Cadets Will Train On Atlantic By William Stewart Canadian Press Staff Writer Quebec, Nov. 1.--(CP)--Next year the Quebec government will take its merchant marine cadets to sea to teach them how to practice the modern seamanship their teachers tell them about in classrooms at Rimouski, Que, For this practical training, the government has turned over to its marine school at Rimouski, bustling town on the lower St. Lawrence south shore, a spanking new white ship. The 114-footer, powered by Die- sel engines, was built originally for the Royal Canadian Navy. The provincial government took it over after a reconversion job on the Fairmile class submarine chaser to accommodate the students of mer- chant seamanship. Abbe Antoine Gagnon, Superior of Rimouski Technical School un- der whose wing the four-year-old marine school operates, explained the name of the ship, "Le St. Barnabe." It was chosen,.he said, after that of a St. Lawrence isle near Rim- ouski which once was inhabited by Toussaint Cartier, young settler of New France who lived a hermit's life there 'while waiting for a bride | ship from old Frahce. L. S. Beattie, Ontario's Director of Vocational Training, and two other officials studying Quebec's system of arts and crafts schooling were in a group, taken for a Quebec harbor cruise aboard the training ship. Since its start in 1044, the marine school at Rimouski has turned out 17 Quebecers qualified for merchant service ranks after a spell at prac tical seafaring. The school has navigation and engineering sections. Pupils need matriculation certificates for the two-year navigation course under Captain Jack Gendron, 30-year-old Montrealer, who has seven years' service in the Merchant Marine behind him. The engineer's course given by 8ylvio Guenard, a Merchant Navy engineer with a 1st class certificate, takes three years. All courses are approved by the Federal Department of Transport which co-operated in the estab- lishment of the Rimouski school. New Moves To Cut Power Near Toronto, Nov, 1--(CP) -- New moves to. reduce power consump- tion are at han din Southern On- tario. A further slash in the amount of power imported by Ontario from Quebec has brought the Southern half of the province up against the necessity to cut hydro allot ments by seven per cent. For most communities, it means more /om- pulsory cutoffs. Kingston, which so far this fall has escaped cutoffs, will put two (half-hour power breaks into effect each weekday, starting today. The Ontario Hydro Commission has cut Kingston's power quota from 234, 750 kilowatt hours a week to 218,- 300. A wave of protests from residents of East Whitby township has forced a revision of hydro cutoff hours for the area surrounding Oshawa. Ef- fective today, the power will be cut from noon until 1.30 p.m. instead of 7 to 7.45 a.m. and noon to 1 p.m. The power shortage, which offi- cials say likely will last until the spring break-up, stemmed from a steadily in/reasing industrial pow- er demand, on the one hand, and a widespread scarcity of water at generating plants, on the other. Sweeping restrictions of lighting for advertising and commercial pur- poses. were followed with an ap- peal to householders to use less electricity When the reduction proved insufficient, compulsory switch-pulling was introduced in most cities and towns. In some places there have 'been uns/keduled power blackouts, such as the one midway through Sun- day night's services at Toronto's Old Davenport United Church, The choir and the minister, Rev. Allan Ferry, kept the service going while church officials scurried to find candles and oil lamps. ; ald ducked behind a rock, just play- ing, and I did, too. "We sighted our rifles at each other, just as if we were, cowboys out on a posse, but we only fired over each other's head." He said his finger was on the trigger of the gun when he tripped and the rifle discharged. *-- ttle Ends In Tragedy When Youth Is Killed Oct. 25 at Toronto. Shown with him are (lL to r.)

DAVIDSON Tel Aviv, Israel, Nov. 1--(AP)-- Israeli troops are in full control of Northern Palestine today. United Nations observers said they had crossed the border into Lebanon. The Jews said a smashing two- day offensive had cleared all Arab forces from the Galilee area, driv= ing the remnants of the Arab "liber ation Army" of Fawzi Pasha Al Kaukji across the Lebanese border. (In Beirut, Lebanon, the govern- ment press bureau officially declar- ed the United Nations observers' statements untrue and denied the Jews had entered Lebanon terri- tory.) An Israeli announcement of the Galilee victory was made at the same time the government notified United Nations truce headquarters in Haifa that it had ordered Jewish soldiers on the northern front to cease firing at 3 a.m.,, EST Sunday, 20 hours after the cease-fire dead- line ordered by the United Nations, Israeli Troops Have Crossed Into Lebanon Lebanon, which had accepted the original cease-fire, but later was re- ported to have reopened fire in de- fensive action, was requested to abide by the same cease-fire time the Jews had ordered. . United Nations observers in the north said the Jewish units "now are inside Lebanese territory." The Jews were said to be moving toward Bennt Jbail, 2'4 miles beyond the border. An Israeli spokesman said the core of Kaukji's force of an estim- ated 5,000 men was broken, "Hune dreds were killed and hundreds take en prisoner," he said. (In Jerusalem, the Israeli radio station "voice of Jerusalem" broade cast what it termed an Arab' peace appeal from the Arab radio station at Ramillah.

The publisher said that if the deal does through it will involve a sum of about $2,000,000. Sen Nicol would 1eceive a certain amount of cash, the balance payable a year after his death.

Defection, Defeat Face ChineseArmy B FRED HAMPSON Nanking, Oct. 30--(AP) -- The twin spectres of defeat and defec- tion of national troops are torment- ing China's government. Reports reflect something dane gerously near a wholesale collapse impends in Manchuria, Of the two, defection carries the greatest menace to Chiank Kai« Shey's tottering regime. Nationalist China still can fight back over a lot of the country and could hold out a long time. But if the armies are going over to the enemy without a fight, as has been hinted from many quarters, the jig very well could be up all the way from Mukden to the Yangtze and even farther south. Some" government troops, demore alized by limited supplies, low pay and too much sitting around iso- iated garrisons, have been going over to the enemy for more than a year, The fall of Tsinan in Shan=- tung in September, however, pro- duced the first definite proof to the world of big-scale defection. The government admitted that a divi- sion commander and most of his men joined the Reds there. Now the Reds claim the destruce tion of 12 divisions near Tahushan by waves of rumors that these troops went over to the enemy and were not defeated in a fight. If desertions on such a scale are true, the most careful analysis of the civil war's future course can go out the window. How much loyalty is there in his remaining armies? Can any defence line hold, even in=« cluding the Yanktze, and defences of Nanking, Shanchai and the rich lands to the south? CATLACK GUILTY Melville, Sask.
