The number of | cases is dropping steadily. H Mapitoba suffered a record 1,350 cases including 42 deaths during the current season for the highest total on record in any of the three Prairie provinces. Saskatchewan is second with 453 cases and 28 deaths. Alberta has 428 cases and | 25 deaths and British Columbia 817 cases and 10 deaths. The previous record for the West was held by Saskatchewan which had a case total of 1,223 in 1952 and 90 deaths the same year. The | previous peak year in Manitoba | was 1941 with 1,011 cases and 30] deaths and 1952 in British Columbia | with 595 cases. There is no figure available for the number of deaths in B.C. that year. STEADY DECLINE Dr. M. R. Elliott, deputy minister In West of health, said the cases in Man- itoba have shown a steady decline in the last two weeks. It is par- ticularly noticeable in Winnipeg and suburbs where the height of the epidemic passed about two weeks ago. Dr. Elliott said there is no reason to postpone the opening of Mani- toba schools beyond Sept. 14. The epidemic caused the provincial committee on polio to recommend the delay in opening an estimated 1,800 classrooms. Department of education returns show about 1,630 of these in Greater Winnipeg, the rest in rural schools. Some rural schools, scheduled to {open Aug. 25, were delayed only to Aug. 31. Others opened on time. All schools in the province had been scheduled to open by Sept. 2.

The first session of the denom- nomination's Dominion Executive Board to convene in the new -of- fices is slated for early in Novem- ber. At that time representatives from every province or regional conference in Canada will be pres- ent. . Heat Causes Auto Output NEW YORK -- Auto production has slumped this week for a vari ety of reasons. One was the heat which encouraged absenteeism. Others included unbalanced ma- terials inventories, parts shortages and preliminary tooling up for 1954 models. The recent $50,000,000 fire at General Motors' transmission plant continued to slow output of cars using hydra-matic. End-of-the-month reports showed over-all industry operations for August at a high level. Despite the fire, GM turned out 245,990 | passenger cars while Ford pro- duced 161,000. The industry total was 520,000 cars. This month De- troit hopes to make it 539,000. BACK TO SCHOOL VICTORIA (CP)--For the new school term in British Columbia there will be 10,000 new pupils, bringing the total to about 202,000. Provincial authorities said 7,350 teachers are necessary now, an in crease of 250 over the last term. Charles J a ¢ q u e s Montmagny, governor of New France from 1636 to 1648, previously fought against the Turks and the Moors. Torrential Rains And Winds End Heat Wave After 12 Days TORONTO (CP)--A blistering 12- day heat wave in central Canada ended Friday night with the arrival of cool air and showers. The Labor Day week-end fore- cast calls for cloudy and cool weather in most areas today and probably sunny skies Sunday. Rain, high winds and thunder- storms swept across southern On- tario, singly and in combination, end to the steamy weather that had settled over most of the continent from the Rocky Mountains to the St. Lawrence river. After day upon day of mid-90 temperatures--in Toronto Sept. 2 the mercury hit 100--the break came swiftly as the cool air moved eastward. The temperature at Windsor plunged in four hours from 90 to 62, while Toronto re- ported a dip from 90 to 72 in five hours. At 10 p.m. Friday, White River jn northerr™Ontario had a cool 47 degrees. In Western Ontario the storms that broke the heat wave ripped roofs off barns, toppled trees and tore. down hydro lines while light- ning fired several barns contain- ing the season's crops. A windstorm at Toronto dam- aged grandstand scenery and blew down decorations at the Canadian National - Exhibition, where the scorching weather held down at- tendance during the first week of the big fair. More than 25 trees were blown down near Peterborough, one land- ing on an automobile. A sprinkle of rain in the Delhi district of southwestern Ontario was believed too little to save the drought-threatened $5,000,000 to- bacco crop. Elsewhere, fruit growers and farmers expressed hope the rain would continue long enough to re- fresh their parched crops. Fruit has been reported ripening rapidly and prematurely. Heavy rain struck the North Bay district, helping firefighters grap- pling with numerous forest blazes.

Fortunately no ome was injured. At least three homes were damag- ed by falling trees and the roofs of three barns were blown away. The home of Mrs. Hattie Mar- tinell was damaged as trees fell across the building ripping off the eaves, shattering windows, and caving the roof of a small barn at the rear of the house. Robert Alexander had the hood of his car smashed in by falling limbs during the terrific storm of three minutes duration, which shoved his auto off the road into the ditch. Theshome of Al Stevens also suf- fered damages from the falling trees, which twisted off, and fell across phone and hydro poles. This morning large emergency Hydro crews laboured! to clear the wreckage, and repair the shatter- ed poles. Tornado-Like Wind Hits Kendal Area Ty |and onward for almost 'six miles, The storm approached from the south west and travelled from Newtonville, down through Kendal leaving a tangle of broken trées and sagging wires. "We expected rain, but nothing like this," Mrs. George Mercer, mother of five children, said. "It was terrible. I thought the whole village was going to blow away." She said she looked out a side window and saw the neighbor's trees blowing over. 'I thought our trees would come down so I took the children across the street to safety," Mrs. Mercer said. "We could hardly see anything when the storm hit it was so sudden." Mr. and Mrs. Al Stevens and their two small children were un- hurt when two large trees crashed on their home, knocking off the chimney and breaking windows.

Charge For School Bus Residents of North Oshawa who have children who will be attending North Simcoe School are outspokenly angry over the transportation arrangements made by the Board of Education. There will be a charge of 75 cents a week made by DeNure Bus Lines to transport the pupils. 'At the same time, the Board of Education has closed Bloor Street East school and is transporting pupils from there to 'Ritson Road without charge. Neither group is taken home for lunch. {the Board does not consider the {discrepancy unfair, it was learn- ed: | In the case of North Oshawa' | children, it is only pupils in | Grades 7 and 8 who have to travel the considerable distance to North Simcoe School, while the smaller boys and girls can attend the Queen Elizabeth School close to home. Normally, these older chil- dren might either walk to school or be transported by their parents. So the arrangement to have a De- Nure bus leave Alberts Road at 8.30 in the morning, is a simple convenience. The weekly charge is 'nominal', school authorities say. A city bus will call at the Bloor Street School at 8.15 each morn- ing. Because this bamilding has been temporarily closed for the sake of economy in operation and efficiency generally, the Board feels an obligation to transport and pay for the transportation of all pupils, large and small, to their new school home. The two situations are entirely different, it was stated by a Board of Education official. RATEPAYERS DISAGREE Irate residents of North Oshawa, however, do not agree with 'the contention of the Board of Educa- tion, .and are up in arms, not only because of the fare charged for the school bus service, but also because they claim there is plenty of room in the present North Osh- awa school to accommodate the grades which are being sent to North Simcoe School. This is what gne North Oshawa ratepayer had to say on the matter: "I do not agree with charging The situation is so different with &- " 10.30 a.m. Dr. R. J.

The idea that there is no compari- which is closed, and our 'school, is ridiculous because our school IS CLOSED to Grades 7 and 8." COSTS TOO MUCH "I'm not in favor of any part of it," said another North Oshawa resident. "There are a basement and an auditorium in North Osh- awo School which will not be used and while they are empty, it is not fair for us to have to pay bus fare for the children. When they are used to a hot meal, it is not going to be very nice for them in winter to have to carry lunches. We bought land and built here to be near a school, and it seems silly for our children to have to go past it to anbther school so far away. I'm kicking because I have two to go and the bus fare seems unreasonable. At 75 cents a week that's $26 a year for each. We have to pay enough taxes without any extra charges." "I think it's just a headache and no sense to it," said another rate- payer. "If they are forced to go to North Simcoe School, then free transportation should be provided.

OTTAWA (CP) -- The feeling among some federal officials is that imports of United States gas into Toronto would virtually 'kill" the economic feasibility of develop- ing an all-Canadian route for Al- berta natural gas. And 'a federal 'resources expert says the government will have ta make up its mind quickly as to whether it will protect the eastern Canadian market for western gas or else scrap its declared policy of supporting an all-Canadian line. The move that has stirred fed- eral, officials is the decision by the United States federal power commission to allow the Tennessee | Gas Transmission Co. of Houston, | Tex, to transport natural gas from | the southwestern U.S. to the Cana- dian border for resale in Toronto. | Toronte is considered to be one | of the big eastern Canadian mar- kets for natural gas. It may be able to use more than 22 billion cubic feet a year, valued at about $12,000,000. "Knock out a $12,000,000 eastern | market for western gas and you just can't make a profitable thing out of a cross-country line," the official said. However, officials. of the Con- sumers' Gas Co. at Toronto say they expect* first delivery of gas from Texas by November next year, At best . it is not considered likely that an all-Canadian line from Alberta would be in opera- tion before 1956. At the moment, at least three companies are in the race for Alberta approval of their applications for gas export 1i- cences. The" big question in the mean- time is what position the federal government should take on the American. imports. Federal offi- cials feel the government could block imports altogether through a special order-in-council or through an act of Parliament. 3 Toronto's Texas Gas Deal Imperils All-Canadian Pipe-Line Prospects Or it*could make some agree- ment to allow the American gas in temporarily until the all-Canadian line reaches eastern Canada. But it does not' seem likely to federal officials that American in- terests would agree to go to all the expense of building a pipeline into Toronto if that line were to be allowed to operate for a few years only. The entire situation places the cabinet in a tight spot.
