DIL. Exquisite Of Decorated Eggs Chosen from a large number of beautiful entries, the Easter egg decorated by E. Bonutto, 81 On- tario Street, Oshawa, was chosen as winner by The Times - Gazette. The winning egg was beautifully decorated with rosebuds done in icing, and carried the motto, "Happy Eagter, 1954", and sur. mounted an Easter cake, which was also a work of art. Apart from the cake, however, the first prize was awarded on the merits of the decoration of the egg itself. . Most of the entries were tradi- tionally decorated Easter eggs in the Ukrainian motif, and the judg- ing of these was a difficult task.

Claim Massacre of 100 By Indo-China Reds PARIS AP) -- Agence France- Presse today said Communist-led Vietminh jungle fighters stopped a Cambodian train with mines and slaughtered more than 100° men and women passengers. The agency gave this account of the massacre reported to have taken place Monday on the Phnom Penh-to-Battambang line 60 miles from the capital of that Indo- China kingdom. Five hundred Vietminh attackers rushed from the surrounding jungle brandishing knives, rifles, hand grenades, sub-machine-guns and regular machine-guns. Wounded persons in the coaches were sprayed with gasoline and burned to death. Passengers who FOR SUCCESS IN BUSINESS What's the most important quality of an executive?

CLEAR INDICATION It is his opinion, the official said in a clear indication of American opposition to such a move, that such a truce would deliver Indo- China to the Communists. Senator Bourke Hickenlooper (Rep.
