176 Telescope EDITED BY ROBERT RADUNZ CONTRIBUTORS Edwin Sprengeler, Milwaukee Richard J. Wright, Akron George Ayoub, Ottawa James M. Kidd, Toronto July 29 Two ocean-going freighters, PRINS FREDERIK WILLEM and LEAPAUL were forced to postpone loading operations at Sarnia because of a lack of pilotso The shortage was due to pilots normally assigned to the Port Weller to Sarnia run being ordered to take ships througi the upper lakes. A third ship,CAPO MELE, requested its cargo be shipped to an eastern port. The INNSTEIN passed through the Welland Canal on July 28, without a pilot. July 30 The 4.392 ton Greek freighter MIHALIS ANGELUS went aground just outside the western gap of Toronto Harbor. Harbor officials believe electro-magnets used for loading scrap iron may have thrown the ship's compass out of order. Pour tugs tried unsuccessfully for 12 hours in the first attempt to remove the ship. August 3 LAKE ONTARIO, a 5,500 ton motor vessel, built at Landskrona,Sweden, for Atlanttraffice Express Great Lakes Service, arrived in Montreal on her maiden voyage. Contracts have been awarded for the building of a new grain elevator at Duluth. It will have a five spout loading gallery oapable of loading ships at a 40,000 bushel hourly rate. August 8 President Kennedy reappointed Milwaukee's Port Director, Harry C. Brockel, as a member of the Advisory Board of the St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corp., but dumped three other members. The corporation is the government entity that built and now operates the U.S. share of the seaway. August 9 The city of Montreal is seeking to acquire the Lachine Canal from the Canadian government for conversion into a major, modern roadway. An earlier request was turned down by the St. Lawrence Seaway Authority which now administers the canal. Traffic in the once busy waterway is dwindling, with only about ten ships expected this season. Milwaukee has put the city's cargo Terminal No. 2 on the new municipal south pier on Jones Island into service. The Harbor Commission authorized use of the pier on a temporary basis even though some concrete work is unfinished. Cargo was pressing on the port and with limits on space, the new facility had to be pressed into service.
