"ga DAFF + | See by THE PAPERS NEW YORK -- There was some- thing odd about the way the "'bish- op" of Brooklyn's Ideal Spiritual- istic Independent Church of Faith of America handled his congrega- tion: For instance, he would lie in a coffin murmuring incantations as his flock filed by and dropped $5 ~~, and $10 over his purple velvet robes. Occasionally, investigators said, he would mix in a likely number to bet on with his incantations. The Brooklyn district attorney's office, at the request of the Na- tional Association for the Advance- ment of Colored People, looked into the situation and found that "bishop"? Pierce Johnson, 61, had two $12,000 chauffeur-driven Cadil- Yacs and plush living quarters. He also had a prison record, and the investigators have added to it. They arrested him on a morals charge several months ago and he admitted later trying to give an officer $200 to get the charge dropped. Recently Judge Samuel Leibow- itz gave Johnston a five to seven year prison sentence for attempt- ed bribery. "T am sending him to Sing Sing', the Judge said. "Let him lie in a@ coffin there and see how much money the convicts will give him." , OTTAWA--Arden Whalley, 26, be- @an a three-month sentence in a Gounty jail after an experience that would shatter the confidence of any bad cheque artist. 'Whalley attempted to pass a cheque at a downtown bank last snonth. But teller M. W. Earl had nio trouble spotting the cheque as @ bad one. It contained a forgery of Mr. Earl's own signature. ; Detective Lester Routcliffe, who wmade the arrest, said Whalley "fcouldn't believe what had hap- wened". ' HAMILTON--Lovers may have ) limit their necking sessions to two hours on secluded mountain sites here if a proposed crackdown on misuse of sightseeing parking areas goes into effect. City council's transportation and traffic committee suggested priv- ate cars be permitted to stop only two hours at the Cootes Paradise Lookout. Ald. Ross Fischer said the park- fing sites were designed for tour- ists but were being used by trucks and car-pool participants who park their cars and continue to work in a single vehicle. '"You'll be cutting off the lov- ers'"', said bachelor Ald. Frank Dillon. ,"Two hours should be enough for lovers', replied Foley, a fath-}: er of five children. | GRAND RAPIDS, Man.--This is the story of a poor fish watching football. Ron Barrett, publisher of the weekly Grand Rapids Star, told how he was tossing a football around with his brother when it fell into the Saskatchewan River and was whisked into Lake Winni- Wee by the current, With a rewboat they caught up t the ball and found a four-pound " pickerel giving the pigskin a fishy - stare. They clouted the fish with @n oar and hauled both the ball - _ and the fish into the boat, ago little Lutz Bauersachs met a wolf named Lobo. They liked each other. Lobo and two other wolves, Prince and Sombra, were being trained at a nearby zoo operated by Lutz's father. Lutz and Lobo "played together all the time", the boy's father said. About a year and a half ago the wolves were taken to the United States to be used in a film bearing Lobo's name, Everyone thought Lutz and Lobo would forget each other. Well, Lobo came home Friday -- all 125 pounds of him. When his cage was opened he bounded straight for a delighted Lutz, now 13. WASHINGTON--Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy is proving she's not afraid to be seen twice in the same outfit. Getting ready for a state visit to Paris, a major fashion centre, she decided to bring along two formal gowns she has worn re- cently at White House functions. She wore them again at two state dinners with President and Mrs. Charles de Gaulle in Paris. At the welcoming dinner and re- ception at Elysee Palace, Mrs. Kennedy wore a_ one-shoulder- ed dress of white organza over yellow organza, with a back panel from the side. She showed it off in Washington at a recent dinner for visiting President Habib Bour- guiba of Tunisia. For the other formal dinner in Paris, a gala event in the Hall of Mirrors at the Verailles, she ap- peared in a pink and white straw lace she previously wore at a White House reception for mem- bers of Congress. MANILLA--A man attempted to fix a horse race here with a sub- machine-gun. 2 He came out of the San Lazaro Race Track carrying the weapon in a sack and announced to the jockeys anyone who let his mount outrun a horse named Director would be shot down. The warning seemed to have some effect. Director, 418-1 long shot, took an early lead, but falt- ered and fell back into the pack. The man fled without shooting anyone. Effective June 22nd, 1961.

Personal incomes and consumer buying locally measured up well against activity in other areas. Although the year was not con- ducive to record-breaking, what with the recession and unemploy- OTTAWA--An investigation has been ordered into reports that guards at the National Gallery have refused to speak French to French-speaking visitors. Citizenship Minister Fairclough, cabinet minister responsible for the gallery, and Gallery Director Charles Comfort have both inter- vened in the reported incident. Alexis Caron, Liberal member of the Commons for Hull, asked Mrs. Fairclough to investigate a complaint by a woman visitor to the gallery. The woman said a guard told her that Canada is an English country and he did not have to speak French. Mr. Caron said the incident dem- onstrates a lack of maturity in Obt- tawa on the matter of bilingualism. Some people seemed to forget that Canada was a bilingual country. iskaming Retail Sales Reach 80,000 ment to contend with, the local market was relatively strong. The figures bearing this out have been released by Sales Manage- ment in its new, copyrighted "'Sur- vey of Buying Power," which covers evrey section of Canada and the United States. For the Temiskaming population high level in 1960. Local residents had, in the aggregate, a total of $68,506,000 available to them for discretionary spending, after pay- ment of all income taxes. In terms of the individual family focally, this .was at the rate of $5,480 per household, an average derived by dividing income by number of households. With that much buying power in their hands, the stage was all set for an increase in consumer spend- ing. As it turned out, the gains were selective--registered by some lines and not by others--as the re- cession intervened and altered people's buying plans. Many would-be purchasers put off their spending, especially for the big-ticket durable items, such as automobiles and furniture, to a later date. Most of the gains that were made were in food, clothing and other non-durables, as well as in the service businesses. ; Overall, the results were good. Temiskaming retail stores had sales in the year amounting to $42,180,000. The survey shows, for each com- munity, just how much money was spent in its retail stores as com- pared with the amount that its residents could have spent. It does this through a "buying power in- dex", a weighted figure that takes account of population, income and sales. Temiskaming is listed with an in- dex of .2743, indicating that it is capable of producing that percent- age of Canada's total retail bus- iness. Since less than that was attained last year, .2606 percent, the con- clusion is that the full buying po- tential has not yet been reached. The Ontario Safety League draws attention to an interesting new amendment to the Ontario High- way Traffic Act. New cars manu- factured after the end of this year must not be sold unless they have affixed a red reflector, approved by the Department of Transport, covering a surface of at least 16 square inches. oh Buy mobucre se ~ cat >» CREATE.

The danger is increased if part of the air- borne object is made of metal. REMEMBER these safety rules: 1, Always keep to the wide-open spaces... well away from hydro lines and electrical ap- paratus. Warn others to do so. 2. Do not use wire or wire-rein- forced string. 3.
