Notre Dame Church | of Cellars Saved CANADA'S NEWEST FLYING BOXCAR HANDLES "LIKE A TAXI" Canada's newest flying boxcar, she Fairchild C-119, took the thoughts of fledgling pilots off roaring jet jobs as it put on a flying display at Centralia, Ont., that topped anything the RCAF has ever done with transparent aircraft. A giant, lumbering ship that can carry tanks, trucks, cars, as seen above, helicopters, jet fighters or 81 persons, it took off in less than 1,000 feet, swoop- ed low over the air station, with one engine dead, ded and braked like a taxi slamming to a stop. Now being prepared for return flight to 435 Transport Squadron in Edmonton, where Canada's other "Packets" are stationed, the flying freight car, weighing 21 tons, is capable of 300 mph and is the most easily handled of any of the RCAF's big craft. It is also the best air- craft designed yet for the carry- ing of paratroopers and supplies. On a mission over enemy terri- tory the big ship could discharge 42 paratroopers and 10,000 pounds of equipment in eight seconds. Toronto Rush Hour What A Headache! TORONTO (CP) -- Across the southern edge of Toronto stretches highway intended to speed traf- fie along the Lake Ontario shore- from one side of the eity to other. Motorists driving over it from the western entrance pass over the Humber river bridge, roll through the heart of Sunnyside amusement srea, skirt the Canadian National Exhibition grounds and Maple Leaf Stadium, them traverse the water- front and a busy industrial area before passing Woodbine racetrack and heading for the eastern exit. Suburban growth, coupled with a fremendous increase in the number of automobiles in use in the area, ereated congestion and bottleecks along the driveway patterned af- ter Chicago's famous Michigan Boulevard. RUSH HOUR JAM d Untangling the rush hour chaos is to be one of the first major fashe of the new metropolitan Tor- ento council. Planners from Tr- onto and the 12 other 'federated municipalities are thinking in terms of elevated super-highways to lift through-traffic out of the local flow. : No. 1 bottleneck is at the city's western entrance, where traffic from the Queen Elizabeth Way, the fine super-highway linking Tor- onto and Niagara Falls, merges with through and local traffic on No. 2 trans-provincial highway which runs from Windsor to Mont- real. \ Two main possibilities are under consideration for eliminating this bottleneck. One includes building a raised six-lane super-highway east- ward from west of the present single bridge over the Humber river, The other is to improve roads at ground level and erect a second Humber bridge. A third idea is to detour Queen Elizabeth Way traffic by way of Toronto Island, which lies across the harbor mouth. This would in- volve building causeways fo link CODICIL? Odd reptile, isn't it? But not nearly as ~ formidable as {echnical terms are to the amateur executor. Nor as puzzling as the intricate detail involved in administering an estate. Succession duties--investments--real estate income taxes--accounting--each calls for a specialized knowledge. Amateurs must consult professionals--at the expense of the estate, National Trust, as your Executor, provides experts on every phase of estate management ; § § at no extra cost. Men whose experience can effect savings that often total more than the moderate overall fee. For your own peace of mind, arrange an interview with one of our Trust Officers.

PARK MUST GO Most authorities are agreed that virtually any improvement plan will call for the moving of Sunny- side amusement park from the west-end site it has occupied for more than 30 years. The amuse- ments now are on either side of the highway and children and adults surge back and forth across Syegesied that Sunnyside be moved the busy thoroughfare. It has been to the exhibition grounds about a mile to the east. The proposed superhighway would skirt the northern edge of exhibition park itself, running par- allel with the Canadian National Railways line. An elevated road would take traffic through the central industrial area which lies west of the Union station. Fred Gardiner, super-mayor of metropolitan Toronto, foresees the eventu possibility of ¢ lending the exp. way farther a.ong the lake- front by building a breakwater un- der the Scarboro Bluffs east of the city and cutting into the bluffs for a road surface to connect with existing highways to the east. White Scalps In Old Days MONTREAL (CP)--When the Ih- dians were on the war-path, Mont- realers went underground. And un- derground to the city's early in- habitants meant the cellars of his- toric Notre Dame Church at Place d'Armes, near the waterfront. Besides saving many a white scalp, these cellars were used for many other purposes. Rev. J. B, Vinet, rector of the church, says the church basement originally was a cemetery, moved in later years to make way for an asphalt floor. But one body was left interred in the old cemetery--that of James O'Donnell, the church's architect. O'Donnell, a Protestant from New York, became a Roman Catholic before he died. The cellars also were used to store wines for the first priests who came here from France. The wine bottles are still there--cov- ered with dust--but empty.

The animals were the property of a partnership between Clara | Medwedowsky and Aaron Bojman. The case arose over the sale of the cattle which Bojman said was unauthorized. When the two were charged they claimed they had ac- ted on legal advice, but the trial judge had refused to allow the | lawyer to give evidence, KIDNEY ACIDS Rob yourRest.. Man ihe eo.
