The express was packed With weekenders returning from the northern provinces. It had left Leeuwarden in the north early iu the morning, had passed through Utrecht directly east of Woerden and was speeding west for the switch point that would turn it south for Rotterdam. The commuter train, bound fiom Rotterdam to Amsterdam was headed for the same junc- tion. The express was due to pass through at 9:18 a.m. The com- muter train was due three min- utes later. In this crucial three- minute period the crash occur- red, Coaches were telescoped and reared in the air before toppling over in splintered wreckage. One express coach careened down a 13 -foot embankment and demol- ished a transformer station at the foot of a dike, sending show- ers of sparks over the debris. Railway officials said there were about 250 persons on each of the trains. Nine of the express coaches were telescoped into the side of the commuter train. Three of the commuter -train coaches were derailed. Survivors of the wreck all told of the terrific impact and of coaches swaying crazily high into the air before crashing to earth. Most of the passengers were Dutch - some soldiers return- ing from weekend leaves. Two Britons were among the injured. The Dutch nation, proud of the safety record of Its railways, was plunged into gloom. The worst previous Dutch railway crash took 38 lives in 1918.

Conducts Workshop For London Weavers A story and picture in Wednes- day's London Free Press tells of a three day weavers workshop being conducted in London by Mrs. A. W. Mooney of Massey, who is the former Winnifred Savauge of Seaforth: Twenty London and area wea- vers, aware of the fact that their class has been criticized for poor design, met together yesterday in a positive approach to the problem. Armed with scissors, paste pots and piles of construction paper, they spent a good part of the day cutting out tiny circles, squares and rectangles. Then they glued them on paper in var- ious patterns, always with an eye for a pleasing arrangement This was the first step in learning fundamentals of color and design, being taught at a three-day workshop for weavers in the Fred Landon branch of the London Public Library, which opened yesterday. Instructor is Mrs. Wallace Mooney of Massey, a weaver for 20 years, who studied the subject at lecture courses at Banff. The course is being sponsored by London District Weavers and is being attended by persons from London and surrounding dist- ricts. One Winnipeg weaver, in the city at present, also regis- tered. "Design is so desperately needed by weavers today," she said. "It has been taken into consideration before but designs haven't been transferred to cloth to the extent they are now." Besides giving practical class- room instruction, Mrs. Mooney had the weavers experiment with color and design by work- ing with yarns and sketching with crayon. Instruction will ad- vance during the next two days. Mrs. Mooney said that when the workshop is completed, members should know fairly well how to transfer their own de- signs into a workable pattern on cloth. Mrs. Aarne Lamsa, president of the London District Weavers, is in charge of arrangements.
