Today's history-making develop- ments, ending the long Mackenzie King era, came quietly, with no externa] display and in the pres- ence of few spectators. The whole procedure had a mat- ter-of-fact air.

Afternoon show- ers, Canada Asks Immediate Armistice In Paiestine Paris, Nov. 15 -- (CP) -- Canada today demanded that the United Nations order Arabs and Jews to negotiate 'an immediate armistice in the Holy Land. Gen. A. G. L. McNaughton offer- ed a new resolution to the Security Council following closely sugges- tions of acting mediator Ralph Bunche. The Canadian draft calls the Palestine situation a threat to peace. It said an armistice is a necessary bridge between the broken truce and a final settle- ment. -- The resolution called . on the Jaws and Arabs to negotiate either directly or through Bunche to set up permanent armistice demarca- tion lines. It asked for a with- drawal and reduction of Israeli and Arab troops to maintain the armistice, Informed circles said the United States has shown great interes) in the original Bunche proposal to re- place the truce with an armistice. These sources said United States delegation members talked with Israeli and some Arab delegates. The General Assembly's 58-power political committee spent its first half hour arguing whether to begin debate on political questions in Palestine, McNaughton, in the 11-power Security Council, said he conferred with Belgium and France. He is known also to have consulted the United States and Britain. The council invited representatives of Israel, Egypt and Lebanon to the meeting. : ~ "We would have rariged farther in. our discussions but a very short time was available to do 0," the x ' Canadian delegate said. He apolo- gized to "my other colleagues" for not having consulted them before- hand in the resolution. The Security Council has before it a proposal to extend the U. N. truce now in effect in the Negev Desert of Southern Palestine to all of the Holy Land. The report of the new United States move came amidst strong Israeli protests against an order for Jewish troops to withdraw from Southern Negev. Israeli officials here and in Tel Aviv protested .the order of Dr. Ralph J. Bunche, acting U.N. Pal- estine mediator, received in Tel Aviv Sunday. The order instructed Israeli forces to withdraw from Negev territory won from the Egyptian Army since last Oct. 14 and turn over the town of Beer- sheba to the Arabs. The U.N. pre- viously had ordered that hostilities cease on Oct. 14. If the order finally is carried out, Israeli soldiers will be pulled out of a section of Southern Palestine about 20 miles long and 25 miles deep. Egyptian troops would hold their present positions and the U.N. would supervise the evacuated area until a final Palestine settlement is reached. 4 Premier Mahmoud Fahmy Nok- rashi Pasha of Egypt said Sunday night Egypt has accepted Bunche's recommendations for restoration of the status quo in the Negev. Despite Israeli protests of Bunche's plan, there has been no indication what step the new Jew- ish state will take next. Israeli has protested repeatedly against giving up any territory won from t): Arabs. 4 Say a wl rs, oon attending | the Royal Prince was born in Bucking- | F | Four of a party of hunters of the Harmony Hunt Club which returned | cent, anothér member of the Club, and finally breught down by Archie Back From Successful Hunting Trip | from a suecessful hunting trip are shown above with two of the deer shot | Jackett of Chatham, who was in the same hunting party.

The bear, which stands almost seven feet high and weighs over 200 pounds, was shot last Tuesday noon in the bush time afterwards a cub, which had been following on its mother's trail, {was shot by Johnny Gaps, a sec- ond member of the, party. "By 11 on Tuesday morning we had our quota of deer," Bill relates, "and I went out to look for a bear. I went a short distance at a time, 15 or 20 minutes be- move. I saw the bear a hill, and I waited until she got {to within 15 feet of me before I shot her." "The firss shot got her in the and she never moved after that, except to kick each back paw once.

He told The Times-Gazette that only last year he had almést got a similar prize, when a shot had wounded a bear and he was unable to fire a second Shell because his gun jammed.

The group, which included eight Oshawa and four Chatham men, bagged four deer, a lynx and a 362- pound bear. ; Kehoe said he had been waiting on a runway and was expecting to see a deer as the dogs had put one out a few minutes before. Sam Vincent, who was in the next run- way, called across that there was swnelhing in lhe brush belween them. "I went up the runaway to see and the bear was only 15 feet away when he reared up out of the brush. It was a large black bear and did not look to friendly.
