Photo by Dutton--Times Studio Huge Uranium Find Made In North TORONTO (CP)--Peach Uran- jum Mines, Ltd., announced today that it has discovered a large body of uranium ore in Northern On- tario, midway between Sault Ste. Marie and Sudbury. Officials estimate that there is more than $25,000,000 worth of ore in their present claims, most of which are in Long township, and state that mining will be a low- cost operation. The uranium-bearing mineral has been identified by Professor Frank Foward of the University of British Columbia and Professor W. Nuffield of the University of Tor- onto as finely disseminated pitch- blende. The ore is stated to also contain gold and silver. Various other companies hold claims in the area, including Pres- ton East Dome Mines. It is understood that Peach Ur- anium is negotiating with large interests which may take part in the development. PROTEST MURDER BERLIN (AP) -- British Maj.- Gen. C. F. C. Coleman protested Wednesday .to the Soviet com- {mandant of East Berlin over the fatal shooting of a 15-year-old | German boy by Communist police.

CITY'S FINANCES "IN GOOD SHAPE" Sex Orgy "Horrible" Says Christie's Judge BULLETIN LONDON (CP)--John Christie, self-confessed slayer of seven women, was found guilty today of murdering his wife. He was sentenced to death. LONDON (CP)--Justice Sir Don- ald Finnemore today described the sex-murder orgy admitted by John Rreginald Christie as "horrible and horrifying;"" and perhaps without precedent in human history. In solersn tones Finnemore be- gan summing up the evidence and pleas submitted during the 3% days the Notting Hill strangler has been on trial for killing his wife. Christie, 55 - year - old wartime special constable, confessed to strangling her and six other women. The case was scheduled to go to the jury this afternoon after Finnemore ' completed his sum- mation. The judge said: "I do not know whether any jury before in this country or perhaps in the world v has seen and heard a man charged with murder go into the witness box and say to the jury 'Yes, I did kill this victim. I killed six others as well over a period of 10 years.' ** Finnemore addressed the jury of nine men and three women in Old | Bailey court after Christie's de- fence counsel made an impas- sioned plea for a verdict of 'guilty but insane" and the crown prose- cutor countered with a flat demand for a guilty finding. Chrstie was detached throughout the morning as Derek Curtis- Bennett, one of Britain's most prominent criminal lawyers, de- manded: 'The man's crazy isn't he?" And "painted a picture of Christie as a killer who slew his wife without motive beyond a de- sire to ease her suffering as she writhed in a convulsion. { Terming Christie "an object of | pity rather than of horror," Curtis- | Bennett told the jury 'He is a| man who should be locked up for | the rest of his life." | Mother of Oshawa Man Dies In Millbrook Crash MILLBROOK -- A Cobourg and Millbridge woman were killed late yesteerday when their car went out of control on a grade, jumped the curb and crashed into a tree. Mrs. Elizabeth Ann Davidson, 65, of Millbridge, who was killed, is mother of Ernest Davidson who lives in Oshawa at 234 Bruce Street and is employed at General Motors. The Cobourg woman and driver of the car was Mrs. Morley Cane, 44. Injured were: Mrs. Mary Platt, 60, broken pelvis; her daughter-in- law, Mrs. Donald Platt, 25, broken jaw; and Susan Platt, 2, daughter of Mrs. Donald Platt, cuts and bruises. All were taken to Peter- borough Civic Hospital. Police said the five were out driving and were coming into Mill- brook on a county road. For some reason the car went out of con- trol on a grade and failed to stop for the main street. Pink Jumbos Don't Exist MADISON, Wis.

QUEEN'S VISIT GLASGOW (AP) -- The Queen rode today into the heart of the Scottish nationalist country and got the wildest--and friendliest--wel- come of her Coronation tour. Thousands broke through the po- lice lines cheering "We want to see the Queen" and the royal guard of honor got lost--many after their bearskins were knocked askew. There were at least 50 casualties. Women and children were caught in the crush and the 77-degree heat. A number fainted. At least one guardsman collapsed, too. The Queen was smiling and calm even as the crowd surged almost vithin reach of the royal car enter- ing George Square in the centre of this industrial city.

Teachers now can resign at the Present Debt $156 Per Head If each man, woman and child in Oshawa (assuming a population of 42,000) paid Harold Tripp, city treasurer, the amount of $156 this municipality would be free of debt. In the opinion of Alderman Joseph Victor, Chair- man of the Finance Committee, the city is in good finan- cial shape. It has hardly ever in its history been in better shape, he said on Monday night at a meeting of city council. Alderman statement of the city's debenture debt because, he said, there had apparently been. some disquiet among members of council as to the municipality's financial health. Back in 1933 '"'when a lot of us didn't know where the next dime was coming from, the city's net per capita debt was $144. It was as low as it ever was in the city's history in 1942, accord- ing to the Finance Chairman, when the figure was $77. Of course in those years there was plenty of | money coming in and nothing whatsoever was being spent. By 1955 the debt will be $182 per person assuming that there will be more major capital expenditures in the next few years. 20 YEARS ON The net debenture debt on De- cember 31 of last year was $3,236,- 181. Amortized over 20 years this debt will be discharged in 1972. At the end of this year the esti- mated debenture debt, exclusive of 'the sale of debentures for pro- ject now in hand would be $3,035,- 031.. However there are a number of debenture issues to be disposed of and when they are sold the debt will be closer to $6,500,000. There is the amount of $1,200,- 000 for improvemenés already constructed. Of that amount by- laws covering more than $600,000 have already been approved by the Ontario Municipal Board. The re- maining by-laws covering storm and sanitary sewers are being prepared and when approval of the Board is received a Court of Re- vision will be held. When this is completed debenture by-laws will be prepared. Another amount to be consider- ed is $735,000 for approved and proposed construction. Of that amount $516,000 is for approved construction and made up of lat. eral sewers, storm and sanitary trunk sewers, sidewalks, pave- ments and the Bloor Street bridge. ANOTHER DEBT Additional amounts which will increase the debenture debt were $750,000 for the sewage treatment | Victor submitted a® plant and $850,000 for the hospital addition. The latter however is not likely to be issued before 1954. Payments on present debt, ex- clusive of the other items listed, are as follows: 1953, $287,876; 1954, $278,070; 1955, $272,935; 1956, $266,- 647; 1957, $267,015; 1958, $265,240; 1959, $257,430; 1960, $255,768; 1961, $246,564; 1962, $241,949; 1963, $237,- 789; 1964, $224,336; 1966, $219,419; [ 1966, $218,752; 1967, $183,124; 1968, $113,178; 1969, $105,200; 1970, $61,- 793; 1971, $46,293. ' The amount of $1,200,000 will be repaid in 15 years from 1954 to 1968. The amount of $79,628 will be paid for 10 years and $52,795 for the next five. The $735,000 will likewise be paid over 15 years, $53,042 for ten years and $26,494 for five. Sewage treatment plant deben- tures for $750,000 will be retired in 20 annual payments of $60,182 as will the amount for the hospital addition, $850,000 in payments of $68,206.

Civil Service Age Limits Altered OTTAWA (CP)--The federal gov- ernment Wednesday washed out the arbitrary retirement age of 65 years for civil servants; raised the age limit for hiring older per- sonnel and lowered the age at which younger persons may employed. Under an order-in-council pub- lished in the Canada Gazette, pre- viously-prescribed age limits may waived when qualified candi- dates within the limits are not available. In effect, this means that the previous age restrictions of 18 to 35 years for hiring have changed and now are 17 to approximately 40 years.

Ontario's Marlene Stewart Wins British Women's Open PORTHCAWL, Wales (CP) Marlene Stéwart, 19-year-old freckle-faced golfing sensation from Fonthill, Ont., today became the first Canadian to win the Brit- ish women's amateur golf champ- ionship, defeating Philomena Gar- vey of Ireland 7 and 6 in the 36- hole final. Miss Stewart, stroking beauti- fully, finished the morning 18 holes six up on her Irish opponent. She played them in better than par figures for a card of 72. In the afternoon the Fonthill piss saw her margin reduced when Miss Garvey won the 20th hole. But with a spectacular iron second and a five-yard putt, the Canadian re- sumed her six-hole lead with a birdie three at the 274-yard 21st hole. Another three at the 22nd made her seven up. At the 27th hole the Canadian was still seven up after halving the four previous holes with her Irish opponent in par figures. The five-foct tall Marlene, who startled the Canadian golfing world in 1950 by becomin an Wom- en's Close and Open champion- ships, halved the 28th, 29th and 30th with Miss Garvey to end the match with the last six holes un- played. The pert Canadian, six inches shorter than her Irish opponent, hit her stride on the last five holes of the first 18 and was never seriously threatened after that. She did those five Holes jin better than par figures to complete the first round in 72. FONTHILL (CP)--*"How happy can a family be," said Harold Stewart, father of Canada's Mar- lene who won the British open amateur golf championship today. He had just been told by The Canadian Press by telephone that the 19-year-old sensation from this Niagara district town had defeated Philomena Garvey of Ireland 7 and 6 in the 36-hole final at Porthcawl, Wales.

My wife, Mary, has been taking "That's | or | the youngest | have had the jitters all morning. | headache tablets all morning. Now she won't need them." He added: "We were never confident that Marlene would win the tournament but we figured she would always be right up there fighting. She's a determined girl, you know." "Since this tournament started I've been as excited as a school kid. I didn't feel too much like work but golf is an expensive game and we need the money." TRUE OR FALSE?
