Reward Is Up For Rustlers
KENTVILLE, N.S. (AP) — An- napolis Valley farmers Saturday offered a $1,000 award for infor- mation leading to the arrests of cattle rustlers in the area. The award was offered following a meeting at nearby Horton.
Last week, two men were sen- tence to three-year prison terms for cattle rustling. Police said re- ports of cattle rustling are still being investigated.
W. Gordon Woodman of Grand Pre, N.S., said farmers in thé area lost nearly 30 cattle during the last year. Most of the miss- ing stock are believed the vic- tims of rustling.

At Dec. 1, personnel strength totalled 19,933, comprising 2,451 officers, 17,187 men and 615 wrens. Forty - nine per cent of these were serving at sea, prob- ably the highest proportion ever, in war or peace, and one of the highest ratios in any navy.

Mr. Marsh demanded produc- tion costs for Dosco mines and the company refused to disclose them, saying it was not Dosco,; policy—nor policy of any North) American firm—to disclose such figures.
In his statement Friday Mr. Marsh said the company’s stand is “‘preposterous.””

“Intemperate name calling ip the press is not going to help al- leviate the situation or win pub- lic support for the industry.”
Dosco has announced it must close three mines in Nova Scotia unless new markets for coal are found. The union contends pro- duction costs must be studied to solve the industry's problems.”
Reds Release Yank Sailors
HONG KONG (AP) Two American sailors who said they overstayed their shore leave in Hong Kong and wandered into Communist China last week were released by the Chinese Commu- nists Sunday.
The sailors, identified as Jerry K. Munfrada and Roy D. Bazzell, both 29, spent four nights in Com- munist hands. They said they were questioned repeatedly but were not ill treated.
They said they did not know they had crossed the border until, they were picked up by Com- munist militia.
Navy officials here said they will be placed in custody pending a decision on the disposal of their

with deeds.
By EDDY GILMORE PARIS (AP)—Four remarkable men—whose ages total 286 years —this weekend began a health- taxing climb to the summit that would stagger thousands of younger mortals.
This unusual quartet of course:
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, wholl be 84 in 17 days; President Eisenhower, 70 next October;
President de Gaulle, 70 next No- vember.
And the baby of them all, Prime Minister Macmillan, 66 this coming February.
In looks and action each belies his age.
How do they stand the pace of tedious travel, rough, tough polit- ical negotiation, conducted in- doors and often under nerve-rack-
SOMETHING IN COMMON
The only thing their daily rou- tine seems to have in common is —early to bed and early to rise. All of them drink a little. Aden- auer likes German white wine and some of the headier vintages of France. And an occasional whisky. Eisenhower will take the occasional whisky and the wines of lunches and dinners. De Gaulle is partial to wine and an oc- casional cognac. Macmillan likes strong cigars with mellow port.
Adenauer loathes smoking. Eisenhowec has abandoned it. de Gaulle hasn’t been seen smoking in years.
But they all like to get to bed betwaen 10:30 and 11 o'clock ‘at
Remarkable Ot Prepare For Summit
‘Leader’ In April: | Paris Is-Suggested
For Series Opener
The Western summit meeting also. produced the announcement that de Gaulle will visit the United States in April in advance of the East-West meeting.
Speculation in Paris had cen- tred on April 25 as the i 7 starting date for the con- ference. Some diplomats believe, however, that Khrushchev will be given a choice of dates in late March.
SWITCH SITES
The choice of Paris, a non-new- tral city in the cold war, implies a Western idea of a series of
ilar messages from the three Western leaders today. Copies went. off to the Soviet capital Moscow. A Western informant said the message was “‘very pol- ite.”
Eisenhower made it clear Sun- day night he favors several sum- mit sessions with the Soviet Union.
“The president feels it would be very difficult to solve all prob lems at one summit conference,” said Press Secretary James Hag erty. . ; ~Two—items—of—specifie. to Canada emerged from
