with the start of a subway has set its sights on creation of a metropolitan police force mayor hiram e mccallum toll board of control last week that the city will approach the ontario government on the question of having a united force for toronto and its 12 surrounding municipal ities the greater toronto area with a population of approximate ly 1300000 is policed at present by separate municipal police depart ments the metropolitan police issue arose when controller allan lam port said persons responsible for two slayings in the toronto area in recent weeks one a double killing are still at large controller lam port suggested that failure to catch the killers warrants a reorganization of torontos 1200- man police force mayor mccallum replied that the double slaying that of a young toronto couple apparently had been committed outside the city i think that a metropolitan police force will come in the near future said the mayor the best reason seems to be that many of these murders and other crimes are happening just outside the city in localities in which our police force has no jurisdiction some of the methods of the toronto metropolitan police would be patterned on those of the fam ous london metropolitan police with headquarters at new scot land yard the london metropolitan force with more than 00000 men is responsible for law enforcement in an area of about

cob and in season favorite with canadians for many years is expected to be a popular canned item on grocers shelves this winter indications are that the 1949 pack of this product will be the largest since prewar years according to the canadian division american can company the delectable food was a war casualty due to restrictions on the use of tin plate but small packs have been produced the past few years a contributing factor in the favorable prospects for a larger pack this year is the increased acreage of canning corn under cultivation a special container is used for corn on the cob which is packed under vacuum the can holds four to five ears and has beads or rings around the side for added strength almira miss doris conner has arrived home from her trip to california and reports
