picting ontarios northland during the summer of 1788 a post later known as the new brunswick was established on mi- cabanish lake now called bruns wick lake it was abandoned in the fall of 1791 it was reestablished however in 1800 and abandoned again in 1802 then reestablished in 1805 fo a year nothing remained of the fort in 1817 but the ditches and a few decayed stockades shavings and hay insulate iceberg montreal cpinsulation of ah iceberg has made possible the reclamation for salvage of a four- engined aircraft that crashlanded 40 miles out in hudson bay in early may the crew was rescued shortly after the crash amos heacock a salvage engin eer from seattle wash passing through montreal recently explain ed how 5000 bags of wood shavings and 10 carloads of hay were flown to the iceberg and spread over a circle with a 100yard diameter around the plane to prevent the ice melting the aircraft a us overseas air lines dc4 engaged on an airlift for work on the earlywarning radar line began to settle into the ice and salvage work had to be started promptly mr heacock said the wood chips kept the plane from sinking farther into the ice while the hay kept the sun off by the beginning of june the plane was covered and equipped with 15 pontoons in case it slipped from the floe each pontoon was capable of supporting 13 tons mr heacock said it was necessary to wait after completion of these operations until the 40 miles of water back to churchill was clear of ice the floe was then towed back to churchill by motorboat at churchill the plane will be dismantled and shipped to new jer sey for repairs mr heacock said the job would cost about 200000 a new aircraft of the same type costs 800000 government maps cause confusion michipicoten mission ont cp this tiny community at the north east corner of lake superior is not what the map makes it out to be differe o opinion between the inhabitants and the official survey made by the ontario lands and forests department has left all con cerned with a tricky question either the people of michipicoten mission must move their homes al ter their fences reroute their roads and straighten their boundaries or the department must back down and come to grips with the crooked paths of reality historic error michipicotens dilemma goes back to the early days when all travel was by water and rumors of gold sent adventurers streaming into the area obvious landingstage for the prospectors was the old hudsons bay company post at michipicoten mission scenting a boom a tland- speculating company bought up all available land and turned it on paper at least into neat 25foot building lots to top off their rose- tinted vision the specu latars even gave the tentsettlement a new name michipicoten city but it didn live up to its grandiose title since the boom never came michipicoten mission never took the shape its planners had ordained and little attention was paid to the lines of the old plan streets followed the easiest wagon tracks through the bush lot lines followed theex- isting streets in 1853 the department of lands and forests ordered a complete new survey of the community the visiting surveyor was ap parently torn between legality and reality homeowners termed the results confusing not one of the villages roads is in the same plate as the new map shows it to be many dont even rioi in the same direction its the same with the old buildings one property owner has been asked by the department to move a building because it is shown in the middle of a planned road which in fact does not exist buildings in a similar dilemma include the school house shown as situated far from the planned school property and the church standing in the middle of the planned main road n signs that the officials in toronto actually believe in their plan aroused interest of michipicoten mission residents in their topsy turvy situation result is a petition calling- for a resurvey in accord ance with
