Total damage was estimated at approximately $60,000, It was the second time int less than a year the owner Kurt Hansen had been victimized by fire. On March 10, his Port Whitby works also went to the ground in an $85,000 fire that prompted the move to the High- way 2 location, halfway between Whitby and Ajax. He said the seven sailing-boat hulls that burned yesterday were worth $35,000. Six men who were in the building at the time of the ini- ital explosion escaped uninjured. None of them were able to ac- count for the blast or the fire. Mr. Hansen said: 'Four men were standing together and then all at once--bingo!" At the height of the fire drums of chemicals exploded and large chunks of shrapnel-like metal were hurled as far as several 100 yards. Full drums lwére fired out of the inferno like skyrockets.

By CARMAN CUMMING UNITED NATIONS (CP)--A split in the African bloc devel- oped during the UN Security Council debate on The Congo Tuesday as Nigeria endorsed the Belgian-American paratroop rescue of hostages held by Con- golese rebels. Foreign Minister Jaja Wach- uku made a blistering attack on aiding the Congo rebels and said their charges of Belgian- American aggression were "of no consequence whatsoever." The Congo government had every right to call for such help and the Western countries had every right to supply it, he said, particularly since other African countries had turned their back on Congo requests for aid in stabilizing the coun- try. His voice was the first from Africa to be raised in the coun- cil in defence of the mission. Since last Wednesday a succes- sion of African foreign minis- ters have condemned it in lan- have Congolese Tshombe are to blame for the predicament Tshombe faces. African Bloc Splits Over Congo Rescue guage that some Western dip- lomats describe as the harsh- est they have ever used against the West. The chorus of invective con- demning the mission was ex- pected to continue today de- spite the Nigerian's attempt to quiet it. "T see nothing wrong in The Congo asking for aid in a deli- cate operation that involved the nationals Wachuku told the council Tues- day. other countries," He said African nations which refused to send aid to Premier Moise "If a government is pre- vented from discharging its du- ties by those who are regarded as brotherly states, surely the next best thing to do is to turn to those who are regarded as friends," is exactly what The Congo." Wachuku said. "That happened in He expressed support for a U.S. proposal that the council send a mission to investigate interference by outsiders in the affairs of the Leopoldville gov- ernment, Wachuku's words contrasted sharply with those of foreign ministers Joseph Murumbi of [Kenya and Antoine Guimali of the Central African Republic, who preceded him. Both ac- cused the Western powers of trickery and hypoccrisy in the rescue operation. Peron Accepts Spanish Terms MADRID (Reuters)--Former Argentine dictator Juan Peron has accepted the Spanish gov- ernment's conditions on his con- tinued residence in Spain, it was announced today, These include ceasing all political activity. The information ministry spokesman said Peron answered the government ultimatum to who said he wished to see him immediately in Ottawa to dis- cuss confidential matters tha' he could not mention on the telephone. Mr. Lamontagne and his wife drove to Ottawa that evening and checked in at the Chateau Laurier Hotel. The lawyer met Mr, Denis in the Commons of fice of the immigration minis- ter, who left shortly afterward. The two young lawyers talked jabout their years together in college, university and the Geoffrion, Prud'homme law firm in Montreal. | Mr. Denis then inquired about the Rivard extradition hearing. He said he had been asked by four persons to give Mr. La- montagne this message -- if he agreed to tolerate Rivard's ap- plication for bail he would re- ceive $10,000 the next day at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Mont- real, plus another $10,000 after Rivard's release. Mr. Lamontagne, surprised,' asked why Mr. Denis was get- ting mixed up in the case and who were the four persons in LAMONTAGNE TELS. (Continued from Page 1) On July 16 the Lamontagnes left for holidays at the cottage near Chicoutimi.

About half an hour later the man calling himself Bob Ging- ras, speaking French slang, called and made his threats, repeating them in a second call. He said he was a friend of Mr. Denis, but Mr. Lamon- tagne hung up on him both times, The next morning, July 22, Mr. Lamontagne called Mr. Denis in Ottawa and told him, "tell your boys to leave me alone or I will go to RCMP." the cease political activity or to leave Spain, and accepted the TREMBLAY TO TESTIFY Dorion Inquiry List Released OTTAWA i ate gy 9 proceedings. against 'Lucien tion Minister Tremblay among 14 persons who will 'be a Ba get Omer called as witnesses before the | court clerk at the Dorion inquiry into allega- | hearings.

He said this will be the shade of red for the flag's single maple Ipaf on a white ground, with the red panels at either side of the flag being the same shade of red. The flag committee's report recommended that "'the flag to be designated as the national flag of Canada be a red flag of the proportions two by length and one by width, containing in its centre a white square, the width of the flag, bearing a single red maple leaf, or, 'in heraldic terms, described as gules on a Canadian pale ar- gent a maple leaf of the first." Heraldic experts describe gules as a bright or brilliant red. The term pale argent means white.
