The eight-year-old from Dartmouth, N.S., with the spiky blonde hair and toothy grin fell under the wheels of a train June 14. His left leg was severed well above the knee when he slipped between two cars. The right one later was amputated below the knee. Several days ago, Larry was fitted for his new legs at the Ontario Crippled Children's Centre, 4 And now, for about 30 min- utes a day, he's back and forth Sales Slow For Ookpik OTTAWA (CP)--Gokpik .sales at Expo 67 have not lived up to expectations, but an official of the Canadian Arctic Producers blamed this Wednesday night on a misunderstanding abvut where the raw material for these Eskimo souvenirs comes from. "Adverse publicity on killing baby seals has not helped the sale of seal-s kin products," Eric Mitchell, chairman of the non-profit marketing organiza- tion said. Ookpiks are bird-like dolls made with seal-skin. And that is where the alleged misunder- standing creeps in. Eskimos hunt the jar seal. It provides most of their basic needs. It also provides the type of skin with which Ookpiks are made, The harp seal is hunted for its white skin. This is the type of seal that has been the sub- fect of a hue and cry about slaughter of baby seals. But it is not only the Ookpik gales that have been affected. "Two years ago the Eskimos were getting $30 per skin," Mr. Mitchell said. "'Now they are lucky if they get $5." Some 40,000 Ookpiks have been produced this year at the Fort Chimo, Que., Eskimo ca- operative factory, which has exclusive rights to production of genuine seal-skin Ookpiks. TOPLESS BAN ENFORCED HIGH POINT, N.C.

Des Simpson, public relations officer at the centre, says it's impossible to predict when Larry can go home to Dart- mouth but he hopes the boy will join his older brothers and sis- ter and his younger sister for Christmas. Meanwhile he'll be going to Grade 3 at the centre. Larry had just finished Grade 2 at Greenvale public school in Dartmouth when he apparently tried to hitch a ride on a freight train near his home. His biggest worry. when he recovered consciousness after, the accident was his chance of passing. However Edna McCready, his teacher said: "He just finished his exams and he made tops." The centre aims to make chil- dren like Larry self-sufficent and to send them home to com- munty life as soon as possible. Researchers are _ exploring the causes of crippling and experimenting with electrical- ly-powered limbs. Mr. Simpson says Larry will be able to do everything, except perhaps play football. He'll be able to swing and jump and run, although he may experi- ence phantom pains--soreness in toes and legs that aren't there.

Jaynee. Shearer, 37, was jailed on a grand theft charge and released Wednesday night on $1,100 bail. Since 1963, she has received $15 a week in child support from a former husband now Jiy- ing in Atlanta, Ga. The man sent the money to Los Angeles BOMBING HALT ASKED UNITED NATIONS (CP)--In two weeks of debate, five NATO allies and 18 other coun- tries have urged a halt to the U.S. bombing of North Viet- nam. Britain--reluctantly--was the only big power backing the U.S. raids. The Vietnam war is not on the General Assembly's agenda but it has overshadowed all other issues, including the Mid- dle East. Forty-nine out of 55 court trustees, and the county transferred the money to Mrs Shearer. Here is how the affair was described by investizators: The $19,065 was delivered to} her home in suburban Monta- bello Sept. 27, and investigators say Mrs. Shearer took it to her bank immediately. There she cashed it, investi- gators said, drawing cashier's cheques for $5,000 and $10,000 and putting the balance in her checking account. That day, they said, Mrs. Shearer and her husbard, Albert, a used car salesman, went to an automobile agency and got a 1968 car for $3,700. The car was picked up the next day in return for a $5,000 cash- ier's cheque. A day later, the Shearers| returned to pick up a $1,300 cheque _ representing their change. "The couple said they won the $5,000 at the races," a car salesman said. Then Albert and Jaynee Shearer went to Las Vegas for the weekend. Only $5,000 or so of the $19,- 065 could be recovered, the dis- trict attorney's office said Wednesday. The county auditor's office discovered the computer's error and issued a_ stop-payment order, The car was confiscated with only 28 miles on the speed- ometer, Tourist Projects To Get Grants TORONTO (CP)--A new poli- cy announced Wednesday by James Auld, tourism and infor- mation minister, wili help rural Ontario municipalities finance tourist developments. Mr. Auld said the first pay- ment from the {caeral-provin- al Agricultural Rehabilitation and Development Authority wili ist development project at Westport, about 30 miles north of Kingston. ties Island on Rideau Lake. Under the new policy, grants of up to $75,000 can be made for tourist projects in low-income rural areas. The federal and provincial governments will split the ARDA share of 75 per cent of the cost or a project while the local municipality will supply the other 25 per cent. go to a $67,500 community tour- The project calls tor develop- ment of a trailer park, camp sites, an artificial ice plant for the Westport arena, dock- facili- and pumping on Dock kers in the general policy debate have called for an end to the conflict. The 23 calls for a bombing halt ranged from denunciations of the United States by the Soviet bloc to a statement by External Affairs Minister Paul Martin of Canada that a stop to the air raids is of "'first priori- ty" if the war is to be slowed and the door to the conference room opened. The five partners in North Atlantic Treaty Organiza- tion who joined in the call for a bombing cessation are Canada, Denmark, Norway, Belgium and France. Others included two Scandi- navian neutrals, three Latin- American states, seven mem- bers of the Afro-Asian group and six from the Soviet bloc. British Foreign Secretary, LIEGE, Belgium (AP)--A series of human errors was believed to have caused the three-train crash in which 12 persons were killed and 75 were injured in Fexhe-le-Haut-Cloch- er near here Wednesday. Railway officials gave this explanation of the accident: A car crashed through a level crossing gate in Momalle, two miles from Fexhe in the morn- ing. This not only damaged the crossing's automatic signal and closing system, but it also jammed the whole automatic signal system at the Fexhe sta- tion to which it was linked. All this forced the signal man in Fexhe to operate manually both the Momalle level crossing Series Of Human Errors Blamed For Railway Tragedy gates and signals and the sig-| nals at the Fexhe station. In a matter of seconds he had to operate the crossing gates and signals, send a slow passenger train to a sideway track to clear the way for a faster pas-| station while another fast pas- jsenger train was coming in the jother direction. MINOR COLLISION First investigations showed the man let the first fast train go when the slow one had not yet cleared the way. There was a minor collision, sending the fast train on the tracks of the other fast train coming in the opposite direction at 74 m.p.h. HAROLD M.
