THREE LONG, TWO SHORT BY E. J. "SHINE" SUNDSTROM BIRTHS THE EVENING NEWS, SAULT STE. MARIE, MAY 4, 1966 13 SOO LOCKS may have "'established another "first" cne day recently with the passage of a former cable-laying vessel the Photinia of the Stag Line of England. The Photinia, built in 1961, has spent much of its time laying cable between Australia and New Zealand and more recently olf Trinidad.

This year the ship was pressed into the grain carrying service and employes at the locks say that some of the ship's cable- laying equipment is still being carried with the Photinia. A recent item in one of the nationally circulated, news magazines, Time, hints that Litton Industries, a merger-minded firm more than 50 divi- sions is examining Wilson rine Transit and other Great Lakes shipping lines for merger potentialities. This writer notes that among other things Litton Industries has merged with such business machine services as Monroe Calculating and Royal McBee. Should it's vast empire include Smith-Corona ec any of its posible successors, Litton will be getting back some of the equipment that once was sold elsewhere. I refer to ships of the old Typewriter Fleet, such as the Hurlburt and Lyman C.

Smith, which was once controlled by the vast Smith interests. The Lyinan C. is still with Wilson Marine, and unless it has been sold could go with 'S LETS PLAY BALL 2.88 the merger. Wilson Marine is the old Great Lakes Line which once owned a number of the Smith boats. THE MENTION ol fleet nicknames, such as the "Typewriter Fleet" named after the typewriter company officials, the old "Poker Fleet, like the Ace, King, Queen and Jack, which were package freighters, brings to mind that a Swedish-owned fleet of sallies which visit the lakes is popularly known as the "Opera Passage through the locks the oilier day of the Falstaff of the Line of Stockholm brought the name of the "Opera Fleet" to the attention of this column.

Other ships of the line, many of which pass here on the way to the Superior iakehead, include the Boheme. Faust. Fi- delias, Isolde, Madame Butterfly, Rigoletto, Traviata and the Tristan Phonetics gave old Three El, Two Ess a tongue-tripping the other day. The column staged a minor scoop by being one of the first to annouce that the newly WAR MEMORIAL HOSPITAL SCHWIDERSOM A daughter, Jody Lee, was born to Mr. and Mrs.

Notice the Ford hulls are still 'painted black, despite information received during the winter the new hull color would be a beautiful blue.

THE OTHER DAY the column ran a picture of ice cutting operations at the head of the locks. The swing bridge in the background in the picture was located west and not east of the operations. Dan Somes, who recalls the ice-cutting quite well, said that the bulk of the operations were between the bridge and the old Weitzel and Poe locks with Magazine Street the spot where the ice sleds left the river for the warehouse around town.
