• On Wednesday, March 11, the
Royal Black Knights of Huron
County met for their annual
meeting in Blyth Orange Hall
witlea good attendance.
The County Master, M. W. Sir
Kt. John Henderson of 161
Clinton Preceptory was in charge
of the meeting. After the
opening ceremonies were
finished, the Order of
Appointing the standing
committees was called for and
these were duly appointed by
the County Master.
A short recess was then given
for the committees to give their
reports. All reports were passed
by the County Lodge. The
County Master's address was
given. He had an inspiring
message, speaking of his work
among the different preceptories
and the fine co-operation he had
been given.
The Registrar Sir Kt. William
Taylor and Treasurer, Sir Kt.
Henry Patterson spoke briefly
butsatisfactorily.
A motion was passed that the
County preceptory take a
get-well card from Blyth
Preceptory and have all present
sign it and send it to our highly
honored and badly missed M.
W. Sir, Kt. Walter Scott, D. G.

"Wolf .hearings
held in Toronto
The public hearing of the
Legislative Committee on
Tourism, Wildlife and Fisheries
are widely known as the
"wolf-hearings," This week at
the annual hearings in Toronto
opposing factions advanced
arguments from many points of
view.
Dr. Martin Edwards, President'
of the Federation of Ontario
Naturalists, stated at the
hearings that Ontario has the
unique distinction of possessing
within its boundaries one of the
few areas in North America
-Where large numbers of people
may easily hear timber wolves.
He .urged that the wolf be
recognized as a valuable part of
our wilderness heritage and be
given the same level of
protection as other game
animals. The anachronistic
bountykigiaaishould also be
terminated as' ineffective and
biologically unsound.
In honor of St. Patrick,
beloved by all Irishmen, the
Madeleine Lane Auxiliary of St.
Andrew's Church, held a tea and
bake sale on Saturday, March 14
in the Sunday School room.
Rev. R. U. MacLean officially
opened the tea at three o'clock.
Mrs. Robert Homuth, the
president of the Auxiliary, and
Mrs. R, U. MacLean greeted
guests at the door.
Green was evident
everywhere. Green shamrocks
and black top hats deporated the
walls of the tea room. Chubby
green plastic porkers dangled
from the ceiling on green
ribbons. In one corner of 'the
room a large oval tea table was
covered with a dark green cloth
fringed with white. A spring
bouquet of yellow daffodils
did pussy-willows in a green and
white goblet-type china vase
made a very colorful
centrepiece. White tapers in
crystal holders completed the
table •decor, A dainty
pink-flowered shamrock plant
resplendent in a shiny green top
hat container centred each small
tea table.
In charge of a large display of
homemade baking was Mrs.
Frank Mutch assisted by Mrs. E.
J. (Dick) Jacob, Miss Mabel
Harvey and Mrs. Robert Morgan.
At another booth 12 members
of the Explorer group led by
Mrs. Charles Fee sold homemade
candy.
Mr. and Mrs. Kisoon Park of
Kitchener and their children, a
Korean family, displayed some
lovely handmade Korean dolls.
The profit from the sale of
.these dolls is used to help
orphans in Korea.

The editor:
The editorial in the London
Free Press of Friday, March 5,
regarding the recent vicious
murder in Clinton by a boy only
two months short of 16, is the
first sensible approach which has
yet been shown to this case.
There are certain matters on
which the public should demand
some knowledge. No one is
asking for revenge but we do ask
for adequate punishment, for
justice and equity in the
administration of our laws.
Was the boy in this case tried
and sentenced for stealing or for
murder? From the sentence
imposed it looks like the former.
This same sentence is the same
punishment which can be
handed out for breaking and
entering, for stealing goods from
a store or home. We have a case
where a boy arraigned before
our courts for stealing from his
parents was, without benefit of
legal counsel, sentenced to
Bowmanville Training School.
In the case of the recent
murder I was told the boy only
went in to steal. Well, then what
prevented him? Not Kate
McGregor whom he could have
picked up with one arm, put in a
clothes closet, tied up or
knocked out 'with a single blow
of his fist. He could still have
had the money, gone to his
party and had his fun which he
apparently had.
Why them did "a,' quiet shy
--,boyt;ewith, -,scholasticeelability"
remain < to murder, brutally,
sadistically and with a
viciousness which scarcely bears
thinking of. This was more than
murder. Was it not mutilation?
Was there a psychiatrist in
court to testify to the sanity of
this boy? If not, why not?
Why were there ten witnesses
for the defense and only two for
the prosecution? One of the
latter said and I quote, "He
believed the woman on hearing
an intruder went to the kitchen
Where she took a butcher knife
from a drawer. She then struck
her attacker with the knife to
protect herself and he in turn
took it from her." I thought
conjecture was not allowed in
our courts?
Those of us who knew Miss
McGregor know she never did
any such thing. She was
accustomed to teaching and
handling young people. She
would remonstrate with him
which she had every right to do,
but strike him first with a knife?
— Never.
I have as much right to say
this boy appeared before her,
demanded her money and
attacked her — a conjecture I
suspect much nearer the truth.
A fine upstanding citizen who
never harmed anyone in her life,
was known for her kindly deeds
and good works and who, I
understand, gave employment to
this boy to help him, is lost to
this community by a senseless
and completely unnecessary
,JA crime.
