PARIS (AP) — A solerm- marching mass of nearly 200,000 Parisians Tuesday bade fare- well to eight victims of last Thursday’s bleody anti-rightist rioting in a city stalled by sym- pathy strikes.

The turnout of mourners fol- lowing black - draped “coffins rivalled the crowds the day in August, 1944, when Paris was liberated from the Nazis.

Macquarrie Operation

TORONTO (CP) — Horst Kaestner is getting his teeth —or at least half of them—

into an idea.

Mr. Kaestner, a dental eo nician, has had all his teeth pulled so he can expen ment with a false plate of his own design.

His new upper plate is hinged in two places to give it more flexibility and it lacks the arched roof of the con- ventional denture.

“It seemed to me_ there must be a better way to make false teeth,” said Mr. Kaest- ner, a dental assistant in Ger- many before coming to Can- ada in 1956. He decided to try out his invention on himself, so he could best work out any defects on it.

But now a new bug has cropped up to delay the in- ventor’s experiment. An_ up- per wisdom tooth is just com- ing through.

He is also scheduled to take part as one of the seminar leaders when the 14th annual meeting of the Progressive Con- servative Student Federation takes place in Ottawa this com- ing weekend.

Students from every univer- sity in Canada are expected to attend the meeting and they will take part in three full days of discussion and head ad- dresses by many prominent | Conservatives, including Prime Minister Diefenbaker.

Another Island member, Mrs. Margaret Macdonald of Kings, was the principal speaker at a recent meeting of the Elmdale West Progressive Conservative Association in Ottawa. Mrs: A. E. Campbell was hostess and Mrs. John Cooney presided.

The Buctouche men presented a strong case for their village although they were handed numerous questions that will require more study before any decisions can be made.

tourist industry is making rapid strides in the Buctouche area and many new ‘ourist pro- jects were being developed steadily. They said also that they believe a great number of tourists that go to the Shediac area also visit the Buctouche area. One of Shediac’s strongest points for location of the ter- minal there was the great num- ber of tourists that visit the area in the summer.
