Fear B. C. Killer Will

SeekThreeMoreVictims

By RAY TIMSON

MISSION. B.C., June 26 —(OP) -- A belief that the killer of Silver Hill will come out of hiding and attempt to slay at least three more persons was exprmed Saturday by Phil Catherwood, superintend- ent of roads for Mission municip- ality, who considers himself No. 1 on the "death list."

It was over a feud with his road gang that Ivar Johnson, 70-year- old recluse, allegedly started his. trail-of death last Thursday. Along its path two farm women were left dead -- Mrs. Marie Lindberg, 68- year-old widow. and Mrs. George Barrett, 60, mother of three child- ren.

Ho also left his home and farm buildings a smoking ruin Police posses have scoured acres of stumpy bushland and isolated cab- ins without trace of the fugitive. Two charges of murder stand against him.

"I have known Johnson for so years," Catherwood said as he idly stood around the stump farm where the recluse Johnson could be lurking with his .30-.30 'rifle. "And I don't. believe he will try to make a run for it."

Catherwood believes Johnson will return to the scene of the kill- ings and attempt to take tho lives of Mission Police Chief Peter Ber- ger. neighbor Ivar Ericsori and himself (Cstherwood).

“He hates all three of us and thinks we've tried to rob him of part of his land in putting in this new road. I think he will attempt to avenge his hatreds."

Johnson. during his 36 years of farming in the hilly and almost impenetrable Silver Hill arcs, has worked for Catherwood on road gangs.

UITAWA, June 26 --(CP)-With fewer hens to do the job. Canada is finding herself in the midst of a declining egg production that's holding up egg shipments to the United Kingdom.

Egg production iri- May amounted to 39.944000 dozen, a decline from the 41,047,000 dozen laid in the sarnc month last. year. There was a decline cf 0.5 per cent. in the total production for thr- first five m0l1ill5 of the year compared with the same period a year ago

An Agricultural Department spokesman said the reason for the derdine goes back to the end of 1947 when poultry producers found

egg prices fluctuating downwards and bought fewer chicks.

“Production probably will go up in the latter months of the year." he said. "but we were afraid right. at the bfiginning of i949 that we wouldn't. be able to fill the United Kingdom egg contract.“

The contract calls for the ship- ment of 19,500,000 dozen storage eggs. 3.000 tc-ns of dried egg arid 4.000 ions of frozen egg. Prices be- ing paid are slightly below those of 1948
