DATED at Exeter, Ont., this 3rd day of December, 1940. F. W. GLADMAN, Solicitor for Horace H. Pfaff and Thos. Harrison, Execu­ tors. undersigned on day of Decem- IS FURTHER County Judge J. M. Costello the Grand Jury .at Goderich on Wednesday of last week that he heartily agreed with their recom­ mendation that an auxiliary power plant be installed In the Countv Home in the event that Hydro failed as a fire protection His Honor said: “I may be a crank but I wonder what would happen to the old people at the home on a day such as today if the Hydro failed. I am going to see that your report is given wide cir­ culation where it will do the most good. I hope that county officials will take cognizance of the report. I cannot stress too strongly that we can always afford money for purposes of this kind.” Charge is Dismissed Antoine Garon, 34, Clinton busi­ ness man was found not guilty of dangerous driving by a Jury so in­ structed by Judge Costello, after a motion for dismissal by defence counsel Douglas Haines had been argued for 9 0 minutds by both de­ fence and crown counsels with the jury in retirement. The crown rested its case at noon on Wednesday and immediately the court resumed in the afternoon Haines asked for dismissal as evidence had been produced of degree of negligence which the cused was charged; that there no evidence of speed given by crown witnesses and nothing criminal in­ dicated. Judge Costello reviewed the evi­ dence and said that it takes very little force behind one car to cause very serious injuries. “Certainly i have a strong feeling against the man or boy who drives his car recklessly without regard for the safety of others,” His Honor said, but 90 per cent of the accidents are caused by too fast driving. I have come to the conclusion there was no evidence of criminal negli­ gence.” < Evidence was given in the case by Provincial Constable Taylor. William Colquhoun, who with a Mr. Thompson were in the Garon car and by two other hockey players from Clinton, Monteith and who were in a car driven by Fingland. K.C., of Clinton. The case arose out of an dent on highway No. 4, last March 23 when Frank Fingland, K.C., was seriously injured during a bad snow storm. It was alleged by the crown that a car driven by Mr. Gar­ on collided with Mr. Fingland’s car T know what hunger is, Unsatisfied.
