To be built in Grand Bend
This air cushion icebreaker platform design for the Canadian Coast Guard ship Montcalm is
shown in'this artist's concept from Bell Aerospace Canada Division of Textron Canada Ltd.,
Grand Bend. Developed under contractto the Air Cushion Vehicle Division, Marine
Administration, Trapsport Canada, the concept is a result of tests with models and full scale
ACV icebreakers. The platform is 53 feet wide by 32 feet long and is designed to provide •a
variety of weights and cushion pressures. Water pumped into the platform's ballast tanks give
it an operating weight range from 170,350 to 365,000 pounds,with cushion pressures from .7 to
• 1.5 pounds per square inch. If built;the platform would be used for full scale evaluations of the
concept. Model tests have shown that an ACV platform provides significant improvement in the
capabilities of an icebreaking ship.

Dublin convent closed
Sisters leaving at the end of June
Happiness and sadness
mingled on Sunday May 18
when Sisters of the Ursuline
Order gathered at Dublin to
mark the closing in June of St.
Patrick .—Ursula's Convent.
Happiness stemmed from the
reunion with old associates at
the convent and sadness that,
as a convent it was passing into
history.
At the end of June the
four remaining Sisters leave,
Sister Florence Kelly, principal
of St. 'Patrick's school, who
goes to the Ursuline Convent in
Stratford but will commute to
Dublin. The classrooms, in the
old continuation school portion
of the building are to be still
used as a 'kindergarten. The
other sisters go to Chatham and
Parkhill.
While there is regret
at the closing of the convent
which hasbeen forced due to
econci-nics and as the principal 1

use and be taken over by the

Sunday morning Rev. Gordon
Dill, pastor of St. Patrick's
Dublin and Rev. Joseph
O'Rourke of Stratford held a
special mass for the forty-five
sisters who returned, some had
lived and taught at Dublin,
while others were local girls
who had attended school here
and joined the Ursuline Order.
' The parish contributed richly
to the life of their church. Some
fifteen men entered the
priesthood and over thirty
'women became nuns of the
Ursuline Order. Among the
first pupils: was 'the Rt. Rev.
Joseph Feeney of St. Michael's
Church, London. As well many
other students entered
professional life and the world
of business in which they gave
valued service. Their success
was attributed to the splendid
start given to them
scholastically by the convent
sisters. ' '
Music was even.then a part of
the curriculum and they had
two music teachers with two;f
pianos, even in those days.
