The Westmount examiner, 23 janvier 1969, jeudi 23 janvier 1969

[" Perrette held up 2nd fime The Perrette Dairy store at 4471 St.Catherine street west, near Metcalfe avenue.was held up Tuesday night for the second time in 12 days.Just over $200 was taken at gunpoint by two men.just after 10 pm.from a lone woman employee who also had been on duty Jan.9 when a trio of other bandits had relieved her of $325 as well as robbing two of six customers.On this occasion.no one else was in the shop and.in fact.only shortly before police had checked the premises to see if all was well.Westmount and Montreal police believe that there may be a new gang at work specializing in raiding late-night service stores of this type.and that Tuesday evening's incident is one of a series in the greater Montreal area.Fumes oust 200 persons Some 200 persons had to be evacuated from the six-storey office building at 4200 Dorchester boulevard west.at Greene avenue.Tuesday afternoon about 2 o'clock when a heavy concentration of ammonia supplying a photo-copy printing machine in the office of the Quebec Association of Nurses spread through the structure.Westmount firemen said the fumes were so dense as to appear like white smoke and they had to don respirators to complete the evacuation, which already was underway when they arrived.An employee in the building had managed also to turn off a valve leading to a broken pipe through which the choking gas had escaped.So far as officials knew.no one required medical attention.After airing.the various offices were re-occupied.Among other tenants are a firm of consulting engineers and an insurance company.Hockey night traffic sped by new rule You may not have noticed it.but if you are a NHL hockey fan who drives to the Forum games.the traffic department of the Westmount Police has instituted a new system for after-game dispersal of cars which they have pronounced a great success.Key to it is that no vehicles are permitted to disgorge onto St.Catherine street from the Alexis Nihon Plaza parking garage.Instead.thev must use the de Maisonneuve boulevard exit and proceed west.If their destination is east or downtown.thev then must turn north or south to Sherbrooke or St.Catherine streets via Wood.Elm.Greene or some other cross street to the west of Atwater.It is a simple solution and working verv well.Congestion has been minimized.police officers report.V a à Roy Leggo Campbell Ex-Mayor Campbell Dies, 78 Ex-Mayor Roy Leggo Campbell.BA.BScF.FCIS.prominent in business and civic affairs.died last week at the age of 78.He was an alderman of the City of Westmount from 1949 to 1953 and was mayor in 1953 and 1954.He lived at 52 Forden cres- sent.A memorial service will be held in the Church of the Messiah.Sherbrooke and Simpson streets.on Saturday.at 3 p.m.À native of Toronto.he graduated in arts and forestry from the University of Toronto in 1914.Mr.Campbell devoted his business life to the pulp and paper industry.serving it in many capacities over 45 years.Upon graduation.he became editor of the Pulp and Paper Magazine of Canada.and was secretary of (Continued en Page 11) Overnight parking brings car breakin A private automobile.parked overnight Friday-Saturday on Columbia avenue.was reported broken into.Nothing of great value was stolen.a \u20181-1sT Fires originate in extraordinary places.are hard to detect and even harder to locate.and sometimes luckily occur at a time which otherwise would greatly endanger lives.A classic of this sort occurred last week in the apartment house at 46 Academy road.(See last week's Where They Were Going.for Jan.14.)

fireman.feeling the wire at the top of the door.several feet above the nail.had his fingers burned.Assistant Deputy Chief Paul Motard feared that the heat buildup.had it occurred at night.might have become so widespread in the wall as to suddenly ignite covered woodwork and caused a disastrous fire.but all of Westmount your home 15, P.Q., Thursday, January 23, 1969 10\u20ac Athione Fellow:

January 25 to 31 Stormy this weekend with 4 to 6 inches of snow and some freezing rain.Clearing generally as Moon First Quarter storms move seawards and city dwellers dig their way out.Biting cold will be back again for the Full Moon, also strong winds with 40 m.p.h.gusts.Most places can count upon 7 inches of new snow this week.Northern blizzards continue through midweek, with some local thunder.Snow and sleet in southern counties.Even northern Florida has a snowstorm at this time many years.A week of gray skies, but clearing for a pleasant weekend.Temperatures: south, - 10 and 35 to 40°F.Lau- rentians, - 15 and 35°.But these are occupied.more often than not.by a seamy array of characters.mostly vouths of both sexes.who have made the plaza their hangout from the weather.boredom and.perhaps.lack of decent homes.They have also made it the base for a wide variety of crime.including shoplifting.car-breaking.assault and.it is suspected.dope- peddling.As private property.control over occupants lies with the owners but.when crime is committed.Westmount Police become involved.Local detectives.having checked identities of habituées and obtained warrants.this week staged an inconspicuous swoop and took into custody four youths.one 20.one 19 and two 17 years of age.on charges of loitering.The first two will appear in Westmount Municipal Court and the two juveniles in Social Welfare Court.While they were staging their roundup on Tuesday \u2014 as if to demonstrate the brash coolness of the youngsters in this jungle \u2014 two local detectives were walking right behind a 10-year-old boy who.as the officers watched.plucked a gramaphone record from the display of a shop and thrust it under his coat.The resulting arrest was not only unscheduled but one of the swiftest for elapsed time between commission of a crime and apprehension for same.\u201cat City Council swearing Monday erved for the first mee § a ne j}v Council on t \u2018asion nes mayar taki guests are &tpecunt.to.he Hall for the session.which will last about an hour trom 8:30 pm.and a reception following to honor Ex-Ald.Peter M.MeEntvre upon his swearing- in as mavor of Westmount.as well as the installation of Charles Aspler and Douglas Robertson as first-time aldermen.Honor likewise is to be paid to out-going Mavor Michael L.Tucker and Ald.Irving S.Back- ler.both of whom end nine vears of service as Westmount solons.The agenda 1s expected to include the formal resignation of Mr.Aspler as a member of the city\u2019s architectural commission.the report of Returning Officer R.B.Seaman announcing the acclamations Jan.13.the swearing- in of the mavor.two new aldermen.re-elected Ald.Jean H.Richer.and re-elected Library Trustee Raymond Caron.QC.Both mavors are expected to speak.following which Mayor McEntyre will announce the organization of committees of the new council.in particular the commissioner \u201cportfolios\u201d to be held bv each alderman.This is one of the kevs to a good administration.involving the assignment of talent to the areas best suited.For example.Accountant Ian Craig might be expected to succeed Accountant McEntvre to the job of commissioner of finance.Until Monday night's ceremony.Westmount technically is lacking three aldermen.leaving a bare quorum of three plus the outgoing mayor who.unlike the aldermen.does not leave office until officially succeeded.Light change nips prangs Traffic accident statistics kept by Westmount Police are not just figures.They are acted upon.Early last vear it was found that in the last six months of 1967 there had been 10 accidents.seven involving injuries to 18 persons.in the eastbound Sherbrooke street lane at Clarke avenue.Decision was taken to change the lens of the red traffic signal from the conventional one.about 8 inches in diameter.to a 12- inch highway type light.In the last six months of 1968 there was only one accident.with no injuries.Husband vs.wife: assault, knifing A husband-and-wife quarrel in their St.Antoine street home Friday evening ended up with the husband being patched up at the Reddy Memorial Hospital for superficial knife wounds.The knife-wielding wife told Westmount Police she was assaulted by her husband. _ 2- The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, January 23, 1969 Street names tributes to culture Those who are interested in Montreal (everyone should show some for their own residential territory) will find the new Montreal Postal Zone Book quite fascinating.I had tried a number of times at the post office, where they are available, but each time no luck, they were out of them.Finally, not giving up, I got one last week and went through the directory.One is fascinated at the names of the multitude of streets, avenues and boulevards.The reason for today\u2019s column is the number of musicians, writers and artists who will be remernbered through this lasting tribute.Besides the arts, there are streets named after inventors, generals, royalty, industrial leaders, admirals, sports stars, scientists, cardinals, statesmen, presidents, saints, trees, other cities and many others.There are more writers than musicians and artists.Among these are such luminaries as Balzac.Disraeli.Byron.Du- -mas (father or son?).Dante.Robert Burns.Charles Dickens and Dickens.Jules Verne.Emerson.Daudet (which brother Alphonse or Eduard?).and Victor Hugo.They are listed exactly as you read them, the two Dickens streets are in different locals.Three artists Only three artists, Dyonnet, who headed the Ecole des Beaux Arts, sculptor Alfred Laliberte and Suzor Coté are honored.Now the musicians.New ones have been added and it is wonderful to receive such recognition when one is alive.There is Ver- FRANCES GOLTMAN

Before men could fly the first airplane, they had to do more than want to fly.They had to learn the laws of flight to set them free from the earth.Similarly, when men pray and seem to receive no answer - can it be that they have something first to learn about prayer.and about the benevolent laws of God ?Hear Harold Rogers, C.S., of The Christian Science Board of Lectureship, speak on

Weir.J.J.Gagnier (the outstanding bandmaster and orchestra leader) and Ernest Lavigne.I am surprised that Emery La- vigne is not honored, too, since he was the first president of L'Académie de Québec, which is the great association that awards the Prix d'Europe.Ernest had a wonderful band and they gave concerts in Sohmer Park which attracted tremendous crowds.How do I know about all this?My late mother studied piano with Emery Lavigne.Ernest and Emery were brothers, both wonderful musicians who were in the limelight in their day.Emery died quite young and Dr.Pelletier told me some time ago he was a good friend of his.(Of course, he would have been much older than Dr.Pelletier.People often wonder how some folks know the background of musicians and musical events that are highlights of the past.If it is passed through parents, it becomes first-hand knowledge.Many of the newcomers to Montreal think we did not have music.That is, not much music.We certainly did.True, the population was not as big but we always had concerts and, believe me.the greatest.BY Mank Weiner # y J \u201c3 wg CANAAN ANN VS The gullible collector is in for another ride, only this time not from the wind-swept sand dune sheikdoms of the Persian gulf but from fly-speck islands of the West Indies.In 1967 Anguilla declared her independence from St.Christopher, Nevis and Anguilla and took off on a stamp-issuing binge.During September and November of that year 31 stamps were issued for a total face value of $10 US.Lo and behold, another stamp issuing entity looms on the horizon.It is reported that Antigua has signed an agreement with a group of property developers for ARTE TETE TE AS AAAMAADANLLL ALL ALLLSS J Eh W IXPOUS MIX?Dy 4 the issuing of stamps for Barbuda, a dependency of Antigua with a population of about 1,000.This group is registered in Switzerland as Carib Filatelag; there is to be a definitive series and at least four issues of commemo- ratives yearly.Collectors will recall that for a short time in 1922 Barbuda had its own stamps in the form of Leeward Islands overprints.Since then they have managed with Antiguan stamps until their tremendous population explosion and having been smitten with the greed bug.Remember, these programs can flourish only with the support of you, the collector.It is your buck keeping these promoters in business.Stop, look and think before you buy! Compare e fore-mentioned programs with that from Switzerland, one of the many countries maintaining a sense of responsibility and integrity in the issuing of new stamps.During 1969 this country will issue five new defin- itives, \u201cEuropa\u201d two, eight special stamps and four each for the Pro Patria and Pro Juventute series, making a total of 23 stamps with a face value of $2 Israel again Part IV of the Israeli fifth definitive airmail series was issued on Dec.23 and is devoted to outstanding export products of the country.This issue pays tribute to the electronics industry with a stamp, 0,80 IL value, showing a modern piece of electrical equipment, and the whirling world of fashion depicted by stylized designs of women\u2019s fashions is the subject for the 1,50 IL stamp in recognition of the importance this export plays in Israel's economy.The stamps were designed by O.Adler and printed by multicolor photo-gravure in sheets of 15 stamps, five with tabs.In 1768 the French author Bernardin de St.Pierre visited Mauritius (Ile de France, as it was then called) and the result of .his stay was two books \u2018Voyage a l\u2019Ie de France\u201d and \u2018\u2018Paul et Virginie.\u2019 It is from this latter book, one of the most celebrated love stories in European literature, that the six postage stamps were adapted to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Bernardin de St.Pierre\u2019s visit to Mauritius.The stamps were issued on Dec.2 and printed by multicolor lithography by Format International Ltd.in the denominations of: 2, 15, 50, 60 cents, Rp.1 and Rps.2.50.The designs are based on six old prints from the book and have been very well executed and will make a worth- wvesvewy while addition to any collection of \u201cart\u201d on stamps.A unit of the Royal Engineers has completed the work of increasing the size of Beef Island Airport thus making it possible for larger aircraft to use it.To commemorate this event the British Virgin Islands issued a set of four stamps on Dec.16, 20, 10, 25¢ and $1 printed in multi- color by Format using their format process.The highest value features the cap badge of the Royal Engineers in recognition of their work while the 2, 10 and 25 cent stamps feature a DHC4 Twin Otter in LIAT livery, Hawker Siddeley 748 in the same colors and a Hawker Siddeley Heron in Prinair colors, respectively.SINCE 1916 OUR MASTER ROOFERS AT YOUR SERVICE - RESIDENTIAL - - COMMERCIAL - \u2014- INDUSTRIAL - WESTMOUNT ROOFING LTD.637-2308 24 HOUR SERVICE 866-4551 VETERANS TAXI ASS\u2018N.The following building permits were issued at Westmount City Hall during the past week: Jan.14 634 Sydenham: for Mrs.Ro- nalds by Hartley Barber Ltd., removal of gas meter, $20.2200-2220 Claremont: (Montreal) for Parkex Development by Louis Beck, drain connection for new apartment house: (street is in Westmount); Jan.15 4556 St.Catherine: for Lipfield and Miller by Star Plumbing, installation of additional gas meter, $300; Jan.16 4839 Westmount avenue: for Nathon Diamond by Central Plumbing.changing three fixtures.$300: Jan.17 437-9 Elm: for S.W.Poland by Danish Construction Ltd.alterations and plumbing, $11,000.Olivier fire spectacular; smoke dense A spectacular fire, for the density of smoke and the problem posed Westmount firemen, caused excitement with little danger to occupants of the Olivier House apartments, 225 Olivier avenue, at mid-afternoon Saturday.Only real damage was caused to a 1964 Chevrolet hardtop, extensively burned while parked in the basement garage.When the Westmount Brigade arrived, fireman had great difficulty in locating the burning car due to the heavy.black smoke.and which would not clear the open doors because of cold air outside.On the other hand, there was insufficient heat from the fire to start the overhead sprinklers.Ordinarily hand extinguishers are sufficient to extinguish car fires.In this instance.a hose had to be run into the garage.The car later was towed away: meanwhile, the smoke was remove by extractor.Gavin Ross One Westmount Square Westmount 216, Que.Smith Chapman ROSS, FULLER & COMPANY LTD.Insurance Brokers & Consultants.John R.Fuller 931-3887 SPECIAL!
