BOXES BURN MERRILY City firemen quelled a blaze at the rear of M. Collis Furniture Company, 78 King Street West, shortly after 2 p.m. today. A quant- ity of cardboard boxes had ignited. At one time it was feared the flames would spread into the in- terior of the building. Cause of the fire is not immediately known. New Member (Continued from Page 3) them. He stated that the term 'Teen Ager' was a term that is too | often mistakenly associated with | "Juvenile Delinquency." Personally he thought the teen- ager of today is just what older people have made them. They are | just the same as you and I were, 10, 20 er maybe 30 years ago. He did not agree with the state- ment that the teen-ager is wilder and of lower moral standard and less intelligence. He stated that they are more intelligent because they have twice as much to learn and they seem to do it. Young people of today, are in- secure, shy, timid, self-conscious and possibly a little bewildered. Older people who remark that we did not do things like that in our day, should remember that this is not our day it is the day of youth. After the war came a short lived peace. The shadow of Communism began to make itself felt all over the world. Young people are ask- ing themselves what does the fu- ture hold and they are not getting a very assuring answer. In closing Bro. Barnett told his audience they are men banded to- gether in the interests of univer- sal fellowship and brotherhood of man. He challenged them to re- double their efforts on behalf of our young people. "God alone knows what problems they will have to face when they reach ma- turity, The seeds of fellowship that you sow today will tomorrow bear the fruit of citizenship, he said. Charge Driver With Assault On Girl Pickering--A 17-year-old girl's "date" with a married man led to the arrest last night of William G. Roberts, 26, of Frenchman's Bay Road, Pickering, on a charge of indecent assault. : Police said the girl was walking along Fairport Road, north of Dunbarton about 6 o'clock Sunday evening when accused drove up and dragged her into the front seat of his car. Pleading that her boy friend was expecting her and might be alarmed if she failed to appear, the girl agreed to a date for the same spot an hour later. She then hurried to police, When Roberts returned at the prescribed time he was nabbed by waiting > officers, who had been hiding at roadside. Crystal Beach (Continued from Page 1) Tonight's special meeting was called to prove the dismissal of Constable John Sandel from the local force but it is expected to deal with the whole affair. Sandel was dismissed a short time ago by Chief Robertson who gave no reason for the action. A petition has been signed by hun- dreds of permanent residents ask- ing that provincial police be taken in to clean up the situation. It is. addresssd to the attorney-general of Ontario. One of its demands was that before the province turn police authority back to the local force, there should be a change in police chiefs. This was effected by yesterday's action. The vigilantes blame the chief for the high incidence of bootlegg- ing in the resort. They have accus- ed him of failure to crack down on the bootleggers and other male- factors. . .

And they appear destined to become worse before they get better. . In those four years, Edmonton's population has jumped from 115, 000 to 160,000, double the J931 to- tal. Now Canada's eighth' largest city, its population is increasing 1000 a month as the magic of oil lures job seekers and the allied cheap natural gas attracts unpre- cedented industrial development. The city's growth has developed into a racking -civic-government financial headache. More houses, paved roads, sidewalks, parking, schools, sewers, gas, water and light utilities and public services are needed urgently. And the city has reached the bot- tom of its financial barrel. Alder- man William Hawrelak says?® 'In two years the situation will be critical. The city. is at the end of its borrowing capacity." FIVE YEAR PROGRAM Edmonton embarked on a five- year program in 1948, planning to spend $40 million on capital ex- tension of city-owned utilities. In the next three years $38 million was spent, instead of the intended $24 million. Most of the money was borrowed. It is a good example of how fast the city's limited funds are being gobbled up. The city-owned telephone system reports the waiting list for tele- phones has increased from 7956 to 10,180 in the last year despite 5200 installations. Costly conversion of the Edmonton transit system from stfeet cars to trolley coaches and buses, started before the second world war, is near completion. The Edmonton public school board, telescoping into about five years construction that normally would be done in 15 or 20, describes its financial plight as "critical." Planning expenditure of $5 million to $6 million in the next three years, it so far has been unable to sell about $2,400,000 in debent- ures to cover contracts already awarded for this year. The city is so pressed for money it has about decided.to turn a four-block downtown area, reserved for years for a civic centre that never materialized, into a business area where high taxes can be charged. A "miracle mile" project proposed by New York financiers, to give Edmonton an ultra-modern $25 million civic centre, was de- feated at the polls last year. FUTURE FINANCING City comptroller F.C. Ockenden says Edmonton's future capital ex- penditures will have to be financed almost entirely by debenture sales and capital borrowings because of its greatly-depleted reserves. He has recommended that new public works be restricted to essentials without which the city could not function. This year the city increased the tax rate from 49 % to 56 mills. Then jit set out to borrow $15 million. : : Canadian investment houses turned thumbs down and the city failed twice to sell debentures privately in New York. Financiers felt the ratio of Edmonton's bonded debt to its assessment--more than one-third of $140 million--was at the poini where further investment was risky. Edmonton finally disposed of the debentures on the United States open market--but only $10,468,000 worth at an interest rate jacked up to 4.04 per cent from 2.7. When 1947 dawned Edmonton was just another Canadian city, essentially a commercial and dis- tributing centre for a vast agri- cultural area and extensive mining development in the north. Then, in February, 1947, oil was discovered at Leduc, 21 miles south. Overnight a whole new era opened up for Alberta and its capital city. ISLAND IN SEA OF OIL This discovery--after Imperial Oil alone had spent more an $20 million in a 20-year-drilling program only to come up with 123 dry holes--led to hundreds of others. Edmonton now is practi- cally encircled by oil fields, some within 312 miles of its limits. Value of building permist sky- rocketed--from $13,183,000 in 1947 to $40,050,000 in 1949 and $46,579,000 in 1950, both years the second highest in Canada. So far this year they are $3 million ahead of 1950's record pace. Bank clearings, a good barome- ter of business volume, soared from $699,453,000 in 1947 to $1,205, 326,000 in 1950. They were up $16 million in the first five months of 1951. CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS | Total capital invested in manu- facturing plants last year was $112 million. Major projects under con- struction or planned for this year are expected to mean a similar story, $5 million extension to the CNR's Macdonald Hotel, to be Edmonton's highest building; two oil refineries at a cost of more than $20 million for British-Amer- ican Oil Co. Ltd. and McColl- Frontenac Oil Co. Ltd; a $5 million modernization of the Im- perial Oil Ltd. refinery. Planned are a $50 million chemi- cal plant by the Celanese Corp- oration of America and a $750,000 factory by Great West Garment Co. Edmonton is a possible site for a $4 million pulp and. paper mill proposed by Montreal finan- ciers and a $17,522,000 nickel re- ¢inery which Sherritt Gordon Mines Ltd, has announced it will build in Alberta, Traffic Mishaps (Continued from Page 1 bicycle, came out of a 'driveway in front of his car.

Great Garbo Anxious « pc Rl SE To Resume Film Career Hollywood (AP) -- Hollywood's silent Swede wants to talk again --but only on the screen. After a decade of professional inactivity, Greta Garbo, now 45, is moving toward a comeback. She recently signed with a new agent, high-powered Charles Feld- man. He has represented her. in talks with top-level executives of several studios. The best bet is that she will re- turn to her old studio, MGM, where she made more than a score of films between 1926 and 1941. Pro- duction chief Dore Schary and author John Gunther are tailoring a story especially for her. Meanwhile, the tall, timid, angu- lar girl who came here unheral- ded 25 years ago and blossomed into a living legend of the screen remains as remote as ever. Despite her self-imposed se- clusion and long absence from the screen, Garbo is still the inter- national favorite of millions. Her old films have had frequent re- vivals. In Hollywood, she is still the paragon with whom all other actresses are compared. Why husky-voiced Greta shuns contact with any but a chosen few is a question she has never satis- factorily answered. It is a paradox that by dodging publicity she has become one of the most publicized women of the world. Garbo lives alone, sheltered from intrusion by high walls around her home. She sees only a handful of intimates who form a sort of royal bodyguard. NO HUMAN ICEBERG To the public she's a phantom. Those who know her says she is quiet and retiring, a complete introvert, but not a human iceberg. Among her few friends--mostly 4 married couples connected with the movie industry--she can be gay, charming and witty. She goes out socially about three evenings a week, usually to small private gatherings never to public places. She sometimes has an escort, but there is no romance in her life. Miss Garbo is now a United States citizen. She took the oath last February. Born Lovisa Gustafsson in Stock- holm, the daughter of a merchant, she was a barber's helper and department store clerk. A small part in an advertising film made in her store- launched her career. Thereafter she haunted Swedish studios, taking small roles and studying at a dramatic school. Then Mauritz Stiller, Sweden's greatest director, made her his protege. When Stiller was brought te Hollywood by MGM he insisted that they import her with him. At Stiller's insistence, Lovisa, now Greta Garbo (it sounded bet- ter) was assigned a role in "The Torrent." She was a standout. There was no stopping Garbo. Matinee idol John Gilbert took her under his wing. She was his co- star in her third picture, 'Flesh and the Devil." With its release she was famous. Garbo and Gilbert became the great lovers of the screen. They became inseparable off screen, too. The period was Garbo's only social whirl. GILBERT A SUITOR Gilbert is supposed to have pro- posed repeatedly, but wedding bells never rang. They split sud- denly and handsome John married Ina Claire. Garbo stopped going to parties and began the almost monastic se- mer recess to undertake heavy re- No matter what had been said, he | wanted to assure, the prime minister | yg Ambassador to Iran Henry F.

Careerwise, however, she soared. Playing opposite the cream of Hollywood's leading men she siz- zled the silent screen in "Love," "The Divine Woman," "Wild orchids," "The Kiss," and "The Single Standard." There was talk that sound would stop here because of her Swedish accent. Her first talkie, 'Anna Christie," was one of her best. During the 30s she reached her peak in "Romance," "Mata Hari," '"The Painted Veil," *"'Anna Karen- ina," "Camille," and "Ninotchka." During her first dozen Hollywood years she earned an estimated $2,500,000. In 1937 her income was $472,602. She apparently is still well off. Her investments are handled by a New York firm. Garbo has never married. There have been no rumors of romance in her life for 10 years. But before that there were many. While visiting Sweden in 1933 she was reported engaged to a Stock- holm business man, Max Gumpel. In 1934 she made headlines touring Arizona with her director, Rouben Mamoulian. Two years later Noel Coward announced he was 'very annoyed' at rumors linking his name with Garbo's. A Wedding was predicted in 1938 when she and Leopold Stokowski appeared together at several Medi- terranean resorts. Some said it was love when she and Gaylord Hauser, Hollywood dietitian, were a two- some in 1939. Others said it was only their mutual regard for carrot juice and raw vegetables. Abitibi Ferry Only Link With Outside World Cochrane, Ont. (CP) -- An army- type landing barge, brought from Vancouver four years ago on a rail- way flat car, is the only link with civilization for 500 settlers east of the Abitibi river near this north- ern Ontario town. The Cassiopeia II, wearing a civi- lian suit of bright red and baby lue, plies from bank to bank of the 400-foot river by cables an- chored to each shore. Captain of the ferry is big Alex Brunet, employed by the Ontario Department of Highways. He and three alternate operators run the barge until Jan. 1, when an ice- bridge is formed across the river. All is plain sailing for them at this time of the year but they have their troubles in early spring when the great run-off of snow plunges madly downstream. Alex says the ice slams so hard against the barge that sometimes he thinks he may have to swim to shore. Winter and cold weather con- atures, the ferry has to make shore- to-shore trips at five-minute inter- vals so that ice won't form in its narrow channel. By the time the ferry service is discontinued, ice has formed on either side of the channel to a depth of three feet. From Jan. 1 until the spring break-up, settlers and workers from two lumber companies use the ice-bridge when it becomes thick enough to support a- steam roller, Highway officials say there may be a permanent bridge at the spot some day but not in the predict- able future. The width of the river and the small population on the east banks almost guarantees that Captain Alex and his ferry will be there for a long time. Air Tramway Handles Sand Moving Joh Timmins, Ont. (CP) -- Northern Ontario's closest approach to per- petual motion crosses a highway between here and Schumacher. It's a huge aerial tranway lead- ing into Hollinger mine and stretching three miles back over rolling, wooded country. or the last 24 years it has handled one of the largest sand-moving jobs in North America. The tramway really isn't perpet- almost 20 million tons of sand from a pit to the mine. The sand is used to replace rock removed from the mine so the walls won't col- lapse on workers. The tranway really isn't perpet- ually in motion. It just seems that way to residents who have watch- ed it in operation swinging along for as much as 24 hours a day, six days a week. Many of them regard it with considerable affection. Some snit- ched rides in one of the 224 large buckets when they were youngsters They also hold a great deal of affection for a tiny, pot-bellied locomotive, almost a half-century old, which works in the pit where the sand is dug. 8 . By FORBES RHUDE CP Business Editor When Canadian construction con« tracts first passed $1 billion in a single year, 1949, it was considered an extraordinary event in Canadian building. There was some speculation as to when there would be another such year. The answer came quickly. For, whereas it took 11 months in 1949 to edge past the 10-figure mark, it took only nine months ip 1950; and has taken only six months in 1951. MacLean Building Repors, Ltd., states that contracts let this year to the énd of June totalled $1,178,- 305,800, more than double those in the same period last year; and these six-month figures compare with $1,140,116,000 for the full-year 1949, and with $1,525,764,700 for the full-year 1950. June contracts alone totalled $382,300,800, compared with the pfe ceding June's $164,651,100. June engineering contracts were $214,146,300, up $175,709,400, due in large part to hydro-electric pro- jects at Niagara Falls, Ont. indus- trial contracts totalled $66,713,100, up $52,016,100, with the west sup- plying the biggest gains. Commercial construction, al- though bolstered by defence orders as well as by schools and hospitals, gained only $3,368,600 to $51,180,500.

MacLean building reports com- ments: "A construction project worth $1 million used to be considered a 'big job' in Canada. That was true perhaps until the post-war years. Now, in June, 1951, there are 23 jobs valued at more than $1 mil- lion getting under way, Armistice (Continued from Page 1) ment will prolong the fighting and increase the losses. "To ensure efficient arrangement of the many details connected with the first meeting, I propose that not to exceed three of my liaison officers have a preliminary meet- ing with an equal number of yours in Kaesong on 5 July, or as soon thereafter as practicable. "If you concur, my liaison of- ficers, the senior of whom will not be above the rank of colonel, will depart Kimpo airfield southwest of Seoul by helicopter at 2300 GMT oh 4 July (9 a.m. July 5 Tokyo time or 7 p.m. EDT July 4) or at the same hour on the day agreed upon for this meeting, proceeding direct to Kaesong. "In the event of .bad weather, these officers will proceed in a convoy of three unarmed one-quart- er ton trucks, commonly known as jeeps, along the main road from Seoul to Kaesong. Each vehicle will bear a large white flag. The con- voy will cross the Imjin river on the Seoul-Kaesong road about 2300 hours GMT, 4 July or at the same hour on the day agreed upon for this meeting. 4 "The convoy bearing your liasion officers to and from the meeting will be granted immunity from at- tack by my forces, providing you advise me of its route and schedule and the manner by which my forces may identify it. "Your reply is requested." FIGHTING CONTINUES While radios broadcast Ridgway message, U. N. planes hammered at key cities on two sides of Pyong- yang, the North Korean capital. Thirty - two Shooting Star jets blasted rail yards at Kyomipo, south of Pyongyang, hitting 100 rail cars. Carrier planes strafed, rocketed and bombed Chinnampo, port of Pyongyang. On the battlefront more than 20 miles north of the 38th parallel, allied tanks blasted at stubbornly- defending Reds trying to stave off U. N. forces approaching Pyong- gang, the northern apex of the old Communist "iron triangle." Chinese and Americans alike were warned they would have to look to their national defences des- pite cease-fire talks. China's Peiping radio warned that China's own defences would have to be strengthened once an armistice is effected. TROOPS TO STAY In Washington Defence Secretary George C. Marshall said this is no time to let down America's guard. 'He said plans are to keep U. S. troops in Korea until 'things are settled." Moscow reported the Chi- nese probably will keep their troops in Korea as long as the Americans stay. A field dispatch, delayed by mi- litary censors, said there was an unconfirmed report a new group of 70,000 Red troops have moved 'into position 50 miles northwest of Se- oul. There have been previous re- ports of Reds shoving new forces in this area near Kaesong. fe PY "3 YOU'RE you wish and we | 8 cHURCHST.
