Bank staffs invited to view the line-up which Includéd Yormier convicts and men of good reputa- tion used as "fillers," were from bank branches at Smithville, Fen- wick, Etobicoke, Norwich, Water- down and Campbellville, scenes of hold-ups or attempted hold-ups. Phases of the seemingly-fantas- tic story being checked were that although the gangs operated indi- vidually, relations between them were good. If Gang No. 1 planned a job and a man was unable to parti- cipate due to illness, Gang No. 2 would loan a replacement, The story of the "double raid" on the bank branch at Norwich could not be confirmed officially. Gang No. 1 was reported to have gone to Norwich and turned back without loot by the bank staff while Gang No. 2, in a stolen car, wag speeding to the scene from Toronto. When a report of the frustrated hold-up was heard over the radio of the stolen vehicle, Gang No. 2 was re- ported to have turned back.

Featur- ing all the different events of the contest rodeo, the cowboys and cowgirls of the Cherokee Rodeo went through their paces before an Alexandra Park. The show started with a grand parade in which all the riders, along with Ticklebritches, the clown, cir- cled the enclosed area in front of the grandstand and then were in- troduced. There were riders there from all over the west, and from both Can- wada and the United States. They ~ put on a thrilling display of steer riding first with the big white Erahma bulls snorting and crow- hopping in a usually vain effort to throw the rider. One big snorter pawed the air to a fair-the-well and his rider found himself sitting on his britches in the mud long before the required ten seconds were up. The events followed close after one another with each of the more thrilling * parts followed by the re- markable antics of our ancient friend Ticklebritches and his don- key Bob Hope. At one time the boys in the audience were invited down into the riding area for a chance to see if they could stay on the donkey. But Bob Hope took on all comers and threw them all, till one little chap was shown the technique of riding the animal. He got on in the required manner and lo, the ride was accomplished.

The Icebreaker N. B. MacLean, now near Belle Isle Straits, between Newfoundland and Labrador, 1,200 miles away, has been ordered to pro- ceed to Cape Dorset to take the crew and passengers to Churchill as there is said to be no hope of the Nascopie being refloated. She will reach the Nascopie in four or five days. Details of the accident were not known immediately, but the vessel must be largely under water be- cause the terse message said the passengers 'and crew had lot all their personal belongings which would not have been the case had they had time to recover them.

The fight, which began Sunday with the Dutch acting first, origin- ated in disagreements over the fu- ture government of the East Indies, rich in oil. rubber, sugar, tin and other products. : Dutch troops, mainly United States-trained marines, were said to have captured four East Java coastal points after going ashore from naval vessels in a large-scale operation yesterday. They were re- ported to have established bridge- heads along a 55-mile coastal road between two of those points--Pro- bolinggo and Sitoebondo. Isolation Tactics First reports from Sumatra said Dutch troops jumped off in local actions at three towns on that big island northwest of Java--Medan in the north, Palembang in the southeast and Padang in the middle --and had completed the Padang operation without casualties. On Java itself, most populous is- land of the East Indies, news bulletins and communiques from both sides indicated that at least seven Dutch operations were under way in what observers interpreted as an attempt to pinch off the re- public into isolated segments for a final cleanup. Get All Objectives A Dutch army communique this afternoon, while withholding geo- graphical details, said that "all ob- Jectives for the first 24 hours were reached and at many points our troops even advanced much furth- er." The communique reportéd re- sistance less than expected. It list- ed Dutch casualities yesterday as 150 dead and wounded. On the other hand, a Republican informant in Batavia said the Dutch were striking stiff resistance in their drives from Soerabaja and Buiten- zorg. A high Dutch official said that when present objectives had been seized, perhaps within three or four days, the Dutch might half their "local police action," since their mis- sion then would have been fulfilled. tect ime INDIANS FEEL SORRY Timmins, July 22--(CP)--The In- dian in the north "is feeling very disconsolate and sorry for him- self" pecause the fur prices this year are lower than a year ago, Bishop R.

Jack German was nominated Chair- man, The theme throughout the hour which followed was the site be- tween Douglas Street and Ritson Road just off Wolf Street. It will surprise many Celar Dale residents when they stroll over to this area and find that physical changes are already in evidence due to the face- lifting tactics of Parks' Board level- ling machinery. With the fact in mind that there is no place in the district south of Fisher Street and north of Lakeview Park where chil- dren can play, those attending the meeting unanimously agreed that a petition be drawn up, signed by every householder and presented through the proper channels, to the City Council. . Sparked by the success of the Eastview Neighburhood Association and desiring in part to use it as an example to go by,--a plan which should flatter the Eastviewers--the Cedar Dale folk spoke hopefully and earnestly of getting things started this summer. Bob Coleman ,and Ed Kennedy of the Community Recreation Association dropped in to hear the views expressed and Bob himself addressed the gather- ing for a few moments. He emphasized, "The strongest unit we have in the city is the neighbourhood . . . , Every street must have a representative so that each house is represented at the Committee meetings. You should decide what the boundaries of your district will be so that you know what section you intend to cover all the time," he said. "Don't ignore one single individual in the com- munity." It was proposed that a widely ad- vertised. meeting be held next Mon- day night at 7.30 for the purpose of electing the committee of what might well turn out to be the Cedar Dale Neighbourhood Association. The Q.R.A. projection machine was set up by Ed Kennedy and a film entitled $1,000 for Recreation" was shown, It dealt with a small community which had difficulty in finding 'the best way to spend $1,- 000, One remark in particular might easily be remembered: "Rrecreation is a basic human need. It is the responsibility of the municipal gov- ernment--the people." Hard-working Parks Superintend- ent E. E. Bathe came in towards the end of the picture and inform- ed the people that the first base- ball diamond will be ready in about a week for its screen backstop. So let this be a reminder to all you neighbours in Cedar Dale to be present next Monday night at Ce- dar Dale United Church to organize Jour own Neighbourhood Associa- on, Sandwich West Votes in Favor Liquor Sale Windsor, July 22--(CP)--Resi- dents of suburban Sandwich West township yesterday voted overwhel- mingly in favor of sale of liquor by the glass.

Ask Advice and Comment 4,500 Have Colombian Visas, Claim Paris, July 22 -- (Reuters) -- The Colombian embassy here has asked its government for instructions on action to be taken concerning the 4,500 Jewish immigrants reported on their way back to France from Pal. estine and said to be furnished with Colombian visas, a spokesman for the embassy stated today. Meanwhile, in London, a Colonial Office spokesman said that the President Warfield, former Ameri- can excursion boat which carried 4,500 uncertified Jewish immigrants from Southern France to Palestine, had been impounded hy the Holy Land government, ~The spokesman' said this was in. accordance with international mari. time procedure and had been car- ried out in the case of all other illegal immigrant vessels plying to Palestine. The refugees had renam- ed the ship "Exodus 1947." Meanwhile, the Foreign Office threw the fate of the Jewish immi- grants into the lap of the French government. A spokesman told a press conference it was "a matter for France" to decide where the im- migrants go after they have been returned to French territory. The spokesman said a new policy was deemed necessary because "the British practice of deporting illegal immigrants to Cyprus apparently had an insufficient deterrent effect." He said the immigrants were to land in France Thursday or Friday and that French authorities had agreed to receive them.

Working with Mr. Harri. son are: Bernard Lawless, vice- president; George Finley, treasurer; Miss Ann Tefey, secretary. The board asked provincial offie clals for "advice and comment" .in connection with the erecting of a collegiate on the Bishop Bethune site, the school to consist of 18 classrooms, a general shop, a home economics room and two gymnasia which could be used for assembly purposes. Armed with the advice of the De- partment, the board is expected to approach City Council with the pro posal as the next step in a concert ed campaign to secure a new sece ondary school for the city. In the letter to the Department, the board pointed out that last year's Sept. enrolment at O.C.V.I. was 1,613, while the school was buil to accommodate about 1,000 stue dents.
