Drinking youth's driving
causes fatality, says jury
.4 coroner's jury Friday in
Clinton was unanimous in its opi-
nion that a two -car collision
which took the life of 61 -year-old
William Joseph Hayter, RR 1
Varna, .May 8, was caused by
careless driving on the part of
Paul Armstead, 26, Goderich,
'while under the influence of al-
cohol.
The jury's verdict, as an-
nounced by Huron County Coro-
ner Dr. N. C. Jackson, Goderich,
who presided, read in part: "We
find that William Joseph Hayter
came to his death, two and a
half miles west of Clinton, due
to injuries received in a two -car
collision, We are unanimous in
our opinion that this accident
was caused by careless driving
on the part of Paul Armstead,
while under the•influence of alco-
hol. We recommendall hills on
black top roads be marked by a
centre white line."
Armstead, who had been ear-
lier charged with careless driving
following the accident is sched-
uled to appear on July 9 in mag-
istrate's court, Clinton,
Asks far arrest
During the early portion of the
six -hour hearing, the patience of
Crown Attorney Glen Hays, Go-
derich, was tried to the extent
that he requested Coroner .Jack-
son to adjourn the inquest to is-
sue a warrant for the arrest of
a witness for contempt of court,
under the Coroners' Act.
When 18 -year-old Raymond
Douglas Mallough, Goderich re-
fused to tell the hearing where
he and Armstead purchased beer
in Clinton just, prior to to the ac-
cident; the. Crownwarned him
that he would have him com-
mitted to jail.
"I don't want any quibbling,"
said Mr. Hays. "A man was
killed, Smarten up or else I 'will
have the coroner put you in jail
until your memory clears."
After an adjournment of at
least five minutes, during which
time the clerk of the court was
typing a warrant for the arrest,
Mallough told the coroner he had
changed his stand and would
talk. He said he was not aware
of the name of the vendor of the
beer, but" that the house where
he bought the 24 -bottle case of
beer was southwest of the CNR
Tracks in Clinton,
- Evidence given by Dr. J. L.
Penistan, provincial pathologist,
Stratford, was that a blood test

Armstead, questioned by Mr.
Hays, said he had been an em•
ployee of the town of Goderich
until recently. He was medically
discharged from the Navy in
1955, after which he spent seven
months in Westminster Hospital,
London, being treated for a ner-
vous disorder. Armstead admit-
ted that he had been guilty on
previous occasions of having
driven recklessly.
When the Crown asked him
how he could explain the fact
that a man was killed, Armstead
replied that he (Armstead) could
have been careless, that he
(Armstead) couldhave been
speeding, or it could have been
"my car's position on the road
over the centre line.”

Queen Elizabeth
Countless books have been;
written about Queen Elizabeth I
but rarely has she been pre-
sented as a woman with so much
perception as the author, Eliza-
beth Jenkins, has done in this
book. The author's aim has been
to paint a personal portrait of.1
the Queen and the 'historical
events are kept to the briefest
outline except where she plays,
a prominent part.
Like the present Queen she en-!
deavored to play her role as'
Queen of England to the best of 1
her ability. Her closest adviser
for most of her reign, Burleigh, 1
said of her, "She was so expert!
in, the knowledge of her realm
and estate as no counsellor she'
had could tell her what she knew
not before."
New light is shown on many
traits of her personality, She
had a great store of physical
energy which stayed with her'
even when she was an old wo-
man. She had a fondness for
children and young people and a.
great love of. flowers. She had a
deep loyalty to those who served
her. When Burleigh was dying
and unable to lift a spoon to his
lips she fed him with her own
hands.
There is 'also ie this book a
description' of the cosmetics
which she used including a lo-
tion for preserving the whiteness
of her skin.

graphy interesting from start to

Stop in time
saves lives
The nation is paying too high
a price for its annual summer
vacation, claims S. W. Arch
Bryce, general manager of the
Canadian Highway Safety Con-
ference.
Recalling that about 1,000 per-
sons were killed and 23,000 in-
jured — many of them maimed
for life — on Canadian Highways
during last year's s u. m m e. r
months, the safety official. stres-
sed that ."the toll would never
have been so high if the involved
tidrivme.ers" had been able to stop in
Mr, Bryce makes the follow-
ing suggestions to motorists who
want to stay alive and let others
live throughout this summer:
1. Leave plenty of space — one
full car length per 10 miles of
speed — between the front bum-
per of your car and the car in
front.
2. Stop driving if you .feel
sleepy or simply .worried.
3. On long trips, stay alert,
stop for relaxation and' coffee
every two hours or so.
4. Be patient in traffic jams,
he courteous towards other
drivers and pedestrians.
Under all circumstances make
sure you can stop in time, Mr.
Bryce strongly advised.

Not every potato is suitable for
potato chips. Important.. factors
for success in growing suitable
potatoes include the amount of
fertilizer used, the ration be-
tween phosphate and potash, spe-
cific gravity reading or dry nia.t-
ter content, Area, variety and
temperature at harvest and in
storage all affect the final chip,
for without a proper combination
of these factors, a good fry is
impossible.
Nowadays, the potato chip is
a $500,000,000 industry. Most of
the Canadian Manufacturing,
plants are located in Ontario,
where consumption of the pro-
duct is now at an all-time high,
averaging four pounds of potato
chips per person last year. Pro-
cessors secure most of their po-
tatoes direct from those Ontario
farmers who give this crop their
specialized attention,
More than a billion pounds of
raw potatoes annually are pro-
cessed into potato chips by
means of modern automatic
peelers, slicers and conkers, at
the rate of over ten pounds of
finished potato chips every
minute.
