She smiled and replied: "Yes, Dad." The family -- Mr. and Mrs. Stanway, Chelley, Lynn, her 18- year-old sister 'Selina and six- year-old brother Mark--is de- termined not to give up.

A Hydro statement announc- ing the award said deliveries of the fuel will start in May, 1968. Under previously - announced contracts with Eldorado Mining and Refining Ltd. and Rio Al- gom Mines Ltd., Hydro will pro- vide CGE with' ceramic- -grade uranium dioxide power without charge. CGE will make the black pow- der into pellets at Toronto. The pellets in turn will be fabri- cated into fuel bundles at Pe- terborough. The first four units at the $528,000,000 power station 20 miles east of Toronto will go into service between 1970 and 4973, each unit producing 540,000 kilowatts. AWARDS CONTRACTS Hydro also announced four other contracts worth a total of $5,800,000 for other facilities at the station.

The young teacher stowed away for a time aboard the U.S. Navy's guided missile cruiser Long Beach--by hiding in the admiral's private cabin-- while it was off Sydney, Aus- tralia.

TOOK IT IN GOOD SHAPE Court Made A Mistake, Says Truscott U,S,. marines, KINGSTON (CP) -- "The Su- preme Court made a mistake" --that was Steven Truscott's re- action Thursday when he heard that the court had: upheld his conviction as the murderer of Lynne' Harper. The words were spoken softly and without outward 'emotion to Rev. Malcolm Stienburg, Protestant chaplain at nearby Collin's Bay penitentiary. "Steven and his family had expected different news,' Mr. Stienburg said in an intetview later. "But the way he took it was typically Steven -- he was disappointed of course, un- nerved by the hours of waiting, but he took it in very good shape." The 33 - year - old padre and Truscott, now 22, have become close friends since Mr. Stien- burg came to Collin's Bay last year. He and Truscott waited in the prison chapel together for the news from 8 a.m. Thursday. Shortly before 10:30 a.m. they went to the warden's office where Ross Duff, acting ware den, joined them. (See Story Page 7) . The telephone rang and Mr. Stienburg took the call from Truscott's lawyer, E. B. Jolliffe of Toronto. Then he broke the news to Truscott. Truscott then took the phone to talk to his lawyer. His mother, Mrs. Dan Truscott of Richmond, Ont., asked him whether.he was all right. Truscott nodded his head say- ing: "Yes, yes, Mom, I'm okay." After assuring the warden he wanted to go back to his work in the machine shop, Truscott and the padre walked back to the chapel where they often talk together. "His emotions had _ been drained by the hours of waiting, but he was mentally prepared," said Mr. Stienburg. "He didn't say much on the way back -- only 'The Supreme Court made a mistake'." SPREAD QUICKLY The news spread quickly through the prison. Prisoners-- most of them had been pulling for Truscott -- went to him and quietly offered him their sym- pathy. Some of the guards, too, hoped he would be freed, nium fuel will be placed in the tubes and the coolant will flow around it, carrying away the heat. General /Gear Ltd. of Toronto has been given a $1,900,000 con- tract for end fitting assemblies for the two units. The assem- blies constitute the parts through which the coolant flows and through which fuel is in- jected into the reactor. Bingham Pump Co. of Bur- naby, B.C., won a $900,000 con- tract for 16 stand-by coolant pumps and motor assemblies for the four units, and Crane Canada Ltd. of Toronto was given a $500,000 contract for 16 "headers" for the first two units. The headers collect cool- ant from and distribute it to the reactors. Speedy Return In Emergency WASHINGTON (AP) -- Two U.S. Army brigades due to be pulled out of West Germany could be back in Europe and ready for combat two weeks after an emergency summons, it was disclosed today. This is half the time men-| tioned by U.S. officials Thurs- day when they spoke of a maxi- mum déployment period for the brigades, which will be based in the United States. The same officials said four air force squadrons to be re- turned to the U.S. could be flown back and made ready to fight in 10 days or less. QUANG TRI, South Vietnam (AP)--Inside the dingy, dimly. lit province hospital, the inno- boat and not-so-innocents of the Vietnam war lie in pain and |anguish, Their wounds, burns and missing limbs are testimony io the intensity of the conflict. Thousands more like them are spread through civilian hospi- tals elsewhere in Vietnam. "When you first go through the wards, it's al*thost enough to make an instant dove out of you," a U.S. Army officer warned one visitor bound for the hospital. "'But you will find that most of them were hit by Viet Nagy fire or just got caught up in some Viet Cong attack. "A good share probably don't even know which side hurt them." In one bed a small girl is huddled, her body badly burned. Other members' of the family are nearby in much the same condition. Their house burned around their heads after a U.S. helicopter crashed and caught fire. Inside the burned home, government troops found a Viet Cong machine-gun. Quang Tri's hospital, the only one in the province, was built to handle 350 patients. It has 450 plus mothers and children who sleep sometimes up to four to a bed while a wounded member of the family recovers. A shy, solemn-eyed girl was having her bandages changed. A Viet Cong mortar shell, fired into her home on the out- skirts of Quang Tri city, had killed her parents and wounded her two sisters. Thanh, 10, lost a large part of forearm and a section of hip bone. Toronto, TOKYO (AP) -- Radio H ity.
