Air Sea Rescue could find no report of any plane missing, although Jefferd said: “I have a feeling there is something up there but whatit is I don’t know.

“Nobody actually saw the aircraft come down but there seem to be enough reports that there is something going on there.”

Friday an Air Sea Rescue plane from. 442 Squadron Comox began checking under perfect weather conditions for a search.

Early reports were that the crew of the Buffalo aircraft could find no wreckage and rescue coordinator Jefferd said that reports of an air- craft were still coming in. However, he said these reports just added to the confusion as it was clear that several of them referred to the aircraft that was doing the searching.

Hearing aid centre requested

A request from the Silver Harbour Manor Society to North Vancouver City council for assistance in providing the North Shore with a hearing aid clinic has been referred to the North Shore Board of Health.

City council received a letter from the society last

week in which it was noted that at a recent conference of senior counsellors much concern was expressed at the lack of such a chnic on the North Shore.

“The Silver Harbour Centre has a chnic room

which might be suitable, and could be used for the pur- pose of a Hearing Aid Clinic,” the letter said.

Council felt that referring the letter to the health board would be the most ap- propriate action to take.
