The conviction was quashed and Ontario Court of Appeal I juagmem upnoiaing was overruled.

HOODED GANG' arrest came as Ottawa city police were trying to track down a "hooded gang." Supreme Court--noted that after an informant named R. D. Bard talked to police Nov. 16, 1963, they looked for bouse where a break-in could be staged. Bard picked a house belonging to Benjamin Achbar, who gave police the key and allowed them to stake out the premises.

Lemieux, Bard and Jean Guindon turned up at the house the next night Lemieux staying in the car while Guindon, accompanied by Bard, opened a -aide door with a screwdriver. Police waiting inside arrested Bard at the door and Lemieux in the car and later caught up with Guindon, who ran away. Guindon and Lemieux were convicted and their appeals dismissed. Bard pleaded guilty bu was acquitted on appeal. Lemieux, in the appeal to the Supreme Court, said he knew he was driving Bard and Guin don to a house he had never seen and that they were going to break in.

"What he did not know, however, was that he, along with Guindon. was being led into a trap." The Supreme Court said it was clear that Lemieux and Guindon "were solicited by Bard, the informer, to undertake this break-in." OWNER CO-OPERATED The police had got the key from the owner, who was willing to co-operate. Lemieux had "no thought' of breaking and entering the Achbar house until approached by Bard, "who was acting under police instruction. "The police set the whole scheme, in motion through Bard." The police, with co-opara lion from the owner, "had not merely consented to Bard breaking in with the assistance of others, but bad urged him to do so.

Solandt took time to look into the future and produced the following observations. Automation will continue to increase, but will lead to greater affluance rather than mass unemployment Canada will still have a motor car based society by the year 2000, but ear will likely have disappeared from the -centre of large cities. -There will be more public rapid transportation, above or below the surface, but the fastest surface speed will not have surpassed 200 miles per hour. Helicopters will play a key role in inter-city travel and the supersonic jet will lead the way in transcontinental transportation. CANCER CURE? And scientists will be on the brink of controlling cancer by the year 2000.

Dr. Solandt claimed Canada's major defect in the past was lack of confidence in her ability. Scrapping of the Arrow project was listed as an example of that missing confidence. "I'm sure it cost us more to drop the Arrow than it would have cost to build it," Dr. Solandt said.

By SUSAN BECKER The Journal Ottawa Separate School teachers are on the brink of mass resignation.

The teachers met in a closed session after school Tuesday to discuss the possibility. No decision was made at the meeting, but reports are the teachers were told that unless 75 per cent of them are willing to resign over the salary ques tion, the negotiators will be forced to accept the board's latest offer. MAY 11 DEADLINE Letters regarding mass resignation will be sent the teachers immediately, sources said. The teachers' contracts terminate May 31, and unless a teacher resigns before that date he is considered rehired.

NOT ADEQUATE? One of the sites recommended for traffic lights Heron Road and Clementine Boulevard already has a crosswalk. It is not considered adequate by the school board. The traffic committee- advised limited funds prevented further action concerning board recommendations, to which the school board re--plied it realized the financial difficulties, but is not content and requested priority of funds for the unfulfilled requests next year. The only traffic light to be installed at the board's request is at Westmount Street and Parkdale Avenue. The school board will request that the city traffic committee keep the 'speed limit at 30 m.p.h.

on Smyth Road between Alta Vista Drive and Russell Road. There has been talk about increasing the speed limit to 40 or 45 m.p.h.'

The teachers in January asked the board for a 25 per cent increase in salaries over and above the annual increment. After a series of meetings, the negotiating team, which includes equal representation from the French- and English-speaking teachers' associations, recommended acceptance ol a board offer estimated by reliable sources to be about thirds the teachers' demand.

A new group of English-speak-1 ing negotiators, headed by Mrs. Norah Gamman of St. Leonards School, was to con tinue the talks, and the pro vincial federation invited to step in. Planned reconstruction of a portion of battle-scarred Beech-wood Avenue is mired in an Ottawa-Eastview dispute over cost-sharing. The project, has been in the works for more than a year now, but failure of Ottawa and Eastview to agree on respec tive costs for repaii boundary street has held up progress.

SENT TO OMB Board of control decided Tues day nothing was to be gained by further negotiation and vot ed to dump the disagreement into the lap of the Ontario Municipal Board for arbitra tion. The Original project was in two parts: A new. $126,000 storm sew er on Beechwood Avenue, from Putman to Joliette. A $36,006 paving program to provide a better surface on the stretch) of road disturbed by sewer work. oosal for the sewer calls, for Ottawa to pay Rockcliffe, and East-view, $23.000.

The" formula is based on amount of acreage in each municipality to be drained by the sewer. EQUAL SHARES The cost of re-paving was to be shared equally by the three partner municipalities. Eastview objects on two counts. This is the first time in a number of years salary negotiations have reached such a difficult stage, although the board's tight financial situation has meant its teachers have been paid less than their public school counterparts. BEECHWOOD PROJECT Cost Squabble Delaying Work It contends it should pay only one-sixth rather than one-third, of the paving job.

And it insists only 3.7, rather than 6.9 of its acres, would need to be served by the storm sewer. This figuring would, reduce Eastview's share of -the sewer job to less than $10,000.
