ST, JOHNS, Noy. 3.—Newfound- land will hold her first general election in six years today, the ordinary four year term having been extended from 1917 because of the war. Political changes since 1943 have provided new party lines, with the Fishermen's Protective Union comprising the labor ele- agency under this arrangement. In about two weeks it is expect- ed that tenders will be called for the construction of two 75-foot boats to be used by the Marine Department. One will be station- ed at Prince Rupert. The long stretch of coastline makes this desirable in order that quick ser- vice may be maintained in con- nection with the maintenance of the navigation aids.

An atfempt had been made to jimmy the back window open, but on this evidently failing, the would-be burglar broke the window and un- fastened the window lock.

An attempt was also made to break into F. G., Dawson's whole- sale store ard traces were found of where the person had attempt- ed to whittle away the door.
