Britain Plans To Hike Off-Shore Line LONDON (Reuters) -- Brit-| ain is preparing to push its) present three-mile offshore fish.) ing limit to six or possibly 12) miles because of political pres- sure from inshore fishermen. | If it does so, it will follow some other Northeast Atantic nations who regard fish up to 12 miles offshore as part of their natural resources. Deputy Foreign Minister Ed- ward Heath announced that in May and June, 1964, Britain will renounce two international conventions limiting British fishing rights to three miles off- shore. But he plans to hold a meet- ing this fall of West European countries to try to reach inter- national agreement on the prob- lem. At present, Iceland and Nor- way and the Danish - owned Faroe Islands have extended their limits but all have given Britain temporary permission to fish six miles offshore. Other North Atlantic coun- tries, with rich fishing grounds close inshore and their econo- mies dependent on fish, have extended their fishing limits by unilateral action. Now, political pressure by inshore fishermen has forced Britain also to act. CANADA TO CHANGE Canada has a three-mile fish- ing limit but has indicated it intends to extend this to 12 miles, Britain has decided to reserve for its inshore fishermen a strip of sea. outside the present three- mile limit. The extension is likely to be up to at least six miles, with a possible further increase ub to 12 miles. British trawlermen are wor- ried about what will happen when the new foreign limits are re-enforced because nearly half of Britain's white 'fish supplies grounds. | Switching to other areas such as the White Sea and Bear Is- land north of the Arctic Circle would mean travelling twice the distance. At any international meeting Britain has one powerful lever at its disposal: Almost all the \nations find it a profitable mar-| |ket for their fish.

A 400-foot-wide strip of Cana- dian Pacific Railway track, which hag divided Calgary's downtown area for almost 80 years, has got to go, city coun- cil has decided. The controversy has blown up on two points: Whether the rail- way should be allowed to £ ahead with its plans without city first having an independent engineering study made of the scheme, and where the tracks should be relocated. The maze of steel occupies approximately 105 acres of prime real estate in the heart of the downtown arcs, most of which would be released for re- development. The CPR and the city during the past 11 months have been studying how the relocation could be accomplished while at the same time revitalizing the city's downtown area, enlarging its tax base and increasing the number of transpertation routes to and from the city centre. Involving an expenditure of approximately $35,000,000 over the next 20 years, the scheme would see the tracks moved north to the south bank of the Bow River. CONTINUE SAME PATTERN Until this is done, planners expect Calgary will continue along the growth patterns it has since the tracks were first laid down. Downtown business has developed along iné north side of the tracks while wholesale, warehouse and other commer- cial enterprises are located on the south side. Calgary's city commissioners have said that without he CPR propoals, other measures will be mandatory to prevent the downtown area from being slowly strangled by an increas- ing traffie flow. Ald.

"'It is something that can be done at small cost over the next four years, but one that will yield the richest dividends far into the fu- ture."

On Canadian By JIM ANDERSON TORONTO (CP) -- If Bob Bowers is Canada's first Negro television announcer, the dis- tinction doesn't excite him much. "T've never thought much about it,' says the lanky, al- most bald 36 - year - old an. nouncer, He admits, however, he's never heard of another Ne- gro doing the job on a regular basis in this country. "Some people need that pride of race to keep them going. I'd rather take pride in doing my job." His regular post is behind a radio microphone at CBE Wind- sor, Ont. His first crack at on- camera announcing came from the CBC's policy of bringing an- nouncers from around the coun- try to Toronto as summer re- placements. Bob is one of six out-of-town- ers doing a five-week stint here this summer, appearing on lo- cal and network shows. His color, as far as he knows, has never been an obstacle in his work, although he says he has met prejudice off the job in Windsor, and seldom goes across the river to Detroit. So far, he has never been turned' down for an announcing job, and he finds he is accepted on his merits in the business. TOOK TV COURSE He says that perhaps if he "pushed harder to get ahead" he might run into prejudice but he doubts it. "You get pretty sensitive about those things and I've never felt anything among Set Schedule For Victoria : County Loop LINDSAY -- Schedule for games in the Victoria County Independent Baseball League has been released.

Smiling broadly from behind horn . rimmed glasses and a bushy moustache (a beard that comes and. goes is currently gone), Bowers talked about a tough three-year grind that got him started in announcing--his second career. He was 27 when he enrolled in a radio and television course at Toronto's Ryerson Institute of Technology, and for most of his three-year course he kept the full-time job as a pressman in a commercial printing shop for which he had trained at techni- cal school. He didn't even take time off work when writing his examin- ations--"I didn't get honors but I wasn't interested in marks; I learned what I wanted to learn." It wasn't until after he en- rolled at Ryerson that instruc. tors told him what an asset he had in his clear diction and re- laxed, resonat baritone voice trained by singing in a church choir. His first job was with CHOV Pembroke, Ont. Then he went to Edmonton and after working as an all-night dise jockey on CHED he moved to CBX, the CBC's Edmonton station. After 18 months there he was trans- ferred to CBE Windsor where he has worked the last two years. "Musie is my primary inter- est in life,'"' says Bowers, This interest led to the introduction of CBE's first jazz show and now "Bob Bowers and All That azz" is carried on a regional network and heard in Windsor, Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto. He is continuing the radio show from Toronto during his stay here. The main fare at CBE, clas- sical music, interests him just as much as jazz, however, and he has begun studying the clas- sical guitar. Plans for the future? "To be- come more professional. Future plans are very obscure with most people in this business."

They come on bicycles and motorcycles, in cars, buses and trains, Some arrive on foot. They converge on Britain's stately homes,.and castles -- honeymooners, middle - aged couples with children, and chaps with beards--young and old, In particular, thee women come--<droves of them, What do they all seek in the often-mag- nificent architecture, art and history of these old buildings? "Mostly, they come for tea," said the Duke of Bedford, host at Woburn Abbey and famed showman among Englih land- lords. "The duke is right," said a travel official, smiling ruefully. "In this country, as in Canada and the United States, vast num- bers of women belong to social clubs and they're always hav- ing coach, or bus, outings and one of the biggest targets is found in the stately homes." This official said it's been es- timated that "perhaps 30 per cent of the people come because they're trying out a new car or motorcycle, or something. Only 10 per cent come because they are interested in architecture or art. Tea is the big draw--they want refreshment at the end of the trip and they know that tea is served every day--all day. Almost all day, anyway." WOLFE SLEPT HERE The English are sometimes inclined to look down their noses at Canadian and Amer- ican so-called vultures for cul- ture who are supposed to haunt old structures in the hope of imbibing not tea but the wis- dom of the ages. "It's not true," the official said. "Overseas people usually visit places purely because of historical interest."

The yisitor may prised to find that the room in which Sir Winston Churchill was born is near the main entrance and once served as a cloak- room, The palace comptroller, pointing out baby clothes once worn by Sir Winston, said that the statesman's mother went into labor while on a shooting trip and made it back to the palace just in time. Marlborough, and many other bluebloods, had to open their homes to paying viewers for fi- nancial reasons, In doing so the land-owning class boosted the country's tourist revenue. The tourist industry now is es- timated at £350,000,000, bigger than car and aircraft exports-- in fact, Britain's biggest dollar- earner. Bedford's Woburn Abbey at- tracted 800,000 visitors last year. Lord Montagu's Beaulieu in Hampshire had almost as many. Blenheim and three other big ones accounted for more than 400,000 each, and some 300 others had lesser crowds. "We think they have a great effect on the tourist industry but not always inthe way ex- pected," said one official. "A Canadian, for instance, may see a photo of a castle and be moved to visit Britain. When he comes here, he may never go to see the castle, but he spends money just the same."

The Wolfe name is prom- inent on several business estab- lishments and Westerham's Quebec House, a 16th century three-gabled red-brick tructure, is in the care of Capt. G. B, H. Wolfe, scion of the same family as the general. For a nominal fee (one shil- ling--15 cents) you can view relics of Wolfe, including the dressing gown in which his body was returned to England, and also paintings of Gen. Mont- calm, his French antagonist who also died in the 1759 Battle of Quebec. NO TEA SERVED An eyewitness account of |Wolfe's death, written by one Lieut. Henry Brown, tells how "even the soldiers drop tears" and adds 'thank God Ies- caped." No tea is served at Quebec House and there are none of the brash gimmicks -- such as the installation of a juke box-- that the Duke of Bedford has jemployed to attract visitors . Bedfo:® has been criticized for his antics but even the Duke of Marlborough, proprietor of Blenheim Palace, a monumen- tal structure set in 11,500 acres of parkland north of Oxford, concedes the value of tea.
