...America, set on intercepting non-I.W.A. loggers. When the I.W.A. halted a sedan to threaten the four passengers in it, the Mounties radioed Grand Falls for help. More Mounties and provincial constables rushed to the scene. Police night sticks and loggers' crude clubs swung through the chilly air. Provincial Constable William J. Moss, 24, caught a blow on the head from a birch club, died in a hospital 30 hours later of a fractured skull and brain injuries...
Doubled Income. Newfoundland's crisis comes on the tenth anniversary of its conversion from a lowly dependency of the British Commonwealth Relations Office to a full-fledged Canadian province. To thousands of transatlantic air travelers who have seen the fueling base at Gander airport, the province appears to be little more than a barren rock jutting out into the North Atlantic sea and air lanes.

Segovia played pieces by early, little-known composers, as well as such familiar masters as Bach and Scarlatti, then offered several contemporary works. His six-stringed instrument sounded at times with the shimmer of the harpsichord, at times with the dryly plaintive quality of the lute. Throughout, the instrument's miniature sounds were punctuated with moments of deep, suspenseful silence...
