Holdup Alleged OWEN SOUND (CP) Owen Sound undertaker George Coutts has been charged with armed robbery of the Clarksburgh branch of the Toronto-Dominion Bank. It was the second charge of armed robbery laid against Coutts in a week as he had previously been arrested and charged with a holdup of the Walkerton branch of the Bank of Montreal. A lone bandit held up the Clarkesburgh bank on Feb. 15, 1961, and locked the staff in the vault before escaping with $4,200. 15 Homeless LAFONTAINE (CP) Thirteen children and their parents were homeless after a fire destroyed their home in this hamlet 10 miles northwest of Midland, on Monday.

Congolese (Continued from Page One) mission to The Congo interior to rescue European priests, said there may be more priests endangered by mutinous soldiers at Kindu, in Kivu province. Kindu is where rebellious Congolese troops murdered 13 Italians flying for the United Nations last November. Maj.

Lawson issued the warning while telling how he went into Kongolo in Northern Katanga to rescue a priest and three nuns from rampaging Katangese troops. He spoke at a news conference Monday. Maj. Lawson said all European priests now had been taken out of the Kongolo area but that there are others still in Kindu. He said the Kindu clergymen "feel they may be next on the list." It was understood that the United Nations was moving to get them out safely, however.

Last week, the major, who hits Congo troublespots armed only with a swagger stick and courage, brought back the only priest to survive the massacre of 22 nuns and priests at Kongolo. That time he cowed natives holding the priest by punching one of them who tried to stab him in the back with an arrow. On Monday Maj. Lawson described how he and a fellow officer, Nigerian Maj. Conrad Mwamo, invaded a chaotic region of Northern Katanga where troops loyal to the central Congolese government are fighting Katangese soldiers.

He said they and a Swahili-speaking interpreter flew to Kongolo and then cut their way through 18 miles of bush in the "no-man's land" area until Kat angese soldiers stopped them.

Sandwich South submtis that one of the main reasons, if not the main reason, for the present application for annexation is that the City is faced with extensive and costly expenditures in the immediate fu ture and desires to acquire more territory and assessment to help bear the tax load 5. Sandwich South requests the production of particulars and estimates of all capital expenditures now in construction or planning stage, or in contemplation, for sewers, sewage treatment plant, street lighting, street repairs and widenings, new traffic arteries, new buildings or renovations of existing buildings, reclamation of old and deteriorated areas, low cost housing and other expedi-tures for public services, including information as to the deficits, if any, of the Sandwich, Windsor Amherstburg Railway. 6.

He told the Prince Edward Chamber of Commerce the bridge would span the bay from Green Point to Deseronto.

Later he said cost of the project, including new roads to service the bridge, would be between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000. It would be similar in design to the $18,000,000 Burlington Skyway. $1,000,000 Left TORONTO (CP) John Alexander Macintosh, Ontario's oldest lawyer when he died Dec. 13 at 98, left $1,067,440 in mortgages, stocks and cash in a will published Monday.

Salinger declined to comment on this. "We had an informative discussion of a number of mutual topics in the field of communications and we came to no decisions," he said upon landing in New York Monday night. Other talks between the United States and Russia are scheduled to tinder way in Washington Wednesday the beginning of weeks of negotia tions on a new cultural ex change program. Officials indi cated the prospect for new and broader arrangements seem good. Adzhubei said Monday night he was pleased to talk with Mr.

Kennedy because it is important to have "all possible contacts between our two countries." He added, however, that this is not the time for "big steps" in the improvement of relations such as a U.S.- Soviet peace treaty but that it is a time for work on many "small steps." From Moscow, Khrushchev said in a cable Monday to Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt that all the conditions exist for improving Soviet-American relations "and that the need to do so has become even more pressing to remove the danger of a new war." The Soviet news agency, Tass said he gave this view in a cable on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the late president's birth. OKIES. MONTIEAL QUtMC II HOUR RELIEF with one ORMcai pf rrraJUI (Continued from Page One) the sugar beet industry was not costing them money, said he thought great strides had been made with the government and although the sugar policy was small, it was "at least a step in the right direction.

Reporting for the Alberta growers, Burns Wood, of Mag-rather, said growers were generally disappointed with the year's returns. "Income from gram and canning crops was low and coupled with low initial payments on beets, they were left in a posi tion where the available cash would not pay expenses," he said. Beets were planted on acres and 2,204 of these were lost through dryness and wind. At that, Alberta produced 525,425 tons of beets with a 15.52 percent sugar content and an average of 237 pounds of sugar per ton. He urged more research into what actually produces sugar in the beet.

The prairies had the driest year in 75 years and only the use of irrigation, he said, enabled them to raise a sugar beet crop of any kind. "Many crops of grain and hay were neglected in favor of the more valuable crops of sugar beets and canning crops." Manitoba report was not much better. W. S. Forrester, first vice-chairman of the national association, said hot, dry weather killed off tender plants that had not had much chance to send down roots.

The first rain came on July 12, last year, and while some crop insurance helped save the day, out of 28,719 acres planted only 21,000 acres were harvested with a yield of only 8.89 tons per acre (compared with Ontario's 17). The sugar content was low, 15.3 percent, and Manitoba produced 43,176 bags of sugar for an average of 2,191 pounds per acre. W. B. Grunewald.

of Cool-ton, a national director, charged that Canada was "the tail-end country of any in sugar production in that until late last year, it had no sugar policy. "While the present set-up is inadequate, it is at least a foot in the door, and while it may not be all we asked for, it is at least something to build on." He agreed with other speak ers through the day that at least the government had tried to come up with a plan that helped to a degree. Other speakers included past chairman David Froebe, of Winnipeg, a 20-year association veteran; John Wilson and Ed Mail-loux, McGregor. Art Aars-sen, Wallaceburg; Henry Hilde-brand, Gretna, and Leo Dusessoy, Fort Whyte, Man. Cm Tieup Hits 175.000 Riders I A Fla.

Dept. 6351, Chicago 14, 111. A Postcard will do. the City, except as may be here inafter specifically admitted. 3.

The granting of the City's proposed annexation would seriously weaken the structure of the County's system of government and increase substantially the tax rate in that part of the County which remains under its jurisdiction, in order to maintain the present level of services. 4. The County submits that the tax structure and existing organization of the County and of its constituent municipalities ought not to be sacrificed and weakened merely for the purpose of poviding additional land for either residential or industrial purposes for the City. 5. It is alleged by the City that the proposed annexation will initiate a period of rapid industrial and commercial expansion and assist in attracting new industry to the enlarged City.

An examination of the tax structure which would result from the City's application indicates substantially higher tax rates on higher land assessment in the proposed annexed areas. Such increase would drastically reduce the opportunity of attracting new industry and commerce rather than the result envisaged by the City. 6. The County is in sound financial condition resulting from many years of careful, wise and prudent management; it has never been in default of any financial obligation; it has the ability to assist its constituent municipalities in financing some of their projects. 7.

The City alleges that it is better able to supply new services needed for new development. The fact is that, notwithstanding the City's advantageous ratio of industrial and commercial assessment to its residential assessment, the City has deferred many capital projects because of its inability to finance the heavy cost of such propects, and -would not have the ability to finance capital expenditures which would arise out of the proposed annexation. 8. The City alleges that the proposed annexation would permit it to devise a rational pattern of land use for a greater 8rea; the City has not been able to resolve its planning problem for land use within its present corporate limits. 9.

The granting of the City's application would result in a loss of grants from the Province of Ontario to the County and its constituent municipalities. The loss of such grants must result in increased tax levies on the Jands in the city, in the irea proposed to be annexed and in the County. 10. The County submits that the results of an order allowing the City's application would be, in part, as follows: (a) to increase substantially the taxes levied within the corporate limits of the City and within the area sought to be annexed by the City, as well as within the municipalities forming that part of the County outside the proposed annexation area; (b) to reduce the amount of grants by the Province of Ontario to the whole of the area; (c) to reduce the ability of the individual resident to participate in his local government; (d) to create serious problems which do not presently exist; (e) to create social and emotional enmities which would continue for decades; (f) to weaken (or destroy) sound governments which existed long before the incorporation of the City; (g) to create a municipality burdened with badly needed deferred capital projects, a situation which leaves no ability to finance new developments. 11.

The County has not in its possession all the facts necessary for it to prepare a complete answer to allegations contained in the City's Statement of Claim and reserves the right to amend this Statement of Defence. 12. The County, therefore, re spectfully requests that the Ontario Municipal Board issue the appropriate order to dismiss, with costs, the proceedigs for annexation initiated by By-law Number 2311 of the Corporation of the City of Windsor. SANDWICH SOUTH 1. The Corporation of the Township of Sandwich South (hereinafter referred to as Sandwich South) submits that annexation of part of its area by the Corporation of the City of Windsor (hereinafter referred to as the City) is not the answer to problems arising from growth and development in this area.

2. Sandwich South does not admit any of the allegations contained in the City's State ment of Claim except as may be hereinafter specifically ad mitted. 3. Sandwich South is opposed to annexation of part of its area for the following reasons: (a) It is too far from the City to receive any benefits from annexation; (b) Its residents of long standing, in the proposed annexation area, are socially and emotionally associated with Sandwich South; (c) The recently established residents, in the proposed annexation area, by voluntary choice, disassociated themselves from the City and are now, wllnout the right of democratic expres- 1 Highest for the date was 52 in 1880; lowest was -4 in 1951.
