Black- attended last night's meeting of the city council to present their ase m opposition to the coun fM proposal to establish a new Old Men's Home In that area OUie members of the delegation W'-re James Forman, George S;ie;;ton. A. W. Allaire and Thomas Priest. As spokesman for thC'delega- u n, Mr Black expressed the ,..:.n)n at the outset that the respousioimy lor tne old men fell on the federal or provincial government rather than upon the ratepayers of the city. As for the Westview site, he felt that it was quite unsuitable, situated as It was on one of the highest point of ground in the city In Kamloops the location of the Old Men's Home was in a sheltered valley with a pleasant southern exposure. Cost of maintenance of a building on the site proposed here would be heavy. Further, there was no sewer and water pressure was low. The cost of excavation on the rocky site would w 1Mlaa 01 maiea y e cuy. u migm well run Into $25,000. A school house on the one side and a children's playground on the other also made the site unsuitable. Further disadvantages were the distance from the centre of the city, lack of nearby stores. remoteness of hospital and doctors, lack of roads. Isolation by snow conditions in winter. Nor. continued Mr. Black, could the presence of an Old Men's Home be regarded as an asset to high-priced residential property. Further, the people of Westview felt that they were already neglected as far as school facilities were concerned. Finally, Mr. Black contended, this was a poor time to embark on a building project when costs were high and materials scarce. After the war materials and even buildings would be more reason ably available on sites well served with sjwer facilities, water and roads. Aid. Ocorge Hills, chairman of the city council relief commit tee, while congratulating Mr. Black on the manner of presentation of his case, found himself In disagreement with the most of the points presented by the spokesman. Before Mr. Black was heard, the original petition of the West-view residents opposing the establishment of the Old Men's Home was read and Mayor Daggett reviewed events which had led up to the proposal by the health committee, later endorsed by the council, to abandon the present quarters of the Eventide Home in the Dyer Apartments In favor of the Westview park site measuring 150 by 50 feet. The mayor also mentioned that the matter of eeklng assistance from the provincial government had been considered but the Idea had been dropped since it was felt this might imply obligations to take government cases. Mr. Black was advised, In answer to his questions, that the city received no financial aid at present for Its Old Men's Home, the present Inmates of which were all bona fide old timers of the city. The outcome was that council did not concur with the pe tltion from the residents of Westview and tho committee was Instructed to proceed with the-original plans.

Allied troops have smashed the last organized Nazi resistance south of the Lirt River and have wiped out the Germans' entire front line defence zone there, scoring advances of three to eight miles, headquarters reported today. The Americans have captured Spigno in the Garigliano River valley. The French have captured Montefammera. British and Indian troops of the Eighth Army repulsed a series of Nazi counter-attacks, supported by tanks, 'and recov ered ground southwest of Cassino. The bag of Nazi prisoners since the offensive began on Thursday rose to three thous and. Giorgio puts the Allies in a position to flank the whole German defence system guarding Cassino. The Berlin radio said that the Germans have evacuated several heights south of Cassino and the Allies are throwing new divisions into battle. Up to yesterday the French had advanced as much as seven miles from the take-off point on the AUled Fifth Army right wing and captured Ausonia for the first significant breach in the Gustav Line. Allied headquarters in Italy announced Monday that the Americans had captured Santa Maria Infante and San Pietro in the Garigliano Valley and had taken vital mountain positions on both sides of the Aus-ente River. By that time the French had reached the hills dominating San Giorgla which they later captured. San Giorgio is equally as Important as Ausonia. British and Indian troops had deepened the Rapido River bridgehead to at least two thousand yards into the Lirl Valley which contains the direct road to Rome. In addition to taking more than three thousand prisoners the Allies have inflicted very heavy casualties upon the enemy along the whole front and have suffered casualties themselves. Berne, Switzerland dispatch reports that the Allied push into the Gustav Line, coupled with bombings and partizan sabotage, has disrupted food deliveries and thrown Italy into the greatest confusion since the days following Benito Mussolini's ouster. This was according to border dispatches today.
