Vd Ex-gangster Tells Story Ot His Life Jim Vaus, electronic wizard and ex-gangster, told his story last night to a large and interested crowd at Simcoe Hall. He related how, at «the same time he was working for the police, he was al- so working for gangster Mickey Cohen. While preparing to leave for St. Louis where he planned to extend syndicated crime, Jim, un- der the influence of Stuart Hamb- len's testimony, entered evangelist Billy Graham's tent. Before he left he had decided to let God take hold of his life and Jim Vaus was a changed man. Immediately he left hs life of crime and is now a minister of the gospel. Tonight, using physics; chemis- try, and electronics, the speaker will demonstrate the power of God as it can .be in our lives. Among other things he will use his ton and one half of equipment to send a million volts shooting through the YFC director's body. During the program the talented Salvation Army instrumental group from Bowmanville played the hymn tunes *'Bullinger" and "Mis- ericordia." Pickering Twp. Would Benefit If expansion of Scarborough Township water system is under- taken to add 10,000,000 gallons daily to -the system as urged to the Toronto Metropolitan Works Committee yesterday by Reeve Oliver Crockford, Pickering Town- ship would stand to benefit from the move. The proposal is that the expanded system could easily serve the thickly populated Rosebank - Rouge Hills - Fairport sections of adjoining Pickering Township. In the meantime, the Village of Pick- ering 'proposes to obtain its own water supply from nea hy Ajax.

BARRY MURKAR Correspondent PICKERING--"K. H. J."--Ken Clarke to Pickering residents -- has been chosen as one of the bers of a class this year in a Congratulati are t ed to Mr. Harold Sproule, 572 Simcoe Street North, who is cel- ebrating his birthday today. Will Provide Transportation Two deputations of parents ap- peared at a committee meeting of the Board of education last night at the Collegiate and Vocational Institute. One group from Bloor W st ask- ed for transportation for five chil- dren to South Simcoe School. The pils live two and a half miles the school. At present the parents 'are providing rides them- selves, but this method was said to be rather haphazard. The committee complied with the request and transportation is to be vided starting this morning. ither a taxi or one of the Com- mittee member's own cars was to be employed. The parents at the meeting were: Mrs. M. Allin, and Ken Abbott, both of Bloor West and W. M. Clark, Fox Street. SOUTH-WEST AREA The other group was from the district south of the CNR tracks and east of the new General Mo- tors plant. One of the men, Peter Chryk, 748 Oxford Street, pointed out that the new GM plant and re- sultant railway expansion had created almost intolerable dangers for the 53 children in that area. The school children on their way #0 Cedardale and South Simcoe used to cross two lines of rail- ways; now they have to cross six. Usually they used a private cross- ing just west of the CNR bridge over Oshawa creek. wBecause this was a private crossing, railway cars often blocked it off for 15, to 30 minutes while the engine took on water. Mr. Chryk said he had seen chil- dren crawl under trains or over couplings while the vehicles were stopped there. When College Hill school was opened the children went there by Park Road South, but this was just as dangerous. They had to face the streams of traffic coming out of the GM plant without benefit of any sidewalk; they walked the edge of the road. In addition they had to cross over the Bloor cloverleaf. Considering such dangers, Mr. Chryk said, the parents could not, in all conscience, send their chil- dren to these schools. GM has selv- ed the noon - hour problem by let- ting the men out at 11.30; but at 4.00 o'clock both the children and the men get out at the same time. 53 CHILDREN Of the 53 children in the area, nine are in grades seven and eight at South Simcoe, 17 are in grades one to six at College Hill and 27 are in grades one to six at Cedardale, South Simcoe and Holy Cross. Despite four months representa- tion at city council, Mr. Chryk said, no project for egress out of the area had been decided upon. He asked the committee to give some consideration to supplying a school bus in order that the children might have a safe method of going to school. It was decided that a committee from the Board of Education should look over the area in com- pany with the deputation either Wednesday or aSturday of this week. Other members of the latter dep- utatiod were Percy Cleveland, 34 | Valencia Road; S. Sparks, 39 Cor- {dorva Road and Patrick Sullivan, |44 Cordova Street.

Talks On By JAMES M. LONG | ROME (AP)-Britain called Mon- | | for a plebiscite 'on explosive | Trieste which Yugoslavia's Presi- dent Tito already has rejected. A British foreign office spokes- man in London told a press "con- ference recent statements by Tito and Italian Premier Giuseppe Pella created a 'new situation' in the old feud over rival claims to the Trieste free territory. He said the three Western powers will have to consider this, together with Pella's proposal for a conference on the subject. Even as Pella was making his proposal in Rome, Tito declared in the Adriatic port city of Split: "We are against a plebiscite now because of the policy of denational- ization by Mussolini. First the in- stices should be repaired. Then, after 10 to 15 years we could see. The people could freely decide about its future." Borba, official organ of Tito's regime, charged , that Pella had revived the old plebiscite propo- Britain Calls For Trieste sal only to disguise Italy's ambi- tions for territorial expansion. The Yugoslavs are well aware that Italy would have the advan- tage in such a vote, since about | 70 per cent of the territory's 380,- 000 people are Italian. The Yugo- slavs long have charged that Mus- solini shoved out more than 100,- 000 Slovenes and replaced them with Italians in a program of "denationalization." Pella proposed a free plebiscite of all people in the territory -- part of which is occupied by Yugo- slav troops and the other part, in- cluding the port city of Trieste, by American and British troops-- to determine whether the whole area should be handed over to Italy or Yugoslavia. ; THIEF TAKES TIME BRANTFORD (CP)--A thief has the National Defense Course, a project conducted by United Na- tions.

While many of them had been privileged to visit the grounds on previous occasions they still found new flowers to marvel at. Despite the extreme heat and drought of recent weeks the grounds, shrubs and flowers were at their glorious best. Many ex- hausted by their exertions on the golf course relaxed for a short time watching the play of the fountains in the formal garden or luxuriated in the beauty of the floral beds. Later in the evening the Rotar- ians gathered at Hotel Genosha for a round of entertainment and dinner. In charge of the arrange- ments were Rotarian Hayden Mac- donald and the members of the Friendship Day Committee and no stone was left unturned to make the event an unparalleled success.

STRESS SAFE RIDING We have been asked by the vil- lage authorities to warn all bi- cycle-riders, that the continued riding of bicycles on the sidewalk in a reckless manner will have to be stopped. Several complaints have been received of riders, most- ly junior, riding at high speed and not steering far enough away from the pedestrian. The Police Chief; High and Pub- lic School authorities are being asked to emphasize the points of safety and safe riding with all pupils. While the Council does not wish to prohibit riding on the side- walks, and thus force the young riders on to the Highway, never- theless those. walking have first right on the sidewalk.
