HULL 222 - four-fifths of the new Canada Steamship Lines vessel Atlantic Superior - is spending more time in Sault Ste. Marie than expected. The new hull is being towed from Collingwood to Thunder Bay, Ont., where the bow is to be attached in an operation unique in Canadian shipbuilding history. It was scheduled to lock through the Michigan Sault Thursday night and be well on its way to the Lakehead today. But this morning, the vessel was tied to the upriver lock wall undergoing minor repairs, the U.
S. Coast Guard reported.

Three other bodybuilders were finalists: Robert Boisvert, Alex Chorney and George Calado.
50 YEARS AGO

A SWEEPING change in the Ontario Provincial Police organization in Algoma is imminent. The Sault and Algoma District are to be separated from the Sudbury office of the force, and a complete new district headquarters will be created. This will mean the appointment of a district inspector, and it will eventually involve the addition of officers to the force and enlarging the OPP quarters here.
CHILDREN PLAYING with fire are blamed for three blazes in the Sault and suburban area. One of them completely gutted the interior of a home and destroyed almost all of the belongings of a family of seven.
AFTER SERVING more than 40 years as a brakeman and conductor at the Canadian Pacific Railway yard, Charles Pitt received his final train orders on his retirement. Fellow workers gathered in the office of A.E. Leach, general agent, to see Pitt being handed orders for "the fishing special to Heyden Lake," the location of Pitt's summer cottage.
