A I 2 Reindeer Problem For Police SEATTLE (AP)--A scare or more Seattle policemen dis- covered Saturday how it is Santa Claus manages to make his rounds the world over in one short night. It's because his sled is loaded with reindeer power, a real gone machine. Two reindeer, in a pen at a supermarket, escaped after several juveniles loosened pins which held the animals' cage together. | The two animals, which were being shown as a sales booster, | loped off through city streets 2nd right on their hoovers were a dozen or more patrol ears. One of the reindeer was cap- tured in a school yard within | minutes after the two animals broke away to freedom. The other, a little faster afoot, kept police on the move for another two hours as he * dodged through yards and down alleys and galloped down dark, empty streets. Als the while, the police radio was an Instrument of steady chatter: # "He's southbound on Ber- tona." "Anyone there to stop him?" "Nope." "Try singing a Christmas carol." "Now he's on 34th' * "We're going to have some | string or something to put on | this critter if we ever catch up | with him, he's preity big." | "How about some red rib- bon." | "We've got a rope." "Have you got him?" { "Yeah, we got him tied to a | tree, but we don't know quite | what to do with him. The ser- | geant's here, though." ""Well, then it's his problem." B.C. Physicians | Seen In Need - VANCOUVER (CP) -- The Sun quotes an unidentified Vancouver doctor as saying almost half the physicians and surgeons in Brit- ish Columbia did not make enough money last year to pay income tax. "Many have to struggle fo make a bare living," the news- paper quotes him as saying. "Many are so deeply in debt that their credit has been cut off." The Sun said the doctor, who insisted on anonymity, blamed the financial situation on the opi- nion that medicine in B.C., and pecially in V er, is an over-crowded field. f Recent figures showed Van- couver with one doctor for every | 568 persons. The rest of B.C., had | one doctor for 1,132 persons. | B.C.'s ratio over-all of one to 770 | + compared with a national aver- age of one to 971. However, The Sun quotes Dr. Lynn Gunn, registrar of the B.C. College of Physicians and Sur- geons, as saying he knows of no doctors who are destitute. Post Office Men Consider Strike VICTORIA (CP) -- Plans for a | nation - wide strike vote among post office workers, sought by | leaders of the 600-member Van- | couver branch of the Canadian | Postal Employees' Association, | are a sign of widespread unrest, a spokesman for Victoria branch of the association said Saturday night. | "This is not just a few racials | stirring things up," said Bob | Coey in an interview. "There def- | initely is unrest al' across the country." He added: "I'm quite sure that if there is still no action taken by the gov-| ernment after January to imple- ment recommendations of the| civil service commission for higher sala: >s, then the lid will blow sky high." | \ THE OSHAWA TIMES, Monday, November 30, 1959 1's SAFE DRIVING WEEK: DECEMBER 1st- th Don't be the cause of Spare a few minutes to spare your life annd someone else.
