"I figured which direction it was coming from and walked a.long till the cries became louder," said the boy. "Then I looked behind the bushes and found the baby. His hands were tied with strips of his elothing to strands of wire on the fence and his feet were also tied. He was lying at an angle." F A few hours after he was rescued Jimmy was fully recovered from his experience and showed only a few bruises and scratches, thought to be caused by his struggle to free himself.

Service 5112 TIED TO FENCE WITH OWN CLOTHING Loss of his left arm in the Batâ€" tle‘of Caen hasn‘t halted the musiâ€" cal career of Ray Leonard of Main St. If anything, it has given the young Royal Regiment of Canada veteran added incentive to master his favorite instrument, the piano. So proficient has he become with his new left ‘arm" that he now heads his own fiveâ€"piece orchestra and plays mxthing from boogieâ€" woogie to Bach. . . _ _ >‘ Though he has been playing piano for seven years, the energetic veteran has never taken a music lesson. He learned a lot just watchâ€" ing and listening to other pianists. and carries his whole repertoire in in his headâ€"or egerhxpa his ear. Leonard served five years and three months with the famous Royals, went into the invasion of Europe_with them and. "caught it" on July 18. Wounded severely, he was struck by MG 42 bullets in five places, twice in the hand, once in the neck, shoulder and chest. One of his souvenirs is the bullet which had his name on it . . . removed from the top of his heart in a delicate operation after his return home last February. The operation was a success, but he will not be able to do any of the croonins for his orchestra. "Never could sing anyway," he Isughed. Wife a Musician i Last Aug. 24 was a big day for the youns musician. It was his wedding day, and it was through his musical bent that he first met his bride. Pretty Mrs. Leonard is also a musician, but her specialty is the saxophone. She hasn‘t yet sat in with her husband‘s swing group, though. o Besides their musical interests, the Leonards have another hobby. Ray is Scoutmaster of the Thistleâ€" town Scout troop, and his wife is leader of the Cub pack. _ For swing playing, Ray uses a small rubber r,Ealug itted over the hook of his left arm. But for semiâ€" classical selections, he has a special fork gadget with a span of exactly one octave, "It works fine on clasâ€" sical numbers, but it‘s no good for popular ones. I can‘t get any swing with it." Mrs. D. Pearsall Guest At First Assoc. Meeting Viceâ€"Pres.

Safe Found in Toronto ____ _ ... The safe taken from the Warâ€" time Housing Administration was found hy Toronto police in the rear of a vacant lot on Sullivan St. at 10 o‘clock in the evening. _ _ The first call was received by North York police at 10.55 p.m. when a resident noticed the door to the office standing open and notiâ€" fied a night watchman, who, in turn, phone:i. the po‘}ice. ho CGi Police estimate that the robbery had been committed earlier in the evening around eight or nine o‘clock. No one reported seeing anything unusual around that time, and it is believed that the thieves took advantage of the darkness to cover their movements. When darkness falls in that district, it falls with a thump, for their are no ‘lighu on a.nfi' part of the streets. Use Same Methods _ _ _ Each of the three robberies have been carried out in much the same fashion and in each instance the safe was carried into a waiting vehicle and carted away from the scene. ; â€" Reconaissance must have been necessary in all three cases, espeâ€" cially in that of the Trethewey breakâ€"in, for the safe in that inâ€" stance was located in a back cupâ€" Stymied With No "CorpusDelecti" The lack of co?us delecti has reâ€" sulted in North York police reachâ€" ir;f a st{mie in the case ‘of the Bx e of bones found by Harold avies digging a cellar across from Westmount post office on Thursâ€" dny‘ evening, Sept. 26th. n e on ne n Further investigation by North York police have turned up no trace of the vertebrae or pelvis and as a result North York police have only a number of arm, leg, and skull bones in their possession but legalgy they have not an actual "corpus delecti" on which to base a case. The provincial cPO“ce apparently are not interested in the case and when North York police contacted the attorneyâ€"general‘s office they were advised to file the bones for future reference.
