Leonard Noakes, Hensel!, tes- tified the group was jovial but not overly so; there was no signs of drunkenness. The men were not Legion members, he said, but members of a group to which Hensall Legion sells beverages. CpL Erskine, of the identifica- tion branch of the OPP, said the exterior of the car showed no signs or marks of blood, flesh, fibre or anything to indicate it had been in contact with a hu- ma,n being. There was no sign of a struggle. Constable George Mitchell, who investigated the accident, said the breath of both men smelled of alcohol but he saw no sign of impairment. He notic.ed that the car door scraped against the frame when it was opened or closed and it didn't swing too easily. The con- stable said he could not open it by throwing his body against it.

Looking in with Liz Singer BIye Serious Student Here is Hansard's account of the welcome: Mr. H. W. Herridge (Kootenay West): Mr, Speaker, I rise on a question of privilege. On be- half of this group I wish to wel- come the return to the house of our old friend and political enemy, the hon. member for Huron. We trust he will soon be returned to perfect health so that we in this group will have no qualms about hurling our verbal brickbats against him. Mr. W. L. Houck (Niagare Fells): Mr. Speaker, we too on the Liberal side of the house want to say a hearty word of welcome to the hon. member for Huron. We are happy and thank- ful to see that he is sufficiently recovered from his serious ac- cident to take his seat for the first time this session, and we welcome him. Right Hon. J. G. Dieferibaker; (Prime Minister): Mr. Speaker, the hon. gentleman has already been welcomed by members of! the cabinet and myself, and I; am sure this is one of the things he will not forget, namely that! feeling of friendship which pre- vails in this house in its rela- tionship among members te-, gardless of their viewpoint.

Start perk improvement —Continued fromPage 1 up for development. Clerk C. V. Pickard raised the paint that it would be unreason- able to expect those people in other sections of town who would receive no benefit from the :drain to contribute toward its i cost in the same proposition as • those who would benefit. 1 Engineer Ross suggested coun- cilshould consider the precedent it, would establish by placing the , cost on the benefitting land. It was pointed out that none of the other drains in town was financed in that manner. Said Reeve McKenzie: "We would have to issue debentures for the $42,500 and the Ontario !Municipal Board would probably ' demand a hearing before it ap- proved the debentures. If it came to a vote, I doubt if the citizens would pass it," Deputy -Reeve Mawhinney felt the subdivisions should contrib- ute something toward the cost. W. G. Cochrane, town solicitor and member of the PUC, sug- gested that some arrangement could be worked out whereby the town would assume that por- tion of the cost which was re- quired to alleviate the flooding condition in the existing residen- tial section and the balance be derived from the new subdivi- sions as lots are sold from Lhem. This idea met favor. Owners of land on the east side who would probably be affected are Gilbert Dow, Jr., who has from Sanders street north to the river; Fred Darling, Louis Day and Mayor R. E. Pooley, who share the area be- tween Sanders street and Huron streets. For either of the drain proj- ects, the engineer ruled out the possibility of doing the work under the municipal drainage act because he felt the cost en- tailed in determining the benefit to individual landowners in town would offset possible benefits. In his report on the condition of the Anne street drain, the en- gineer revealed that the portion most recently constructed has the lowest capacity of any. The section from William to Carling street, which is made of box culverts 4' wide and 3'9" deep, has a capacity of 141 cfs, and would not require enlarge- ment. The capacity of the area from Main to William, however, has a maximum capacity of only 80 cfs, and the section from the Main street to Andrew street is cut to 66, principally because of one tile which is out of align- ment. The uneven grade of this section probably reduced the capacity to 60 cfs, he estimated. Culvert tile here is 3'9" in diameter. Any new work on the drain should be confined to the area between Andrew and William streets, he suggested. fore he gets an opportunity to, the hon. member for Kootena ARA expects to start a crew of rnen on park improvement at Port Franks within the next week or so/ Roads will be built up, fences erected; parking lots enlarged and boat launching ramp improved, hree form meegeee;;se;;;;eeseeeeseeeeeee.eeeseeee;;eeee.;;;e;;..;;eeeeeeeeeseee say thank you, I want to say t Alen Blyi passed all his exams at Christmas so it looks as if he'll be getting his year at To- ronto U.

A note from announcer Don Cameron tells me that he has just spent "eight hectic. days in Toronto." Don has apartments in both Toronto and New York and commutes. On weekends he comes to Toronto for the Show- time commercials and on Mon- day mornings he records the three Billy O'Connor radio shows for the week. Saturdays and Monday afternoons are usually tied up filming TV commercials. Don ranks high up in the "Joel Aldred Category" as best paid commercial announcer. In New York he has a radio show and also does commercials. Speaking of announcers, Don Parrish of TV's Saturday Date is .doing well in this new (to him) field, Don is a fine singer. He was with the Don Wright chorus on TV for several sea- sons and on radio with the Carl Tapscott singers. He still fills in with Tapscott once in awhile but he doesn't do chorus work on TV any more. "The spon- sors don't like to see their rep- resentative as end man in a chorus," he laughs. He's glad he made the change. "It's a lucrative field and there are so many opportunities once you get started," he sayS. He likes the residuals too. Don has appeared on Cannonball a few times as a boorish bully truck driver.

The event referred to was the erection and dedication of a monument on the lawn of St. Peter's Church, St. Joseph, de- picting Brother Andre "The Mir- acle Man of Montreal" kneeling before the Statue of Saint Jo- seph. Brother Andre, a man of faith unlimited, friend of the afflict- ed, was the inspiration which helped build St. Joseph's Ora- tory in Montreal and spread devotion to St. Joseph. It was stated at the time of the dedica- tion that St. Joseph Oratory had attracted over two million via - tors the previous year, making it ' second to Niagara Falls as Canada's most popular tourist attra.ction. The monument was designed by Joseph Cantiri, now of Holt, Michigan, whose father, Nar- citse Cantu', Was host to the miracle man when he visited the parish in 1917 arid 1922 Duriiig both visits to St. Joseph Brother Andre is report-. ed to have cured a number Of district residents, Protestant and Roman Catholic alike.

The $1,500 monument was pur- chased through donations from parishioners and others in the community. It was sculptured by a Montreal firm.
