@ THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thuredey, January 9, 1964 FIREFIGHTERS RISK LIVES DURING CORNWALL BLAZE Two firemen stare death in the face early Wednesday as they shower water on bulk tanks of highly explosive raw solvents to keep them from blowing up. A fire less than 75 feet away from the tanks levelled a chemical warehouse in Cornwall, Ont, Firemen battled the blaze for two hours before bringing it under control, Company officials AT SUNDERLAND said explosion of the nine bulk tanks containing 50,000 gallons of solvent would have caused a '"'major disaster". Trade Surplus Nearly Evens Debt With U:S. OTTAWA (CP) -- Canada's trade surplus with Britain has ballooned so big, eo quickly, that it now almost covers this country's traditional huge def- fcit with the United States. Figures released today for the first 11 months of 1963 show a Canadian deficit with the U.S. $500,900,000. All but $15,200, the $485,- With Canada also earning larger surpluses in other over- seas markets, the over-all ex- cess of exports over imports in b=) ¢t 11 months was $319,- i times bigger than the $21,300,000 surplus for the same period of 1962, This sharp improvement was due partly to a continuing sur, : "s ove accelerating late in ith large shipments to the Soviet bloc. Exports in the 11 months were 8.3 per cent Three Lancs Heading For Scrapyard ST. JOHN'S, Nfld. (CP) Progress has broken @ senti- mental link with the Second War for Newfoundland and the RCAF. Three Lanoastt. bombers are heading for the scrapyard to make way for more médefn North Star airoraft for search and rescue missions from the RGAF base at nearby Torbay. Two Lanes have already been flown to Trenton, Ont., where the serviceable parts will be used to keep the air force's last three Lanoasters -- used by a photographic unit at Ottawa's Rockcliff base--in service. The third -was to follow. Two of three North Stars have arrived at Torbay. higher than a year earlier. In November alone the -gain was 14 per cent. IMPORTS RISING Meanwhile, imports also were rising quickly to meet the higher consumer demand at home. Though the cumulative ll-month figures show 1963 im- ports ahead by only 3.2 per cent, hg increased 11.7 per cent in November and imports from the U.S, that month were 9.6-per-cent higher. Trade Minister Sharp, who forecast recently a '"'quite sub- stantial increase" in Canada's exports in 1964, also cautioned that mounting domestic demand also could bring a resurgence of imports--straining the bal- ance of payments--unless the export position is even further improved. It was largely on the strength of the higher commodity trade surplus this year that Finance Minister Gordon predicted Mon day that end -of~-1963 figures would give Canada a balance of payments deficit of $500,000,- 000 compared with $848,000,000 for 1962. bubbles were converted to com- nts for search spotters, v flown nearly 15,000 hours in hundreds of search missions during the last nine years, The Nortth Stars, also propel- ler-driven four + engine planes, are doing the same work al- they anen't as naturally fitted for it. The Lancs' belly bomb doors were useful for making accurate drops of blood plasma and supplies from the ait. The North Stars are trans- port planes and drops must be made through side doors. The January-November fig- ures on commodity trade, with figures in millions of dollars: 1963 1962 939.4 840.7 361.8 306.5 3,587.1 3,465.7 1,438.7 1,228.7 6,326.6 5,841.6 Exports United Kingdom Other C'm'nw'lth United States Other Total Imports United Kingdom Other C'm'nw'lth United States Other 1,069.1 992.1 Total 6,007.0 5,820.3 Figures may not add due to rounding. One of the most remarkable gains was in the export surplus with Britain. ONCE HAD DEFICIT Rising steadily for the last few years--Canada once had a deficit with the U.K.--the sur- plus reached $485,700,000 for the first 11 months of 1963, an in- crease of $178,100,000 over the corresponding 1962 surplus of $312,000,000. The Dominion Bureau of Sta- tistics figures released today show that Canadian exports to Britain increased by nearly $100,000,000 in the first 11 months of 1963 compared with a year earlier, while imports fm Britain fell off by $47,400,- 480.7 528.1 369.1 207.5 4,088.0 4,002.6 Meanwhile, there was a fur- ther slight improvement in Can- ada's imbal of merchandi. trade with the U.S. The deficit in that market was narrowed by $36,000,000 to $500,900,000. Exports to the U.S. in the 11 months rose 3.5 per cent to $3,587,100,000. Imports from the U.S. rose more slowly, by 2.1 per cent to $4,088,000,000.

The folowing is the text of Mr. Wright's letter. "The Emergency Measures Co-ordinator has been instruct- ed by the Committee of Coun- cil, to write inquiring of all municipal clerks as to the date and time it would be conven- fent for the Councils to advise the undersigned when he may attend a Council meeting. The purpose of this meet- ing would be to discuss the de tails of a public meeting in your municipality, to further extend the intention and _pur- pose of the Emergency Mea- sures Organization as well as to explain the educational fa- cilities of EMO, Some months ago, a letter from the Coun- ties Clerk was sent to each mu- nicipality asking that the co- ordinator be invited to oma the aim and purpose of. EMO and in many instances this was done, however, it is felt now, that the ptiblic should be en- couraged to learn as much of the organization as possible, and the local municipal Council would be the most likely body to advise as to how this might take place." The Lanes, originally put to- gether to " for only 18 months or 80, are bing retired because of lack of spare parts. Before departing, the two Lan- casters flew in line-ahead form- ation with the North Stars over The Laneasters, whose gun St. John's in a farewell gesture. rs wn ry ' LAST TIME, «_ TONIGHT! "IRMA.
