(CP) --Resi- dents today began picking up the pieces left Monday by a tornado that wrecked buildings, tossed cars into the air, ripped trees out of the ground, knocked out power lines and killed one CARS TOSSED. man near this southwestern On- tario farming community. Sideroads were blocked by fallen trees and downed power lines as the tornado cut a path east from this village, about 35 miles north of London, to Dub- lin, 15 miles from here. A Dublin area farmer, Joseph Donnelly, 80, died in hospital in London a few hours: after the barn in which he was working collapsed in the wind. The violent weather spread from a storm centre over north ern Lake Huron which de- veloped northerly gales of 40 to 5) miles an hour over Lake Su- perior earlier in the day. A witness said the tornado, when first sighted here, "zig- zagged"' its way toward fhe village school where 200 child- ren were about to leave, then at the last moment veered away and left the school untouched. Mrs. Harold Elliott was in her husband's service station when it struck. "T heard the wall crack at the back. Then the whole build- ing fell down. It' was just ter- rible."'

It was a do-or-die situation for the Hawks who trail the best- of-seven series 3-2. Tonight's game was scheduled for 8 p.m. EST and will be televised na- tionally in Canada by the CBC. Stan Mikita, who centres the Hawks' high - scoring Scooter Line, was expected to be in the lineup tonight despite an injury to his right leg. Chicago coach Billy Reay said Mikita probably will start, but no announcement will be made before game time. If he doesn't play, Lou Angotta will take his place on the line. For the Leafs, George Arm- strong was the doubtful player.

Canadian Programming Stressed wear a TORONTO (CP) -- Emphasis on Canadian programming CANADA MEDAL Red, White Ribbon OTTAWA (CP) -- Declaring that Canada must shun titles yet reward great merit and service, Prime Minister Pearson announced Monday the creation of a major honor--The Order of Canada. Medals of the order will rank next only to the Victoria Cross and the George Cross as sym- bols of devotion to country and humanity. The government has_ estab- lished a non-partisan method of choice. The first awards may be made by July 1 as a recog- nition of individual achievement coinciding with 100 years of national achievement. The Order of Canada, confer- ring no titles or other special privileges, will have three tiers: Companions of the Order, bearing the letters C.C. after their names, will be limited to 150 in number. A total of 50 may be appointed this year and no more than 25 every year thereafter. They will be selected on the basis of "merit, espe- cially service to Canada or to humanity at large." Medals of courage, without limit by number, may be awarded to persons who per- form "an act of conspicious courage in circumstances of great danger." They will carry the initials C.M. Medals of service, limited to 50 a year, will be awarded for categories of meritorious ser- vice other than those applying to Companions. They will carry the initials S.M BEAR SAME MOTTO All three medals bear the motto Desiderantes Meliorem Patriam, Latin taken from He- brews 11:16 and meaning: "They desire a better country.'" To avoid any suggestion of political interference or control, the Governor-General will . be the principal companion of the order and will make the selec- tions and confer the honor on recommendation of a six-man committee Members are the chief justice of Canada, the clerk of the Privy Council, the undersecre- tary of state, the chairman: of the Canada Council, the presi- dent of the Royal Society of Canada and the president of the Association of Universities of Canada. Any person or organization may recommend a person for one of the three awards. Nom- inations are to be submitted to Esmond Butler, secretary to the Governor-General, at Govern- ment House, Ottawa. Governor - General Michener, sworn into office a few hours before the announcement was made, has power to appoint officials for the order. The companion medal, to be worn on a sash around the neck on full-dress occasions, is a six-leaf "snowflake"' of solid gold, enameled in white. It bears a red maple leaf in its centre, encircled by the order's motto surmounted by a crown. The other medals to be worn on the breast, will be smaller versions of the Companion medal, with the words "Cour- age' and "Service."' The first will be in gillt silver, the second in silver. On occasions when _ ribbons alone are worn, without medals, the holder of a Companion of the order will simple red and white bar, in the same proportions as the Canadian flag. The ribbon for holders of the medal of courage will bear a gold maple leaf; the one for the medal of service a red maple leaf. A provison has existed since 1943 for award of the Canada Medal, established by the late Prime Minister Mackenzie King. None was ever awarded, in part because governments could not decide who should receive the first one and how many should be awarded. Mr. Pearson promised to con- sider a suggestion by Harold Winch (NDP--Vancouver East) that the first and last Canada Medal should be awarded post- humously to the late Governor- General Vanier, is demanded by Parliament and "the shape of things to come must be clear to all broadcasters,' Dr. Andrew Stewart, chairman of the Board of Broadcast Governors, said today. ..
