The acclamations are the first in a federal general election since 1980 when there also were two. They leave 896 candidates in the race. Newest withdrawal was that of Jacques Trempe, nominated as Progressive Conservative candi- date for St. Hyacinthe-Bagot in the Aug. 10 election. His retirement gave an acclamation to Joseph 'ontaine, Liberal member of the last Commons, who was declared elected. Nelson Castonguay, chief elec- toral officer, announced Mr. Trempe's withdrawal here. The other acclamation went to also a Liberal member of the last House.

Ancient Greek and Roman chron- icles mentioned the "Sybil's Grotto" where the prophetess,: one of 10 famed sybils, served as oracle for their gods. By mediaeval times, the sybil on this mountain had become known to minstrels as a queen of peerless beauty. Andrea da Barberino, a 14th century Tuscan writer, described how his hero discovered a shapely young queen surrounded by ai '"'thoroughly licentious'" court in the grotto. He gave directions for finding the cave and set off a rush to the site. Prof. Desonay is convinced that a magnificent grotto, with water- falls, natural rock bridges and lofty ceilings, high on the moun- tain served as a basis for the legends.

Here's what happened: The parcels had originally been distributed to hungry East Ger- mans and East Berliners by the American-sponsored aid campaign. But when these people tried to take them home, the parcels were confiscated by Communist police. With the seized food the Com- munists opened their own aid sta- tions for 'West Berlin's needy." Today some West Berliners went over to join the East Berlin que- ues, and when they had received the Red "gifts," they trekked back to the West stations and deposited them with the request they be "given back to their rightful own- ers, the needy East Germans."

An official announcement said a request from The Weekly to con- tract with the army newspaper Stars and Stripes for use of the latter's distribution facilities throughout the European command had, been approved. The army ordered Overseas Weekly off its bookstalls last May because its contents were "not con- sidered as benefitting the morale and welfare of the command."

Bigs, 82, has cast anchor in Kamloops where he lives with his wife, daughter and son-in-law and two grandchildren. Master of sail, he holds a master's square-rigged ticket of higher competency. He once took a sailin sghip through the Straits of Magellan, which is a short cut for steamers around the southern tip of South America but is not considered suitable for sail. On a West African trip years ago he took a baby parrakeet from its nest, and the bird has been his constant comaniopn since. Durin the depression years of the 1930s he was instrumental in helping hundreds of Canadian youths to get to England to join the Royal Air Force. His old friend, Dr. E. C. Hart, then coro- ner in Victoria, figured to give a physical check-up to my boys for $2 each," says Captain Biggs. The news got around and boys came from many parts of Western Canada.

A spokesman for the Adams firm estimated his company's loss at $100,000. No estimate of the Bond's loss was available but firemen said it would probably depend on how badly the block itself is damaged. Firefighters battled the outbreak for an hour and a quarter. Fire- men George Bridget and Ted Nicholson were overcome by smoke -and fumes but were revived on the spot. Fireman Reg Saunders, struck on the head by a falling fragment of a built-up canopy, was taken to hospital. Officials believe the fire started in the canopy at the front of the Bond store. Palm Trees Grew In Alberta CALGARY (CP)--Visitors to Cal- gary's famous St. George's Island soon will get an even better idea of what Aberta looked like sev- eral thousand years ago than they do now. John Kanerva, who has con- structed the zoo's multitude of re- created prehistoric animals, will soon complete a masterfully- painted fresco on the wall of the fossil house. Kanerva"s magic brush and spatula have produced a realistic : scene depicting life in the ancient era of the cavemen and the sabre- toothed tigers. This prehistoric life has been re-incarnated in shades .| the palm was common in this part of grey, varying from near-black to a chalklike white. Mountains, rivers and trees make a familiar landscape. The palm trees seem out of place in an Al- berta scheme, but scientists sav of the world 50,000 years ago. Kanerva's next undertaking will be a model of a "gorosaurus lib- ratus," one of "Prehistoria's" strange animals.
