bus missing overnight in a biz
card was found shortly before
noon today. The occupants had
spent the night in the vehicle
but all were reported in good

desolate road between Selkirk
and st. Charles. about H. miles
west of here.
Eighteen children and the
driver, Stirling Burke of For
tune. were on board. It had
left Souris yesterday with "a
children, ranging in age from
6 to 16. Six apparently had
been dropped off at their
homes.
One report was that the bus
stalled when 1t broke a wheel
trying to get through q drift.
Along the side. of the road the
drifts reached the level Of the
telephone wires.
The bus was found by two
snoWplows which set out to
cover the entire 30-mile route
the bus would take. The bus
and its occupants were taken
to nearby Fortune.
Near Bedeque a snowplow
crew rescued A. T. Ceretti, 81,
who had been trapped over
night in his car. He was in
poor condition.

A little over a year ago, with
shaking hands and in a voice

that he was about to seek the
high office which today was
his.

would not be so severe.

Since then Mr.. Khrushchev

The press has been full of
expressions of hope that better
