Committee Boom Was Busy Place BO ---- Fill to ca pac with an eager electorate, Doe wera: Committee Room on King Street was without a doubt the busiest spot in town on elec- tion night. Equipped with a public address system to report current returns to a terrific crowd assembled out- side, the entire scene was one of suspense and confusion as the glad tidings were presented to the citi- zens. Starting off smoothly with local subdivisions, accurate compilation of returns became increasingly dif- ficult as the committee members were lost in a maze of phone calls, requests for information, and the steady hubbub of the gathering By 11.30 p.m. struggling workers had managed to accumulate what seemed an evident outcome of vic- tory for popular Liberal candidate Johnny James, and from then on it was . v B, t the scene was one of array, with heaps of reports, tabulation sheets, and various mementoes of the event littering the floor of the em; room. candidate had departed on a tour of victory, and his support- ers with him.

They labour late into the night, and very often early morning over lengthy recapitulation sheets, com- ile re and hound some ate Polling subdivisions for final returng. Such was the case yesterday in Port Hope, as Returning Officer Erdman Friesen strove with his staff till 2. am. in an attempt to secure final returns from laggard subdivisions in Manvers and Cavan Townships. The unsung ladies and gentlemen who check reports, and pound the batteries of adding machines de- serve heaps of credit for their efforts to make elections run as smoothly as they do.

ALUMINUM has a habit of turning wp almost everywhere. But "far- thest north" was reached recently, when a U.S. Air Force pilot set down his aircraft at the geo- graphic North Pole --on a pair of aluminum skis. Aluminum's lightness - with - strength has made it the basic material of the aircraft industry. And because aluminum is only 14 to 14 as heavy as other base metals, a pound of it goes a lot further. Which is one more reason why so many manufacturers of so many products have turned to aluminum to help keep their , prices down. Aluminum Come pany of Canada, Ltd. (Alcan).

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A Mil. waukee detective said Monday night that Gordon Emerson Weber, | formerly of Kitchener, Ont., now claims he killed his father-in-law in Guelph, Ont., four years ago. John Teevan came to Los Ange- les to question Weber after he told local authorities that Rudolph Maier, 69, had died following an altercation in a Milwaukee rail- road station. Sheriff's officers here said Weber told them he cremated he body in a dump at Hartland, Ss. After talking with Weber earlier in the day, Teevan said he prob- ably would request a psychiatric examination. With Weber's new story, the case may be out of the Wisconsin jurisdiction. Teevan said he 'told Weber that the dump he mentioned had been searched and nothing resembling human remains had been found. The, Teevan said, the 40-year- old accountant changed his story ad clnimed Maier had been killed Claims He Slew Relative But Doesn't Know Where in a Guelph hotel following am argument, After Maier's death, Weber con- tinued, he purchased a trunk, put the body in it and drove to a golf course near Kitchener, where he burned the trunk and its contents and then buried the remains. It was four years later, Weber said, when he returned to Canada, dug up the remains and took them to Wisconsin. Searchers ~ found charred remains of bones, but it could not be determined if they were human. Teevan said no concrete evidence has been uncovered that Maier was slain. Weber's wife, Muriel, told sheriff's officers she believes he 'made up" the story about hes father's death.
