Duncan Retires From Ontario Hydro James S. Duncan, who rose from. a $9-a-week factory h,and to one of Canada's best known executives, guided Ontario Hy- dro 'through on important per- iod of its. history; Highlights of his term as Chairman included the comple- tion of the great international power 'development on the St. Lavarente River and the in- creasing emphasis on fuel- berning power plants — such as construction of large con- ventional coal-burning projects, like Lakeview, and the begin- ning of Canada's first nuclear generating stations. Mr. Duncan's reeignation was announced in the Legislature March 29 by Premier Leslie Frost, who accepted it with regret. His successor, who will assume office in, May, is W. Ross Strike, Bowmanville, a member of the Commission since .1944. Following ;the announcement, Mr, Duncan said he hoped to carry out 'plans he had origin- ally formulated after his retire- Ment as President and Chair- ) man of the Board of 1VIassey-1 Harrie-Fergusani Limited in 1956. He Said he .has always been interested in the effects of Communism On' 'the Western World, and on Canada and its nature in particular. He plan's On an On-the-Spot gUirvo of developments in various count- ries throughout the world, es- pecially those which have recA ently obtained independence. He said he would Make these visitSas a businessman, with no official affiliations. Mr. Duncan, who will be 68 in May, said he does net plan to "retire," but hopes to re- main active.

It's a pre- cedent-setting ease involving insurance responsibility. The other car in the acci- dent driven by Ivan Layng, 25, was owned by his cousin, Mar- garet Campbell, It 'had been willed to her by her mother, who died! three months before the accident. While the moth- er paid for insurance for a period extending beyond the date of 'the accident, the in- surance company contends its coverage lapses when the per- son for whom it is issued dies. The ease has created con- siderable interest in the in- surance industry 'because its result could have far-reaching effect. If the Global company wins, it may mean that if a driver is killed in an accident, his !insurance won't cover any of the damages: incurred by him. The legal complexities, and repercussions, 'however, are not of great concern 'to Harold Fin- lay, an ordinary farmer in a little community in a large 'country which guarantees jus- tice to the individual. His question is: how many years must it take to get 'that jus- tice, Although it will soon be th- ree yeas since the Harold Fin- lay family of RR 2, Zurich was involved in a fatal traffic crash, legal settlement of dam- ages, is still before the courts, The case, involving claims of nearly $31,500, has been on the Supreme Court of Canada docket since early last year. It's been post-poned at least twice and is now scheduled to be heard in the May sitting. There's no a,..a•urance, how- ever, that it will proceed even then. In fact, it may be years yet before the legal wreng9e is settled. And while the case seeming- ly languishes in this slow jud- icial process, the 'tension, anx- iety, consternation and suffer- ing of a motherless family continues. The accident happened April 20, 1958, near Poplar Hill. Mrs. Finlay, mother of six children, was one of the two persons killed. Harold Finlay and two children were hospital- ized with serious injuries. The four other youngsters luckily escaped harm. In' January, 1959, the family was awarded $31,485 damages by the Ontario Sunreine Court which found the other driver 90 percent responsible. Appeal Upon Appeal In June of the same year Harold Finlay's lawyers sued the Global General Insurance Company for the claim. The court, ruled Global did not have tO pay. In February last year, 'the Ontario Appeal Court ruled Global must assume liability. Global filed an appeal with the Supreme Court of Canada, There it rests. The case was first scheduled for September, then: November, then February, new May. Even if _the court rules; in Zurich Accident Victim. Still Awaits Court's Decision On 3-Year-Old Claim (Exeter Times-Advocate) his favour, Harold Finlay has been advised, it will take an- other six months before settle- ment is reached. Should he loge, the claims will have to go before the unsatisfied judge- ment fund in Ontario and an- other round of legal delays, investigations and hearings will begin. When will it end? Harold Finlay asks himself. Debts Remain In the meantime, a huge pile of bills hangs over his head_ statements from the hospital, doctors, surgeons, druggists, undertaker and many others'. Ironically, he suffers embarae- sment, too, because many people believe he's received the amount of the claim and has profited from his misfortune, He hasn't had a cent. And he's still plagued physi- cally from the injuries he re- ceived three years agn Prob- ably 'as 'a result of the frac- ture of his skull, his ,head aches 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Part of his right hand and arm is constantly numb, The Hay Township farmer was hospitalized for weeks ditee. the accident. He wasn't able to start even light work on his; farm until seven months later. Straggled Through Despite the many-sided ad- versity, the extent of which only they know, the family has struggled through, thanks to the help' of neighbours and friends and the assumption of responsibility by the children. Time may have little effect on the settlement of legal claims but it doesn't delay a family's growing up. Elizabeth, the eldeet daughter who as- sumed - 'her mother's role on her death, will launch her own home, this- month, when
