Then it began settling in the water, the rear end first. "Women were screaming and several people had fallen into a heap at the front. "The bus driver was yelling 'be 'calm' but many of the passengers were hysterical. One old woman pseemed to think the bus wouldn't sink. I yelled to her: 'Get out "The driver got the front door vpen before the bus settled too far. He dived out, shouting to the others to follow him "There was a crowd around the door fighting to get out. I kicked out a window on my side, which appeared going down faster than the other side. "By then the water was as high as the racks. "I don't know how I got out. I must have dived through the window. I climbed to the top of the bus. I didn't know the depth of the water or even that we were in the canal. I could still hear the women screaming inside.

In some 40 polling stations in Germany, nearly 5,000 soldiers of the 27th Capadian Infantry Brig- ade, will begin voting on Aug. 3 and polls will remain open until Aug. 8. All soldiers serving with the brigade, regardless of their age, are eligible voters. Patients in hospital may also cast ballots. At election time, about half the brigade will be out on exercise in the Sennelager area, about 100 miles west of Hannover. Special polling booths will be set up in the field for these troops. Like other polls, they will be open dur- the full six days of voting. idiers on leave or absent on duty from the brigade. may vote at any service poll in Germany or the United 'Kingdom or at RCAF polls in France. They will be told the location of these polls before they go on leave. The troop vote will be handled as carefully as civilian polls at home in Canada. Soldiers will not be. paraded to vote en mass" and will be open for at least three on each of the six voting days. A special returning officer, Ma- »jor R, F. Palmer, based in Lon- don -- headquarters of the United Kingdom Northwest Europe voting Territory -- has been named to direct the service vote. He will be assisted by liaison officers from the services. 3 At each poll, & regimental of- ficer will act as deputy returning officer and will be responsible for setting up his polling booth. Before voting begins, each serv- ice voter will be able to see a list of candidates running in his own constituency at home. The deputy returning officer will issue him with a blank ballot and tell him his constituency according to his declared place of residence in Canada. The service voter will then mark his ballot in secret and seal it in a small envelope. This envelope is sealed again in a larger envel- ope addressed to the special re- turning officer in London. Each Yoter must mail his vote personal- ly. In London the civilian special returning officer sorts the envel- opes into their proper constituenc- ies and with the scrutineers from the political parties involved wat- ching, opens them, extracts and counts the ballots. Tabulating the results according to constituency and candidate, the civilial special returning officer wires the result to Ottawa for con- solidation with the service votes cast in Canada and Korea. No political meetings are allow- ed within Canadian Army camps but voters may receive political literature addressed to them per- sonally through the mails. For the overseas vote, the Cana- dian Army postal corps has laid on special services to ensuure that the votes get to London before the deadline on Aug. 11. Villagers Buried Treasure ers) -- An old legend and the twitching of diviners' pendulums have brought gold fever to this quiet cornei of France's Atlantic coast. The legend is that coastal dunes have covered up the hul" of a gold- laden ship wrecked 122 years ago. One diviner checked the area last March and said: "I was sud- denly seized by a sort of electric current. My pendulum led me. I could not resist it. I knew then that this is where it was, and that any digging here would succeed." Digging started and this week the shovels uncovered wood at 50 feet. The salvage workers said an- other week should tell the tale, but the fact that the wood is there has converted many sceptics. Farmer Albert Mady and his wife, Eglantine, who own the land, are convinced there are about 30 tons of gold there. The Madys checked their title to the land and were told that if there is treasure more than 100 years old it will be their 'exclusive prop- + SRY. So they called in a salvage When the salvage workers struck wood, local inhabitants joined in the digging with the promise. of a share in whatever is found. Seek Local records say the schooner La Confiante was sunk on her maiden voyage from the United, States in 1821. The records also say she was pillaged of a quantity of gold and jewels. But' the local folk preferred to believe the hoard was untouched and down the years the amount of gold has risen from about 500 pounds to "several dozen toms." Mrs. Mady was sceptical when told of the "'electric currents." "I didn't want to believe in divining," she said, '"'but when I tried 'the pendulum myself, it al- most fell out of my hands." Professional diviners also felt the "emanations" and said there must be about 38 tons of metal under the sand. The theory was that sand had covered the derelict and the shoreline had moved out several hundred yards. MAN DIES AT 127 NEW BRITAIN, - Conn. (AP)-- Isaac A.
