Soviet authorities in their state- j ments about these men.The Burgess - Maclean case jumped back into the headlines I here as a major political issue.\\ following the press statement and ! brief interview given by the two men.,,\t,\t, ,\t, ,,\t, Several persons in the village | weather should ground the plan- ,)f Trnk,., U1,\u201e, mlshe(, hcn(,.\"h rs convoy trucks or trams pro.|!in ava,.inch,.there, reports said.bably would speed the supplies\t____ to Italy.The sun broke nut over most !

ment of our natural resources.\u2019 Mr.Halliday said immigration dropped more than 30 per cent last year, representing a decline of 54,000 immigrants from the 1954 total, He told some 2,000 delegates the 1955 influx of slightly more than 100,000 Canadians was the lowest in four years.\u201cIf the trend goes on,\u201d he said, \u201cthe pace of our economic expansion will slow down .a .policy of aggressive, selective immigration is needed; selective soi as not to disturb our present i working force.These new Cana-; dians have brought new skills and industries to us aad have] Three Die In Toledo Explosion Toledo, Ohio.\t¦*- An ex- plosion of unknown origin rocked a three-block downtown area early today and police said three persons were kilted.They said 10 to 12 others were believed buried in the debris, Officers said only one person was rescued alive.The only dead person identified was listed as Paul Borehering, 50.Toledo safety director George Gray estimated that Die damage from the explosion might reach $500,000.Observers reported the blast centered in a meat packing company at the edge of the down town district.Some persons were reported trapped in sleeping rooms above the packing rooms and in adjoining shops.Several buildings nearby used as sleeping quarters by transients also were reported damaged.Firemen said Ihey believed the blast may have been caused by ammonia gas from refrigerating units.Many cars and trucks parked in the area were reported wrecked.The force of the blast blew out, windows in nearby stores.Police blocked off a two-block area to prevent, looting.Today's Chuckle There\u2019s one thing to he said for ignorance\u2014it sure causes a lot of interesting arguments.Ike Gels Report Tomorrow Washington.- (AT)\u2014 President Eisenhower\u2019* doctors will give him a new medical report tomorrow which he will study in deciding whether to seek re election.In advance of report mg to the president, the physician* who ex amined him Saturday will h« loiued- by Dr.Paal Dudley White lor a analysis of results of the tests.While, Boston specialist who has been chief consultant on the case since Eisenhower's Sept.24 heart attack, i* scheduled to arrive here late Tuesday morning from tlie west coast.There he ha* been trying to record the heart beat of great grey whales for e< mpai iron with human 'heart performance.Wlwtc said at San Diego, Calif., Sunday the experiment hasn't succeeded thus far, but that he will try again at a time not yet fixed.Alter Eisenhower receives the j doctors' report, their findings will be made public, either late Tuesday or Wednesday morning.About mid-week the president will lly to Thomasville, Ga,, to spend several days at the 600-acre plantation of Treasury Sec j rotary George Humphrey.Eisenhower told a press eon ferenee last week he should have enough information by March 1 to make a decision on whether j to seek a second term.I tie medical tests he completed during a 70 minute stay at the army\u2019s Waller Reed Hospital Sat-| urday were his first, on an exhaustive basis since mid December.His pulse and blood pressure are : cheeked daily, however.Both White and the president\u2019s : personal physician, Maj.- Gen, I tower M.Snyder, have said they I eel they should not advise Eis-cnhowci whether to bid for a second term.They have taken the ! position he must make that decision on his own after being briefed on his condition.Economy Growth Essential made possible a rate of economic expansion we would not have achieved without them.\u201d Mr.Halliday also urged the government to give railways more freedom in setting freight rates.Completion of the St.Lawrence seaway, he said, would bring about \u201csubstantial changes\u201d in rail rates between eastern and western Canada.CLA manager YV.J.LeGlair said Canada\u2019s current economic success \u201cis due to a world-wide surge of employment.\u201d Unfortunately, he added, a degree of inflation is worrying all countries.\".The curse of inflation,\u201d Mr.LcClair said, \u201cis that it needs continued inflation to perpetuate its benefits.And the evidence of history against, such a future is all too patient.\u201d He suggested greater expenditures on trade promotion and on research as means of offset ting the inflationary trend.The federal government must recognize it has responsibility to the forest industry from which it draws \u201cvast taxation revenues,\u201d Mr.LcClair said, adding thatj provincial governments \"must be made commercial minded.\" Montreal (l>\u2014Canada's lumber production hit a record high ol 7,750,000,000 board feet in 1955, the 481 h annual convention of the Canadian Lumbermen's Association was told today.CLA manager W.J.LeClair told the opening session of the three day convention that last year\u2019s total output was 848,000,-000 board feet higher than the 1954 figure.Canada's lumber exports also set a record last year, totalling 4,893,721,000 board feet in 1955, compared with 4,049,452,000 the previous year.In his annual report the CLA manager said this country\u2019s lumber industry may not find 1956 as lucrative as last year because of mounting production costs and increasing competition from lumber substitutes.However, Mr.LeClair termed the 1956 prospects \u201cgood\u201d on the bases of projects such a* the St.Lawrence seaway, the Quebec-Labrador railway, oil development in western Canada and crosscountry pipeline construction\t* t Two- SHERBROOKJS DAILY RECORD.MONDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1936\t- NORTH HATLEY Jubilee H*ll Committee present* Rand Male Chorus, Tues.Feb.21, 8 p.m.Adm.50c.ECZEMA ITCH To quickly clear your skin of embtr-external blemUhee.IcMme, Raeh.Plmplee.Uchinf, Oraeklnr.Peeling Skin or Foot Itch get new eelentlRe, antiseptic, healing, germ killing NTXODERM from druggist today.Use NIXODERM tonight, for a clearer, softer, smoother skin tomorrow.Satisfaction or money hack trial offer.Don't suffer from a bad skin any longer.Get NIXODERM today.« NEW Successful Party Sponsored By Rock Island Lodge Rock Island \u2014 A delightful flower garden whist party was held in the I.O.O.F.hall in West \\ Park sponsored by the Crystal ; Rebekah Lodge, No.14, for ben- [ efit of the Rebekah Assembly | President\u2019s project of a freezer for the Edith Kathan Home.Prizes were won by Mr.and , Mrs.Douglas Johnson, Raymond | Curtis and Leo Demick for highest score, and to Mrs.Florence Sevright, Mrs.Cora Curtis, Miss i Mildred Blake and Mrs.Fred j Baker, the consolation.Refreshments were served after the game.'Phe party was under the con- j venership of Sister Madeline Curtis, and Sister Ida Haselton, with Sister Ida Haselton and Sister Avis Muir, donating the prizes.The lodge plans another flower garden whist party in the hall, on Monday evening, February 27.In addition to the proceeds of the party, donations of money was received, one from a friend in Montreal.[ Theyll Do It Every Time \u2014- By Jimmy Hatlo] KnOWltOO MolHfifS Organize Guild Association THIS OHS IS FROM JUNIOR'S UNivERsrry-THEy vwintme ON THE BUILDING FUND COMMITTEE\u2014THIS ONE IS FCOM GRENADINE'S college THEy WANT A DONATION FOR 4 NEW LiBR4l?y\u2014\u2022 CHEDDdR\u2019S PREP SCHOOL IS SELLING 450 CH4NCES FOR 4 C4R\u201cC6ULP//) they mould send the CHILDREN TO DIFFERENT , ,, PRTV4TE SCHOOLS \u2014IT'S m NOT THE INITI4L COST-rr\u2019S THE KEEP-UP/ USED TO BE THE KIDS WROTE HOME FOR DOUGH-] NOW THE SCHOOL BIG* A WHEELS DO IT, TOO\u2014 I\u2019M 4FR4ID TO OPEN THIS ONE\u2014ITS FROM SH4LI/M4R\u2019S NURSERY SCHOOL-TWEYRE PR0B48LY BUILDING 4 NEW J 4IR-STRIPOR «II SOMETHING- & «fOR < ŸAY\\HG THI50UGH THE SCHN0Z0L4 FOR THE KIDS' HIGHER EDUCATION \u2014 THAiiJC AHO 4 HP OF tue.H4JLP MAT TO johm xumtCK, 'coueteTOM?Sherbrooke 1 Belgium.DANA ANBREWS-PIPER LAURIE \u2022 *0 * HfViUN VV'UIAV I At V AN\t1er _ NOW' On Our Screen.'
