The Port Credit Res cue Unit searched east as far as Toronto, and the Toronto Harbor Police searched west to Port Credit. Another TO W AR F vessel, skip pered by George Green, covered the area from Bronte to Oakville. The midnight search was the culmination o f a day o f activity for TOW ARF, which turned out seven assorted vessels Sunday morning, after two five-gallon cans had been carefully placed, partlysubmerged, out in the lake. The cans, dropped three miles out from Bronte, before the alert was given, were recovered two hours and fou r minutes from the time the alarm went out. The 35 crew members taking part were under the direction of searchmaster Rudy Back, in misty and choppy waters, and the whole operation, including radio commu M ANITOUW ADGE, Ont., (C P ) nication on the walkie-talkies sup A 38-year-old Romanian with the plied by the L om e Scots regiment, nam e Sam Andrews is one o f many was under the direction o f Tra European immigrants building new falgar Chief Fred Oliver. lives at this northern outpost on the m ining frontier.
