Dashwood Driver Not Held for Reckless Driving
me,” Mr. Smith said.
He put out his wreck flai*es and
went back to the bridge. The man
was still standing by the car. He had
been injured and there was a pool of
blood at his feet. The man asked
him what had happened. There were
three otlxex* occupants of the car, all
of them unconscious, one in the real*
seq.t of the car and two in the ditch.
Mr. Smith said, and explained that
he had gone and got help.
Denies Car Was Ont of Control
I
A charge of reckless driving, laid
against Edwin Miller, of Dashwood,
following a crash at the (Medway
Creek bridge on No. 4 Highway just
south of Birr on February 6, was
dismissed in county police court in
London last week after the crown
failed to prove that Miller was tne
driver involved.
The cax* was owned by Mrs. Miller
but the charge was laid unclei* the
new Criminal Code section and under
this section the driver, rather than
the owner, is held responsible. Un
der the Highways Traffic Act the
ownei* may he charged with the of
fence.
Evidence of the crown was that
the car had crashed into the side of
the bridge, almost completely wreck
ing the cax* and injuring four occu
pants.
However, it was indicated that had
defense been called, the defense
would have tried to prove that the
Miller car struck the bridge only
after having been hit by a truck.
Truck Driver Testifies
William ’Smith, driver for Labatt’s
was the chief witness fox* the crown’s
case against Miller. I-Ie said that he
was driving toward London on the
evening of the crash and just as he
approached the bridge, he saw the
Miller cax* stopped at the south end
of the bridge, angle-ways across the
roadway. A 'man was in front of
the car leaning against the radiator.
“;I swung to the east to avoid hit
ting the cax* and the xnan, but there
wasn’t enough room to get through,
and .1 caught the right real* of the
car. It bent my bumper around and
this locked the wheel and ditched
He denied that his car had been
out of control before it hit the (Miller
car and insisted that it was stopped
without lights when he hit it and
had struck the bridge before he came
upon the scene.
He said he could not say who had
been the driver. Traffic Officer H.
Lemon, who investigated the crash,
also gave evidence, hut was not al
lowed to put in statements taken the
day following the incident.
Miller suffered .a fractured nose
and lacerations to his right hand
and knee. Hubert Restemeyer, of
Dashwood, suffered concussion. Mel
vin Restemeyer, a brother, suffered
a fractured left ankle, lacerations on
the scalp and a bruised knee. Andrew
Mosser, the fourth occupant, suffer
ed a fractured right hip and knee and
”a fractured skull. He was released
from hospital only a week ago.
Frank Donnelly, of Goderich, acted
as defense council ‘and t he pointed
out that under the Criminal Gode
charge of reckless driving, the driver
is held responsible and argued that
the crown had to prove the accused
was the driver.

DIES IN BLANCHARD
That old saying about the way the
twig is bent applies to hospitality aS
thoroughly as if that had been its
first application. When ,you stop
to think the matter over, about the
first hospitable gesture we ever
xnade is an offer foi* food. A baby
hand dips into a porridge bowl and
is held forth to an adoring parent -
ox- axi embarrassed bachelor uncle
With much smacking of lips no
thought is yet being given to “man
ners” - the food is accepted and the
baby crowing delightedly, exper
iences for the first time the joy of
being a hostess.
Her next essay in hospitality fol
lows the gift of a tea set. The little
china cups and saucers are placedj
in front of her dolls, her little}
friends, her bachelor uncles. The tiny ,
teapot pours out what passes for tea.
Punctilio that is sometimes sadly
lacking in latex* years is almost as
much a feature of the occasion as are
the sometimes grubby sandwiches
that accompany the tea.
COD AND CHEESE TEAM TO
PLEAE
One good turn deserves another,
and here Canada Cod and Canadian
Cheese team up to make a grand
dinner. It’s simple, too, easy to make
on busy days, and easy-on-the-budget
But, of course, the real test is
whether the family likes it, and that
is a foregone conclusion, with two
well known favorities, all topped off

1st Method: Wash the fish to take
off the salt left on the surface, then
soak in cold water twelve to eigh
teen hours, with the skin on top.
2nd method: Shred the fish, wash
it several times to take off salt left
on the surface, then put it into cold
water and heat to the boiling point;
pour off the water, and repeat the
operation a second and even a third
time, if necessary. Do not cut. dried’
fish with a steel knife; if a knife is
used the fish will take on a “steely”

SAFETY AND THE ROYAL VISIT
The forthcoming visit to Canada
by Theix* Majesties King George and
Queen Elizabeth will be a tridxnph
of modern safety engineering. From
the moment they board the H. M. S.
“Repulse” in England until they ar
rive home again nearly two months
later, practically every present-day
development in scientific accident
prevention will play an important
part in protecting the lives and
health of the King and Queen.
The ship which will bring them
across the Atlantic will be as safe
as human ingenuity can make it.
Fax* out at sea, it will be met by con
voys of the Canadian naval and air
forces. Theix* ’function will be to

The special train and automobiles
in which King George and Queen

ing design, in beauty of line and
safety of operation. Every known de

Even more

who will pilot the train and drive
the motor cars which will carry the
Royal visitors. Unblemished safe
ty records will be the prime requisite
for this appointment, for any mech

conducting the Royal tour would be
a staixx on the nation’s honor.
Every Canadian citizexx can do
his share in ensuring that the visit
of the King and Queen will not be
marred by any untoward incidents.
The problems of traffic movement
which will arise at every point along
the route can only be solved if every
motorist and every pedestrian makes
a determined effort to practice safe

The successful application by Can

by Ontario’s minister of highways
