[" Renewal residents rebuffed The only \u2018action at Monday evening's quarter-hour formal Westmount City Council meeting came after itadjourned.It came in a brief exchange between Mayor Michael Tucker and Architect Joseph Baker.1087 Greene avenue, tousle-haired chairman of an urban renewal ligison committee of residents of the southeast corner of the city.Mr.Baker had received a letter from His Worship, in reply to one he had written last month on the continuing participation of the committee in the renewal program.Mr.Baker wished to respond.The mayor.obviously nettled by the presence at yet another Council meeting of Mr.Baker and some dozen supporters.suggested that if the delegation had anything further to say it should- be done in the form of a letter.which Council would in due course consider.That ended it, so far as the solons were concerned.They retired to their committee room, adjoining the formal Council chamber.Ald Jean Richer stayed behind for a few minutes to consult with Mr.Baker.Whereupon, Mr.Baker and several of his colleagues held an informal press conference.the burden of which was that they would be replying to the mayor.as suggested: that they feel that they no longer are officially recognized but that they should be consulted in future decisions affecting the renewal area.and that they will be submitting a brief to Hon.Paul Hellyer's task force on housing.due in Montreal Oct.22 and 23.MAYOR'S REPLY Mayor Tucker Tuesday released the text of a letter he had sent last Friday to Mr.Baker, in reply to Mr.Baker's of Sept.23 in which the complaint was made that the citizens\u2019 liaison committee of the southeast renewal area was being ignored by Council.(See EXAMINER, page 1, Sept.26).Mr.Tucker feit that Mr.Ba- .ker\u2019s committee had completed its work at the workshup stage, in Februrary 1967, on the urban renewal.scheme; promised that interested groups would be consulted before the final study is present- .ed to the Quebec Housing Corporation; affirmed that the liaison committee recommended in the Sunderiand report, comprised of representatives of the municipal and tenants\u2019 associations, \u2018street groups\u201d and the city administration would be formed once the scheme has been approved and before implementation.The mayor asserted that every effort had been made to keep all interested citizens informed and that no inquiries from any source have been ignored.(Full text of the mayor's letter to Mr.Baker appears on page 11.)

by a young married couple from France in late September in the Montreal district.Not only was the pair caught, sentenced and faced deportation but all but one item in some $2,000 worth.of goods taken from merchants was recovered.Additional sentences, wrapping up the case, are expected to be handed down by Judge A.Stalker, QC, this evening in Westmount Municipal Court.Forged license The saga began Sept.21 with the first complaint from a Westmount Square merchant that he found himself with a worthless cheque.It had been accepted on a purchase but the identification, provided by a falsified Quebec driver's license, proved to have been on the forged name of a French-language broadcasting personality residing in Cote des Neiges.Soon Westmount Police had four complaints from Westmount Square, involving five worthless cheques, and a fifth complaint involved a sixth similar cheque from Alexis Nihon Plaza.From descriptions provided, suspicion fell upon an Outremont couple after investigation began in earnest Sept.25.Westmount detectives led by Sgt.-Det.J.B.Whiteford put their suspects under surveillance.The object at this stage was not only to effect arrest and conviction but to recover the goods taken under false pretences.Six days on trail Six days of day-and-night trailing and watching established that the couple lived in an apartment at 1485 Bernard avenue west.On Oct.1, as Westmount Police were preparing to close in, liaison with Montreal Police revealed that the big-city force had some 20 similar complaints on its hands, and there was another in Pointe Claire.A Montreal officer was invited to join the Westmount investigating team.At 9:30 o'clock that evening they closed in on the pair on the sidewalk as they neared their apartment house.The two were taken inside and a search of the flat yielded the wide array of goods, including jewelry.clothing and house hold items described by the store complainants \u2014 everything, in fact, but a $200 hi-fi set purloined from Westmount Square.Arrested were Bernard Lou- bat, 26, a journalist, who came here from France about three and a half years ago.and his wife, Katherine, 20, who is believed to have come to Canada sometime before her husband.They were married here and have a two-and-a-half-year-old child.(Continued on Page 12) NEXT WEEK'S WEATHER by ERIC NEAL Montreal region 1968 October 12 to 19

488-0647 OFFICIAL OPENING of the ON OCTOBER THE 27th 1968 at the Laurentien Hotel \u2014 Salon Six MONTREAL SALES \u2014 EXCHANGES \u2014 PURCHASES 15 MERCHANTS TO SERVE YOU SEVERAL ATTENDANCE PRIZES DRAWN ABOUT EVERY HOUR FREE ADMISSION & STAMPS SHOW\u201d Protection Service Y Security Guards These words of wisdom are from Khalil Samawi, director of foreign relations, Ministry of Communications, Amman, Jordan, while commenting on his government's policy of marketing their postage stamps.Up to 1962 Jordanian postage stamps were well received in the philatelic world, and at that time the PTT authorities were tempted by an interesting offer made by the Middle East Stamps Company to market a pre-arranged program of 42 issues.A contract was signed in 1962 for three years, but after a few issues it was subject\u2019 to new negotiations resulting in an amendment to the original contract._ Another contract was concluded in 1965 and sub-contracts were introduced from time to time.On Feb.10, 1967, the last of the stamps included in the contract was released and the contract was thus terminated.From then on a new two-year program of 31 issues was introduced.Neither good nor bad Here are a few of Mr.Samawi\u2019s views on the matter: (1) The new stamp program mentioned above is neither good nor bad in itself.(2) The true value of a government\u2019s postage stamps is determined by the integrity of the issuing government.(3) The Convention of the Universal Postal Union contains a few rules regarding postage stamps, one of which is: stage stamps for denoting payment of postage are issued by postal administrations only.Two practical recommendations put forward by Mr.Samawi are: (1) Stamps should be freely distributed to all post offices and postal agencies in the country.Sheath Skirts.News, is the skirt waist cardigan suit all tastes.sleeve pullons.New Fine Botany Wool Full-fashioned Dressmaker Sweaters With Matching Pleated or .Dressmaker pullovers with necklines to .Classic short ($1 3.) or long ($1 4.) inseparable separates By Lucia of Italy Skirts - $25.& $35.Pay pd CS - Fi (2) No dealers or philatelists should be officially recognized by the ministry.In the light of these statements collectors would be well advised to take a second look before buying many of the stamps being offered by various agencies for many of the stamp issuing entities in which no postal services exist.Bulletins from Birdland: Netherland Antilles: A child\u2019s love of animal pets has been selected as the theme of four multi-color semi-postals to be released Nov.13.The stamps, printed by Joh.Enschede, Holland, will reproduce natural color photographs made by Frederick Fischer.Values are: 6+3c \u2014 boy and his goat; 10+5c \u2014 girl and poodle; 20+-10c \u2014 boy and cat; 25 +11c \u2014 girl and a duckling.Each is inscribed, \u2018\u2018Voor Het Kind\u201d to indicate that the surtax will be used for Child Welfare programs in the six islands of the Antilles.New Hebrides: On Oct.9 two stamps, 25 and 60 gold centimes, were issued honoring the Anglo- French Concorde project.The stamps were printed by Delacryl process by Thos De La Rue & Co.Ltd., the English series on paper with the C.A.Block watermark and the French series on paper without watermark.SLIGHT DIFFERENCES By Winifred E.Wilson Some Warblers are still with us, but because they are almost silent, we need to be on the alert to notice them.Being about leaf size, and in autumn many wearing leaf-color costumes, it is extremely difficult to differentiate between them as, at Warbler pace.they give us no chance to see details.Even the experts admit being stumped.For instance.in a flash we see an olive-colored bird with what appears to be white eye-rings and yellow underparts.Which Warbler might it be?Neither Canada nor Wilson Warbler (no relation!) fits the description because their eye-rings are really pale yellow.The Mourning lacks the complete white eye-ring, and wears a bluish-grey hood, though the hood of the immature is quite indistinct.This youngster is remarkably like the immature Connecticut, whose parents also have slate-grey hoods, but the adult female's is not noticeable.Connecticut Warblers may also be identified by their unusual action of walking instead of hopping.Anyway, as the hoods cover the throat area, there can be no yellow there.So these birds are not in the running.Now, let us investigate a Nashville which has no hood and a very yellow throat \u2014 in fact, completely yellow underparts.Can this be our choice?No, because the white eye-ring has a narrow white line running from it to the bill, giving the impression that the bird is wearing white rimmed spectacles.Greenish Olive But there is yet another olive- colored Warbler which might fit our original description: the well known and wide spread Yellow- throat.Of course the male is an impossible choice, because he wears a black mask.But the female and all her children at this time of year are greenish olive.have white eye-rings.and are warm yellow on their throats and yellow under their tails, the intervening space being a sort of buffy white which, in the quick glance we are able to give.might pass for yellow.The actions of Yellowthroats are distinctive.The family keeps together quite late in the season.and you may hear them without seeing them as they make little \u201cchucking\u201d noises which remind us of Wrens, while they move about.very little above the ground.in and out of bushes and weeds, picking up small insects and moths.They may not leave Canada until the end of October.So here is our problem.None of these suggestions entirely fits the general impression we got when the spry little olive Warbler flitted in and out of our view.Which shall we choose?Headquarters tor Tape Recorders Record Players tereos © TV TIPE LITT SALES & SERVICE PY Wit LR IL 140) Peel Street \u2014 288-416) {Corner of St.Cotherne) Bd CITY OF WESTMOUNT su it sizes 8 to 18 Cul -
