She looked up and saw the masked men enter. The men, she said, walked towards her. | CARRIED AUTOMATIC One of them was carrying an automatic pistol in his left and, He levelled the weapon at her and said; "Be quiet lady and you won't get hurt. Mrs. Taylor began to scream that the bandits had escaped with $210 in cash and $70 cheques, They also took a pea- nut butter jar which held be- tween 3 or 4 dollars in pennies, Mrs. Taylor's purse also dis- appeared, This, she said, held about $50 in cash.

The man mainly responsible for the reductions is William "Bill" Crompton, city purchas- ing agent.

Oshawa from London, Ont., where he was assistant purchasing agent. Mr. Crompton and his three- member office staff handle pur- chasing for 31 civic depart- ments, including works, parks, fire and police. Since 1962, the purchasing office has issued 24,- 000 purchasing orders. Mr. Crompton interviews about 750 salesmen each year and the city buys from 1,200 suppliers. Large volume purchases, in addition to reducing prices, led Mr. Crompton's office at city hall when they hit a predeter- mined minimum, Commodities stored inelude: salt, sand, rubber boots, sewer pipe, paper towels, brooms, traf- fic paint, gloves, light bulbs, axe handles, nails, automotive parts, safety helmets and soap. For several weeks Mr, Bellis even had a sparrow stored in the building. It flew in one day and wouldn't leave so Mr. Bel- lis fed it bread crumbs and jpoured water in a pan so the |bird could have a bath.

Possibly his closest scrapes with death came during a three- year stretch with the National Fire Service of Great Britain from 1942 and 1945, While bombs rained down 60:to a dozen, Mart and 419 other Canadian fire fighters who made up a special war-time brigade kept battling block-sized blazes. Shortly after returning here at the war's end, Mart made long strides up the force's sen- iority ladder, becoming a lieu- tenant in 1947, a captain a year was the girl all right, But it was a big Mama doll. We didn't find out until we picked it up. The little girl was a couple of doors away -- safe and sound." Travelling is another of Mart's bigger hobbies, It involves $5,000 worth of mobile trailer and a log up until now of 10,000 miles on the road, with more to come.
