegh has kept a vice-like grip n Iran for more than two years. He has repeatedly crushed opposition to his regime, whether it has come from parliament rivals, religious leaders or the pal- ace. Onl ce did he up the premiership. That was when Ah- med avam took over the govern- med Qavam took over the govern- days before rioting supporters of Mossades swept him out of of- ice. The latest revolutionary bid may yet turn 'out to be shortlived be- cause the nationalist-minded Moss- adegh still commands tremendous support in the bazaars and in the slums of Iran's sprawling, teeming cities. : The first radio report heard in London said royalists controlled the radio station and all govern- ment offices. Pontiacs at the General Motors plant here will not be effected for at least a month, if then, as a result of the $40,000,000 fire which destroyed the GM transmission plant at Detroit last week.
