Park Board Sets
Supervised Hours
At Wading Pool
Due to some slight misunder-
standings over hours and use of
the children's wading pool in Clin-
ton Community Park, the Park
Board has set a schedule of hours
when the wading pool will be un-
der supervision.
The supervised hours are 10 to
12 a.m,; 2 to 5 pm, and 7 to 8 in
the evenings. Children may use the
pool at other times, but must be
accompanied by an adult (pref-
erably a parent).
The board regrets any incon-
venience which has been caused
by irregular hours in the past.

Jocelyne Gaudet, 13, said that

about a calf in the Bob Lawson

new-born calves on the county
road on the right hand side by
the woods", and would she like to
see them. Jocelyne said she had
to go to Guides that night, but
they arranged at 6 p.m. Tuesday
to go see the calves. Jocelyne said
Steve told her not to tell anyone,
and not to bring anyone.
At 6 on Tuesday, Steven called
for her, she said she could not
go, and he left. Half an hour later
she went to the Lawson barn,
and then went on her bicycle down
the county road to the woodlot,
where she met and talked to Phil-
ip Burns. Then she went on along
the laneway beside the woodlot,
pushing her bike and calling Stev-

so she returned to the paved road,
and talked to Arnold George, ask-
ing if he had seen Steve. She
went down to the river, talked to
the boys there, and then went back
to the Lawson farm, getting there
about 6.45 p.m.

Mrs. Dorothy Bohonis, also a

and his bicycle. She did not know
Steven at that time. She did not
See them leave. Mrs. Bohonis said
she noticed Lynne playing with
something on a chain around her
neck. Suckers were given out as
prizes for the Brownies, and
Lynne received one of them.
Twelve-year-old Warren Hath-
eral recalled that he was playing
football on the school field when
Steven and Lynne went past, and
rode down the hill, with Lynne
on the crossbar of the bike. This
was about 7 p.m. Half hour later,
he saw Steven coming back to-
ward J. Block. Warren said he
asked, "What happened to the
Harper? Did you feed her to the
fish ?" and he thought Steven an-
swered "No."
Eleven-year old Stuart Westie
saw Lynne with Steven going to-
ward the river on the county road
on the boy's racer bike. He heard
the question asked Steven when
he returned a half-hour later, but
thought the answer given was, "No
I just let her off at the highway",
Dr, A. H. Brooks, at that time
senior medical officer at Station
Clinton and Dr. J. A. Addison told
of giving a medical examination
of Steven Truscott on Friday
night at about 10.35 p.m. Both re-
ported a number of scratches and
other marks, and one major bruise
on the boy's body. Both felt the
attitude of the youth was not what
one would expect of a 14-year-old
boy. They used words such as
apathetic, too co-operative.
Constable H. D. Hobbs 'reported
on interviews he had with Steven
Truscott. At the school on June 10
the boy told of picking Lynne up
and giving her a ride on his bi-
cycle about 7 to 7.30 p.m. He
said "Lynne said she knew the
people in the little white house
on the highway and she migha go
to see them, but she had to be
home by 8.30". Steve said he drop-
ped her off at the highway, went
back to the bridge, looked back
to the highway and saw her get
into a car with yellow licence plat-
es.
On June 11 Constable Hobbs qu-
estioned the boy again, and Steve
told about the gold chain and lock-
et Lynne was wearing. He said he
had seen Richard Gellatley on the
road, and also a grey Plymouth

called that Richard Gellatley ar-
rived about the time Burns left
She stayed at the river until 8.05

Brian Glover, 14, said he left
the bridge about 7.10 with Tom
Gillette, each on his own bike.
He met Jocelyne Gaudet about
7.30 talking to Arnold George.
Jocelyne was in the lane about
30 to 40 yards. He did not see
Steven or Lynne.
The next day, on June 10, he
was at the bridge with Steven and
Arnold George, and other boys.
Brian said that Paul Desjardine
asked Steve why he went into
the woods with Lynne. Brian said
Steve answered he had heard a
calf in there and took her in to
show it to her. Brian did not re-,
call them saying anything else.
Paul Desjardine, 14, Grade 9,
said he went fishing at the river
about 6 p.m. He saw Steven half
way up from the woods, alone on
his bike, circling on the highway.
The next day, Julie 10, he said he
asked Butch (A. George) if Stev-
en had taken Lynne into the
woods, and Butch said, "I asked
him the same thing; and lie said
he had."
Tom Gillette, 14, told of conver-
sation at the school on June 10,
when the youngsters were asking
Steven about Lynne being miss-
ing. On the way into school Stev-
en had told him about the calf.
That night at the river, he said
Arnold George was under the
bridge throwing rocks and he said,
"I saw you going into the woods
with Lynne." Steven said, "What
was that again, Butch?" and Geo-
rge repeated it. Steven said, "I
didn't go into the bush with
Lynne." Tom said it sounded as if
Steven was threatening Butch,
Tom also recalled that at Mc-
Ewan's Custard Cup about 8.25
p.m. Tuesday night, June 9, he had
talked with Arnold George, and
George said then that he'd seen
Steven go into the bush with
Lynne.
Arnold George, 14, was not
sworn. He said he cut the lawn
after supper on June 9, then took
the mower home and went look-
ing for Steven. He went down the
county road about 7 p.m. and met
Jocelyne Gaudet at the bush alone
He talked with her and then went
to the swimming hole until 8.30
p.m. He did not see Steve until
about 9 at the Truscott home. At
that time Steven was wearing a
white T-shirt and red pants. Arn-
old asked him where he went, and
Steve told about taking Lynne to
the highway where she was picked
up by a car going toward Sea-
forth. I asked him why he gave
her a ride. He said, "Why do
you want to know ?" I said, "I
don't know, let's skip it. Let's play
catch." Arnold said he did not
know Lynne was missing then.
When he met Jocelyne at the
bushlot, he asked her if she'd seen
Steve. She said no, she was look-
ing for Lynne. Again at the river
George said that Jocelyne asked if
he had seen Lynne. George said
he told her no, and then did not
pay any more attention to her,
On Wednesday Steven was ques-
tioned by the police at the school
and then spoke to George to get
assistance with a story he'd told
that he'd seen George at the river.
Arnold said he had not seen Stev-
en, but to help him, decided to tell
the police he had.
George said he did not see Stev-
en go into the woods with Lynn.
Wednesday evening at the river,
he talked with the other boys
about Lynne being lost. One of
the boys asked Steven what he
was doing up at the bush With
Lynne, He said he wasn't in the
bush, he was at the side of the
bush, Steven asked Paul who said
that. Paul said that I had. Steven
said, "Yon didn't see me at the
bush, did you, Butch?" and I said
"No." Then we talked about go-
ing to the carnival that night in
