'Bomb' In Removed NIAGARA" FALLS, Ont.,

What appeared to be a "deadly bomb" was removed .from the Skylon Tower early today by Constables Roy Reid of the city police and Constable Douglas Farnsworth of.the Ontario Pro­vincial Police.

The bomb turned out to be a thermos bottle covered with tape and with wires protruding from it. It eventually was found to be harmless.

An annonynious call was made to OPP headquarters at 2:30 a.m. The caller said a bomb had been placed in the Skylon building. About a doxen cleaning personnel were in the building at the time.

Detective Carl Chandler and . Constable David Briggs began a search of" the building, assisted by Constables Reid and Farnsworth.

The thermos bottle was found on the second floor in the East Indian exhibit.

It was removed to the parking ; lot by dragging it with a rope.

It was dragged' outside along a padded area and put in "a dump truck. The bottle was taken to the former Ontario Hydro dump in Stanley Avenue South and disintegrated with a shot irom a rifle.

•It did not'explode. Examina­tion of the remains-showed a black powder-like substance, an alarm clock, a quantity of clear liquid and what appeared to be two detonator caps.

The whole operation lasted until 8:40 a.m.

The substances are under analysis.

Deputy Chief Donald Harris said that the fact it was not a bomb "does not detract one bit from the courage the two

-officers displayed-in handling i t . " • • - • -

Youth Held On Of Larceny; A 15th Street youth was ar

rested by police early today and charged with breaking' into a vending machine at Whirlpool State Park.

McheirThOmpsbh, 1?, of 1006 15th St., was arrested by city police following a brief chase in which they said the boy fled on a bicycle in the area of Falls and Main streets.

Police said that at about 2 a.m. they noticed two youths riding bicycles and that as the police car approached t h e youlhs'tried to get away. .

Police said that they ap­prehended Thompson around Little Fourth Street and after questioning charged the youth with larceny and possession of burglary tools. He faced ar­raignment in City Court today before Acting City Court Judge Nunro Rizzo.

Sen. Laverne .predicted a time when: public utilities and police departments, become c o u n t y functions.

But "county government will fall on its face unless it becomes more effective," he said. "We'must equate local government with function."

However, "while " trying to equate function and form you shouldnH get stuck, on form," Sen. Laverne said. "You should see yourselves as part of a. total community. We s h o u l d n ' t abolish city,. village and town but s h i f t v responsibilities around." •

Sen. Laverne, chairman of the JLC, said it "will view this (study) as one of its prize pro jects. It has the markings of the most effective project we're in­volved in."

But this project should be done with "as nonpolrtic an at­titude as you can," . sVn . Laverne said. "Reform never comes with partisanship." Claydon Speaks
