"I've been with Johnny and we
got some candy and some mems
brought me home" .-.....,..
The mems" were Policemen
John P. Gerard and Robert l.
Guillian. They discovered Billy in
the 140O block of Monroe street
NV, nearly a mile from his home
and some As minutes after Johnny
was located. -
Mrs. zanner explained Billy was
taken to the Zoo on Sunday and
returned home entranced with the
"greenies," which she interpreted
either as turtles or alligators.
She figures they might have
gone to the Zoo, one entrance of
which is only four blocks away,
then set out for the business sec
ton where their vagabonding
ended.
But it's a secret locked inside
two grim youngsters. who were
glad to be back home.

Newsprint Industry
Confused With Three
Different Price Scales
BY the Associated Press

TORONTO, Oct. 31.-Users of
Canadian newsprint today had
three prices in front of them,
the industry's most mixed-up Sit
uation in years.
It started with an announce
ment October IL by Powell River
Co., Ltd, big West Coast pro-
ducer. of a $40 a ton increase
effective October Is.
This meant a New York base
price of $110 ton and a Cana
dian base price of $106.
Abitibi Power & Paper Co., Ltd,
followed October II with the same
increase. effective November /,
and Great Lakes Paper Co., Ltd;
st. Lawrence Paper Mills Co.,
Ltd; BoWater Newfoundland Pulp
& Paper Mills. Ltd. and Consoli-
dated Paper Corp, Ltd. other big
Eastern producers. fell into line.
Abitibi Meets Reduction.
Then Canadian International
Paper Co. announced October 26
an increase of Sc a ton, 81 less
than the others.
Yesterday Abitibi took cogni-
zance of this and stated:
ITO avoid a period of uncer-
tainty and confusion we have de-
cided to meet this reduction with
out delay" But the announcement
added:
1--WE believe that our previously
announced increase of $40 was in
the best interests of consumers of
newsprint as well as our own. 1t
is needed to meet increasing costs
and thus to encourage further
expansion of supply. We do not
believe that the increase of $6
will be adequate to accomplish
this purpose"
Other Firms Refuse Comment.
Other companies made no COM
ment yesterday.
So consumers have before them
three prices: $110 from Great
Lakes, st. Lawrence Consolidated
and Powell River; $106 from Inter-
national and Abitibi, and 500
from companies which as yet have
announced no change.
Newsprint prices reached q high
of $112.60 in 1920 and dropped to
$40 in 1934-5 with most companies
in difficulties. 1t was up to $50
in 1938-42 and postwar increases
have included STA to $84 in 1916,
up to 500 in 1947, $96 in 1948 and
500 in mid-1949.
Canadian production is more
than million tons yearly, of
which more than 80 per cent goes
to the United States.
