U.S. BOAT RESCUES SWEDE SHIPWRECK SURVIVORS Tragedy was averted in the stormy Atlantic when 43 seamen --survivors of a wrecked Swed- ish freighter --were rescued from their pitching lifeboats. Hero of the rescue operation was this ship, the U.S. navy cargo vessel, the Bluejacket, which picked up 14 seamen within a short time. But the other three lifeboats drifted away in the dark. Fight- ing heavy seas, the Bluejacket started a search for them in the area. A few hours later, a wel- come message came from the navy vessel that the entire crew, 42 men and a woman, had been rescued. Their ship, the Swedish freighter, Oklahoma, broke in two in heavy seas, 360 miles off the Newfoundland coast. |, --Central Press Canadian Quebec To Study Gas Import, Duplessis Promises Ontario QUEBEC (CP)--Premier Duples- sis announced Tuesday the Quebec hydro - electric commission will study proposals for bringing Alberta natural gas into eastern Canada. Mr. Duplessis made the an- nouncement following sa two-hour mee! with Attorney - General Porter of Ontario and A. R. Crozier both members of a committee set up by the Ontario cabinet to re- yout on the potential market in On- o for western gas. The report, now in the hands of Trade ter Howe, is believed to express the opinion that needs in Ontario would warrafit construc- tion of a 30-inch pipeline from Al- berta into Ontario. Mr. Porter and Mr. Crozier came here to see if Quebec would be interested in getting the western gas. In that case a 36-inch pipeline might be warranted. TECHNICAL PROBLEM "Talks dealt with the distribu- tion of gas from Alberta into east- ern Canada," Mr. Duplessis said. "It is a technical problem and it is being submitted to members of the Quebec hydro commission !who will report their opinion. The | government will then act accord- | ingly." | r. Duplessis said proposals to {ptpe in natural gas from Alberta | would involve much expenditure. | "The potential market for the | gas must be assessed and we must |find out if bringing in the gas | would be a good idea in Quebec. "We are the wealthiest province in hydro-electric power and in that Fes ct we are better off than On- ario, "There is no doubt on the other hand that natural gas offers ad- !vantages which we must consider.

"She stopped before it came out," Hayes said. '"Maybe it hurt." That definitely was not imitative behavior, as she had never seen her "parents" attempting any such dentistry.

Hydro Would Rent Space More than half the second floor of the PUC building, which has been occupied by the Oshawa City Offices, is sought for rental by the Inspection Department of the On- lo HEPC. The Hydro has requested a lease of 700 to 800 square feet. This would be about per cent of the whole floor space and would not include the west wing which has been occupied the engineer's department and the assessment de- artment. p the PUC last THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Combining Ihe Oshawa Times and Whitby Gazette and Chronicle OSHAWA : WHITBY VOL. 12--No. 304 PAGE THREE OSHAWA-WHITBY, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1953 To Open City Hall Police Boys' Club Holds Pleasing Holiday Party On Monday night at Simcoe Hall the members of the Oshawa Police Association gave the boys of the Simcoe Hall Police Boy's Club a holiday party.

Kiwanis Club Reviews Year Oshawa Kiwanis Club members met at the Hotel Genosha, on Tues- day noon, for their final meeting of the year and 1953 President Morry Reed devoted the usual pro- ram period to a roundup of the club's activities in the past 12 months. Various committee chairmen were seated at the head table but in lieu of calling upon these and other chairmen to give their com- mittee reports for the past year, President Morry in a thorough but night i ny d ) was agree to ac- cede to the request the presence of the inspection branch would be mutually helpful to the two bodies, but on the Sup gestion of Commissioner Edw Arm- strong, the matter will be deferred unta after the city offices move out. A full - scale survey of PUC needs will be made with a view to finding out whether or not the PUC meter department can be housed in the building. If it can, it would obviate the future need for a new building to house the meter de- partment. The amount of rental which would be charged hydro inspection for this amount of office space has not yet been worked out. OGH REPORT For the 26th, 1953 Admissions: 134. rths: Male, 29; Female 20.
