Description: "01/22/1969: At 12:30 p.m, the St-Laurent police station received an anonymous phone call saying that two bombs were going to explode at the E.R. Squibb and Son Ltd. plant. Some 300 persons were evacuated and a police search located an eight-inch by 14-inch box secured with tape and marked in French ""BOMBE - ATTENTION - MORT."" The device, made up of two phosphorus flares wired to a battery and an alarm clock, was dismantled. It could not have exploded according to the policeman who dismantled it."
