Mr. Allen a Toronto lawyer, was an al- derman from 1950 to 1955 and a controller from 1956 on. He In Eight BEWDLEY, Ont.

Some of the wilder local gos- sip about their wealth has it that the walls of the old red biick house are stuffed with money because the old men don't trust banks. Fied and Font say the four masaed men who kicked in the side door and robbed them early Tuesday were the same youthtul quartet who made off with about $50 last Friday. This time they trussed up Font with a halter rope, barri- calcd Fred in his bedroom and ransacked the house for a $100 bil), $15 in half - dollar coins, Robbed 5 Times Months feur watches, three shotguns and a rifle. Font figures the foursome read in the papers that they misscd the $100 bill Friday, "'so they came back for it." DOG IS FRIENDLY The faithful Maybee mongrel, Watch, wakened Font as the raiders approached in their car. But Watch just watched as the raiders burst in and ransacked the house for almost an hour. "He's a good dog," said Fred. "he likes to be friends with everybody." Font said the raiders were "resrectably dressed and quite polite' except that "one of-them threatened to kill me" with an iron. bar. The brothers reckon their losses in five robberies at more than $1,200.

In October, the brothers re- ported $250 stolen from a hid- ing place while they were away from the house. Maritime Union Accepted In CLC OTTAWA (CP)--The new Ca- nadian Maritime Union, recen- tly organized as a rival to the independent Seafarers' Interna- tional Union, was accepted Tuesday as an affilated mem- ber of the 1,150,000-member Ca- nadian Labor Congress. Claude Jodoin, CLC president, announced the decision by the labor -body's executive council. "We believe that this organ- ization offers seamen the ex- pectation of democratic trade union representation," he said in a statement. Sons Of Freedom Facing Hearings NELSON, B.C.

Electrically - powered auto- mobiles may be "very attrac- tive' for limited city use, says Dr. George Hoffman, a senior member of Rand 'Corporation, but "future piston engines still look the best and cost the least all around." Hoffman was one of dozens of speakers appearing before vari- ous panels of the U.S. Highway Research Board Tuesday at the opening a week-long study of programs designed to make fut- ure highway travel safer and more comfortable. Among the 2,600 technicians attending are about 150 from Canada. One of the most exciting pros- pects according to some dele- gates, is that much future high- Threatened Singer, Put On $500 Bond TORONTO (CP) -- Ameen Ganam, 27, cousin of television entertainer King Ganam, was placed on a $500 bond Tuesday and ordered to stay out of trou- ble for a year when he was convicted of threatening singer Tommy Hunter. Hunter testifed Ameen Ga- reg threatened him Jan. 2, say- ng: "Some people who don't pay their debts get their throat cut." The singer said he had been having contract problems with way travel may be electronic- ally-controlled, with the driver turning the steering chore over to special apparatus installed in roadbeds. Forty - six states are joining in experiments on electronic travel. SPARE TIRE MAY GO Hoffman said the height of the car of the future may drop as much as six inches but the length and width may remain unchanged. The _ horsepower race will increase; engine weights will decline and fuels may provide more power. Bet- ter tires and smoother highways may lead to elimination of the spare tire. Springs may be re- placed by torque - tubes or even liquid springs while shock ab- sorbers may be discarded. Among technical papers to be presented were a number by Canadians. G. O. Grant, Metro- politan Toronto roads commis- sioner, said use of an inhibi- tor -- sodium hexametaphos- phate -- in winter road salt solu- tions could reduce auto - body corrosion as much as 77 per cent. Sam Cass, Metropolitan Tor- onto traffic engineer; reported on an experiment whereby traf- fic flow was controlled by a re- motely-operated electronic com- putor. The experiment was "'a technical and operational suc- cess." TELL OF SOIL TESTS Prof. D. L. Townsend of Queen's University, and Thomas I.

Newsagents' shops through- out Britain handle the home de- liveries of all newspapers in their area. Individual newspap- ers do not employ delivery boys. The newsagents, already res- entful of the growing weight of Sunday newspapers, feel the color insert will start a trend among The Sunday Times com- petitors. They also are wary of| handling this free magazine section on the grounds it may cut into their magazine sales. Francis Williams, writing in the weekly New Statesman, ex- presses sympathy for the news- agents but feels they are mak- ing a mountain out of a mole- hill. It is not "really possible to argue," he says, "that British distributors are. incapable of coping with something that has been common practice through- out' North America for years." Union To Pray For Contract MONTREAL (CP) -- Mem- bers of the Fur Dressers and Dyers Union (CLC) pl d to roblem To add to the problem, how- ever, the new supplement will be printed at a plant outside London and delivered to' news- agents separate from the news- paper itself. The agents will have to insert the magazine and they want to be paid for this service. The Sunday Times, owned by ing of roads during the spring thaw. The present method is to as- sess soil grain characteristics. Townsend and Csathy, examin- ing frost performance of 126 On- tario highway subsoils, sug- gested better results could be obtained by examining the soil pores, rather than the grain. Prof. H. M. Edwards, also of Queen's, provided a brief pro- gress report on an experiment to determine drivers' reactions in slowing down on approaching cities and towns. The point here is whether drivers are getting the right kind of advance warning to cut their speed. Field tests, started last July, were conducted on the outskirts of such communities as Strat- ford, Odessa, Havelock and Courtland. More than 1,100 driv- ers were interviewed. Edwards said he may have his report ready by next May. Gordon Raps US. Letter MONTREAL (CP) CNR President Donald Gordon has told the railway's engineers company negotiators "find it difficult to avoid the conclu- sion" that the decision to circu- late a strike ballot among the engineers was made by the un- ion's head office in Cleveland. "IT think you will agree with me that influence of. this kind frum outside Canada on a vital matier affecting your personal interests in Canada is highly undesirable,"' he said in a let- ter to the CNR's 2,800 engin- eers. A strike ballot was. sent to engineers of both the CNR and the CPR after conciliation board repurts on their contract dis- putes with the companies were brought down late last year. Ihe Brotherhood of Locomo- tive Engineers (Ind.) rejected the majority reports, but the railways put them into effect as of Jan. 1. Mr. Gordon said in his letter, mailed last week, that O. J. Travers, assistant chief engin- eer of the union, had told the CNR the engineers would be asked their opinion of the con- ciliation board report. Canadian publisher Roy Thom- son, accepts this proposition but the figure suggested by the newspaper--about 15 cents for each 26 copies--has been re- jected. A spokesman for the news- paper said Tuesday negotiations are continuing and he is hope- ful of a settlement before the Feb, 4 deadline. It has been suggested that if the newsagents prove adamant The Sunday Times has other distribution plans up its sleeve. But the spokesman declined comment on this Mark Boxer, who recently joined The Sunday Times as editor of the color section, said the emphasis will be on quality, especially on intelligent articles and stories and good pictures. The Ear! of Snowdon, Princess Margaret's husband, will be the paper's artistic adviser.

Bill Geffner of Montreal, in- ternational representative, said the meetings in each city would be non-denominational and at- tended by clergymen. He said the meetings would keep 1,000 workers, employees of some 20 fur-dressing firms, off their jobs. Mr. Geffner said the union is seeking a 25-cent hourly wage increase in each year -f a three- year contract. Present basic wages. are $1.10 an hour for men, $1 for women.
