"He didn't frighten me a bit," said 70-year-old Mrs. Helen Young today after coming face-to-muzzle with a revolver-wielding gunman in her Oshawa store Fri- day night.

"I'm telling you to open that damn thing up," said the man. AND HE FORGOT HIS POTATO CHIPS "Get the hell out of here," Mrs, Young told the man-- who then produced a gun in a plastic bag from under his coat and threatened: "Do you want me to shoot you?"

"And he left his potato chips,"' she laughed. She described the man as "There's City police detective ser- geant John MacDermaid in- vestigated the attempted robbery. Police are checks ing fingerprints on the chip ag And Mrs, Young, today, is carrying on business as usual, just as she has done for the past 35 years.

"How wrong I was,". Mr. Pearson told reporters in reca!l- ing the feelings he once enter- tainéd about the idea of a world's fair on the St. Lawrence River site. Following an afternoon tour of the wite now swarming with de- lighted visitors, he also paid tribute to. Mayor Drapeau of Montreal as the man most de- serving of credit for the futuris- tic exhibition. The fair Mr. Drapeau had done so much to achieve showed that Canadians should "stop breast-beating and do a little tub-thumping."" It showed that any inferiority complex Canadians might have was groundless because "we have nothing to feel inferior about." Mr. Pearson; accompanied by a fur-wrapped Mrs. Pearson and a small official entourage, toured part of the Canadian pa- vilion and that of the westera provinces, shaking hands with some of his fellow fair-goers and meeting by chance at least one famous personage. This was Field Marshal Viscount Alexander of Tunis, former Governor-General. CONGRATULATES PM Encountered in a Canadian pavilion plaza, under a wind- whipped Canadian flag, Lord Alexander smiled at the prime minister, who récently cele- brated a key personal milestone, and said: "You look awfully well after your 70th birthday." When it seemed that the prime minister's energy was: lagging, Mrs. Pearson insisted she wanted to see the western prov- inces pavilion: Once out of the pavilion, Mr. Pearson bounded off toward the nearest minirail station where, like thousands of other first-day visitors to the fair, he entrained for a ride around the grounds in the neat, overhead Expo transportation system. Mr. Pearson said later there was only one thing aboit the grounds that he found at all ob- jectionable.
