Lonardi Resigns As Argentine President
Landslide Hits Town
In Quebec, Three Dead
S Million Damage As Rubble Buries Buildings
N1COLET, Que. (CP)-
A huge section of embankment growled for a minute
Saturday and then slithered
inlo the bed of the Nicolel
river carrying at least three
onions to their deatn and
redwing buildings valued al
.M.nOO.OOO to rubble.
Several other persons—including
M*:r. Albcrtiis Martin, -Roman
Catholic bishop of Nicolct—clambered to safety as thc ground
cracked around Ihem and slid
■-ome 70 lect down thc river bank.
The Bishop's ■ Palace, a commercial academy, three homes and a.
aasolinc station crashed down the
incline.
Some 2,000 persons had to be
evacuated from convents, hostels
and homes near the landslide area,
with civic officials fearing further
cave-ins,
Two bodies were recovered soon
after thc landslide, which occurred
shortly before noon. They were
six-month • old Guy Lessard and
Mrs. Alphonsc Bolsvert, 60.
Brother Hcrmencglide, one of the
Christian brothers who operated
the academy, was known to bo
dead in the rubble, He was seen
disappearing wilh the college and
heard crying out for help as thc
building collapsed around him.
MAY DE MORE BURIED
Provincial police said there is a
possibility more persons may bc
buried beneath the tons of earth.
Five or six cars, two trucks 'and a
bulldozer were known' to have slid
into the valley, but police did nol
know If any were occupied. They
said, however, lhat so far no one
has been reported missing.
The mass of sand and clay Was
still shifting in the. basin Sunday
and police and civil defence official's delayed attempts to investigate for further bodies. Engineers
called in to test the safety of
neighboring and determine the
cause of the slide also' wcre decayed in thcir work.
Maurice Bolsvert, Liberal member of Parliament for Nicolct-Yam-
aska, speculated that thc slide has
been building up since prehistoric
times.
At one time, thc Champlain sea
covered the entire area, he said'
and when It receded It left 30 to 40
feet of sand on a 150-foot clay-
base. Over the years, seeping
water ate away the clay and the
sand on top eventually had to
crash through.
■ A year-old baby, Gilles Biron,
suffered serious head injuries in
the slide and was taken lo hospital
in Montreal. Four or five others
were injured sliahtly.
TELL OF TRAGEDY
Survivors told of hearing a
■growling noise and looking out
windows to see pine trees separating and drifting dawn into thc
river basin. Although lhc river
rises to thc embankment during
thc spring, there is no water al
this time of year where the houses
went down.
The slide struck the community
across the St, Lawrence river
from Trois-Rivieres while its 5,000
residents were still rebuilding from
a fire thai wiped out Uie heart of
the town's commercial jgection last
March. '   .'
Municipal officials said as many
as 200 persons might have died if
the slide had occurred during a
week day. Some 225 students at
L'Academic de la Sclc, where two
persons were killed, were at their
homes Saturday.
A movie was scheduled to be
shown at the school at 1 p.m., a
litt'c more than an hour after thc
slide. More lhan 100 children would
havc attended. ,

Chapline. "The paint was all

Only six months ago tho Queen
and' thc duke let Uic public know
that they thought the time had
come for their son to "take part
in more grown-up educational pur-
'suits with other children."
The Queen had in mind vi=iu tu
museums andolher* public-places
of interest.
One of the-most thrilling extracurricular, activities-for lbe prince
was his first" glimpse ot a noisy
'subway station. Unrecognised'by
'the.public, ne went?to busy Trafal
gar Souare lube station with bis
governess, Miss Catherine Peebles,
bought tickets, rode the cscalatoi
and watched the trains dash in and
out of the tunnels.
Gradually, the Queen is exposing Charles to the world outsidfi
the oalace walls. And if thc Duks
of Edinburgh has his way, Charles
soon will be mingling more and
more with youngsters outside th*
small court circle. ■
Recently, the duke visited hia dN
school of Gordonsloun, Scotland,
and other Scottish'boys' schools.
'The visits have suggested ' that
