Y en Searchers comb > Prescott Isiand Discovery yesterday of the body of Karl George Lindquist, 37, has spurred a land search today for two other men missing for 10 days in the lonely Prescott Island area south- west of Prince Rupert. Lindquist’s body was found on rocks above high water mark in a cove on Prescott Island across a narrow passage separating Prescott from Arthur Island, ‘where a beached fish boat was found last weekend. Because of footprints seen nearby, RCMP today launched a search of Prescott by nine members of the foree and friends of the men. Missing still are Perry Mork, 34, also of Prince Rupert, and Bernie Matwichuk, 24, of Edmonton. Lindquist’s body was complete- ly unclothed except for a pair of igumboots. | DIED OF EXPOSURE | He is believed to have died of exposure, and to have been dead at least three days. An aerial search earlier of Prescott Island had failed to notice the body. The passage separating Pres- cott from Arthur Island can he traversed by foot in low tide, and ‘it is thought he may have taken his clothes off to wade across. Ingrid H, the 35-foot boat of which Lindquist was skipper, was found beached bow in, on Arthur Island. Nearby was a skiff, and’ further away, an outboard motor. Coroner Earl Gordon has ord- ered an-inquest and the jury was- to view Lindquist’s body today at 5:30. AS well as launching the new land search, RCMP were contin- uing dragging operations in the area. Mystery surrounding the tra- gedy was heightened by the fact: At press time RCMP in Prince Rupert had no word of any fur- ther findings of the Prescott Is- land search party. Prescott is a fairly large island, about five miles long. It lies between Por- cher and Stephens Island. KARL LINDQUIST Born in Prince Rupert, Lin- quist, a fisherman, was a veteran of navy service in the Second World War. He was a member of the Royal Canadian Legion and tthe Moose Lodge. ~- He is survived by a daughter and two sons on Vancouver Is- land, his mother, Mrs. Lorraine Frobisher in Nanaimo, a brother, Frederick Lindquist, a half-bro- ther, Sonny Frobisher in Nanai- mo; three sisters, Mrs. Gordon Rennie in Alberta, and Mrs. tions of Canada and Japan, that the men did not appear to Harold Myhre and Mrs. Bernice iave intended to leave their boat Letourneau in Vancouver, and a for long.

The judge Wis | the Liberal pary to establish a federal agency for area develop- ments would be of particular benefit to underdeveloped cent- ‘res rich in natural resources like Stewart, Liberal candidate John ‘Magror said al a public meeting here last night. Purpose of the agency would: be to direct economic expansion. to areas of the country that are, in trouble, because existing in- dustries are declining or because | the area resources have not been | developed Miror explained. FALLEN BEHIND “A community like Stewart typifies both these conditions, It. has fallen behind as a mining and shipping centre,, yet in each of these respects it shows now more potontial than it ever had.” Magor pointed out that 25 miles northwest of Stewart was the huge Grandue mining development which held a pas- sibility of rapid) growth for Stewart if traftie is directed through this port. He also maintained that with comple. tion of the highway to Casslar, Stewart was av natural choice for shipping connections with Princes Rupert and other west- caust ports, “Thts would bo an ident site for examination such as that pro- posed under the new agency,” he sald. “Tb hus all the things necessary for becoming a busy contre, But so far, Inrgely be- cuuse of neglect of tty potentials wid lack of strong representia- tion at Ottawa, i) has failed to realize Its promise. It is one of the tragedies In the development of wost const industries.” OVERFLOW AUDTENCE Magor, who was accompanied 'here by Nell MacDonald of Magor calls for remedy for Stewart ‘tragedy. Prince Rupert, spoke to an over- flow audience. Those present said it was the largest political meeting held here in several years. The speaker stressed the importance of a community such as this having active local re- presentation in a federal gov- ernment, “When ten thousand dollars was needed for work on the local airstrip tt was not pro- vided by Ottawa, and the village ihad to raise the money itsell, but under a Liberal government and with a Liberal member in | Parliament, Prince Rupert ob- tained an airport costing several million dollars.” Magor alse pointed faet that the customs office was closed ‘till recently, So Stewart no longer rated as an open port. “This is not pro- gress," he said, ‘St is going backwards, A strong member in Ottawa could have done more for Stewart", 2 te perenne mite ee nnn cee fete ee cee ere WEATHER Mostly cloudy today and Fri- day, A few showers at times mixed with snow.
