PIPELINE' MAY .
.REICH,. THIS AREA .
The possibligy of thipplying
towns in this area with natural gas
was under discussion in Chatham
this Week, when Gel, Thomas Weir,
vIce-presidont of the Union Gas
Compariy of Canada, Limited,
stated that a survey of the econo-
mic possibjlities of this district is
being made.
If the project is being carried
out .the supply would come from a
pipeline into the Stratford region,
A northern branch of the pipeline
would possibly extend 'as far UP.
as Wingham, Walkerton, Han-
over, Harriston and Listowel,
The spokesman said that in any
event it did not appear likely that
the project would be started this
year, Of particular interest to the
gas companies is the fact that 'none
of the, towns In this locality are
served by 'a supply of either nat-
ural or artificial gas for heating
purposes at the present time.,

STRANGER FAILS
TO GET CASII
A stranger, as yet unidentified,
wearing a loose dark blue shirt,
walked casually into Carmichael's
clothing store on Friday- evening
during the upper hour. He strol-
led over, 'to Mrs. 'Morris Swanson,
the only person on duty in the
store at the time, and requested
that she cash a cheque. When he
was informed that she was not per-
mitted to do so the man assumed a
very threatening attitude.
As Mrs. Swanson reached for the
desk telephone to call the- police,
the intruder warned her not to do
so and lunged for the phone.
Momentarily overcome by fright,
Mrs. Swansea is thought to have
suffered a slight heart attack as
the intruder threatened her,
At this point it is believed• the
wouldpbe robber hurriedly fled` the
store knocking over several racks
of clothing as he made his exit,
Nothing was missing from the
store and, no money was taken
from the cash register.
Mrs, Swanson was taken to the
hospital for attention and detained
there for treatment, Local pollee
are investigating the incident,
