~~ Z _THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, January 2, 1702 { Results of elections for 1962 offices were 'announced dur- ing the weekend at the end of a five-day session of the OLDER BOYS' PARLIAMENT ELECTION TORONTO (CP) -- Premier Robarts says the provincial sales tax imposed in Ontario last Sept. 1 will help the gov- ernment hold down premiums for hospital insurance. Expanding on plans outlined in his broadcast new year mes- sage, Mr. Robarts said the gov- ernment reluctantly imposed the new tax to help meet grow- ing costs in such fields as health and education. Revenue from the sales tax will help the government freeze health service premiums for two years while meeting the cost of a hospital expansion pro- gram. Mr. Robarts said Ontario has engaged in a program that vill add nearly 2,000 hospital beds annually during the next six years to the present total of some 60,000 beds in the prov- ince, He said the additional rev- enue also is needed for expa'- sion of school facilities, such as a $200,000,000. vocational school building program now under way. He noted that Ontario's school population is growing by Ontario Older Boys' Parlia- ment, meeting in London.

"I am confident that the peo- ple of Ontario will meet the chal.enge of the future, realiz- ing that government can lead in providing a climate in which in- dividual and group genius can advance, yet cannot create pros- perity alone," Mr. Robarts said. 'Let us be optimistic and have faith in our capabilities." The premier said more On- tario residents are employed, producing more, earning more, spending more and saving more than ever before.

But classes were f decorated for a New Year's Eve Beat Of party and the girl began walk- ing home. The family owns a German shepherd dog which usually waited for Deborah outside the hall. But because it had scratched the hall door during recent Sundays, Mr. Richards decided to take it home. The Richards' dog frequently fought with a pack of six to 10 stray dogs from the nearby In- dian village of Onbabika. As Mr. Richards drove home, the pack of strays followed him, barking at, the German shep- herd in the back of the truck. When he got home they turned back and met Deborah. Police believe the strays, worked up by their chase, at- tacked the girl because they smelled the scent of the Ger- man shepherd on her. The dogs tore off nearly all her winter clothing and mauled her body severely, police said. HUNT ATTACKERS 'Lhe fatal attack shocked the 300 residents in the company town and police authorized two men to track the animals down. Five dogs from the pack of strays had been shot by Monday night. Several others were still on the loose, "tAnybody you talked to had tears in their eyes," said Const. B. E. Dorigo of. the Ontario Previncial Police, who helped investigate the incident. Const. Dorigo said the dogs were attracted to the commun- ity in search of food. The dogs ustally congregated around the cookhouse of the Abitibi Power and Paper Company, which owrs and operates Auden as a wood-cutting centre. Wiliam Poli and Jack Ad- deriy, foremen with Abitibi, were given authority to hunt the animals. Police permission is needed because Auden is in a game preserve and there is a ban or the carrying of firearms there. Five Children Perish In Fire BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP)--Five children, all of the same fam- ily, perished Monday in a fire which swept their downtown home. The children were in their bedroom in the rear of the sec- ond floor of the 214-storey frame structure, firemen said, and were isolated by flames and heavy smoke. The dead were Dianne Bass, 8, Betty Jean, 6, Linda, 4, and Angela, 18 months, and a brother, Ronald, 5, all of 1309 Michigan Avenue. Their mother, Mrs. Henrietta Bass, 28, carried her smallest child, Jerome, eight months, to safety. By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special to The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Instead of being hailed as a hero, a London se- curity guard who, by firing five shots from a pistol, routed a gang of eight bandits who held up an armored van in which was a payroll of $290,000 has started a heated controversy as to whether such guards should be ailowed to carry arms. There have been questions on. the matter in the House of Com- mons, and views expressed that the arming of security guards on bank vans might lead to Chicago-type gun battles on the streets if the robbers were armed. In this country, the police do not carry firearms whie on their beats, and ob- jections have been raised in many quarters against security guards doing so while in vans carrying payrolls. The holdup which started the controversy was well-planned. As the payroll van was going along a street in Mile End, a truck came out of a crossing rammed alongside it, payroll van side windows were the guards. Then a mini-bus drove up behind the van, a grappling hook and chain were attached to its rear doors, the mini-bus backed up and the docrs were torn off. Eight men, wearing gas masks and armed with pick-handles and other clubs, jumped for the rear of the van. They were met by five shots from the guard's gun, and that was enough. They ran to the mini-bus, dragging one of the'r number who had been hit and raced off. Before they did Next General Red | Election March 18 MOSCOW (Reuters)--The Su- preme Soviet Sunday announced Communist Russia's next gen- eral elections will be held March 18. The new election will take place four years' almost to the day since the previous election when 1,378 candidates in a sin- gle list were named to the two houses of the Supreme Soviet, the Council of Nationalities and the Council of the Union. Some 140,000,000 voters were expected to go to the polling stations March 18 to drop their ballot cards bearing a single name in boxes set up in front of a bust of Lenin. Defend Interests Whatever The Cost WASHINGTON (AP) -- State Secietary Dean Rusk has told the U.S. ambassador in Moscow to make clear at the start of his Berlin talks with the Russians that the West will defend its es- sential Berlin interests "at waatever cost."

(AP) -- President Kennedy, entering the new year in search of peace, is authoritatively reported to feel an attempt by the Western al- lies to tear down the Commu- for what he calls the "'grand de- sign.' of the U.S. to achieve a werid of iree nations. But he dues not foresee relief from im- mediate tensions as long as the Russians press forcefully to en-|,- Attack Guard Criticized so, a policeman and a police dog were beaten to the ground with clubs. ONLY CONDEMNATION There have, however, been no words of praise for the security guard who routed the bandits with his pistol. Instead, there have been only words of con- demnation of the fact that he was armed and ready to shoot shoud the need arise. In the House of Commons, Arthur, Holt, Liberal MP for Bolton said the arming of pri- vate guards could lead to Chicago-style gun battles. He went on: "What happens next? Is the arming of private guards going to reduce these attacks or is it not more likely to result in these attacks becoming more victent still?" Several questions have been put on the parliamentary order paper on the same questions, for the Home Secretary, R. A. Butter, to answer. OTHER CRITICISMS " The security guard involved ©!was employed by the banking firm of Glyn Mills Ltd., who they are highly critical of the arming of the Glyn Mills man. Sir Philip Margetson, former assistant commissioner at Seot- land Yard, and now chairman LONDON (Reuters) -- World leaders exchanged messages Monday that contained a mix- ture of hope and foreboding for the new year. Soviet President Leonid Brez- hnev and Premier Khrushchev sent greetings to President Ken- nedy, echoing his hopes for peace, "There is no doubt that on the state of affairs in Soviet- American relations depends very much whether humanity will go toward peace or war," the Soviet message said. Frime Minister Macmillan tola Khrushchev he shared his hone that 1962 "may bring some progress toward a peaceful and satisfactory solution of the prob- lems that confront us." French President de Gaulle was among the statesmen who were more sombre. In a new year's order of the day to his armed forces, de Gaulle said' they 'must essentially prepare: themselves in Europe for the great warrior actions which cuvld be imposed on the nation and on her allies." In Vatican City, Pope John dedicated an early New Year's Day mass in his private chapel urged Canadians to try in the bustle of their daily life and seek ways of living the pre- cept "love thy neighbor as thy- self."

Police Searching For Missing Girl OAKVILLE, Ont. (CP)--Pro- vincial police are searching for Frances Arbon, 21, reported missing after her mother re- ceived a telephone call Mon- day telling her the girl had "'got what was coming to her." Miss Arbon was driving a new car from Oakville to a Sudbury dealer and was due back New Year's Eve, to vrayers for world peace in 1962. Later he gave blessings from his office window to a ctowd of 15,000 massed under bright sunshine: in. St, Peter's Square. In Ottawa, Prime Minister Diefenbaker said in his new year's message that Canadians can be proud of natidhal pro- gress during 1961.

It could have serious con- sequences. Giving them guns could Jead to all kinds of dan- gersus situations." The fact that one bank has openly admitted using armed men has alarmed the majority of security organizations, and they are expected to oppose any moves to extend the practice. The Glyn Mills banking firm, however, intends to continue the practice of using armed guards. Eric Faulkner, a direc- tor said: "We are fully aware of the risks. Next time we may get two of them. We have been ex- pecting an attack for some time, and we are glad it hap- pened as it did." lle indicated the bank's deter- mination to shoot if attacked again. Mr, Faulkner said his company had used armed guerds since pre-war days, and that about 20 of its messengers were authorized to carry fire- arms. ° There are two sides to the controversy. It will be up to the Home Secretary to decide whether any restrictions should be placed on the carrying of firearms by payroll security guards. As it was, in this case a payroll of $290,000 was kept out of the hands of the bandit because a guard was armed. cane BEKAE .»» For 62... at BUEHLER'S Specials!
