Firemen expressed belief the blaze started on the Vanity Fair dancehall on the third floor. The city's 36 firefighters led by chief Gerald Vance succeeded con- fining the fire to that floor but smoke and water damage to the 10 second-storey offices and six street level floors was considered heavy. The building is owned by Sam Pappas. Main stores damaged the smoke and water were E. Kuntze and Sons Electric, Singer Sewing Centre, Bill Cook's cigar store; Doyle's drug store, Dickens and Son Bakery, Duff's drug store and The Children's Shop. R. E. Barrett said he was in his law office when the fire broke out and he gave the alarm. He said he heard "a noise like a great bubble bursting' and almost immediately noticed smoke. He called the fire department before throwing wills, deeds, files and other valuable papers into the street 'to save them. A sign in the window of The Children's Shop advertised a "smoke and water damage sale." It referred to the aftermath of a small fire July 30. Sisters Sob Bitterly By C. M. FELLMAN Canadian Press Correspondent CORBEIL (CP) -- Emilie Marie Jeanne Dionne was buried today. Hundreds watched - as the y of the world-famous quintuplet was laid to.rest in the small Roman Catholic cemetery here.

There, he said, they found Sutherland, an engi- neer with CBLT, clinging to a canvas kitbag and the 235-pound Gordon hanging onto the bottom of the overturned boat. They threw a line to Sutherland and hauled him aboard the rescue n boat, set out for the stricken men. Sgt. Diamond called Fire Chief Bruce Corner and he and his son, James Corner, sped to the scene with the department-owned re- cusitator. Dr. Hodgins was also summoned to the scene.

(CP) A crawling slimy mass of army worms is eating its way through New Brunswick grain fields. Douglas Pond of the entemologi- cal laboratory in Fredericton says there was "not a head of grain left in all of Victoria and Carleton counties." The plague first broke out in the Hoyt district, 30 miles south of Fredericton, but was soon under control. The most recent outbreak began near Woodstock, 45 miles northwest of Fredericton, and has spread to 12 counties. Harry Greenlaw, director of the New Brunswick seed growers as- sociation, termed the outbreak a "provincial calamity. ' Mr. Pond predicted the worms would be through feeding in north- ern New Brunswick 'possibly by next week-end," but the insects would continue to ravage crops in the southern part of the province "for at least another four weeks." Says Teaching Critics Will Not Pay For Service GENEVA PARK, Ont. (CP)-- R. 0. Macfarlane, a former Man- itoba deputy minister of education, says eritics of present-day teach- ing methods and school courses ex- pect more than they are willing to pay more. Addresing 200 delegates to the 23rd annual Couchiching co 'er- ence, sponsored jointly by the Canadian Institute on Public Af- fair and the CBC. he said Sunday. "I have heard critics, stating the qualities of a good teacher, set forth a list that 'would reflect an earning capacity on the part of the proud professor many times greater than the salary schedule of our most bountiful school board at the present time." Mr. Macfarlane, now a member of the staff of Carleton college in Ottawa, added: "We must not expect more from our public education than we are prepared to pay for and in no place is this more obvious than in the teacher." INOT FULLY DEVELOPED Prof. G.-M. A, Grube, Trinity College classics professor at the University of Toronto, said lan- guages, mathematics, hitory and science hold greater educational values than 'learning to run a car; pound a typewriter, or shopwork." He suggested most Canadian stu- dents are capable of a greater mental development than they ate | tain in today's school system, Public school teachers who are being paid, for the most part, less than factory worker will have to 4 drawn sooner or later from the bottom half of the ability groups, predicted Prof. Goodwin Watson of the education department of Col- lumbia University.

' Mile Masters Spectacular As Bannister, Landy Race By JIM BASTABLE Canadian Press Writer VANCOUVER (CP)--Two Eng- lishmen, one a tall, angular doctor of medicine and the other a wiry little optician, gave the 1954 Brit- ish Empire Games thrills and agony in one of the most dramatic spectacles in sport history, Few will forget Dr. Roger Ban- nister, his face contorted and long blonde hair swept back by the breeze, streaking across the finish line in 3:58.8 to once again break the mile's four-minute barrier on the Games' final day Saturday. Everyone will remember Jimmy Peters, the dead-game marathoner who couldn't stay on his feet no matter how hard he tried. Nor will they forget how John Landy, at 24 the world's master of the mile with his _still-to-be- recognized rece d of 3:58, ran out of steam in the straightaway and was whibped by five yards by Ban- nister although he, too, broke four minutes with a 3:59.6. BOTH TREMENDOUS Both Bannister and Peters were tremendous in victory and defeat. Bannister excited the nearly 35,000 fans. Peters brought tears as he stumbled, fell and reeled again and again 200 yards from the end of what might have been the fastest marathon ever run, Bannister had his race planned and he made his move when he saw Landy tiring after the third lap Peters may have beaten him- self because of a desire for speed in the gruelling 26-mile, 385-yard rind which he never finished. Ex- austed, he was carried away on a stretcher as Scot'and's Joe Me- Ghee trotted to victory with the cheers of thousands. These were the highlights of the nine-day Games, fifth and biggest since they started in Hamilton, Ont. 24 years ago. Some of the others were nearly lost in the excitement, Athletes from the 24 competing countries ROGER BANNISTER shattered records, breaking 57 of them. England's onslaught won her the unofficial team ehampionsiiip with 514% points over the defend- ing Australians, who came second with 363%. Canada was third with 339. TRIPLE WINNERS There were the triple gold-medal winners of New Zealand's, Yvette Williams and Australia's Marjorie Jackson Nelson -and the last-min- ute scratch of Jackie MacDonald of Toronto, Canada's main hope in field events, from the discus final Saturday. Canadians grabbed nine of the 91 gold medals at stake, two com- ing in upset victories. Probably the biggest surprise of the nine-day program was the stunning defeat Wednesday of Eng- land's. vaunted eight-oar crew in RICH FERGUSON the rowing evints by a 'ng and comparatively inexperienced Uni- versity of British Columbia crew. Another was Canada's win in the men's 440-yard relay over favored Nigeria Saturday. CANADIAN THIRD Bannister brought the house down with his great stretch run. Richie Ferguson of Toronto, 22- year-old in-and-outer, was third in 4:04.6. It was the fastest mile any Canadian has run. Bannister's time by quarters: 59.2, 59.8, 59.6, 1:00.2. Landy: 58.2, 1:00.1, 1:00.1, 1:01.2. Behind Ferguson were Vie Milli- gan of Northern Ireland, Murray Halberg of New Zealand and Ian Boyd of England in that order. The great mile--variously called the mile of the century, the mir- acle mile and the mile .of the | masters--was essentially just what | had been"*expected. It was a battle | between Bannister and Landy. All the talk that strategy would play such a part that four minutes wouldn't be broken turned out to be the wildest guesswork. Both Bannister and Landy ran their hearts and legs out. At the finish Bannister was on the verge of col- lapse. He was held up by team- mates and officials while he and Landy stood in front of cameras. He even draped an arm about the shoulders of his great rival, who finished fresher. THEY JOGGED Bannister quickly recovered and called to Landy and Ferguson: "Let's jog about a bit." They did. Bill Baillie of New Zealand took the lead among the eight starters at the gun. The runners were close together and for a while David Law of England moved in front but soon dropped out when he broke a spike in his shoe. Landy went to the front at the top of the straightaway on the first lap and stayed in the lead until he was caught near the same spot three laps later by Bannister. The Englishman was 10 yards or more behind Landy after 12 laps. He gradually closed the distance and at the three-quarter mark was just behind the Australian. They ran that way until they swung around the final turn, when Bannister moved in front with his great kick and Landy, fighting des- erately, was beaten. As they Ie aded into the straightaway Landy looked over his shoulder-- the wrong shoulder. 'Bannister, even with him on the other side, spurted ahead to win by five yards.
