Being the owner of a large brick block on Main street, Dr. J, AV. Browning has had plenty of room to store this large and val uable collection Coming to Exeter in the spring of 1867, he early conceived a desire to save his copies of The Globe, Hav ing been acquainted with some of the politicians of Toronto whose names often appeared in The Globe, lie had a personal reason for preserving them. For political reasons ,also, he felt he could not part with them. They were kept for future reference and especially to preserve the speeches and editorials of the late Hon. George Brown. ( In going back over a file of such papers, the modern reader' of mid dle age is greatly interested in the almost incredible faith of the Can adian statesmen of the 70’s and 80’s, of the last century as __ambitious undertakings that were I triumphantly carried through with, apparently a small display of effort. In 1870 the 200-year-old charter of the Hudson’s Bay Company was to expire and rather than have it re newed in the old form, young Can ada bought out the rights of the company to the territory, ‘but guar anteed to them the right to trade as before. The purchase was l^rge but not exorbitant. Henceforth our ex-' pansion was assured. | Out of this vast territory Mani toba ivas carved in 1870 and in 1871 a second new province, British Columbia, was organized with the promise that a railroad would be built within 10 years to connect it with Eastern Canada.

I then discussed. ministerial association That there might he closet' co operation between the clergy and the medical doctor in the treat ment of disease was the contention of Rev. Hackendovn, of Zurich, in a paper given at the South Huron Ministerial Association last Monday afternoon. The speaker quoted statistics to show that there had been an alarming increase in men tal diseases during the past quarter of a century and that this increase was due largely to the higher rate of modern living. As fear, jealousy, hatred and worry are some of the main causes of illness, the minis ter working in close co-operation with the doctor, can render a ser vice by instilling in the patient a sense of love, joy, peace, faith and confidence in himself and his God. Even organic diseases according to medical science are first largely functional and in many instances some soul-surgery by the minister has helped restore the patient’s health. A resolution asking the Liquor Control Board to close all bever age rooms in the province at 10 o’clock p.m. was passed at the meet ing and forwarded to the proper authorities.

Their verdict was re turned at 3 p.m. Justice McFarland agreed with both verdicts. Because of the boy’s youth, he said, he would be given a chance to change his career and rid himself of criminal tendencies, “I have no intention,” his lord ship added, “of imposing a long term in a penitentiary where Flen niken will be herded with crimin als.” Sentence was two years less day determinate in an Ontario formatory, and the same term determinate. Flenniken was charged over death of “Kip” White, jail turnkey, during an abortive attempt to es cape from December. The case at 12.20 lasting nearly three heard from Crown Presecutor E. S. Livermore, K.C., Defence Counsel Frank Donnelly and Justice Farland. The jury was escorted to a for dinner and did not start sideration of the case until 2 o’clock. Mr. Livermore maintained it a planned murder. Accused hidden the hammer under his the day before the attack and waited his chance which came when the turnkey was alone and the cell block door was open. His actions were not innocent and childlike. On ly conclusion was that Flenniken intended to knock White uncon scious and get his keys, “It has been testified that ac cused was amazed after he struck White. He was amazed and sur prised that White was still alive,” counsel said.

The Act went 'into operation July 1st, 1941, when i-contributions from employees, em ployers and the Dominion Govern ment were first made. TO be eligible to receive benefit, a worker must fulfill certain con ditions set out in the Act and regu lations. To avoid misunderstanding and disappointment by workers who might file claim for benefit and then find they could not receive payment, Mr. R. N. Watt, (Manager of the Local Emiployanent and Claims office has outlined the nec essary conditions for the receipt of benefit. A worker must have contributed for 180 days during the two years preceding the date on which claim for benefit is made.

Mr* Watt also stated that a Iter who contributed for 180 and voluntarily leaves his position without just cause in the hope of drawing benefit is not eligible to receive benefit, Unemployment in surance Benefit is available only to those who become unemployed through no fault of their own and are unable to secure a job.

Defence counsel spoke of accused re peatedly as a “child” and a “boy” and pictured him playing with pa per airplanes" while in jail. He maintained the fatal assault was an act of poor judgement, not one of intent to kill and told the jury that if Mr. White had received the pro per medical attention in time, he would be alive today. He emphas ized Dr. McKenzie’s evidence that the blow was a moderate one and not sufficient to cause death. Rath er was it the progressive menin gitis that was allowed to set in and increase that proved fatal. His chief defence was on the question of intent. Justice McFarland overruled Donnelly telling the jury that prisoner was legally in jail at time of the fatal assault. , His lordship, in his address, not review the evidence, limiting his remarks chiefly to the law.'
