every time he is interviewed by Frank Shuster on

Fraudulent Repair Man Gets
30 Months Term in Prison
Magistrate H. Glenn Hays,
QC, Tuesday in Goderich sent-
enced Beverley John Patrick
Abbott, 33, London, to two and
one half years in Kingston
penitentiary on charges of
fraud, in obtaining $6,196.60
from Miss Lillian Haist, 67,
and of obtaining $760 from Mr.
and Mrs. Ed. Morlock, both in
their eighties, all of Crediton.
Evidence was produced that
Abbott and his "employees"
were doing repair work to
homes. They started to repair
the Morlock home on Wednes-
day, July 27 and completed the
work on. Friday, July 29, for
which they received' a cheque
for $760.
A daughter of the elderly
couple, who is employed at
Centralia RCAF Station, was
not satisfied with the "work"
which had been done during
her absence. Miss Morlock
then contacted a London firm
for whom Abbott said he was
employed: the London firm of-
fered her 82 cents refund
which she refused.
Upon further investigation
it was learned that the work
which had been done should
Airman Fined For
Impaired Driving
An RCAF Clinton airman,
Edmund L. Dower, 24, paid
$50 and costs after pleading
guilty to impaired driving in
Exeter court. His licence was
suspended for three months.
Evidence revealed Dower
had forced a police car off the
road near Grand Bend on the
night of August 27. He had
difficulty getting his car stop-
ped, had to lean on the side
of his car to steady himself,
and had' trouble finding his
driving permit for police.
"It's drivers like you who
kill people," Magistrate Hays
told Dower. Noting that the
armed forces received a raise
in pay this week, the magis-
trate suggested the airman
could find a better place for
his money "than investing it
in the stocks of liquor firms."

What Does My
Label Mean?
Now and then readers of
the Clinton News-Record ask us this.
Suppose your label looks like this:
Mrs. J. G. Jones
Clinton, Ontario Nov. 3210
That means your paper is due at the end of
November, 1960. When it is paid—the next paper
you get will have a label like this:
Mrs. J. G. Jones
Clinton, Ontario Nov. 321
Then it will mean that your paper is, paid for
until the end of November, 1961. The last figure
in the row indicates the year in which your paper
comes due.

Changes Being
Made at Arena
Clinton Lions Arena will
soon be open for skating and
hockey games.
The newly-appointed arena
manager and engineer Har-
wood are busy making ice this
week. The lobby and various
rooms are receiving a coat of
grey and white paint and •a
gas furnace is being installed,
Some electrical changes are al-
so being made.
This year there will •be more
room in the lobby in front of
the lunch counter. The stair-
way to the seats has been
moved and now goes up to the
landing at rear of seats,
straight in from the front door.
Ice making has been slow
this year, but it is to be hoped
that Clinton arena will still
have the best sheet of ice in
this area. In previous years
the arena has been complimen-
ted on their- ice. Red and blue
lines' 'are being painted on 'to-
day.

AbbOtt and a fellow employ-
ee called on Miss Lillian Haist
who lives alone at Crediton
and told her she should have
her home sand blasted, show-
ing Miss Heist photographs of
work which they said they had
done.
Miss Haist consented to have
her home sand blasted; before
work was started Abbott got
from her a cheque' for $400.
The following day a workman
went on the roof. He reported
the house needed a new roof.
Workmen arrived and sand-
blasting and roofing were com-
pleted the same day.
While work was going on •a
man visited Miss Heist. Ab-
bott found out her visitor 'had
been paying off a debt and
obtained another $300 from
Miss Heist.
On July 15 a cheque for
$4,600 was issued and certified
by the bank; it was cashed in
London on the 18th. In the
meantime another man called
on Miss Haist to advise her
that their company had been
longer at the job than at first
had been agreed upon and that
it would be necessary to charge
her another $896.60.
Crown Attorney J. W. Bush-
field said he hoped that people,
particularly elderly persons
Woud not allow anyone whom
they do not know talk business

Wheat Producers
Receive $24,500
Return of Levy
A total of $24,531.84 arrived
in Huron County on Tuesday,
in the form of cheques deliver-
ed to men who sold wheat be-
tween July 1, 1959 and June'
30, 1960. There are 988 pro-
ducers involved.
In Ontario a total of $560,-
574 was paid back to the 24,-
000 producers.
This amount is equivalent •to
the nine cent levy collected by
the Ontario Wheat Producers
Marketing Board on delivery
as a price stabilizing measure.
Under the marketing plan, this
fund is deducted at the time
wheat is sold. Should produc-
er sales to dealers become
greater than the market de• -
mand, the dealers may offer
the excess amount to the
board. The board is then obli-
gated to purchase the surplus
wheat from the dealers. Each
year the unused portion of the
levy collected is returned to
the producers who marketed
the wheat.
Last year the board made a
five cent per bushel payment.
The balance of four cents per
bushel was absorbed in the
cost of marketing three and
one half million bushels of sur-
plus wheat.
