Died. Camillien Houde, 69, seven times mayor of Montreal, urban symbol of Quebec "nationalism"; of a heart attack; in Montreal. Mayor off and on from 1928 to 1954, rousing, witty Camillien Houde (rhymes with shrewd) could turn almost anything to political advantage, including his bullfrog appearance and big red nose; he often compared himself to Cyrano de Bergerac, saying: "He was ugly as hell, but he had beautiful thoughts." Houde's most famous thought was publicly advising citizens not to register for conscription in World War II. Mounties trundled him off to internment camp, where he stayed four years. Returning to, Montreal, he was met at the railway station by 10,000 cheering citizens, who soon helped re-elect him.
