Windfall Signs Of 'Reason To Hope TORONTO oT at a ister George Wardrope 0! - rio said Monday his actions in connection with the stock mar- ket activity of Windfall Oils and Mines Limited last July were taken with a view to "doing everything that properly can be done to encourage the develop- ment of the mining industry." "Lacking specific knowledge to the contrary," he told a royal commission, "There seemed to be good reason to hope that Windfall, because of its proximity to the Texas Gulf discovery, might develop into a producing mine." The commission is investigat- ing the climb of Windfall stock to $5.60 from 56 cents and its subsequent collapse to 80 cents between July 3 and July 31 last year. The rise started on rumors Windfall had found ore on its property 4% miles from the $2,000,000,000 strike made by Texas Gulf Sulphur Company at Timmins. On Friday, July 10, the Tor- onto Stock Exchange threatened to suspend Windfall shares un- less the company made a state- ment justifying the stock's ac- tivity. RECEIVES CALL Mr. Wardrope said that the next day he received a call from John Campbell, then di- rector of the Ontario Securities Commission, who was sus- pended in August for what was described as a possible conflict of interest.

Youngsters Almost Killed By Nerve Gas On Sheets TORONTO (CP)--The_near- fatal illness of two Vancouver youngsters sparked an interna- tional investigation by public health officials that resulted in destruction of a ship's cargo in widely - separated communities. A report on two cases of par- athion (nerve gas) poisoning is published in the current Journal of the Canadian Medical Asso- ciation. Authorities in Belgium, Cali- fornia, Ottawa, Edmonton, Van- couver and Burnaby, B.C., be- came involved after two boys, one five years old, the other 12, were admitted to a Vancouver hospital nine days 'apart a year ago. R. F., the five-year-old, was admitted in March, 1964, with breathing difficulty, in semi- coma after a few days of ill- ness and vision trouble. He foamed at the mouth and re- quired artificial respiration. That night, "he suddenly and inexplicably began to improve" and was shortly discharged. IN SAME CONDITION V. R., 12-year-old neighbor of R. F., was admitted to the hos- pital in April in the same con- dition and required an emer- gency operation to open his windpipe. He regained con- sciousness and was discharged. Meanwhile, R. F. Became ill again and returned to hospital. Doctors now suspected poison- ing and admitted a'drug which led to the boy's recovery. Public health authorities vis- agents and resold it. The search was narrowed to some candy both boys had eaten and some flanelette sheets, which had been stained in ocean transit, purchased by the salvage dealer and used on beds in the homes of both boys. The sheets, part of a damaged cargo that had arrived in Feb- ruary from Antwerp, Belgium, included some with faint brow: This human skull and other skeletal fragments were unearthed Monday by workmen digging a trench a block from the Edmonton city centre. The fragments S were found 30 inches below Polio Virtual stains. SHEETS STAINED The candy was cleared but the sheets, in tests at the fed- eral food and drug Administra- tion laboratory in Vancouver, were found to be stained with parathion, a phosphate nerve gas widely used as an insecti- cide. : All the stained sheets had to be tracked down. Fifty were recovered from homes in the neighborhood, 40 in a Vancou- ver Island rest home and about 140 in two Vancouver retail stores. Most were found and burned. Through shipping agents and federal government authorities, it was determined that a Ger- man freighter that carried the sheets also had loaded 72 drums of parathion at Antwerp and de- livered the insecticide at a Cali- fornia port on the way to Van- couver. Apparently one or more of the 55-gallon drums had leaked parathion into the hold in transit. Public health officials found that a quantity of silk sent to Edmonton and 165 pairs of baby ited the boys homes in search of the source of the trouble. R. F.'s father was a salvage dealer who purchased damaged| cargo from ship insurance blankets consigned to Burnaby |had also been in the hold. Some} of the baby blankets were found to be contaminated and all were recovered and destroyed. | Peking Man Asian Capita NEW DELHI (AP)--The Chi- Brings Cash, ls Love Him OTTAWA (CP) -- Polio, the virus that once struck fear into North American homes, has been "virtually eliminated" in Canada, a senior official of the federal health department said Monday. Dr. E. W. R. Best, head of the department's epidemiology division, interviewed on the 10th anniversary .of Salk vaccine's being pronounced "'safe, effec- tive and potent," called the near - victory over paralytic poliomyelitis "a major achieve- ment" in scientific development and community disease control.

Last year there were 21 par- alytic polio cases, two of them fatal. These were all-time lows for Canada, Dr. Best said. The figures compare with 548 polio cases in 1955, the year Salk vaccine was introduced, 1,887 in 1959, when the last flare-up. took place, and 123 in 1963. In 1933, Canada's worst polio year, there were 3,192 paraly- tic cases and 494 deaths. In the first three months of this year no cases were re- ported. This compares with four cases in the same period last year, the average also of the previous three years.

By JAMES NELSON OTTAWA (CP)--Last spring's federal budget deficit of $619,- 200,000 was cut by a whopping 87 per cent to $83,000,000 in the 1964-65 fiscal year, Finance Minister Gordon reported Mon- day. - After tabling his pre-budget white paper in the Commons, he told reporters: "It was a very good year in all industries, in all economic components, and in all parts of the coun- try." He told reporters he had un- der-estimated the growth of the economy and buoyancy of fed- eral government revenues: last year. This is the kind of under- estimation he does not find em- barrassing, he said. March 31 was the lowest since a $39,000,000 deficit in 1957-58, and came after a string of six running as high ae $791,000,000 in 1961-62, In his budget last spring Mr. Gordon had forecast a deficit of $455,000,000. RESERVES PREDICTION But he would make no pre- diction Monday about the size of the deficit--or surplus--he jexpects at the end of the cur- rent fiscal year next March 31. That forecast will be in his bud- get speech.

What does the white paper mean to the man in the street, he was asked. "It means the finances of the federal government are under control once again and the bus- iness of the country is being pretty well managed." The economy last year surged forward to a much greater ex- tent than the government anti- ae cipated. The gross national product for the calendar year 1964--a meas- ure of the value of all goods and services produced--rose 8.9 per cent over 1963 to $47,003,000,000. 4 Bas the biggest gain since Other features of the white) that paper( --Personal income taxes, the biggest single revenue pro- ducer in federal accounts, yielded $2,108,000,000, up 13 per cent from 1963-64. --Corporation tax income OPEN TONIGHT WINNER for your INCOME J.
