MacDonald said Monday | night that big business interests, not agriculture's, are the chief concern of the present provincial government.

The conference, called in ah attempt to atimulate more industry in the area, was "go exclusively interested in bwe- iness intereats . . . that farm problems never got into the picture," Mr. Mac- 'Donald said. |Serious It Could Have Been bY At noon hour yesterday the Fire Brigade was called to extinguish a fire which had started directly be- hind Mr, R. B, Smallman's Blacksmith Shop. On reaching the scene they found that the fire had been extin- guished.

It had been built not more than two or three feet from the blacksmith shop 'and could have resulted in serious damage. Thanks to the men who were on the scene in record time after the fire had been noticed, no serious .| damage was caused to Mr Smallman's Blacksmith Shop or the Memorial | Gardens which was also very close by.

Woodville Man Wil Show Yanks How A Canadian Press story in the Tues- day edition of the Globe and Mail notes an important move for a Vie- toria County man, naw regarded as the leading polar aerial navigator in the world. Wing Cmdr. Keith Greena- way will leave Ottawa RCAF head- quarters later this month for a two- year exchange posting with the U.S, stragetic bomber command, "Though the 88-year-old native of Woodville is too modest to say so", the story says," he will help to show U.S. bomber navigators how to fly across he roof of the world and cover vast istances exactly on schedule and on target," Greenaway reportedly discovered the floating ice island T-8 in 1947 but both he and the RCAF remained silent about the discovery even when the U.S. Air Force vlaimed the find in 1960. The Russians got into the act by claiming their avaiators had found the island in 1960, also. Greenaway will be stationed at Mac Dill Air Force base at Tampa Fla. A self-taught, for the most part, aerial expert,- Greenaway graduated from high school, and joined the RC AF as a wireless operator in 1940, By the end -of the war, having made a switch to a navigator's post, he was the top navigation instructor in the RCAF. He continued his work in naviga- tion research, specializing,- later in polar navigation, - In 19562, he won the McKee Trophy for meritorious ser- vice in the advancement of Canadian aviation. In the same year, he won the Thurlow Award given annually by the U.S. Institute of navigation, to the person having the most outstanding scientific annd practical contribution to navigation. He has developed a navigation com- puter, among other devices, whichrhas been addpted by both the RAF and RCAF as standard equipment for northern flying, His numerous' papers on aerial navigation have received in- ternational acclaim, and his book, Air Navigation, is a standard text in the RCAF and is a reference book for the U.S._Air Force and the RAF. He navigated the first U.S. plane to the pole, during his studies of fly- ing in Archtic regions, which he has carried on since 1946. Since 1948 he has been attached to the Arctic section of the Defence Research Board. He has also done work with the U.S. Navy in Washington, and received a com- mendation from them for his work in that field: "He was recently promoted from the Has Narrow Escape Jack 'Starkey of Port Perry had a very narrow escape yesterday after- noon when his car rolled over south of the Prince Albert road on the Osh- awa highway. A car travelling south from Port Perry began to slide sideways on the slippery road just as it met the Star- key 'car. Jack pulled to the side of the road where he hit the soft shoul- der and rolled over. The car was severely damaged, but Jack managed to escape with a slight concussion and a few bruises. ---- World Plowing Match - The Esso Golden Flow, symbol of world tractor plowing supremacy, has been shipped from Canada to Eire, in preparation for the second annual world plowing match at Killarney, on October 8 and 9, J, D.
