Driver Stranded There 200,000 Square Miles His Parish in Arctic BUS i had burned after it became bogged down the muddy fied McFadyen had driven onto off Dundonald Ave. A former polio victim, McFadyen was only able to make his way to a nearby fence post af'er his car caught fire.

When the police officer arrived he couldnt get through the mud, so he called a tow-truck to pull out the McFadyen car. However, the tow-truck got stuck as well. At' last everything worked out and McFadyen and the belongings from his car were rescued. But, police still would like to know why he had to drive into the field in the first place. He told them it was for personal reasons." A city police officer who answered a call in a patrol car to the 400 block of Dun-donald Ave at 4.50 oclock Monday afternoon found a cold Donald McFadyen of 1930 Coy Ave, leaning against a fence post not far from where his car burned.

The police officer was despatched to the scene after one of the several women living on Vancouver not far away, who heard McFadyens cries for help for about an hour, at last decided to phone police. When the police officer arrived he found McFadyen, dressed in only a suit and thoroughly chilled after waiting for an hour. His car had caught fire and the engine and parts of the body Post," and their three children, were en route to Loon Lake and from thence to Br.t-lsh Columbia for a brief furlough. They will return to their Arctic missionary outpost at Spence Bay soon after Christmas by way of a regular monthly flight to Cambridge Bay. and from thence by chartered plane for tne last 300 miles.

To visit every Anglican in his vast parish once a year involves 2.000 miles of sled travel. There is no doctor in the region. The three Whitbread children, Heather, four; Henry D.

The King George-San Area students were to transfer at Ave. and 20th St.

to a large diesel bus carrying students from Montgo-mery Place Some 50 students arrived on the Westmount bus this morning and the Montgomery Place bus carried 90 students At the collegiate a transit inspector and Aid. Wheaton were waiting to inspect the results of the first days operations and to compare notes with Mr. Walker, who had ridden to school on the West-mount bus. Except for some confusion as to where students in the Hudson Bay Park area should get aboard, there appeared to be no difficulty with respect to the Westmount bus. "The difficulty in Hudson Bav I Park was due to the fact that storm sewers were being laid there and until such time as they are completed buses must travel on whatever streets are open to them, said Aid.

Wheaton. This situation would be corrected just as soon as the sewers were completed. As for the King George-San area students, we want to put on a Witney Ave. bus and they can transfer to that," said Mr. Wheaton.

Both the transit committee and City Council had approved running a Witney Avenue bus, in response to a petition received from residents of the area, but before it was started on the route a counter petition against the proposed route had been received. Checking names, we found 21 of the residents had signed both for and against. A third petition was now being circulated, which, we hope will clear up the confusion as to just what the people do want." A Witney Ave. bus would relieve overcrowding of the Montgomery Place bus, he said. Students who had ridden on buses travelling both routes reported that this morning many students had either driven their own cars, ridden with friends, or walked.

"A lot of the King George kids wanted to find out how long it would take them to walk, said one girl on the Montgomery Place bus. A boy who transferred to the same bus at Ave. and 20th said quite a few of the students had gone on as far as Ave. on the Pleasant Hill bus and intended to walk the other six blocks to the collegiate. One girl w'ho came via the Hudson Bay Park Westmount route, complained she had to get up much earlier than usual nearly 45 minutes because she did not know what time the Hudson Bay Park area bus would be going by.

Both Mr. Walker and Mr. Wheaton agreed this mornings trip could hardly be construed as giving a completely accurate picture and Mr. Walker said that he intended to ask all students who would normally travel by bus to please come to the collegiate by bus tomorrow morning. Both Mr.

Wheaton and Mr. Walker, were agreed, however, that operation transport had worked out quite well and said they were satisfied that once the Witney bus was operating and the Hudson Bay Park area bus was back on its regular route, students would become accustomed to the new schedules. They foresaw an end to what little confusion there had been this morning.

bridge be changed to Victoria Bridge because it is more directly connected with Victoria Avenue was turned down by City Council. The alderman argued the first reference to the bridge appeared May, 1909 in a bylaw numbered 228 which read a Traffic Bridge over the Saskatchewan River between 19th Street and Victoria Avenue. The reference was to designate the location and not the name, he said. City Commissioner John Mc-Askill explained to council the use of the name 19th Street Bridge has been long accepted by the general public.

In his parish, the Eskimo live in isolated settlements, by hunting seals and trapping white fox.

Some travel as far as 300 miles by dog team and sled for th hunt. Someday, said Canon Whitbread, possibly 10 or 20 years hence, work may begin on the development of the vast mineral deposits in the region. In meantime it is better for the Eskimo in every way to continue their present mode of life. Non-Christians when he first went among them, Canon Whitbread said, his first task was to teach them how to read and write. Thus they were taught to read their Bible and the work of evangelization began.

Judgment Reserved Judgment has been reserved in a lawsuit heard in Queens Bench Court in Saskatoon involving the Dc lisle Union Hospital Board. A former minister, Frank Creighton, sued the hospital board for $5,000 for damages he sustained in a fall in the hospital in July, I960. As a result of the fall, he claimed his left elbow was hurt, and that movement of his arm has been restricted since. Speaking for Mr.

Creighton, Gerald Averbach said it was the hospitals duty to take precautions to warn against a slippery floor. He said the hospital was negligent in not doing so. As for damages, he said Mr. Creighton has suffeied and will suffer from the injury, that there could be future medical' expenses and that, if the disability should increase, there could be a loss of earning power. On behalf of the board, A.

L. Harris of Regina said the witness testified to coming into the building from bright sunlight and to hurrying. Therefore, he said Mr. Creighton had caused his own accident, or at least contributed substantially to it. As for damages, Mr.

Harris said any allowed should not exceed $2,500. He said Mr. Creighton had sustained some weakness in the arm and movement has been limited somewhat. He said these handicaps were not serious in the plaintiff's line of work. Mr.

Justice M. A. McPherson reserved judgment in the case. V5U complete or partial facilities to date. Mr.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE THREE CHANGES by each provincial constituency convention. The amendment provides that when membership in a constituency reaches 500 members for each seat, an additional delegate for each 50 members above 500, be allowed. Each affiliated local organization would be allowed to send one delegate for the first 100 members and one delegate for each additional 100 members. In addttion, one delegate from each central body and two from each provincial body composed of affiliated organizations, and not eligibe for direct affiliation, would be eligible, but they must officially undertake to accept and abide by the constitution and principles of the association and have been recognized by the provincial council. Members of the executive of the provincial young peoples section would be delegates and each club would be allowed one delegate.

The amended constitution would change the number of vice-presidents to be elected by the convention from one to three and the number of provincial council members at-large from three to 10. Added is a clause to allow the party to pursue (its) objects at the federal, provincial, and municipal level of government. A section on affiliated membership is added to conform with the NDP constitution. This provides for affiliated membership of trade unions, farm groups, co-operatives and other "appropriate organizations. It also states that applications for affiliated memberships may be received from local, regional or provincial organizations in Saskatchewan, from the Saskatchewan section or branch of a national or international organization.

These applications must be approved by the provincial council and ratified by the federal council. While the present, constitution sets a time for the annual convention to be held, the amended one would leave it up to the provincial executive.
