2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Friday, February 28, 1964 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN MONSIGNOR WATCHES GRIM SEA TRAGEDY What could be more agonizing than to watch a grim tragedy of the sea, unable to help while men die in 40-foot waves whipped by wind gusts of 60 to 80-miles-per-hour? F That's what happened last. week to Monsignor Paul Dwyer, pastor of St. Gre- gory's Church, while home- bound from Rome aboard the $7,000-ton Italian liner, Leon- ardo da Vinci. The 'Leonardo' was first to reach the stricken British merchantman, Ambassador, nine of whose crew died. The Italian finer arrived at 11 a.m, and remained until dusk when rescue attempts were taken over by the Vuleania, also an Italian liner, and the Norwegian freighter Fruen. Monsignor Dwyer followed the drama for several hours ' e ef wes MONSIGNOR DWYER from deck, with hundreds of other passengers, Visibility was poor (because of sleet and rain), but he could distincly see the 'Ambassador,' about two city block away as the 'Leonardo' manoeuvred 'dangerously close' in the rough seas. He could see crewmen aboard the Ambassador. The 'Ambassador' listed badly. Two rescue planes drop- ped rubber rafts, but they were tossed about hopelessly. Two other rafts, each with two men aboard, reached ajongside the high Italian liner. The men grasped ropes ex- tended from the deck, but all eventually fell back into the sea after hanging on for several seconds ("We quickly lost sight of them when this happened, "he said). Monsignor Dwyer said crewmen. wept "openly like chil- dren" as constant rescue attempts failed ('Words could not adequately express the heroism of these dedicated men of the sea who were frustrated at every turn," he added). (as well as passengers) 'This happened about 1,000 miles off New York and 600 miles off Halifax. The 'Leonardo' reached New York two- and-a-half days late | NDP SEMINAR DUE HERE MARCH NOTES FROM THE HUSTINGS: Five members of the Ontario (Federal) Riding New Democratic Party Association will attend an NDP seminar in St. Catharines, Ont. this week-end -- Vic Ayling, Ken Cobb, Dougias Lindsey, Jim Kinlin and Stan Ibbot The seminar will deal with party" and will precede a similar seminar to be held at the United Steel Workers of America Hall, 115 Albert street, Saturday, March 14.

This may not sound like an impressive figure in view of the C of C's mem- bership total of 530, but it is characteristic of Chamber groups across the country that the heavy bulk of the work in thé organization is done by a small percentage of the mem- bership. The Oshawa C of C is supported financially by 530 éitizens (all of whom believe in the Chamber's motto; **Com- mune Bonum'"' -- '"'For the Good of the Community') but no more than 110 of them, about one-fifth, are what could be termed 'active members' ready to stand for office and other- wise perform the 1001 duties associated with membership in the Chamber's nine active committees. There was some grumbling this week within the when the Chamber announced its new policy for the election of directors, effective next year.
