Plans are finished, and the main should be enlarged early in 1958. The city has been renovating key valves in the water pipes in all parts of the city this fall, so that water can be controlled, and repairs made in one part of the dity without turning off the water" in thti* entire city. Ma.Vor Cole pointed out that during the war it was impossible to make repairs, and after the war the department was unable to make them because of the lack of funds. Some old valves removed recently were dated Nov. 10, 1885, 72 years old. These, of course, had worn out long ago, and were useless. The city has now installed enough new valves to separate the city in three districts, and separate the industrial and residential districts. The industrialists present asked Mayor Cale several questions concerning the electric, water, and sewage treatment plants, and appeared quite interested in the improvements. Lowell Harper, outgoing chairman of the industrial division, thanked the mayor for his report, and cbngratulated him for the improvements started and completed during the past year. - NINE (Continued from Face On«) Lt.

Pearson was Canada’s external minister from shortly after World War II until this fall when his Liberal Party was unseated by the Conservatives in the general elections. Pearson retained his seat as a Liberal member .Qf_ parliament. "It may be said that what Lester Pearson has done to prevent or to stop war could not have been possible had he not been an active politician,” Jahn said in the presentation speech. ‘‘That of course may be disputed.” he continued, "but what I want to emphasize is that the peace prize has not been awarded to the politician or to the secretary of state aS such, but to the man Lester Pearson because of his personal qualities, his powerful initiative, strength and perseverance displayed in attempting to prevent or limit war operations and to restore peace in situations where quick, tactful and wise action has been necessary to prevent unrest from spreading and developing into a worldwide conflagration." Jahn said Pearson’s efforts toward settling international disputes ' both through his own government arid thp United Nations forged ahead in spite of numerous setbacks. . The main thing for him was never to give up.” Jahn said, “but always try to advance at least one step toward his goal.”

“ALMOST, BUT NOT ENOUGH” is our verdict on how close competitive cars have come to matching the SweptWing 58. Take style. Other new cars are “almost” as low in inches, but still seem high and boxy in looks. Some of them are “almost” to fins, but not enough to really make a difference. Then take performance. None of the

It looked to me like a Luger qr some kind of autonfctic pistol, and he pointed it, a£. me. He said, ‘Hey you, get over to that cage and fill up those sacks’,” Riley related. He described one gunman as about five feet, six inches tall, wearing an army field jacket with a black half-mask over his face. He said the other was heavily built and wore a scarf over his face.
