No. 194 500 Ships ih Difficulties in Atlantic Gales 20 Convicts Flee Prison Six Guards Over-Powered as Armed Incorrigibles Break Out IVY BLUFF, N.C. (AP)—Twenty dangerous criminals —heavily armed and at least four of them killers—broke out of the Ivy Bluff prison for incorrigibles Tuesday. Six guards were overpowered and left locked up. The convicts had eight rifles, eight pistols and a sub-machine gun. Despite a huge manflunt centring in North Carolina and Virginia, only one of the convicts had been captured late Tuesday. A posse, following a blood- hound, captured Charlie Edwards, 28, a Negro serving a life tenn, about eight miles south of the prison. Ivy Bluff is situated in an isolated area five miles north of Yanceyville, N.C, about 65 miles northwest of Raleigh and some seven miles south of the Virginia border, SIX "LIFERS" Six of the prisoners were serving life terms for such crimes as murder, rape and kidnapping. fvy Bluff, normally housing about 40 convicts, is used only for the state's worst prisoners. Stale prisons director William F. Bailey has described them as "incorrigibles, hardened criminals—the type you find in Alca- traz." Bailey fired two guards, one a 15-year man, for laxity. Twenty-one other prisoners refused a chance to escape despite the reputation of Ivy Bluff, where many men have maimed themselves to gain a transfer. ' The escape apparently was engineered b y Charles (Yank) Stewart, 52, serving 25 years for armed robbery,, and James Christy, 26, serving* 19 to 25 years for breaking and entering and manslaughter. v SMUGGLED SAWS Bailey said they apparently used smuggled hacksaws to cut their way out of isolation cells on top floor of the two - storey brick building. Stewart, Christy and two others got out of their cells at about 9:15 p.m. Monday night, Bailey said. They captured guard John Case, one of those fired. From him they got a key to the inside one of three doors separating the isolation cells from the rest of the prison. Three of them lay in wait behind a steel door until two other guards brought Case a late supper. They were ambushed and the convicts had access to a mezzanine "control room" which overlooked the cellblocks. GOT MASTER KEY They forced Sgt. L.E. Phillips lo telephone Sgt. George Shupe, sleeping in a guard shack outside the prison fence," to bring a master key because a prisoner was sick. Shupe was captured. Phillips also telephoned two guards in towers that he was sending new men to relieve them. Two of the convicts put on uniforms and relieved' the tower guards, who were taken hostage when they entered the building. Two guards were looked in isolation cells, four in the barber shop. Phillips, who was slugged on the head, wes .the only person hurt In the escape. The break was not reported until 4:30 a.m., when E. N. Pegg, assistant superintendent, arrived for a routine check. Cleaning Plant Robbery Comes Up in Cook Case RED DEER, Alta. (CP)—Tlie murder trial of Rober Raymond Cook focused on another crime —the robbery of an Edmonton dry cleaning plant—during cross- examination of the 23-year-old mechanic Tuesday. Crown counsel J. W. Anderson asked the cool, well - dressed youth why he hadn't mentioned the breakin to RCMP when questioned after being charged June 28 with his father's murder. Cook testified Saturday that he had helped rob the plant on the morning of June 26 after leaving his family alive a few hours earlier. The bodies of his 53-year-old father, Raymond, his step-mother and their five children were found bludgeoned or shot to death In a grease pit behind their Stet- tler home the next day. (See also story page 10.) Mr. Anderson suggested that Cook was not at the dry cleaners. "You say you took a car coat. The proprietor says it was a sports jacket." "I can draw you a diagram of that place right now," Cook replied. The youth spent 10 hours in the witness box, beginning Saturday when defence counsel Giffard Main asked if he had killed his father. "No sir, I certainly didn't," the accused replied. "I just can't describe it." he mumbled. The case may go before the six-man jury sometime today. One and possibly two more witnesses are expected to be called icfore the final summations by defence and crown.

Constable Appeals VANCOUVER (CP)-A city constable's appeal against an assault conviction arising from the arrest of a one-armed Surrey, B.C., man last April opened before the British Columbia Court of Appeal Tuesday. Const. John Flaten of Vancouver is appealing a conviction of assaulting Gordon Recknagel, a 23- year-old logger. He was given a one-year suspended sentence and ordered to post a $300 bond. Hugh McGivern, counsel for Flaten, argued Tuesday that the magistrate erred in finding that Flaten was not acting in the course of duty as a police officer and in finding that he was entitled to arrest Recknagel. Recknagel claimed he was manhandled by the police and suffered a broken arm, a broken nose and cuts. Frawley Questions CPR Traffic Head OTTAWA (CP)-Alberta counsel J. J. Frawley Tuesday challenged the railways on their bid for government assistance to offset full losses incurred on export grain shipments. The Alberta lawyer was building the groundwork for Western Canada's casejpn the grain, rate issue during cross-examination of C. D. Edsforth, CPR vice-president for traffic, before^ Canada's royal commission on traffic. Mr. Frawley opened his questioning after the commission turned down a CPR suggestion for an interim report on the grain problem alone, During cross-examination, Mr. Frawley argued the railways art seeking a new rate covering the full 'cost of moving export grain while accepting rates giving less than full cost on other traffic. He contended the railways should Five Destroyers Damaged in Gale HALIFAX (CP) - Hurricane- force winds and wild seas pounded five Canadian warships in the Atlantic this week, twisting deck installations and knocking gear overboard.

Another Western lawyer, Brian Dickson, representing Northwest Line Elevators, asked Mr. Eds forth whether, under the railways' proposal, the Crow rate structure could be changed without notice at some future point. "There would be lots of notice, a good deal of discussion and careful consideration," replied Mr. Edsforth. C. W. Brazier, British Columbia counsel, tried to get the CPR vice- president to disclose the cost of moving lumber. He said the railway plan meant grain would be carried on a cost basis "while the rest of the customers are in the dark."

INCORPORATE <*> r>*° mAv "rQ, A blonde, 15-year-old Junior High School girl captured the spotlight at the annual meeting of the Nelson Red Cross Society Tuesday night. Moira Golling, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Golling, was praised from all sides for her "remarkable and outstanding report" on the year's activities of her group of Junior Red Cross workers. At the end of his address In which he announced that the Nelson and district Red Cross raised over $6000 during the year, president L. M. McBride lauded the youngster for her report and her group for their "remarkable fund raising work." "I must express my gratitude to the many hard-working members of the local branch who perform Iheir duties so efficiently and often without much recognition. It is astonishing what has been done and is still being done in women's work," the president said. In her report the youngster said the .IRC of her school raised $487 for Red Cross work. They donated $65 toward the completion of a ward at the Kootenay Lake General Hospital, $100 toward the purchase of a croup tent, $50 to the Kootenay Society for Handicapped Children and $30 for Christmas gifts for patients at Mount St. Francis infirmary, Salvation Army and Old Men's Hostel. The group also sent $210 to their Vancouver headquarters. The young .IRC president said her organization also helped to make swabs for Ihe Selkirk Health Unit and one of the members undertook to keep the medical room lidy throughout the year. Main speaker of the evening was S. L. Hewer of Vancouver, provincial commissioner, who screened color slides and told of the work of the Red Cross at home and abroad. HELPED 600 P>1 B.C. He said groups such as the Nelson branch raised $15,000 to assist -oine 600 British Columbia fire disaster victims Ihis year. Women workers, he said, contributed 32 cases of adults' and children's :*lothing along with bedding lo help 'he peoples of typhoon ravaged Japan. Mr. Hewer added his words of oraise for Moira and voiced "special congratulations" for her report. During the dinner meeting staged in the Silver Room of the Hume Hotel, presentations were made to Tony Kunst in recognition of his °0 blood donations. The jovial Boswell postmaster beamed broadly when presented with a pin and remarked, "It's a dandy." In making the presentation, Mrs. Stanley Morris. Wood donor chairman, explained lhat the gold star donor look the bus to and from Creston to give blood at the Cal* garv unit and travelled hack and forth from Nelson to donate to this branch. 10-YEAR BADGES Mrs. Gordon Hallett was presented with a 10-year "badge of service" award and it was pointed out that the Red Cross worker had devoted a considerably longer period of hor life lo the cause. Mrs. Hallett also accepted a similar badge [or Mrs. P. G. Morey who was unable to attend the meeting. A. J. Cleeton, city civil defence officer, reporting on lhe activities of this organization had high praise for the city and district member-1 ship. ; He said seven home nursing courses were carried out during! the year and that there are 40 fully trained men who can advise when it is safe for the populace to emerge from shelter after a nu-; clear attack. j He said three local people attended CD courses in Arnprior,| Ont., during the year and Nelson! played host to a number of offi-| cials. He said some meetings were rather poorly attended but pointed out there are now between 175 and 185 on CD strength. One of the features of lhe (raining, he said, was a radiological monitoring course. Mr. Cleeton said he is hopeful of the formation of a loca! CD auxiliary police force for traffic control, and the establishment in Nelson of a radio-telephone communica- lions station. Major E. W. While chairman ol disaster relief for 13* years said he was delighted not to have a report. Mrs. Morris reported a most successful blood donor clinic year with 820 donors rallying to lhe call for blood. Mrs. C. W. Reeve Harper chairman of the Women's Work group, reported 10.800 blood Iransfusion wipes laken and 97 knitted articles shipped to the Vancouver headquarters. E. M. Gare, reporting on the part played in local Red Cross work by the Nelson Recreation Commission, outlined in written form, the activities of the water safety course j in which 600 adults and children* participated last summer. CREDITABLE SHOWING I In his year-end statement Mr. McBride termed the 1958 fund rais- j ing campaign "a creditable show-J ing" although below the $7300 goal.] "Red Cross workers in this dis-' Irict are unusually faithful and I think it is because they genuinely believe in what they are doing. One of Iheattractions of Red Cross work is to know lhat in some small way you are contributing to the relief of human suffering somewhere in this world of ours," he said. Mr. McBride said the Russian equivalent of the Red Cross, (the Red Crescent) has co-operated with lhe International Red Cross to "quite a degree" and pointed out that efforts are being constantly made to increase this cooperation. Turning to the blood donor clinic Mr. McBride credited Mrs. Morris for her hard work over the years and acknowledged the very enthusiastic support of the Nelson Gyro Club. The president allso expressed his gratitude to Mrs. Gordon Olson far her capaWe direction of the home nursing program. Like commendation was paid Mrs. T. Lund for her work in connection with the loan cupboard. Dorothy A. Peirson was thanked for her tireless efforts with regard to Junior Red Cross sponsorship.

Graphic Art Styles Subject of Display North Shore Rec Commission Elects Officers Guest speaker R. McKeen, recreation consultant, addressed the annual meeting of the North Shore Recreation Commission Monday night, | "Recreation lo be effective,"! said Mr. McKeen. "must be based in long term planning. The chief! difficulty in unorganized areas is Ille yearly changeover of personnel, but the provincial government I through the recreation commission programs branch is attempting to establish some form of continuity." Mr. McKeen blamed the lack of long range recreational planning! for the development of gang wars! in large cities. The three main' functions of a small community! commission are policy forming and! planning, coordination and leader-1 ship training, and programs pro-! motion. A film showing the scope ofl recreational work in a community! was shown. i New commissioners elected arej Mrs. G. Wilk, George Paxton and Thomas Waters. Carrying on for .mother year are Gordon Sulho--! land and Roy Burton. i Graphic art is the subject of the | second exhibition by Zeljko Kujundzic, being shown at his studio this weekend. The large number of works are divided into three sections, monotypes, lino-cuts, and lithographs. The overall technique of these methods is the same: the artist forms a design, then presses a piece of paper to it to print the original on it. The effect is one of aboriginal crudeness, yel with more power and feeling than if the work were an ordinary painting. The monotype produces the softest appearing result. The artist makes a tempera painting, and before the material dries, presses a piece of paper to it. The final result is a print of soft, parchment-like appearance and quality. Generally, only one print can be made from a painting by this method. With a lino-cut. linoleum is carved in the desired manner, then coated with paint or ink, and printed on paper. Several lino- cuts are usually used, each being used to print a different color on Ihe finished product. The result is more harsh than a monotype, more sc-ber, and with a flatter appearance. The final type of graphic art being shown in the exhibit is the lithograph system, where a drawing is made on stone or metal Ihrough special grease pencils, etc., then printed onto paper. Mr. Kujundzic uses two main types of paper in his work, birch wood and bamboo. The birchwood has a very fine grain to it, as though it were stripped from around a living tree. It is quite fragile, in complete contrast to bamboo paper, which is almost impossible to tear. The latter type of paper imposes on Ihe print a rough-hewn texture wilh strips of bamboo fibre interwoven throughout the paper. The subjects are many and varied, ranging from a bridge in Scotland built by the Romans, to a delicate lino-cut of the artist's two daughters. The exhibit, being shown in Mr. Kuzundzic's studio, 107 High Street Friday afternoon, will continue un lil Monday night. Christmas Decoration Prize List Announced Prize list for the Nelson Christ-, mas decorations contest was an-j nounced Tuesday. A committee headed by Mayor T. S.

NELSON DAILY NEWS, WED., DEC. 9, 1939 — 3^1 Associated Chambe rs Favor Libby Dam Plan for Columbia Power Development INVERMERE-There are three feasible plans to develop the water power potential of the Columbia- Kootenay river system. Each would produce approximately the same amount of hydro-electric power, but the resultant flooding would affect different sections of the country. This was explained to the Windermere District Board of Trade here by Dr. F. E. Coy, a member of the Columbia River Hydro Committee for the Chambers of Commerce of Southeastern B.C. The plans he outlined were drawn up by the engineering board studying the project for the International Joint Commission. Of these, Plan 1, involving the Libby Dam, is strongly favored by the Associated Chambers, Dr. Coy stated. The plans he named as: 1. Non-diversion in which there would be no diversion of the Koo tenay River into the Columbia River system. 2. The Copper Creek diversion (known locally as Torrent) in which some water from the Kootenay River is diverted into the Columbia by building a dam at Copper Creek near Springbrook and a dam at Luxor creating a lake between the two dams raising the water to the 2710 foot level. 3. Dorr diversion, which increases the size of the above described lake from Dorr (four miles north of the international boundary) to Luxor. Dr. Coy said this plan would flood out Athalmer, Canal Flat, Skookumchuck Prairie, part of Windermere, part of Edge- water and all the low-lying land between. He said the non-diversion plan calls for a dam at Libby, Mont., which would flood back to about Wardner 142 miles into Canada', affecting 43 families or BOO people Kootenay Indians Discuss Proposed Changes in Act CRANBROOK, B.C. - As an initial step toward planning of Fort Steele restoration to its original state as a gold rush town. Dr. Wil- lard Ireland, provincial archivist suggests the Historical Association of East Kootenay immediately begin collection of borrowed photographs of the village as it was at peak activity. These will be required toward restoration to the original state for ation of (he Cariboo gold camp of! ^ f°™^d '° «* provincial de- Barkerville, which attracted about; ?fbn,*nt.lor.*!.'?t?ratlon work 18,000 tourists this year as a side- trip from Prince George. In Barkerville's case a tame when it was authorized. Dr. Ireland said the Barkerville restoration had succeeded in creat- moose that circulated that village one year attracted villagers to photograph it and when a call for old photos was issued toward Barkerville's restoration photos of the moose in various part of the village rolled in from all directions, establishment of the site as a j which provided a huge volume of memorial under provincial parks detail about buildings so that re- auspices, as has been done at Bar-1 storation could be accurate. He kerville. Dr. Ireland had lunch with members of the association here Sunday on his way to Kimberley. Initial district efforts toward the restoration of Fort Steele have had sympathetic hearing by the Department ol Recreation and Conservation. Dr. Ireland stressed the import said about 500 photographs were used toward this end for the Barkerville project. WANT PHOTOGRAPHS West Kootenay HistoricaJ Association has named its president. Dan MacDonald, secretary J. W. Aw- mack and Miss Nancy Miles to accept any Fort Steele photographs, which will be returned to the owner ing a Cariboo tourist attraction far beyond department expectations. The location of this historic gold rush town, in the 1850's second only to San Francisco in population in the western half of the continent, is a dead-end sidetrip from Prince George and formerly attracted only a handful of visitors each year. Regulations of its operations prohibit any commercialization on the restored site but its benefits to the general tourist business of the area adjacent have been tremendous. CRANBROOK-Appointed by the joint parliamentary committee to help prepare proposed amendments to the Indian Act for parliamentary hearing, George Manuel of Neskainlith reservation near Kamloops attended a meeting Sunday at St. Mary's reservation to outline to representatives of the Kootenay Band matters under consideration, and hear their individual views on these matters. About 70 Indians attended the meeting from the Shuswap, Co lumbia, Tobacco Plains and St Mary's reservations to express Kootenay views. The meeting supported a measure of self-government for Indians in asking for their own Indian representative in policy-making with regard to Indian affairs. They supported a basic policy of Indians retaining separate identity in their own rights and traditions in cooperation with the other peoples of Canada. Discussing educational policies, lhe Kootenay meeting agreed that Indian residential schools will al- the opinion that integration of Indians at secondary school level is not successful in this area, though it is reported more successful on Vancouver Island. They suggested teachers better informed on the background and traditions of their Indian pupils, and also location of vocational schools open to Indians and whites alike in the interior. Dealing with law enforcement and courts as applied to Indians, they asked widening of the indictable offences for which the accused is granted counsel, change in what they claimed was a prejudiced attitude of magistrates concerning Indians, that the new act stipulate prosecution of charges against Indians be carried out by a lawyer and nol a police officer, and that a (hird alternative of probation be considered in addition to fine or prison sentence. Discussing health and social welfare, the meeting found the national health services provided Indians were dictatorial, and claimed that though Indians were ways be necessary, and were of levied the 5 per cent provincial ance of a large volume of early | after information about detail has day photographs, citing tlie restor-' been compiled.

The meeting approved requesting the federal vote, providing Indians still retained their hereditary rights. It also advocated consideration of the Maori system of electing a Maori representative to the New Zealand parliament. It asked inclusion of reservation housing of National Housing Act standard under government guaranteed loans for which Indians now are not eligible. It asked remuneration of reservation chiefs who are elected by their own reservations biennially. It criticized the failure of the present Indian Act to differentiate between treaty and non-treaty Indians which left the latter no direct relationship with their provincial government. Dealing with alcohol, the meeting protested legislation which forbids Indians purchasing spirits in liquor stores, and social drinking by Indians. Mr. Manuel is the appointed member of the Native Aboriginal Rights Committee on behalf of the Fraser Valley, Okanagan and Kootenay Indians, with separate committee members for the province's northern and coast Indians. and flooding out existing roads and railways running east and west. A dam at Bull River is also visualized which would create a dam up to Canal Flat, flooding most of Fort Steele and Wasa completely and roads and railways running north and south. MORE FLOODING Dr. Coy explained that the two other plans would result in much more extensive flooding in the Windermere district. The level of Lake Windermere would be raised 80 feet. The low-lying communities and all existing channels of communication would be flooded at least partially. The lake level would be subject to a variation drawdown of 50-40 feet during the winter and early spring. The speaker pointed out that investigations have been continuing since 1944 under the auspices of the International Joint Commission, The actual investigation, he said. has been done by the Columbia River engineering board consisting of engineers representing both Canada an dthe U.S.A. These investigations have been submitted to the Internationa! Joint Commission as three board alternative schemes. Dr. Coy went on, "Faced with such radical changes in tihe geography of our country the time has arrived when the residents of the Kootenays should express their opinion as to what is in the best interests of this part of B.C. and no time should be lost in doing this." The hydro committee of the Associated Boards of Southeastern B.C. has been watching this development of plans for some time, he continued, and have agreed on certain principles, among them: 1. That the hydro resources of: the Columbia River basin should be developed ln the best Inter-, eats of the Canadian people and,' 2. That the energy developed In the region should be available to the region to the extent that it, can be utilized now or In the foreseeable future. 3. That the development should be done In such a manner as to create as little disturbance as possible In the existing economy of the Kootenays. This hydro committee has held the opinion for a long time that these objectives can best be met by the construction of the Libby dam to supply power to the adjacent area and give adequate flood control to the agricultural lands on the Kootenay Flats at Bonners Ferry, Idaho and Creston, B.C. START AT ONCE Dr. Coy continued, "On the Columbia the key control dam at Mica Creek should be constructed immediately lo meet the power needs of (he Southwest portion of the province as well as that of the Interior," These two projects, he said, would meet the pressing need for power, allow time for further investigation of cheap thermal power and would result in the least flooding of our country and the least disturbance of the existing economy. In conclusion Dr. Coy hoped that a resolution can be drawn up that will receive the endorsation of all Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce in the East and West Kootenays and that it will be presented to the proper authorities with tlie backing of all the people i living in the area. Seagram's V.O. Seanrauvs (a This advertisement is not published or displayed by the Liquor Control Board or by the Government of British Columbian if the new Silverton bridge is to be built during the cold weather monlhs are being sought for the contractor by the Slocan District Board of Trade.

Later crews were I withdrawn for a three-week period for "an unexplained reason." Upon I resumption of work, two pits, 21 j feet, deep, were dug and the orig- I inal line of detour relocated. The I board said it understood that upon completion of driving of piling, the : contractor would cease operations A board committee said it had learned the company stated its bids for the project was based on the belief that construction could start immediately. No provision was made for heating of aggregate since the contractor felt the work would be completed before the cold weather set in. tion of an adjustment to cover tlie [ ™^ .^s.i..siie!L?.recaytion' "extraordinary expense" for five reasons: 1. The contractor was delayed in getting started due to misunderstanding between the contractor (Wadds Construction Company of Trail* and the department. 2. If the contractor is forced to withdraw from the project at this I date, deep pits and a diversionary road will create a dangerous haz- .,, ard for adults and children. The j m® ™^n±:, pits are an open invitation to preschool children, especially should the pits become partially filled with snow. Present narrow bridge has no footwalk, has blind approaches at both ends and is a hazard to school children and elder ly people who use the bridge. 3. Logging operators claim they cannot get their trailer trucks over the detour if snow piles up and icing occurs. 4. Assuming that the contractor is forced to pull out and he attempts to get under way again in the spring, an early runoff of Silverton creek would create havoc since the creek bed is choked with material scooped from the pits. Piles are to be driven into the creek bed to hold falsework for steel erection and the general channel of the cheek is therefore changed. Difficulty has been experienced by the village in containing tlie flow of the water in spring runoffs without these additional difficulties. A flood could be tragic. 5. By allowing tlie work to continue on the bridge this winter. some winter jobs could be created for local people and help to alleviate present depressed conditions caused by closure and curtailment of mining and logging operations, NOT TOO HIGH The board said it does not feel "that the added expense is too high a price to pay for the safety and well being of children and citizens of the town." The creek, also known as Fow- Mile creek, divides tlhe village of Silverton. A single lane temporary bridge has been the only connecting link. It carries ail highway and local traffic and is also used as a pedestrian crossing. Silverton ele- gravel to be used be washed and screened into four products would result in additional cost of $3000 to $4000 if the work was undertaken at this time. The Wadds company bid was some $14,000 below others and the margin of profit would not allow the extra expense. He was willing to continue with the work if some adjustment could be made either by way of equipment or monetary assistance. REMEMBER . . . Hi-Fi Long Play Records Only $1.98 At McKay & Stretton Ltd.

Wednesday, December 9, 1959 Acclamation Unhealthy Sign in Elections Reports from the various centres in the Kootenays show that in nominations for civic office all but two had a full slate of candidates. Of all the vacancies, 44 were filled by "acclamation." Acclamation, according lo the dictionary, is applause and shouting. Our Canadian use of the word is as a euphemism for default, the word used when a player takes a game when he has no opposition. It is time we faced the fact that this so-called "acclamation" sometimes arises from the apathy of the voters and is not necessarily enthusiastic endorsement of a candidate. There are lar too many mayors returned unopposed in the Kootenays. No matter how good a man may be during his term of office as mayor, lhe fact should be borne in mind that without an election lhe volers have no opportunity to express their opinions one way or the other. In any case a good majority at the polls is more of a triumph than is an election by default. Public interest has not been high in civic elections for some years, though this year there seems to be a revival of interest in some centres. Fruitvale, Kimberley, Nelson, Slocan and Wai field all have contests for all Iheir civic offices, and Rossland, though it has a trustee seat filled without a contest, has a gratifying number of candidates. Nelson has done well Ihis year. This may perhaps be due to the controversy over the use of the old post office building, but it is to be hoped that there will always be competition for office in the future. Bul if these individuals have done their share by offering to run for civic office they undoubtedly need the support of all the electorate. Civic elections are always important and in this one especially a thoroughly decisive vole is needed. Ratepayers should, regardless of everything, consider it their duty to vote. Candidates, having offered for office, must now put forward their viewpoints and policies so that voters can make reasonable decisions. Food Price Spreads former. It demonstrates that the primary producers, far from enjoying a larger share of the profits of the food trade, are on average worse off than they were ten years ago. If there is any undue profit-taking—and the commission does-not exactly say so—the farmer isn't in on it. The 20 per cent rise in food prices since 1949 is attributed mainly to higher cost of processing, packaging and promotion. What lemedies does Ihe commis sion suggest? None by way of govern- menl regulation or control; but rather voluntary action on Ihe part of the hade to get rid of unnecessary frills and gimmicks, wider publication of information as to what influences pi ice spreads, and greater alertness on the pari of buyers. There is a great deal more lhan that in the exhaustive report, including suggestions for a variety of new gov ernment information and "watchdoq" services; but in essence what the report seems to be saying is simply lhat it is up lo traders lo give fair value and to buyers lo see that Ihey get it. Cynical readers may be excused for dismissing this self-evident conclusion with the tart comment, "This is where we came in."—Vicloria Coionisl. The voluminous report of the federal royal commission of inquiry into food price spreads is a bit like the shopping bag of the boy who, sent to ihe store for bread, returns with a wide assortment ol], interesting packages—but no bread.' The commission was appointed primarily lo find out whether or not the differences belween prices paid to pro ducers and those charged to consum ers are laii and reasonable. After two years of inquiry it was unable to produce an answer to thai fundamental question, explaining lhat "We know of no objective test." II the commission with its virtually unlimited authority to travel, probe, call witnesses and ask questions could find no way of determining what are lair and reasonable markups on food items, much of ils elfort seems to have been wasted. In that respect—and it is perhaps the most importanl one- lhe report is a disappointment lo buyers and producers alike. The commission redeems itself to some extent, however, by presenting much helpful information and advice on Ihe subjeel of food price hends and merchandising practices, and Ihe relationship of the latter to Ihe An Absurd Situation AU the signs point lo a change in the old-age pension regulations. Sen timent has grown in favor ol permitting Ihe security allowance to be paid no matter where Ihe recipient lives, and reports suggest thai al the next session of Parliament the present restricion will be removed. If confirmed, Ihis will be only just. Pensioners have earned this pension, and it should be freed of any strings. It would mean much to persons on small total incomes who mighl qet along much easier by living elsewhere. There are anomalies with respect 10 old-aqe pensions, however, and freeing lhe payment will highlight these afresh. Ttie government made a mistake Iwo years ago when it reduced Ihe residence qualification from 20 years to 10. This was over-generous, 11 means lhat a person could come lo Ihis country at Ihe age of 60 and gain a pension 10 years later, when obviously his contribution to Ihe Hie and strength ol the country would be comparatively tneagie. If in futuie he would be able lo return to his nativp land while drawing Ihe pension, he would be unduly well rewarded. The situation is compounded when il is realized no compulsion about citi zenship is involved in old-age security payments. There is sound reason why every new settler in Canada should be compelled to take out citizenship papers after lhe probationary period of five years, apart altogether from Ihe old-age pension aspect. If a new settler is not prepared lo do so and assume all the obligations of citizenship, he should have no place in Canada. When he can stay here and after 10 years claim a pension, withoul swearing allegiance, however, something is patiently wrong. Once lire strings were taken oif the security pension it would be possible for an individual to come here Irom Europe, reside a brief 10 years, neglect or refuse to become a citizen, and then return from whence he came with a pension for tho rest of his life. He might even be a person who fought against Ihis country in either of Ihe Iwo world wars. That is obviously an absurd situation, and il should be changed. -Vicloria Coionisl. F. B. Pearce.. .. .Writes As I tell Carrie, a woman is lucky to have such a good husband and she says, "What woman?" That's her little jokes for she is still very shy ond doesn't like to say how much she appreciates me. I don't think that real estate mdn was right when he said the women were bossy and decided what house their husbands should buy. After oil, a woman has to live in the house, she hds to do the cooking in the kitchen ond make the beds and look after the kids. When you come to think of it, it is only fair to let her choose the houSe. The man only comes home at night and he ought to be thankful for oil the loving care a woman lavishes on him, even if she does find a few chores for him to do. Sure, I'm not saying that women are always good house pickers, but it doesn't hurt to let them think they are. After all, they deserve a little consideration as well os a man's pay cheque. They are Such delicate creatures. High-strung and all that. A man would be a brute to contradict them. No, we will not be going South this winter. As I told Carrie, it would be pleasant to sit in the shade of the grapefruit trees and let the juice trickle down my throat, but if she says "no", she has her reasons. She thinks it would cost too much, but I think the real reason is that she does not want my mind distracted by the bathing beauties down there. She says such a fine mind as mine should not be polluted by such sights as girls in bikinis, but Ihough I tell her I am willing to put up with such things, she says she would rather stay home She is not at all sure that my son- in-law is treating her daughter right. I tell her there is nothing wrong, but she says she is quite sure that Bill, that's Our daughter's husband, isn't as good as he looks. Besides, our daughter sings his praises and that is a bad sign. No woman with a good husband ever praises him. It is best not fo let them get conceited, she says. If Carrie can't wrangle an invitation for Christmas Irom one of lhc children, I expect we shall stay at home. Carrie thinks restaurants are loo worldly for such a solemn occasion as Christmas Yes, I expect we shall have turkey. I'm not fond of turkey, but Carrie likes it. I would much rather have a good thick steak, but Carrie says steaks are expensive, so we don't often have them Of course Carrie is good with turkey. It often lasts us a whole week. No, I don't get tired of it. At Ihe end of the week though I often wish turkeys were as scarce as hen's teeth, but as I say you have to humor women lo get the best out of them. No, I don't think they are really bossy. It is just that they love their husbands so much that they treat them as a dearly beloved, but slightly mentally-deficient children It's Been Said One principal point of good breeding is hi soil our- behavior to the three several rle.'f"^, ot men our .superiors, our equals, and those below us. -.Jonathan Swift. Dinner Manners The Finnish sludenl who was scolded by Mr. Mikoyan, the Soviet first deputy premier, for reading a newspaper at the dinner table is one of a great company of men who are constantly in hot water. Probably no male fault is more universal, or bitterly resented by women. Yet there is no known cure for Ihe habit. Il is doubtful whether women will ever break men of Ihe practice. Certainly, Ihey have nol succeeded so far. And looked al from a certain point of view, there may be nothing really wrong with Ihe habit of reading al Ihe dinner table. Il affords pleasure lo Ihe reader, and undoubtedly aids digestion. Possibly the best course foi women to take is to admit defeat and, acting on the sound principle lhat if you can't lick 'em, join 'em, themselves begin to read at Ihe dinner table. The trouble is, women reading a newspaper like to draw attention lo Ihis or lhat item that strikes them as amusing, or important, and insist on reading it aloud. This is distracting to a man who is trying to read and eat at the same lime. Possibly it would be best simply lo maintain the present uneasy slolus quo.—Ottawa Citizen. Report From Victoria By HON. W. D. BLACK, Provincial Secretary, Minister of Municipal Affairs, Minister of Social Wilfir* Ah illustrated booklet of Interest tb all resident and viStlng skiers, is now being distributed by tlie British Columbia Travel Sufeau The booklet, whioh carries the title of "Ski-irtg to British Columbia, will be found to be a handy guide to British Columbia's principal 4ki ing areas. Twenty - five different areas throughout the Province from Vancouver Island to Dawson Creek, are described in the issue. The areas are described as Spots where members of ski clubs and individual sportsmen may enjoy excellent snow conditions from December to May or June. Most of the material has been supplied by the individual ski clubs or associations and each area is described in detail. The length of slopes, grade and width are dealt with, also available slopes and instructions for beginners. Areas that possess ski-tows and chair-lifts have supplied the operating day of these facilities. Also described in the boklet is (lie accommodation available adjacent to the various areas, access roads and parking facilities. The work of the Silver King Ski Club is well illustrated in the booklet by descriptions of the skijhllls, accommodation and skiing instructions available. Also of great interest to tho skiing world, and prinled in the booklet, are the dates and places ot Western Canada Tournament dates.

B6M6 Forceful Leadership Required Of Banks for Market Stabilization TORONTO (CP) _ Ohartered banks gave forceful leadership in stabilizing financial markets when leadership was lacking else- where, Neil J. McKinnon, president of Uie Canadian Bank of Commerce, told the bank's annual meeting Tuesday.

However, increased consumer buying during late 1958 and early 1959 necessitated trading concerns carrying larger amounts of accounts receivable and inventories and generated increased demand for loans to individuals and increased use of consumer credit of all kinds. "These conditions caused steadily increasing use of bank credit, th,, i particularly from small and inter- — ', mediate-sized borrowers. Within the banking system loans to larger borrowers in Uie aggregate remained at totals about the same as those of two years previously, while a very large, increase took place In loans to smaller borrowers "The rapid increase in bank loans in the early part of the year finally caused tihe chartered banks, in the absence of leadership through a central bank rate or otherwise, to move to stabilize a situation which threatened creating an impairment of confidence in capital markets . . .

Mr. McKinnon said that to avoid immobility in the banking system and to re-establish confidence in the market for public bond issues the banks, Uirough the Canadian Bankers' Association, last August exercised forceful leadership and control. "The selling of government bonds by the banks was greatly diminished," he said, "banks then became able to renew and in some cases to add to their holdings of government treasury bills, interest rates on treasury bills and short-term bonds tended or details.

OTHER COUNTRIES SAME Mr. McKinnon also said interest rates are rising in many countries because of the expansion of world business. But economic Conditions here and abroad suggest the immediate ouUook of the industrial picture will be sound "if it is not marred by strikes of the seriousness of this past yeaV." ' Consumer spending promised to continue running at high levels next year and capital investment, with Uie exception of housing, might be somewhat larger but Mr. McKinnon added: "Although the near - term Outlook is promising, much of our national income is based on export markets for natural and semi - processed products and much of our industry depends on a still small, although growing, domestic market. "We must seek to maintain a business climate which will give the necessary incentives to individuals and corporations to grow and expand." DISCUSSES LABOR Regarding employment, he said that while the labor force now appears adequate for the present production rate, business expansion may, before long, create a fairly tight labor situation. J. P. R. Wadsworth. general manager, in a review of the bank's balance sheet, said that during the year the clearing of cheques in transit had been accelerated reducing the total of transit items by $78,500,000. Since slightly more than half of Uie.se items consisted of cheques drawn on branches of the bank, the action resulted in a reduction of general deposits by about $40,- 000.000. This, together with withdrawal of funds which, as stated in last year's report, were temporarily on deposit, resulted in a net reduction in total deposits of $64,- 617,000.

Selma, an attractive young wife and mother, has been working her nose overtime ever since graduation from William * and Mary College in Williamsburg, Va., and now is acknowledged a top expert in the new science of aromatics, or, in the language of the movies, "the smellies.' ' For the last year or so, Sekna bas been concentrating on creating the right smells for the first "smelly" movie, Behind the Great Wall, a documentary film on Ohina. Audiences will not only see and hear the story, but they also will smell it. SMELLS IMPORTANT "This is the greatest advance in movies since Garbo talked," she says. "Everybody remembers some certain smell connected with a certain time and place in the past —the smell of fresh bread baking in your gran dmother's kitchen, the smell of the first lilacs of spring, the smell of fresh - turned earth in your mother's garden, the smell of coffee and bacon in the morning. Smells are an important part of memory and emotion. And if a story is to 'be realistic, you must not only see and hear it, tat you also must smell it." The new movie, the first of many to come, has a smell track in addition to the sound and vision track. Audiences will see, hear and smell the Chinese waterfront scenes, the forests and the temples. PERFUME EXPERT Until the advent of smell mov- ies, Sekna was a specialist in perfumes for her company. Her trained nose could Identify the ingredients of almost any smell, and her trained brain could figure out how to reproduce it. In the new movie, some 85 scents accompany the action— the mingled smells of tobacco smoke, perfume and packed humanity in a night olub, the smell of a river, the smell of a tiger, the smell of a man's leather boots, the smell of incense, sandalwood, tea and hay.

Productive capacity and existing supplies of most raw materials have, however, been adequate, and in some cases in surplus on world markets, while the resurgence of the European and Japanese industrial economies has brought about increasingly competitive conditions for manufactured goods. These circumstances lend to have The full text of the President's and the General Manager's addresses an over-all stabilizing effect on prices. There seems little reason to think that the market for raw materials and manufactured goods will be any less competitive during the coming year. The domestic price level should therefore continue to show a fair degree of stability. Financial Developments The strong consumer demand during the year had a direct effect on the credit situation. In October of last year, the Bank of Canada stabilized the money supply. However, increased consumer buying during late 1958 and early 1959 necessitated trading concerns carrying larger amounts of accounts receivable and inventories and generated increased demand for loans to individuals and increased use of consumer credit of all kinds. These conditions caused steadily increasing use of bank credit, particularly from small and intermediate sized borrowers. Within the banking system loans to larger borrowers in the aggregate remained at totals about the same as those of two years previously, while a very large increase took place in loans to smaller borrowers. The rapid increase in bank loans in the early part of the year finally caused the chartered banks, in the absence of leadership through a central bank interest rate or otherwise, to move to stabilize a situation which Was then creating an impairment of confidence in the capital markets. In May, an announcement by The Canadian Bankers' Association warned of the tightening monetary situation but because of a lack of public endorsement in official quarters, it failed to have influence. The continuing sales of government bonds by the banks in order to release funds for loans caused increasing pressure on a bond market already greatly strained by the necessity of financing large new issues principally by governments and, as a result, both short-term and long-term interest rates continued to move up sharply. In August a point was reached where the banks, acting again through The Canadian Bankers' Association, had to exercise forceful leadership and control in order to avoid immobility1 in the banking system and to re-establish confidence in the market for public bond issues. The action then taken became effective with beneficial effects to the economy and to financial markets. The selling of government bonds by the banks was greatly diminished, banks then became able to renew and in some cases to add to their holdings of government treasury bills, interest rates on treasury bills and short-term bonds tended to decline and a vitally necessary condition of stability was restored. There are now some indications that the federal government is moving towards a balanced budget which, if it is inclusive of capital as well as current expenditures, will take much weight off the new issues market. The tight money situation of our environment must also be viewed in a global perspective. The expansion of business throughout the world is causing interest rates to rise in many countries. Large capital investment programs call for increased savings of all kinds, and it would appear that, taking a long view, we shall have to plan our expansions under somewhat taut conditions in money markets for some time to come, although economic conditions may induce some easing in the situation at times. Summary Economic conditions here and abroad suggest that we may be reasonably confident about the immediate outlook. The industrial picture looks currently sound provided it is not marred by strikes of the seriousness of this past year. Consumer spending, which has been running at high levels throughout most of the year, promises to continue to do so next year. Capital investment, with the exception of housing, may be somewhat larger than this year. It is more difficult to discern a constructive pattern in our external trade. Much will depend on competitive conditions here and abroad, the level of our dollar in international markets and the level of prosperity in the nations which provide our foreign markets. Inflationary tendencies appear to have subsided and our growth is taking place against a background of reasonably level prices. Although the near-term outlook is promising, much of our national income is based on export markets for natural and semi-processed products and much of our industry depends on a still small, although growing, domestic market. We are greatly influenced by the international environment and we should seek to understand its movement and direction in advance of its impact on us. Equally important, we must seek to maintain a business climate which will give Ihe necessary incentives to individuals pnd corporations to grow and expand. J. P. R. Wadsworth, Vice-President and General Manager, reviewed the balance sheet, highlights of which are summarized, and said in part: The 93rd annual statement records new peak figures in several areas and lower totals in others. Personal savings deposits in Canada at $1,368,000,000 increased by $57,700,000 during the year and loans at $1,200,000,000 increased by $188,671,000. The unusually large increase in loans made it necessary to sell securities and the reduction in Ihe investment portfolio amounted to $189,400,000. Loans under the may be obtained by writing to the Secretary, Head Office, Toronto. National Housing Act at $ 186,611,000 show an Increase of $46,396,000. Under existing monetary conditions our activities in this field are limited. Call loans amounted to $199,756,000, an increase of $25,104,000, principally in day-to-day loans to money market dealers. The increase in volume of business in recent years brought with it a large increase in the total of cheques and other transit items in the course of clearing. This asset does not earn interest and during the past year intensive efforts have been made to accelerate the clearing of these items. The success of our improved system is shown in a reduction of $78,524,000 in transit items. Because somewhat more than one-half of the total of transit items represents cheques drawn on accounts at various branches of the Bank, a reduction of approximately $40,000,000 in general deposits resulted. This together with the withdrawal of certain large deposits which were'held temporarily a year ago, to which reference was made in last year's report, brought about a reduction in other deposits from $1,271,000,000 last year to $1,165,000,000 this year. Deposits by the Government of Canada decreased temporarily by $21,000,000. Total assets at the end of the year amounted to $2,976,000,000 compared with a total of $3,016,- 000,000 a year ago. Notwithstanding the large expansion in loans during the year a strong liquid position was maintained with total quick assets amounting to $1,497,000,000 representing 53.5 per cent of total liabilities Ho the public. This year a number of necessary enlargement programs at existing branches were completed and new branches were established in new and growing areas. The total number of banking offices now stands at 851. During the year fhe Bank appointed a senior officer as European Representative with headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland. The offering to shareholders of 900,000 shares on December 12, 1958 increased paid-up capital during the year by $8,971,000 and rest account by $19,736,000. The number of shareholders increased during the year by 2,075 and now stands at 20,371. •The statement of undivided profits shows an increase in profits after taxes of $906,033. Income taxes increased by $2,100,000. After providing for dividend payments of $9,163,828 an amount of $1,954,552 was carried forward increasing the balance of undivided profits to $3,121,636. Once again I want to take this opportunity to pay tribute to all members of the personnel for their loyal and devoted service. The past year has posed many problems, in particular in the field of credit administration, and the role played by the branch managers has been more than ever an extremely important one.

The industry, says the Newsprint Association of Canada in its monthly "newsprint data" has recovered from the recession which forced it to curtail production in 1957 and 1958. Production hit a record 6,468,- 000 tons in 1956 and then dropped to 6,397,000 in 1957. In 1958 it slipped to 6,096,000 tons. But this year demand improved and in recent months production has been setting records. Production for the year is expected to total 6,400,000 tons, only slightly less than the 1956 record year. This trend is expected to continue into 1960 and production of 6,600,- 000 tons is forecast. LITLE INCREASE SEEN Little increase in production capacities is expected next year. As a result the operating ratio of mills in 1960 is expected to be 87 per cent of capacity compared with 85 per cent this year. The United States continues to be the main purchaser of Canadian newsprint.

U.S. are forecast at tons Ior Ihis year and for 1960. "Canadian newsprint shipments to overseas markets are also expected to increase slightly in 1960 despite major capacity and production increases in Scandinavia and elsewhere," said the association. The association said a number of new newsprint mills are in the planning stage. In Alberta, Alberta West Forest Products Corporation Ltd. was to have started a 60,000-ton pulp mill near Edmonton this year. However, no reports on the start of construction have been received. In New Brunswick. Rothesay Paper Corporation proposes construction of a $30,000,000 news print mill on Courtensfy Bay near Saint John. NO ACTION AT KITIMAT In British Columbia, no action in the near future is expected on plans by the Kitimat Pulp and Paper Company to build a newsprint mill. In Manitoba, no developments have been reported on plans submitted to the provincial government in 1958 for the construction of a $30,000,000 newsprint mill. In Ontario, Anglo - Newfoundland Development Company plans for a mill in Ihe Sioux Lookout area have been deferred. By terms of the original agreement with the provincial government construction had to slart by May 1, 1959, but an extension of time to May 1, 1962, has been granted. by Eisenhower, including an address at a citizen's reception where he called upon all countries of Die world to work together for disarmament. CAN'T WIN GLOBAL WAR He told a cheering crowd of between 15,000 and 20,000 Pakistanis that all national leaders worthy of the name should join with him in "a progressive, enforcable system of disarmament" because no country can win a global atomic war. Eisenhower said there is no need for any hesitation about pushing toward an effective disarmament program. Referring to the American foreign aid program, he promised his government would give this* Asian ally's needs "sympathetic consideration." Pakistan President Mohammed Ayub Khan saluted Eisenhower as a great world peace leader whose contribution to human progress and good will has been unsurpassed. TAKEN FOR GRANTED Speaking in Urdu, a Pakistani language, Ayub Khan said "a major part of lhe free world takes it for granted that the maintenance of peace and the promotion of universal prosperity is the bounden duty of the U.S.A." "The rest of the free world in turn feels the same way. The only difference in their case is that while receiving from the U.S.A. w*at it gives, they are not willing to make acknowledgment of it and give co-operation in return." This was an obvious jibe at neighboring India, with which Pakistan has fought over Kash- roir, and Prime Minister Nehru's policy of neutrality. Half a dozen events occupied Eisenhower, ranging from fresh talks on world affairs with Ayufc Khan to a sight-seeing flight by helicopter over Karachi. Eisenhower applauded an ex-i hibition of horsemanship by Ayuib Khan's mounted body guard, placed a wreath at the Tomb of Mohamed Ali Jinnah, Ihe founder of Pakistan, and saw part of a cricket match. Eisenhower and Ayub Khan— a general, too-4iit if off from tha' slart. They chatted together Monday evening like old friends, although they had just met. Tuesday, half a dozen others sat in wiU» them. On the Pakistani side were Foreign Minister Manzur Qadir, Finance Minister Mohammed Sho- aib and Foreign Secretary Mohammed Ikramullah. Flanking Elsenhower were State Undersecretary Robert Murphy, Ambassador William M. Rountre* and Brig.-Gen. Andrew G. Goo* paster, a White House secretary. The president's son, Maj. Jdhn Eisenhower, also attended. Cheers and cries of "zindabad (long life)" greeted Eisenhower as he made his rounds, extending the greatest welcome ever given a foreign visitor in this city of 2,000,000. Everywhere Eisenhower went, he was the abject of excited curiosity. His 40-hour visit, due to end Wednesday morning, appeared to be a smashing success in this Moslem stale of 87,000,000-^a link in the NATO-Cento-Seato chain of defences against communism. He is flying to Afghanistan and then to India Wednesday. DIVIDENDS By TIIE CANADIAN PRESS Ash Temple, Ltd., common 20 cents, class A, $1.50, class b, 16Vi cents, Jan. 1, record Dec. 18.

Experts Warn Washington to Go Canny With Red Chinese WASHINGTON (AP) - A panel of foreign policy experts warned Monday night of the danger of new aggression by Red Ohina and said Russia's current peace drive is a tactic aimed at expanding Soviet power. It also called on U.S. leaders to stop "jolting along from crisis to crisis" and develop daring and creative foreign policies to help shape a new and peaceful order in world affairs. The 30,000-word report was prepared under the sponsorship of the Rockefeller brothers fund. It laid special emphasis on the need of U.S. leaders to obtain maximum public discussion of foreign policy issues by providing full information even on such matters as nuclear armaments. Otherwise, the report said, negotiations with the Soviet Union tend to he- come simply "sterile or dangerous bartering." The report warned against any retreat from West Berlin or any agreement which would dissolve the North Atlantic alliance or allow West Germany to fall within the Soviet orbit. SUBTLE BUT MENACING Premier Khrushchev's new tactic, it said, is more subtle and complex but no less menacing than tlie old tactic pf threat and force in the Stalinist years. Turning to Communist Ohina, lhe report said it is "in a posture which, in past historical experience, has almost invariably led to aggression."

Furthermore, Red Ohina looks upon tlie United States as its "supreme enemy, the one obstacle" to its domination of all Asia. MAY BREAK WITH RUSSIA The report suggested that eventually Red C h i n a's growing strength—especially If it acquires atomic weapons—may' put heavy strains upon its relations with Russia. The United States must try to avoid courses of *action which drive China closer to the Soviets, it advised. Two former assistant secretaries of state, Dean Rusk, president of the Rockefeller foundation, and Adolf A. Berle Jr., a lawyer, are among the 14 members of the foreign policy panel. The report was written principally by August Heckscher, director of the Twentieth Century Fund.

(CP) - It's "sort of a rule," Robert Raymond Cook told Supreme Court Monday, "when you're picked up by the police you don't always tell the truth." Cook, 23, is charged with lhe murder of his father, whose body was found June 28 in a grease pit behind the Cook home in Stet- tler. Cook's step-mother and the five Coqk children were also found in the pit. The seven "had been shot and bludgeoned. Cook testified for the second time Monday. J. W. Anderson of Edmonton, appearing for the attorney - general's department, asked why some of the things Cook told RCMP upon his arrest did not agree with some of his testimony given in court. "It's kind of hard to say . . . sort of a rule that when you're picked up by Ihe police you don't always tell the truth," Cook said. He added, however, that some ol his answers were not "deliberate" untruths. "1 was badly mixed up." COMPOSURE SHAKEN Earlier Monday the calm which Cook has shown throughout the 6%-day trial broke when defence counsel Giffard Main asked him how he felt when told the bodies had been found. "I just can't describe it," Cook said in a low, halting voice, His eyes were downcast; he mumbled to the six - man jury and the packed courtroom. "It's hard to explain.

(CP)-Voters put a relatively new group into office Monday to guide this Eastern Ontario city out of its financial muddle. Three of eight aldermen on the 1950 city council who sought reelection were defeated. Five others retained their seats. Belleville citizens were confronted recently wilh the news that the city had logged a $600,000 deficit, part of it on the city-operated Belleville McFarlands, who won the world hockey championship last winter. / A royal commission headed by Judge A. R, Willmott of Cobourg, Ont., conducted an inquiry into the tangled financial status. Judge Willmott found there had been misspending of civic funds and blamed it on "gross negligence" by' city council. ARENA CHAIRMAN LOSES Members of Ihe old council returned to office were Walter Elliott, Jack Ellis, George Wishart, Robert Temple and Jack Ireland. Defeated were Les Digby, Claude Tice, chairman of the arena commission, and Mrs. S. E. McCabe, all members of this year's council. Heading the poll was Leslie F. Reid, principal of Quinte secondary school. Other newcomers included John Deacon, Dr. Jack Barlow, Ben Corke, Lome McDougall, Bill Jarvah, Eugene Harrison, Ross Bailey and Don J. Whelan. Mayor Gerald B. Hyde did not seek re-eleclion. A. McLean Haig, mayor in 1952 and 1953, was elected by acclamation to the post for next year. The voting was heavy. The top three candidates each obtained more than 4,000 votes. Only five aldermen had been given more than 3.000 voles in previous Belleville elections. ONE MAYOR RETURNED In the live other Ontario cities ttiat held mayoralty elections, only one sitting mayor was returned. That was Gait's A. W. A. White who defeated E. M. Griffiths by more than 1,000 votes. In Woodstock, Mrs. Bernadette Smith unseated G. T. LaPlair by 100 votes. Kitchener's Joseph Meinzinger went under to Harry Wambold by about 200 votes in heavy balloting. Sault Ste. Marie's mayoralty post, left vacant when Walter Harry decided not to run again, was filled by James L. Mclntyre. James Bauer easily beat Norman Ratz in Waterloo where Mayor Harold Paikin withdrew but won a council seat. The Stratford mayoralty was vacated by R. E. Mountain and new mayor is C, H.

He said in court Saturday he buried the loot, $4,300, in a can about three miles from Bowden. ' Two days after his release he stole a car in Edmonton, drove to Bowden and picked up the money, he testified. He returned the car to Edmonton, went bade to Stettler and gave his parents $4,100 of the money. He left Stettler with the famjly station wagon and drove to Edmonton to trade it in on a new car, he said. Cook said his ■ parents were happy and alive and planning to go to British Columbia and buy a garage when he left June 26. He was to join them in B.C. STOPPED BY RCMP On June 27, the day after he said he left for Edmonton, he was picked up by RCMP in Stettler for questioning, He was driving a new 'white convertible. The bodies were discovered the next day. During police questioning after Ihe bodies were found, Cook said, he was "muddled up." "It was hard to think, but I'm telling the truth now.

P. O'Connor of the R.C. Government Employees Association said Monday. Mr. O'Connor was commenting on recent statements by Attorney- General Bonner that the report was being withheld because the government refused to bow to a BCGEA "ultimatum." Mr. O'Connor said Mr. Bonner's remarks were merely an excuse designed lo escape a solemn promise by Premier Bennett that the Carrothers report would be revealed and acted on. He added the real reason for wilholding the report, by University of B.C. law professor Alfred Carrothers, was the government did not agree with its recommendations, "whatever they might be." A strike or threat of a strike in demand that the Carrothers report be released could be considered an ultimatum, but the association never has suggested that the government was bound by the report's contents, "any more than we would be," he added. The association currently is conducting wage surveys over some 1,000 job classifications in government employment.
