BY VINCENT FORREST LOUISBOURG It's ‘an ill wind that blows no body good”, holds true for this ancient fortress town of Cape Breton, where Newfoundland ships are diverted in case of the block ade of the Sydneys, . This year, more than usual, Louisbourg has pinch-hitted for North Sydney at great advantage to the dock-workers there and con sequent loss to North Sydney. In addition, many cargo steam ers who regularly call at the “pier”, Sydney, have been divert ed there; one, the Cape Star, picked up 11,000 steel rails des tined for Mexico City, manuf actured by the Dominion Iron and Steel Company. The ‘“Willam Carson”, queen of the Newfoundland fleet, has not only cut channels through the ice in the Sydney harbour, but three times has had to rescue ice-cut ters which were jammed. DONORS A Sydney theatre gave away a one-year pass o a Red Cross blood donor, Whose number was picked from many given out as a gesture of good will. WINE . New Waterford has banned cheap wines of the one dollar and one dollar ten variety and receiv ed assurance that the Nova Scotia Liquor commission that no fur ther shipments of such will be sent, ALDERMAN North Sydney council member Stan Cleary, who recently resign ed to enter the Mayoralty contest, has been re-elected to the council in a bye-election. The successful candidate for mayor was Dr. JS. Munro, C.P.A. King’s Road, main artery Into Sydney from the West, was the subject of much discussion by the Community Planning Association last year and a survey was taken to determine how the bottleneck could best be overcome. A recent meeting of CPA re commended a highroad from the vicinity of Sydney River, some three miles from the town, to connect with Grand Lake Road, Which leads to Glace Bay, thus enabling through motorists to avoid the congestion. This road would lkewise cross other roads such as the Louisbourg highway, which acccmmodates thousands of tourists every summer, as well as Marion Bridge and Mira roads.
