Police said the accident oc- curred on an icy patch of road and visibility was almost zero because of a heavy snowstorm and drifting snow. Bus superintendent 'Reg' Smith said Mr Poirier was 'an excellent employee'. Neighbor William Lewis said "you could- n't get better neighbors". Mr. Poirier was born in Ma- gog, Quebec, Jan. 4, 1904. Both he and his wife grew up there and were married there before coming to Oshawa in 1539. Their only son, Leonard, lives in Oak- ville. In a "Meet Your Neighbor' series in The Times two. years ago, Mr. Poirier was described asa "typical citizen of French- Canadian descent living in Osh- awa".

The president said he did not question Khrushchev's motives for seeking a quick summit session.

But Kennedy firmly rejected Khrushchev's contention that possible U.S. resumption of at- |mospheric nuclear testing would jbe an aggressive act.

Fleming's Life Threatened By House Burglar OTTAWA (CP) -- A burglar threatened to kill Finance Minister Fleming Sunday night, The minister said today the incident occurred after he and Mrs. Fleming were driven home from Uplan Airport by an army driver, L. Cpl. J. B. D, McCormick. "We discovered two burglars in the house," Mr. Fleming said. "They rifled four bed- rooms. One theatened to kill us." The minister and his driver confronted the two men up- stairs. "One of them had a long flashlight. He threatened sev- eral times to hit us with it." The two burglars followed Mr. Fleming and L. Cpl. McCorm- ick to the foot of the stairs. Then they bolted for the front door. FORCE WAY OUT The minister said there was "a scuffle' as he and the army driver tried to block the exit, But the two men forced their way out the door, with L. Cpl, McCormick in pursuit. Mr. Fleming said the army: driver caught one man at the Beechwood Cemetery, near the Flemings' house in Rockcliffe Park. "The other one came back and kicked him. The two of them kicked him and ran off." Meanwhile, Mr. Fleming had called the police. They searched the fashionable neigh- borhood without results.
