Cordner, 718 Upper Lans- downe avenue, Westmount \u2014 was buried in Mount Royal Cemetery, Tuesday, following a funeral service in Dominion-Douglas Church, Westmount.Mr.Cordner, better-known as \u201cAndy,\u201d died, Friday, in the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, aged 83.Born at Kilmacue, County Ar- magh, Ireland, he was a prominent Montreal businessman for .nany years, and had just completed his 50th year in the restaurant and catering business.Mr.Cordner left Ireland with his parents in 1885, and went to live at Chicopee, Mass., where he began his business career as a clerk in the hardware store of Homer Foot & Company, at Springfield, Mass., in 1894.Four years later he was promoted to shipping clerk, and in 1900 to travelling salesman.He resigned later to travel for Bemis & Call Hardware & Tool remained with that company from 1906 until 1912 when he came to Montreal and founded the Northeastern Lunch Co., Ltd., the first arm-chair self-service restaurant in the city.The firm soon had a chain of 11 restaurants in the city, and for.many years catered especially to businessmen, and to theatre-goers.When this business was discontinued some ycars ago, Mr.Cord- ner became chairman of the board | of Cordners Limited, and Industrial Caterers Limited, positions he held until his death.He was also vice-president of Ernest Cousins Ltd., Obalski Mining Corporation, and Giroux, Cord- ner Exploration.i He was a past president of the Quebec Provincial Restaurant Association, Kiwanis Club of Montreal, and the Irish Protestant Benevolent Society, and a governor of the Montreal General Hospital.Mr.Cordner was one of the original members of the board of the Protestant Employment Bureau, and also honorary treasurer for many years, In 1941 he was named chairman of the organization.Among other activities, he was a past president, and life member, of the Caledonia Curling Club, a life member of the Montrcal Amateur Athletic Association, and a member of the Montreal Board of Trade.His wife, the former Florence Ethel Bond, daughter of Mr.and Mrs.Rufus L.Bond, of Bondsvillc, Mass., died seven years ago.He is survived by two sisters in the United States, and a brother.Between you and me Man of many parts By Margaret Aitken Britain's new High Commissioner to Canada, Rt.as this session's first guest th Parliamentary Association meeting.He is a man of many parts and a speaker of both authority and humor.Lord Amory began his adult career as a business- From 1940 to 1945 he was a soldier, a Lt.-Colonel, and then he went into politics.having resigned from politics It is interesting and perhaps significant to note that Lord Amory's predecessor, Sir Sa- ville Garner, was a career diplomat.The present High Commissioner is a shrewd and experienced politician.He was lured out of private life by Prime Minister Macmillan to take on this job at a time when Canadian politicians were very much on the qui vive over the European Common Market.It can only be assumed that British officials thought Lord Amory might be more sympathetic and adept at handling the ECM problems, in relation to Canada, than a career diplomat would be.The High Commissioner was born 63 years ago.He graduated from Eton and Oxford.During his military career he took part in airborne operations at Arnhem, was severely wounded and taken prison by the Germans.In 1945 he was elected Conservative MP for Tiverton in Devon and for the next four years sat in the opposition.When the Conservative party returned to power in 1951, he was named Minister of Pensions.Through the next nine years he held a wide variety of ministeries \u2014 Board of Trade, agriculture and fisheries, and finally Chancellor of the Exchequer, meaning Minister of This week are up to at the

reduced taxes.Viscount Amory beamed.Mr.MacQuarrie went on to say it just so happened the Chancellor brought about his tax reductions in 1859, an election year in Britain.The audience of practical politicians laughed when Lord Amory indicated this fact of an election has escaped his notice at the time.oft recerd The CPA meetings are off the record and no quotes are supposed to be attributed to

don't think Canada is in any danger of ever becoming another American state.By the way.does a columnist like Pierre Berton appearing regularly an The Examiner re- tleet your editorial poliey ?\u2014Preud Canadian.Fditor's note: None oi the opiniens expressed in The Examiner's many columnists necessarily reflects our edit orial policies.These men and wemen, however, are not shackied by a hest of restrictions.We require only (hat their copy be in good taste.We have mot asked Mr.Berton this question, nor do we intend to, but isn\u2019t it pes- sible that much of what he writes has a temgue-in-cheek quality aimed at generating seme healthy controversy?Good ends can rarely be attained in politics without passion.\u2014 Gladstone The land of rice and snow By Pierre Berton N Y CASUAL REFERENCE to Eskimos and icebergs on the Jack Paar Show has caused considerable concern in this country.There's a strong campaign underfoot to maintain the traditional image of Canada as a sub-tropical paradise and any reference to such fictional items as snow up here are now considered subversive.Miss Lotta Dempsey, in a friendly comment is worried that I may have incurred the wrath of the advertising men who have for years been sending color photographs to Holiday magazine showing the palm groves and coconut plantations at Wasaga Beach.\u201cThe boys who write all those expensive travel ads won't be happy.Pierre,\u201d says Lotta, and 1 guess she\u2019s right.Mr.Gordon Sinclair took off his galoshes long enough to take to the air waves in a spirited defence of our climate, pointing out that, even as 1 talked, Canada was suffering from a heat wave that had sent the temperature soaring to a sizzling 57 in Calgary.Mr.Sinclair added that the desk at which | work is actually south of Boston.Well, either they've moved my desk or 1 use a different atlas than Gordon, since mine reveals that Boston is about 100 miles south of Toronto: but no matter.Thé point is well taken.There is nothing to do but recant.| apologize for spreading the canard that we have snow.The Canadian Tourist Association will be happy to hear this as it recently put a ban on all advertisements depicting snow, ice or cold weather unless the people depicted in these ads were shown to be smiling, laughing gaily or leaping up and down in hysterical joy.Thus, all photographs of citizens shovelling something white out of their driveways around 8 o'clock on a busy morning are to be; banned unless these citizens are grinning from ear to ear.I under- | stand that photographers have been standing by for 12 months now | hoping to catch just such a scene but without any luck so far.Possibly because we have had so little snow.Hot weather headlines Personally.I don't believe the Tourist Association and the press have gone nearly far enough and 1, for one, intend to throw my ; weight behind an all-out campaign to tell the truth about Canadian weather.Somebody has got to talk to the people who write the headlines and convince them that an up-beat is needed.This is the sort of thing ! have in mind: THOUSANDS SWELTER IN TORONTO AS THERMOMETER SOARS TO ZERO TWO MORE DEATHS FROM HEAT PROSTRATION in Royal York furnace room RESTAURANTS OKAY BERMUDA SHORTS AS FEBRUARY GARB During the next fall of wet snow I'll suggest this kind of headline: HUMIDITY MAIN PROBLEM EXPERTS SAY \u2014 NOT HEAT As for Gordon, I'd suggest that he might look into the legality of girls wearing bikinis on Yonge St.in March.1 suspect they are banned.A juicy item in itself, it will help get across the fact that the climate, at least, is a tolerant one.Approved TV interview Under my new scheme, TV personalities appearing on U.S.television shows will be carefully briefed by Tourist Association experts before cach appearance to produce interviews like this one: ! INTERVIEWER: How long are you in New York.Mr.Grebe, TV PERSONALITY: Just came down for a few days to cool off, Ed.INTERVIEWER: To cool off?TV PERSONALITY: Yes, it's sort of refreshing to see snow again.Takes me back to my boyhood in Alabama.You know a lot of people won't believe this but these months of unrelieved northern sun can get just a bit monotonous.1 mean day after day of cloudless skies.I tell you, Ed, it's a downright joy to me to feel the nip in the air that you've got down here.INTERVIEWER: Uh.Where did you say vou came from?TV PERSONALITY: | work in Toronto.but of course we like to spend at least one month of the winter in Moosonee.It's a good thing 1 tan easily.It's sheer torture for people with fair skins.INTERVIEWER: Moosonee\u201d Don't they have Eskimos and things like that up there?TV PERSONALITY: You're referring to the brown-skinned natives, 1 guess.You know.Ed.1 really get a charge out of their attitude toward life.Not a worry in the world.Just lying around on the beach all day long, playing their stringed instruments and cunningly weaving their grass huts.Sometimes.Ed.| think we could learn a bit from their sunny temperament INTERVIEWER: 1 had the distinct impression that Canada was a land of snow and ice .TV PERSONALITY: Well.frankly.Ed.ice is a problem with us, and | can\u2019t honestly say we've got it licked.So much of it is used in Planter\u2019s Punches that there's a very real shortage in certain parts of our country.There's a move on now to import it from one of your hig local Arctic cities, such as Boston.It could work into quite a nice local industry for you people .INTERVIEWER: But what's all this talk about skiing?TV PERSONALITY: We don\u2019t recomment it at high noon.Ed, but im the cool of the morning when the sun is just rising on the blue waters of Great Slave lake.there's nothing like a brisk run behind a fast boat.INTERVIEWER: I must confess I'm a little confused.l'd always thought of Canada as a cold kind of country.TV PERSONALITY: That's the trouble with you Americans, if you'll allow a friend to be frank, Ed.The amount of ignorance I've found about Canada down here is little short of amazing.You think of us as a land of ice and snow and you dismiss us out of hand.The results are sometimes laughable.Do you know, Ed, that I've actually seen tourists crossing the border in January and coming up to the Laurentians bringing fur coats, skis and ear muffs?I guess we can\u2019t blame them too much.A lot of our own people who haven't got access to the facts have come down here and shot off their mouths on television, thus contributing to the general misconception.INTERVIEWER: Well, thank you.Harvey Grebe.for setting us straight about your wonder- tul country .TV PERSONALITY: A pleasure.Ed.When 1 get back to the sunny north I'm going to send you a hand-picked garland of hibiscus and bougainvillea .2 Skating rink to be enclosed An architect will be appointed to draw up plans for enclosing the Westmount Skating Rink.The deci- siom came up under the heading of new business by council Monday might.The enclosing was asked so there would be some protection from the bitterly cold winds which are felt by winter skaters in the area now.According to Mayor Cushing, work should start on this project by next November so that it will be completed for next winter.Westmount sets safety by-law Westmount has joined several large cities of the world in instituting a public safety by-law.and a code of discipline for its police and fire departments.The institution came after a year's preparatory investigation which included study of the police and fire departments of such cities as London, Paris and New York.Something of a departure for a smaller administration.the by-law and code spell out in detail the procedures and duties of all the city's fire and police personnel.Consulting engineers engaged Professor Walter Schippel is to be engaged as consulting engineer for
