Ajax Built Boat On Job AJAX (Staff) -- For the sec- ond time in the past three months a new type jet propelled boat built in Ajax has taken part in rescue work. The shallow draft jet boat ploughed three times through the rapids seven miles west of Par- liament Hill, Ottawa, to take off seven persons from two sailboats caught in the rapids. A helicopter from the RCAF search and rescue unit from Tren- ton worked during the night but was only able to remove two other persons. Similar work was done by the jet propelled vessel when a boat taken right out of stock at the plant here and rushed to Tim- mins recently. The boat was able to get right up close to homes of many stranded families and take them to safety, passing through flood- ed woodlands over trees and logs without difficulty.

Mr. Peters immediately ran into a barrage of criticism from J. W. Pickersgill (L--Bonavista- Twillingate) and Conservative members for what they inter- preted was his support of public funds being spent to give public- ity to a perjurer or self-confessed but unconvicted eriminal. The woman, 27-year-old Joan Campbell, appeared on the TV program "close - up" May 26. Known to the CBC as Mercedes Hunter, the woman was inter- viewed by June Callwood. Mr. Peters set off the discus- sion during consideration of CBC spending estimates by saying some CBC dramatic programs are stupid because they seem to begin nowhere and end nowhere. However, public discussion broadcasts were "very construc- tive and very well done."
