Glasgow gang members display arms handed Over to police saturday Scot gangs surrender Glasgow a four of Scotland s toughest youth gangs have handed Over their razors and meat cleavers to police under a disarmament Amnes-1 to arranged by an English pop Singer. More than 100 weapons axes hammers bayonets and clubs studded with spikes were dumped on an unused parking lot saturday night in the Grimy easterhouse District of Glascow. The gangs known As the Pak the Crummy the rebels and the Tot have terrorized the area for years with Street fights and Back Alley brawls. Singer Frankie Vaughan met separately with the four ringleaders last week and persuaded them to Lay Down their arms. In Vaughan promised them Money and other Aid to build a youth Centre run by the teen agers themselves. The handover of arms lasted hour watched Over by two uniformed policemen. One group of boys arrived with a Brunild fire loss Brunild Man. Fire Friday afternoon completely destroyed Brunild s Community Hall with loss estimated at some and also caused an estimated damage to the nearby Curling rink and Manitoba Pool elevator Annex. The Blaze first noticed about p.m., was fought by fire brigades from Rosenorn Morris and Sperling. The Hall about 34 by 90 feet with full basement was remodelled last Winter.

Amnesty or no amnesty the parking lot was still in the Pak s territory and that is out of Bounds to other gangs. But the chief Constable declared the amnesty a Success and announced it would continue with arms being accepted by the City s police stations at any time.
