Chief Constable Head Police Force Reports With Deviates TORONTO (CP) Thomson, director Reformatory, says FRIDAY, JtXE 1. 1957 NEW HISTORY OF As the history is aimed at the general reader and the undergraduate student, the treatment will be general In character, to give a balanced presentation of economic, political and cultural factors. This will be the first comprehensive history of Canada that will be uniform in character, produced by French and English scholars and available to the public in both French and English. It has been a generation since the last multi-volume histories of Canada were published Canada and Its Provinces and The Chronicles of Canada, and since then, a vast amount of new research has been, done, with new interpretations of past events coming to light.

The march of recent events and the extent of the Canadian boom will be included in this new works, to be known as "The Canadian University I A History of Canada." Morrishurg Of John Rankin, 47-ysar-old Morrishurg police chief, last night was appointed to head the new Gloucester -Nepean police force. The new force takes over July 1 from the Ontario Provincial Police in the two townships. It was unanimously decided that it would be best to police the whole of. both townships, in order to avoid confusion which would be caused by residents not knowing the names or locations of certain roads that would be used as boundaries between the area policed by OPP and that under township jurisdiction. Total area to be served will be about 110,000 miles.

The appointment was made at a joint meeting of the two township councils in the Nepean Township Hall, at which each council gave final readings to bylaws authorizing establishment of the force. The new chief will have a yearly salary of $4,800 substantially more than the $4,150 he was origanally offered by a Bob Blarkbura Anyone who tuned in late on Climax last night was in for. a lather traumatic experience. It looked as though half-a-dozen different programs had become tangled together. Here was Wild Bill Hickok in a disreputable jail with a drunken Latin pirate, while elsewhere clown was grinning happily as he beat up an under-dressed and overdecorated blonde while a character of Mephistophelean appearance and thugglsh demeanor looked on.

However, things quickly cleared up to reveal a pretty standard Climax melodrama about dope-smuggling ring. The bizarre is a dangerous element to play around with. Climax tried to achieve it by using carnival costumes and atmosphere as a background for dirty handled, preferably in a film or I stage play, this is a trick which can effectively heiehten the hor-tor of a situation, but as Climax used it, it was more likely to provoke laughter than anything else. This Joan Fairfax girl gets better all the time. For a good part of the current season, she wasn't very much In evidence, as the powers that be in the Denny Vaughn show kept hiding her in dark corners as though were an idiot cousin.

With all 35 polls reported, the count was; Nielsen 2.320, Sim- mens 2.271. 4 This boosted to eight the Con-J servative margin over the lib's erals, who won 103 seats.

Simmons. 59, was seeking a third term after winning the Yukon seat in the 1949 and 1953 I general elections. 1 Mr. Nielsen's victory was based on the civilian vols. The armed forces vote due this weekend could have a bearing on this contest and several others in Canada.

Rescue Man From River PEMBROKE (Staff) A Pembroke man had a narrow escape from drowning this morning when he suffered an epileptic seizure and tumbled into the Muskrat River at Coronation Park. Frank Shields was pulled troni the river minutes later by Patrick Rissler, of Halifax, who also was at Coronation Park. The injured man suffered a cut on his head, and was attended by Pembroke firemen and policemen and by Dr. A. C.

Coombes who was called. The man was later moved to hospital. Police said Shields apparently was fishing off a concrete retaining wail when he suffered the attack. Miss Wilson Scores 83 Miss Cairine Wilson, of the home club, and Mrs. W.

Leading feminine shot-makers in Ottawa and district were entered. years on the Glasgow police force before moving to Canada. Chief Rankin's first police post in Canada was as chief of the Kingston Township police force, which he held until the area was annexed by Kingston city in 1951. Rankin then accepted the poil-tion as chief constable at Madoc, a village of 1,200, about 50 miles east of Peterborough. He remained in Madoc until he was appointed chief constable at Morrisburg where he has been since last fall.

Chief Rankin Is married and has two children, a daughter 15 and a son 10. The new joint-township police chief said he was most reluctant 1 to leave Morrisburg where; Reeve George Beavers and all members of town council were most co-operative with him. He said there was nothing they would not do for him, which was most Important at a time when the riverside community is In the process of being moved about in the path of the seaway-power development. Starts July 1 Nepean Township Clerk McLean said the new force would 1 be in action July 1, the date set by the OPP when the provincial force ceases to police the town- ships. The OPP, will of course, continue to patrol highways and I roads running through both townships.

"We may not be operating on a 100 percent basis by July first." Mr. McLean said, "but we wiil soon be at full strength." He said plans are under way to provide a joint police station in the vicinity of Hog's Back, a centra location from which officers in prowl cars would be able to reach all parts of both areas quickly. They will operate temporarily from Gloucester Township HalL Cost of operating both forces will be shared on a per capita basis, Mr. McLean said, and this provides for fluctuation in the population of er.ch entity. i v- 7 i Chief Kankia Austin F.

Cres I'uuw Stiff Wrr Like children following the Pied Piper out of Hamelin, so did the press desert the cabinet meeting this morning for the new prospective Prime Minister, John Diefen-taker. Dozens of Press Gallery men, photographers, and others stood patiently outside the East Block, or sat at the very stained giass portals of the Privy Council itself. Then came word that Joha Diefenbaker had awakened from his nap, and was on his way up to the Hill Some of us took a stance about half way from the East Block door and the Main Door. Suddenly, John Diefenbaker was to be seen, slowly making his way up the hill, past where the reporters were flagging down the cabinet ministers. With the Conservative leader were Col.

Timins! it with split-second precision, George Tustin, former Tory whip, and five times winner in Prince Edward-Lennox, until he retired, arrived by car. He parked quickly, and rushed round to greet bis new chief and old friend. Tustin and Diefenbaker were two of four kids who all went to school together at Plains Road in York County and woo were all in parliament together. The third man is Robert McGregor, perennial MP from York East.

The fourth is the late Joe Harris, MP. Since they are the offices of the Opposition Leader, Mr. Diefenbaker beat a hasty retreat and walked to the adjoining Whip's office. Into this small room jammed dozens of re porters and photographers. Later, more reporters from the Press Gallery rushed in breathlessly.

The Progressive Conservative leader kept It light. He was ever so willing to discuss fishing in Saskatchewan, to tell jokes, to kid the reporters as "false prophets," but he would not discuss his political future. "I am meeting the prime minister at three o'clock," he kept on saying. Mr. Diefenbaker had a lot of fun with the prophets who predicted a Liberal victory.

He turned to one French Canadian who had laughed at him when he predicted a Conservative victory. In broken English, this reporter replied: "Since free days I don't laugh any more!" Then John Diefenbaker really laughed. When The Citizen's Parliament Hill correspondent, Alex Hume came In, Mr. Diefenbaker pointed an accusing finger and said: "Hello prophet."

"I'll be back with the family to stay on June 26," said St. John before starting the motor drive back to Chicago this morning, with a Chicago friend, Tom McAuliffe, "and, with the family looked after, I'll be able to concentrate on football."

"I feel real good," Don reported, "and hope to" come up with an outstanding season in the Big Four." He made favorable impression on Ottawa and Big Four fans In his first campaign, collecting nine touchdowns and carrying the ball with authority. Naturally, St. John had a chat with Jim McCaffrey, club manager, and Hal Ledyard. Rider quarterback of last year who is employed In Ottawa. He met Coach Frank Clair In the off-season and also had a visit from Frank Sweeney, Rider line star of a year ago who Is In the U.S.

Township clerk Andrew McLean said it would then be necessary to appoint an acting chief constable for the Interim from July 1. Nepean's Reeve Aubrey Moodie, chairman of the police committee, said the new force would likely comprise four constables in addition to the chief. It will also have two radio equipped cars, which, it Is hoped, will have a radio hook up with Ottawa's police force.

"It also reads that a. proper accounting of the trust fund must be kept."
