"He didn't frighten me a bit," said 70-year-old Mrs. Helen Young today after coming face-to-muzzle with a revolver-wielding gunman in her Oshawa store Fri- day night. "I'm too old a bird in the game to be frightened,'* Mrs. Young told The Times today. 'I could have hand- ed over the money, I sup- pose. I was insured against that kind of business." Mrs. Young said a man walked into her Candy Kit- chen, 86 Simcoe: St. S., at about 7:45 p.m. last night. He paid 10 cents for a bag of potato chips, then, refer- ring to the cash register, ordered Mrs. Young to: "Open that thing up." "What for?" replied Mrs. Young. "I'm telling you to open that damn thing up," said the man. AND HE FORGOT HIS POTATO CHIPS "Get the hell out of here," Mrs, Young told the man-- who then produced a gun in a plastic bag from under his coat and threatened: "Do you want me to shoot you?" "Shoot if you want to,'"' replied Mrs. Young, and, turning toward the back of her shop, added: "Come out here officer." ut! Gunman Told-He Left being about 30 years old with a brush cut and wear ing a brown overcoat. no officer in there," said the man. "That's what you think," said Mrs. Young, and the would-be robber fled from the store "He didn't seem scared but he appeared to be a bit on the cocky side," Mrs, Young told The Times. "And he left his potato chips,"' she laughed. She described the man as "There's City police detective ser- geant John MacDermaid in- vestigated the attempted robbery. Police are checks ing fingerprints on the chip ag And Mrs, Young, today, is carrying on business as usual, just as she has done for the past 35 years.

Friday night, accompanied by a heavy police guard, members of the government took part in the traditional torchlight cere- mony marking the Greek Ortho- dox Church Good Friday. Only about one-third of the usual number of onlookers were present, but a torrential shower an hour before the parade may have been responsible for the poor attendance. Earlier in the day, the new government was busy mending diplomatic fences and allowed journalists to visit several oppo-| sition leaders arrested when the regime came to power in a coup eight days ago. The U.S. and British embas- sies were willing to resume nor- mal business with the govern- ment in view of Kinz Constan- tine's apparent grudging ac- ceptance of the regime, in- formed sources said.

A party of Greek journalists was taken to see Glezos, ar- rested when the army seized power, The regime Friday night also pledged that Greece would re- main a country of true justice and strongly criticized foreign radio stations and news media for 'reports that the regime planned to execute Glezos.

(CP)-- Southern Albertans began stir- ring today from under a wet blanket of snow that Friday iso- lated many farms, stranded scores of motorists and raised fears of serious spring flooding and widespread damage to crops and livestock.

"How wrong I was,". Mr. Pearson told reporters in reca!l- ing the feelings he once enter- tainéd about the idea of a world's fair on the St. Lawrence River site. Following an afternoon tour of the wite now swarming with de- lighted visitors, he also paid tribute to. Mayor Drapeau of Montreal as the man most de- serving of credit for the futuris- tic exhibition. The fair Mr. Drapeau had done so much to achieve showed that Canadians should "stop breast-beating and do a little tub-thumping."" It showed that any inferiority complex Canadians might have was groundless because "we have nothing to feel inferior about." Mr. Pearson; accompanied by a fur-wrapped Mrs. Pearson and a small official entourage, toured part of the Canadian pa- vilion and that of the westera provinces, shaking hands with some of his fellow fair-goers and meeting by chance at least one famous personage. This was Field Marshal Viscount Alexander of Tunis, former Governor-General. CONGRATULATES PM Encountered in a Canadian pavilion plaza, under a wind- whipped Canadian flag, Lord Alexander smiled at the prime minister, who récently cele- brated a key personal milestone, and said: "You look awfully well after your 70th birthday." When it seemed that the prime minister's energy was: lagging, Mrs. Pearson insisted she wanted to see the western prov- inces pavilion: Once out of the pavilion, Mr. Pearson bounded off toward the nearest minirail station where, like thousands of other first-day visitors to the fair, he entrained for a ride around the grounds in the neat, overhead Expo transportation system. Mr. Pearson said later there was only one thing aboit the grounds that he found at all ob- jectionable.
