Mayor McCallum thought that there were more important projects pending than a City ge? +* * Authorized the erection of some 100 new aluminum street signs on all of Simcoe Street, all of King Street and Ritson Road south of King Street.

It was then that Alderman R. D. Humphreys moved the resolution that resulted in a unanimous vote that the company be asked to state its position within seven days. In connection with this debate, Council received three letters from A. W.. S. Greer, K.C,, representing the neighborhood association pro- testing that its members, who are vitally interested in the outcome, were not kept informed of progress of mnego'iations between the city and the transport company. Coun- cil decided to forward him a copy of the resolution it passed last night. Tree Cutting (Continued from Page 1) promised, however, that nothing more would be done about the tree removal until a report had been re- ceived from Mr. Shreve, Earlier council members had dis- cussed the matter with Alderman Alex Ross urging that longer brack- ets be placed on the poles so that the trees could be saved. He was firmly opposed to removing them, he said. To a suggestion that the was pointed out that this work would cut through the roots and destroy the trees in any event. "IT still think it is a good idea to put the wires underground' and save the trees," Alderman Evelyn Bateman said. "We can always raise dollars but we can't raise trees." Protests Stopped Work W. T. Dempsey, City Engineer, in a reply to a question by Mayor McCallum, said he did not have figures for the cost of underground wiring. Since the protests had been received, all work on the pro- gram to install new lighting on Simcoe Street had been stopped. Alderman R. D. Humphreys said that way would have to be made for progress but Alderman Bate- man couptered that it was not pro- gressive to remove the mnatural beauty of the city. She pointed out thet in many old cities there are beautiful tree-lined boulevards and thought that a young city like Oshawa could plan to grow without marring its beauty. It was finally decided to ask Mr. Shreve if some solution could not be reached even though it might involve consultation with tree ex- NO FARE BOOST Toronto, June 15--(CP)--Mayor Hiram McCallum said™ Monday there will be no increase in the Toronto .

Spotlight ECHO FROM PAST Toronto, June 15 -- (CP) --Prime Minister Mackenzie King was amus- ed during his week-end visit here by a proclamation in the officers' mess of the Queen's York Rangers, offering' a reward of £1,000 (ap- proximately $3,850) for the capture | of 'his grandfather. Grandfather William Lyon Mackenzie led the Upper Canada rebellion of 1837. CATTLE ON RAMPAGE Lindsay, June 15 -- (CP) -- Nine cattle worth $1,000 caused $200 worth of damage to tomb- stones they knocked over when they briefly had the run of downtown Lindsay Monday. Es- capees from an overturned truck, the cattle were finally herded to the town's weighing scales and captured. PROTESTS BY-LAW Long Branch, June 15 -- (CP) -- Funeral Director G. H. Hoglz said Monday he «would fight a charge that he had violated a town Zoning | bylaw by conducting a funeral in a | restricted residential area. His de- fence? He said his business was established before passed in 1946. TRICK TAKE-OFFS 'Toronto, June 15 -- (CP) -- Seaplanes are taking off almost daily at Toronto's DeHavilland Airport--seven miles from the nearest large body of water. Test pilots fly their planes off land by using a portable dolly, left behind after the take-off. Then they land them on water at the Island Airport here for delivery to customers, FISH TRANSFER Niagara Falls, June 15 -- (CP)-- More than 1,000 fish were trans- ferred to nearby Gibson Lake from the St. Catharines reservoir over the week-end. Removal of the fish was forced because the reservoir was drained for summer repairs. CLERK APPOINTED Toronto, June 15--(CP)--City Council early today appointed Edgar Norris, 45-year-old head of the city's purchasing divi- sion, deputy city clerk. The ap- pointment came as a surprise because earlier in the debate it appeared as if J. 0. Woodhouse of the city clerk's department, would obtain the position. the bylaw was | | Criminal Code (Continued from Page 3) | Fraser Valley. Farmers wanted to | know what to except by way of fi- nancia laid. The house later resumed study of | Health Department estimates and | ieard Health Minister Martin say he was considering what could be done to prevent those suffering from incurable = diseases from being thhrewn on public charity. Piloting the crimianl code amend- ments, Mr. Ilsley said the govern- ment was wa'ching the trend to- wards modification of capital pun- ishment in Britain but did not plan any change in the death penalty as apolied to murder in this country, Jcin Diefenbaker (PC--Lake Cen- tre), western criminal lawyer, sug- gested the Justice Department seek to determine the value of capital punishment as a deterrent, but Mr. Ilsley said he did not think it pos- sible to come to any definite conclu- sicn. Petty crime came before the | cham when it studied an amend- | ment which would authorize judkes, | in cases invelving breaches of the | peace, to bind the complainant as | well as the defendant to keep the | peace. Drop Provision | Opposition members objected that this was too extensive a departure and Mr. Ilsley agreed to drop the provision. He said he, too, had ques- tioned its value but had been told it was necessary sometimes in deal- ing with disputing neighbors. T. L. Church (PC -- Toronto Broadview) urged unsuccessfully that drivers who fail to stop .after an accident be subject to a murder charge if the injured person dies later in hospital. He also suggested the code be amended to make clear how far a policeman can go in firing at an alleged criminal. They now could fire two shots in the air before fir- ing directly at the suspect. Persons sought for minor offences scme- times were killed. Mr, Ilsley reported a minimum prison sentence of one year was he- ing provided for thefts from mail. The strengthening of the law against sexual psychopaths is Can- ada's first major move against these offenders. Once the person has been con- victed, the court now may call on two psychiatrists to examine him and testify on his sexua] behavior. If the court is satisfied he is a crim- inal sex pervert, it may sentence him to a minimum of two years im- priscnment and to an "indetermin- ate period" thereafter. Jean Francois Pouliot (Ind. L-- Temiscouata) said no compassion should be shown to "monsters' who killed young children in sex crimes. Mr. Ilsley snid there was "no timentality x1 the provision. Turning to crime comics, he r ported that a chanse outlay publications devoted exclusively to such subjects could easily turned against bcoks and newspd pers containing crime pictures. At the same time, he had be unable to find proof that sud comics, although they were "shocking abuse of the freedc the press, actually contributed, wards juvenile delinguency.

It's at the cosmetic counter and in the hardware department. You find it more and more whenever you shop--as nylon hosiery, fabrics and bristles, in new plastic articles and as "Cellophane" wrappings to protect A goods and make them more attractive. The chemical industry never stands still. It continues to create new useful products and to improve many old ones. It contributes to the well-being of all of us. . . with the C.I-L oval the symbol of an organization devoted to serving Canadians through chemistry. LL
