OTTAWA To a roll ofdrums, the snap of polishedboots and handshakes from achosen few, the Queen arrivedThursday for a four-da- y visit toproclaim the country's renovat-ed constitution and sever one ofthe last colonial links with Br-itain.

Unwavering protocol andmilitary-lik- e timing reignedsupreme as the Queen arrivedfor her 12th visit to Canada,precisely on schedule at 1:01p.m. MST on a Canadian ForcesBoeing 707, and moved througha welcoming ceremony that haschanged little in decades.

Dressed in a hot pink wool coatand matching hat described by heraides as "geranium pink," theQueen was greeted under brightblue skies by Governor GeneralEdward Schreyer, Mrs. Schreyerand Prime Minister Trudeau andproceeded into a-- giant hangar atCFB Ottawa South (Uplands).

nity's current boundaries in 1978when it approved the Chinatowndesign brief to encourage Chi-nese architecture and communi-ty development, said Ho Lem.

'Tour years later, they wantto take away all that work?"said Ho Lem.

Lee said the blocks proposedfor exclusion "have never beenconsidered crucial to the successof Chinatown."

The city cannot encourageChinese-relate- d development onsome of the land because itcontains the federal buildingand two blocks not owned bymembers of the Chinese commu-nity. Lee said.

But Ho Lem said it wouldmake more sense to expandChinatown. "We've got less than50 acres" for the growing Chi-nese community of 25.000. headded.

"Why didn't these peoplecome and talk to the Chinesepeople first?" asked Ho Lem.

Aid. Bob Hawkesworth pre-dicts a storm of protest if counciltries to change the boundaries.

Fears reaction"The city made some commit-

ments to Chinatown in the de-

sign brief and I think councilwould be inviting tremendousnegative reaction if it adoptedthose recommendations," Haw-kesworth said in an interviewafter the meeting.

Under the Chinatown designbrief, the area west of CentreStreet is zoned for residentialwhile east is set aside for officesand commercial projects.

Lee said the committeestrongly favored an alternativewhich called for office spacethroughout Chinatown, withstores at street level and resi-dential "on top."

Mayor Ralph Klein said earli-er this week he is deeply con-cerned the character of China-town will not be protected underthe development guidelinesbeing devised by the downtownpolicy community.

By Sheila Pratt(Herald staff writer)

The Chinese community willfight fiercely against a proposalto reduce Chinatown by aboutone-thir- d its present size, says acommunity leader.

Taking four blocks out of theChinatown, an option

discussed Thursday by the city'sdowntown policy committee,"would spell the death knell" ofthe community. George Ho Lem.a former alderman and MLA,said in an interview.

"I think the future and the lifeof Chinatown would be prettywell extinct," said Ho Lem, ad-

ding the option "shows no feel-

ing for the Chinese community."

Room for officesThe committee, which is de-

vising new development guide-lines for downtown, suggestedChinatown be restricted to oneblock on either side of CentreStreet to make room for moremixed office and residentialbuildings.

The proposal would moveChinatown's western boundaryto 1st Street S.W. from 2nd StreetS.W. between 3rd Avenue andthe Bow River, Aid. Brian Leesaid in an interview after themeeting.

The eastern boundary wouldbe moved one block west toexclude the federal building on4th Avenue, said Lee,

of the committee.The southern boundary would

be extended a half block southof 3rd Avenue S.W, the existingboundary west of Centre Street,said Lee. East of Centre Street,the south boundary is 4th Ave-nue S.E.

The land taken out of China-town would be used for mixedoffice and commercial develop-ment to act as a buffer betweenthe community and the commer-cial core with the highest officebuildings, said Lee. The optionwill go to city council in June.

MONTREAL Premier ReneLevesque told "the French nation ofQuebec" Thursday its unprecedent-ed, constitutional isolation meantthe time had come to form "a coun-try where we will be truly athome."

In the most separatist-soundin- g

Everything went exactly accord-ing to plan, but a sombre note wascast on the celebration as QuebecPremier Rene Levesque took to theairwaves a few hours later andcharged the amended constitutionwould significantly weaken Que-bec. It included a renewed call forQuebec independence.

The Queen said "it is sad" lastyear's constitutional accord doesn'tinclude Quebec, but she hopes theconstitution "will be good for all ofCanada."

She made the comment at areception for more than 100 report-ers a few hours after arriving.

Reporters were told before thesession that the Queen's

remarks were off the record, butClaude Papineau, a reporter for theFrench language section of Cana-dian Press and president of theparliamentary press gallery, saidhe didn't hear the request.

Schreyer has also said he re-

grets the agreement excludesQuebec, but he too believes theaccord is in Canada's best inter-ests.

But those nagging political prob-lems seemed far away as howitzersof the 30th Field Regiment boomeda royal n salute, a 100-ma- n

The Drumhellerfield is supplying considerable coal tothe city, the total domestic supplyfrom the mines at Lethbridge andBankhead averaging about five cars aday.

It was rumored this morning thatthe miners of Drumheller mines haddeefded to go out in sympathy with themen of district IS, but later it was re-

Not Well StockedThe local coal merchants are not

well-stock- with fuel. A story wascirculated this morning that the CJ'.R.harl cut off all domestic coal suppliesfrom Bankhead and Canmore, and wasusing the full output to store for itsown use. This was denied, the rail-

Conquest of PolandCan Be Deferred

Many Months

WARFrom th Hfald'a London Bureau)

By A, C. CUMMINCS(Copyright By Thi Southam Newipaperal

London, Sept. 11

As his troops have been beatenback from Warsaw, Hitler who hasbeen flying over the battlefield haslearned that Britain and Franceare making full preparations forthree years war. How he will re-

act remains to be seen.His plan was to conquer Poland

within a few weeks, then offerpeace terms to the allies and ifthese were rejected to garrisonGermany's western wall so strong-ly that, as he hoped, British ' andFrench troops would batter them-selves to pieces against it.

All these calculatipns are nowupset. Poland's army is neither de-

feated nor dispirited. It is stillcapable bf hitting back. Indeedthe conquest of Toland may be along way off. At worst the Polishtroops can retreat into EasternPoland for the winter and keep thebig Nazi armies mobilized in hos-

tile territory for months.As military experts see it here,

the main fighting would then haveto be transferred to the WesternFront. But neither the Siegfriednor Maginot lines can be brokenthrough without a tremendousstruggle. A deadlock may ensue,but time is against Hitler.

Germany is already sufferingfrom the heavy strain of war pre-parations and, restrictions. She hasno financial and economic reserves.The Nazi air force is huge but hasits weaknesses, as the Spanish warshowed. In short, Germany is be-

ginning at the point which theKaiser did not reach until 1917.

May Bomb Open CitiesThe upshot of all this is likely to

be that Hitler may decide, as aparallel to his inhumanwarfare, to transfer the waragainst the allies into one bf savagebombing of open cities in the hopeof frightening the civilian popula-tion into submission.

However, Britain's preparationsand mobilizations for war are al-

ready eighteen months ahead ofwhat they were in August, 1914.

Anti-aircra- preparations andcoast defences, so greatly lacking ayear ago, now are complete andready, and slowly but surely thesubmarine menace will be sup-pressed.

The war may, indeed, be as mucha test of civilians' endurance ofhardship and death as of the prow-ess of fighting men. Because ofthis factor, British public men al- -

fact that "military objectives" inBritain are far more vulnerablethan Germany's. So are those inFrance. Almost since the Naziscame to power in Germany, defen-sive machinery against air raidshas been in the making.

German war materials factoriesare scattered and hidden. Militaryairdromes are without easily dis-

The same steps were taken inBritain and France, but muchlater.

Will he "lightning war" fromthe air, advocated by the famousItalian tactician, General Dnuhet,come eventually in this conflict ?

All that military observers willcommit themselves to is the state-ment, "Any nation at war, drivento the wall and desperate, will stopat nothing in an effort to snatchvictory from defeat."

London, Sept. 11 (AP)What appears to be a logical an-

cropped out in the eight days sinceFrance and Britain entered theconflict.

On both German and British

sides, the reason probably is asmuch political as it is military. Asfor the French, the considerationslikely are entirely military.

War in the air certainly is goingon in Western Europe. Recon-naissance, attack and pursuitplanes are aloft and fighting, dayand night.

But also without exception, expl-

missions are conspicuous bytheir absence.

For years, the world has waitedfor the "next war" to begin withmass bombing raids against "mili-

Algerian liberation armysympathizers, lost its bestopportunity during Mondaynight.

After an all night celebrationof almost hysterical proportionsby the Moslems in Algiers andsome swift actions by the pro-visional government, the cap-ital of the new Algeria todaywelcomed the provisional presi-dent Ben Khedda from hisheadquarters in Tunis.AID REQUESTED

Not only did Khedda and hisministers move swiftly Mondayto complete their plan to flyhere this afternoon, but theyasked the French to continue tokeep their troops and electrifiedfence in operation along theTunisian and Libyan borders toprevent 40,000 FLN troops inthose countries from enteringAlgeria. In addition of course,Khedda long ago saw that hismen were placed in majorcentres of control in Algeriawhile Ben Bella was spendingfive years in a French prisonduring the civil war.

Public support for Ben Khed-da and the GPRA, provisionalgovernment, which Tunisia'sPresident Bourguiba gaveMonday, and the active effortsunder way today by Nasser'sministers, Ali Sabry to workout a rapprochement with BenBella in Libya, has helued totin the balance towards BenKhedda.

(However, an AssociatedPress dispatch says that thethreat of a civil war hangsover Algeria. Mutinous guer-rillas toyal to Ben Bella werereported massing outside A-

lgiers.)And in Algeria, after an even-

ing of some tension, among theprovisional executive al the ad-

ministrative capital of RocherNuir outside Algiers, which an-ticipated attack, there appearsto be too much enthusiasm forindependence and peace to sup-port an uprising by the Mos-lem colonels.CHANTING MOSLEMS

came on deck and within twominutes she had sunk," saidone of the 14 persons rescuedfrom the Brandenburg. Theysaid two women passengersand two stewardesses wereamong the 32 persons aboard.

Pilots said the ship proba-bly struck the bow section ofthe 13,600-to- n Texaco Carib-bean, which exploded andsank Monday after a collisionwith a Peruvian freighter.

The Bradenburg was carry-ing machinery and casegoods from Antwerp, Belgiumto the West Indies.MESSAGE BRINGS AID

A garbled distress signalbrought fishing boats and life-boats to the area of the straitthat sailors call "PiccadillyCircus" because of heavytraffic. A pilot vessel fixedbuoys to the sunken stern ofthe Texaco Caribbean andpulled two life rafts from theBrandenburg and their occu-pants from the water.

While RAF helicopters andseveral coastal lifeboatsjoined the search for survi-vors they circled in the samewaters where eight Italiansstill are missing from the col-lision of the Texaco Cari-bbean with the 9,481-to- n

freighter Paracas. The ensu-ing explosion shattered win-dows 20 miles away.

Trudeauin newplea

By J. R. WalkerISouthsm News Services

NEW DELHI Canada,as well as India, may befaced with the difficultquestion of whether to re-main in the Common-wealth if it begins tobreak up at Singapore,Prime Minister Trudeauindicated today.

He seemed to raise thepossibility himself at botha press conference and ata meeting with studentsfrom Nehru University,as his visit to India wascomrng to an end, and heprepared to fly to theCommonwealth confer-ence at Singapore.

At the same time, both heand Prime Minister IndiraGandhi of India expressedtheir concern again over thedangers to the Common-wealth from Britain's pro-posed sale of arms to SouthAfrica.

The Canadian leader urgedMrs. Gandhi and the countryto rally around the Common-wealth and help preserve it.

Asked at the student ques-tion and answer sessionwhether Canada would with-draw from the Common-wealth if the South Africanarms issue forced some Afri-cans to leave, Mr. Trudeauwould make no categoricalstatement, saying everyoneshould keep their optionsopen.CHAIN REACTION

But he said that "if a suffi-cient number of countries dowithdraw, a chain reactionwill be set in motion and then'some other countries, perhapsCanada, "will want to be aspure as the others".

Later at the press confer-ence, he was asked whetherPrime Minister Gandhi in hertalks with him this morning,had indicated the active sup-port in search for an accom-modation between Britain andAfrican members which Can-ada would like to see at theSingapore conference.

"I would hope so," hesaid," because I feel India isnot anxious to see the Com-monwealth break up.

"I think she will do what,she can to prevent it. But shewill be in a difficult position,like us, if this chain reactionbegins"

He did not elaborate oil ei-

ther remark, both of whichcame at the very end of thesemeetings.POSSIBILITY

More than 300 electricalworkers today accepted a newcontract with the ctiy, mark-ing the end to a turbulent 12months in City Hall labor re-

for the International Brother-hood of Electrical Workers,confirmed that the union hadaccepted a conciliation off-icer's recommendation but re-

later this month.The settlement will likely

two years. The workers hadoriginally been close to agree-ment in er whenthe city offered ahike on Jan. 1 this year anda further pay boostnext year.

Top rate for city electri-cians now is $4.87 an hour.

Talks with the conciliationofficer have continued sincethen but it is probable the fi-

The electricians were thelast major civic labor groupinvolved in contract negotia-tions. The pattern for settle-ments was set late in thespring when 1,300 outsideworkers agreed to acceptraises of 14 per cent and 5

per cent in a two-ye- agree-ment after they threatenedstrike action.

During the fall, 1.000 insideworkers and 700 bus driversalso agreed to settlementsthat would increase theirwages by 19 per cent over atwo-ye- period.

Alderman Jack Davis hasdecided to step out of the fir-

A Herald report Saturdayshowed that the aldermanmissed almost 30 per cent ofhis committee meetings.

It was followed by a torrentof "acid phone calls" fromcitizens who accused Aid.Davis of not paying attentionto his duties and challengedhis right to continue receivingan aldermanic salary.

The alderman reacted bytelling City Council Mondayhe is quitting as

of the Canadian Federat-ion of mayors and munici-palities, national chairman ofthe CFMM pollution commit-tee and a member of theprovincial advisory board onpollution.HELP RECORD

The Herald report, but the in-

formation was not a goodway of reporting aldermanicactivities.

"All but one of the meet-ings I missed last year werebecause of the provincial andnational meetings."

The Herald story explainedthat the list of absenteeismdid not take into account at-tendance by aldermen at auto-nomous bodies such as hospi-tal boards, Calgary Exhibitionand Stampede Board, zoologi-cal society, Heritage ParkSociety and the police com-mission. Nor did it make al-

lowances forjneetings whichaldermen missed becausethey were engaged in othercity business.

Mayor Rod Sykes criticizedthe story as being incompleteand misleading.

"The report (from the cityclerk's office) was not in-

tended to be a complete re-

port of aldermanic attend-ance at all boards," he said.

The published informationhad done an injustice to all ofcouncil, the mayor contended.He expressed regret that Aid.Davis had decided to resignfrom his duties at the provin-cial and federal level.

Edmonton Journal (1903-2010)The Edmonton Journal began in 1903 just prior to the establishment of Alberta as a Canadian province. It started as a 4-page paper for trappers and early settlers and quickly emerged as the leading daily in town. Chronicling Edmonton’s history, the Journal became a conservative advocate for the interests of Canada and the west. They were passionate supporters during the nascent town’s unsteady growth throughout the decades to the affluent, populous city it became. The Edmonton Journal coverage includes local, national and international events such as the birth of the province in 1905, both World Wars, Edmonton’s devastating Black Friday tornado of 1987, the death of beloved Princess Diana, and the trade and retirement of The Great One, Wayne Gretzky. In 1938, the Pulitzer Prize for public service was awarded to The Edmonton Journal ‘for its leadership in the defense of the freedom of the press in the Province of Alberta.’

THE NEED FOR NEWSIn an era where local news coverage has been on the decline, historical regional papers can transport students and researchers to another time where smaller newspapers served as the informational hub of the community. Stories about neighborhood personalities, town events, city politics, schools, agriculture, commerce and other local business aren’t available anywhere else.

Additionally, regional newspapers reveal local perspectives on national and international affairs for insight on how everyday lives are impacted and influenced by the issues and events that dominate the headlines of major metropolitan papers.
