Hills said he ana other passengers spent two nights in Port Hardy and one at Sandspit | on the trip he figured would land him here Thursday night I chose the plane because I was greatly interested in the |elections.” (Thursday was civic election day here.) But Ald. Hills had much praise for Canadian Pacific Airline officials everywhere “We knew they weren't taking any chances flying in bad wea- i ther, so we weren't ever worried “What's more, they treated us royally everywhere.” He said that all stranded passengers well billeted and well fed, some staying in available hotel rooms others in private homes “At Sandspit there were more than 180 passengers waiting to were leave, either for the north or south. They took the best of care of every one of us,” said Mi! Hills The northbound passenger were cleared from Sandspit Sun day morning with two flights These flights also brought mail to the city, also delayed for four days Referring to the need and ad vantage of an airfield here, M Hills pointed out that a direct flight Canso seaplane had _ to turn back Saturday on account of weather, while a DC3 (land piane) made the trip to Sand spit uneventfully and landed easily This plane, which was to con- nect with a return flight Prince Rupert, Was 15 minutes late and the Rupert flight by the Canso had to be cancelled be- cause of adverse weather here Aldermen Hills and Krueger were appointed »by city council last week to seek an interview with the B.C.

A special meeting of city coun- cil tomorrow or Wednesday night will hear the result of the inter- view. 49 Trapped In Gold Mine MANILA (CP) — Forty-nine miners were trapped and pfe- sumed killed today when a river broke through a gold-inine shaft and enguifed them in a thun- dering wall of water.
