Only 7.830 persons turned up to receive their second shots at the clinic which was the first of two follow-ups on mass clinics held Aug. 10 and 11.

Officials had expected over 10,000. "As has been experienced elsewhere, peop only come in droves to gel their shots when the epidemic' scare is at its worst," said Dr. Adelard Groulx, city health director. "We only expected about two-thirds of the people who attended the first two clinics to return," declared Alex C. Solomon, head of the Quebec March of Dimes.

4. Cleaner Man Swept Out Of Business The door to door salesman ho made 21 sales of vacuum cleaners in three days will hae reason to be leary of his customers in the future. Some $3,300 worth of cleaners were paid for in cheques but they all bounced. It seems a salesman for Electrolux 4422 Wellington told police he made a sale to a gentleman on Lafontaine St. one day last week.

The gentleman recommended about 20 more potential customers to the salesman. In the ensuing three days the salesman completed 21 sales to the customers recommended to him. The buyers paid by cheque but they all bounced, police said. Cheques Checked RCMP are checking the some 230 family allowance cheques picked up during the weekend when Provincial Poihe raided the home of an ex-convict. Sgt.

G. Coupal said the cheques were valued at between $8 and $20 each. Other goods were also picked up, he said. The cheques were handed over to the RCMP to check for pos sible forgery.

"In other words, we are closer to a picture of a unified Canadian nation than we have ever been before." Mr. Hayes also said that a lack of understanding by the people of the historical and constitutional position of French-Canada causes a belief that it is a cause of disunity in Canada. But the whole history of Brit ish governance here, leading up to is the history of a new policy where a basic indigenous population was given the right to survive with its own folkways and culture, he stated. The French-Canadian has the right to keep his language, tra ditions, values and customs and "the rest of Canada must realize this basic right." Tracing times of greatest dis unity since the birth of the na- iton in 1867, Mr.

Hayes recalled the discontent of the Maritime Provinces of the wrongs dene them by Confederation and the workings of the state.

31 (Reuters) Field Marshal Viscount Mont gomery announced today mat the response to his television appeal last June for the world refugees had reached 48,000. Britain has undertaken to raise 2,000,000 for refugees. The sum of $4,000,000 is avail- able in the budget for snow removal work during the coming winter and this amount is judged insufficient. Mr. Savignac said ths city likely will ask the Legislature for permission to use funds out of the city's budgetary surplus.

Mr. Savignac said the city will try for a November or December date with the Legislature. Normally, the bill does not come up until well after the Christmas holidays.

Barrette as the "best labor minister the Province of Quebec ever bad." Merger with other unions is one i of the vital issues to come be' fore the international gathering I here. The two other unions are the International Woodworkers of America (CLC) which was oust ed by Premier Small wood from Newfoundland, land the United Papermakers and Paperworkers Union (CLC). J.

Police said the trouble arose as pickets attempted to stop non union workers from entering the plant.

Some pickets refused to move along when ordered to do so by a policeman. Extra police were called to the scene but no trouble resulted. Unity Ever th loof i. 1 ij 1 other than those which havi fabric." up of Ontario and Quebec as tha industrial hub "leading to great outcries from the West of dis-criminaton and betrayal." Then there came the disunity caused by the conscription issue of the First World War; the ill-effects of which persisted for a long time and had untold politi cal consequences, the speaker stated. Then in 1939, he noted a recall of the conscription issue "which was magnified out of proportion to its real significance." Since the war what is consider ed to be the central theme of disunity is the old complaint of yuecc versus the rest of the nation, Mr.

Hayes declared. "This has indeed become national state of mind. It must be reiterated, however, that the fundamental issue is not understood for what it really is the development of two cultures and two attitudes, hallowed by a legal and constitutional system." Yet, Mr. Hayes added, Canada's destiny is "so manifest and its people so sober and decent. that unity will always prevail over disunity.

when the rain began. There were no long queues such as those which had occurred earlier. Much of this was due to the more efficient system set up by the March of Dimes on the basis of earlier experience. After the opening rush the people filed through the Hall of Honor in orderly twos and threes. No Vaccine Left in City Meanwhile Dr.

Groulx said that he' expects an announcement from Quebec this morning regarding the vaccine situation. He said that the city clinic; have none left and that he is sure that yesterday's theft from the Institute of Microbiology would lead to further rationing of the Salk serum. Before the municipal clinics exhausted their supply yesterday, city doctors were giving second shots only to children under 20. Dr. Gustave Charest, city epidemiologist said there has been a marked incidence of polio among pregnant women during the current epidemic.

"About 10 per cent of the adult cases have been expectant mothers," he said. "When a woman with child contracts the polio virus she has very little resistance to it, Dr. Groulx said. A report issued by the city health board revealed that Montreal hospitals had ad mitted 554 confirmed cases up to noon Friday, an increase of 18 from the previous report. One new death was reported yesterday bringing the mortality total to 30.

To date 233 cases, with eight deaths, have been reported in Montreal proper. Will Know Today If Improvement When reports of confirmed cases admitted to hospital are tabulated today, "We will know whether or not the improvement noted up to Thursday is continuing," said Dr. Groulx. In reference to yesterday's theft of 75,000 doses of Salk vac cine from the Institute of Microbiology, Mr. Solomon said, "The theft will not affect the clinics tonight and tomorrow.

However, it will certainly accentuate the shortage and minimize the already slight possibility of our holding further clinics." Last nights clinic was open to all persons who had received shots in ether of the two mass first shot clinics held Aug. 10 and 11. The same wul be true this evening. Following the example of other Catholic schools in Greater Montreal, the Verdun Catholic School Commission yesterday announced that its schools would delay reopening until Sept. 9.
