Defence lawyer Mackenzie called on Brintnell as the first witness for the defence. When asked whether the statement that had been read in court was the one that he had signed, Brintnell stated that there were a few things miss- ing. Brintnell mentioned the fact that Constable Grieve had read into the first statement that he had not touched any of the eggs but that it did not appear in the court statement. However, in cross-examina- tion by Donnelly, it was not made clear whether Brintnell had inserted this in his state- ment or whether he had men- tioned it in reply to questioning by the constable. Brintnell also stated in his own behalf that he was only going along to "help the boa get the eggs". He replied to questioning that the juvenile had come to his place looking for a hen to hatch the eggs for him. "I said I didn't want any of the eggs and I told him he could have them all". In cross-examination, Donnel- ly questioned: "When you went out there with the boy you knew you were going to take the eggs hut you were only going to help", "Yes". "You say that although you went with him to get the eggs it was your intention to let him have them all". "Yes". Donnelly then cited the last line of the statement in which Brintnell had said that he was going to let the birds go back to the wild once they were able, The prosecutor stated: "The last line of that statement indi- cates to me that you were going to show some care and control over the eggs and that it was going to be your decision, is that right?" "Yes". Mrs, Brintnell testified that the juvenile had come around to their residence after the first leeeeeteeireeereebeilkelelaatemieWierealM The story in 5airsisicir\v Sy MRS.

Megistrate'e remarks Said Magistrate Hays; useful purpose can be served Whether the physical Act 'Oak-1:;'Y me 1.11 trying to eXPlore ing the eggs from the nest). was done by Mr, Brintnell or the juvenile".. "Under the party section .of the Criminal Code .any person is liable to prosecution if he aids or a betts the actual party in doing. the deed, Here Mr. Brintnell said he went to help the boy and in so doing he is a party to the act". • "My reasoning that the boy was the more active party stems from the fact that he felt no compunction to give part of the payment for the eggs to Mr. Brintnell", In dealing with the actual loss of the eggs, the magistrate re- marked; "It's a wonderful thing to see these birds around and it's people like the Fran- cis' who raise the birds and let them go who bring a nicety to life and those who deplete the nests defeat the work of the naturalists". Hays also stated that he thought "Brintnell hardly put his best foot forward when he stated that he was going to let the birds return to the wild once they were able", ' "It seems an elementary comment that if he intended that the ducks should go back to nature why didn't h e leave the nest alone in the first place?" "There could be no better judge as to '.'here to raise the ducks than the mother", — Continued from page 1. To make the five runs safe for youngsters, they have been constructed in the form of bob- sled runs with the snow bank- ed on each side so the tobog- gans can not jump out of the All the trees that • are near the runs are padded with bales of straw so that if one should run away, there would he no chance of serious injury due to a collision with a tree. Eusy without advertising Although the dep't did not extensively advertise the open- ing of their rink last winter, the popular spot still attract. ed over 2,500 persons, bringing the total number of persons who used all the park facilities to 6,246, Myers reported that work- men didn't start building the rink until December 16, but it was in operation shortly after Christmas. The rink, located beside the Riverside camp office and the new Pinery store, measures 75'x175', making it one of the largest ice surfaces in the area. There is a short one-foot board fence around the area and it is floodlit every night of of -he week until midnight. The rink is also open seven days a week and Myers report- ed that it attracted several skating parties last year, with persons coming from as far away at Chatham, Hamilton, Windsor, Detroit and Sarnia. "Many of them caine by bus load," lie stated. He reported that the most popular times were Friday and Saturday night and Wednesday and Sunday afternoons. Warm change rooms The Riverside camp office is cleared in the winter and it is used as a change room by the skaters and it is heated throughout the winter. The same facilities are of- fered for the skiers and those who toboggan as there is a heated chalet at the hills which are located just a short dis- tance from the main gate. The ski chalet has a rack for clothes and skis and those not on the hills may sit down in the warm building and watch the action outside William jetnee Rey, ”„ Zur- ich“ died in South Huron lios, pitel on Saturday, August 11, having been a. patlent for the past two and a half weeks, He was a landscape gardener ,440.resided.

Visits Scotland after 11 years Mrs. William Higgins, An- drew St., returned to her home Saturday after a month's visit with her five brothers and a sister in Paisley, Scotland, It is 11 years since Mrs. Higgins visited her home town and she found many changes. It has built up considerably since she last saw it, so much so, that she said "I almost got lost". It was quite cool and wet there compared with the hot dry weather when she left Exeter. Pinery through the windows In the hut. "Many people bring hot cof- fee and sandwiches and eat in the two buildings," Myers stat- ed, "and some even cook in- side on the stoves or build a fire outside," The sup't reported that he expected the new concession at the Pinery would be open this winter to serve coffee and hot chocolate, Rules enforced Safety precautions are strict- ly enforced at both popular locations and the beginners' ski hill is inspected by the park crew each day and any debris or twigs that may have been left from the day before are cleared away. At the rink, where as many as 130 skaters have been on at one time, no games or hockey are allowed. A park ranger is on hand during the day at both spots to supervise the use of the Myers reported that no charge was made for the use of the facilities or entry to the park last year, but stated that a nominal charge may be made this year to cover the additional cost of the tows and the time of the extra help that has to be hired to look after the bills and the rink. Accommodation available With the opening of the park winter facilities, Grand Bend businessmen have also extend- ed their operations to cater to the persons visiting in the area during the winter. All the hotels remain open throughout the year as do most of the motels and restaurants. Some of the hotels still pro- vide nightly or weekend enter- tainment to give the area a complete winter resort atmos- phere. The local grocery stores, garages and shops are also open to cater to the ever- increasing number of people who are making the area their centre for winter vacations at cottages. So, while Grand Bend still maintains its title as "Ontario's Favorite Summer Resort", it is now competing with Northern Ontario centres for its share of the winter vacationers. Acquit man in accident '`,1'we. drivers Were convicted and one aegnitted when three careless driving, charges were heard, in, magistrate's court here Tuesday. Two of the charges d e ta t .ceostiuslttretdictiofrnornProTecceti; On No, 4 highway near Cent- ralia. William Pearce, 79, Exeter, was ,aequited when his lawyer, 1eintneed,r D. Bell, QC, raised a doubt in the mind of the co4rt as to how the accident hap. The Pearce car was found by OPP Constable Harry Reid in the middle of a construction Project after it apparently had mariesa, sed the detour around the The front of the Pearce ve- hicle was battered quite exten- sively and the wrecked detour sign indicated to the Crown Attorney, W. G. Cochrane, that the car had come smashing through the sign from the high- way. However, Pearce had come to rest within two or three feet of a construction crew truck which was parked about six feet away from a large open- ing in the ground. Bell contended that the crown took only the one pos- sibility but that the front of the Pearce vehicle could have been smashed because of the truck backing into it, In handing down his decision, Magistrate Hays admitted that "I may think that the defence counsel's theory is less likely than the crown's but even though I do I cannot discount it." "It may well be in dismiss- ing the case that the truth is being denied but the court must always take into consider- ation what it might consider to be worthwhile explanation," "Therefore, I am dismissing the case." Levies nominal fine Magistrate Hays levied a nominal fine of $10 against Clayton King, Sault Ste. Marie, after he was convicted of careless driving. Mr. King was driving a Volkswagen bus north on No, 4 and flipped it while going through one of the detours south of town, Mr. King stated that he had been proceeding at about 35 miles per hour, failed to see a 5 mph sign along the highway, and suddenly came upon the detour. When he applied his brakes, he reported that he felt the car "give to the right and she turned over as we went through the detour." After the accident it was noticed that the rear axle of the vehicle had snapped and defence counsel Bell contended that this is what made the car flip over, resulting in the ac- cident. Constable Don 'Westover of the local OPP detachment, who investigated, told the court that there were some 14 signs warning of the detour, begin- ning at a distance of one-half mile from the work. King admitted that he had seen some of the signs but could not recall how many. After learning that Xing had been unable to work for four weeks after the accident and that he would have to replace the demolished vehicle, Magis- trate Hays said: "You have suffered quite a bit already. About all I can do is to take into consideration the fact that you didn't injure anyone else." Parkhill driver pays William H. Mathers, Park- hill, was fined $25 when con- victed of a careless driving charge that arose out of an accident on Highway 83.

The architects on the job were Riddle and O'Connor, of London and Sarnia. The addition at the school in- cludes a new office for principal Wilf MaeNaughton, a kindergar- ten class and one other room that is expected to be used by grades two and three, Mrs. Lawrence Mason and her energetic young kindergar- ten scholars will have a spacious 22' x 50' room for their activities when they move in following three years stay in the base. ment of the adjacent Church of God basement. Containing the latest in the concepts of kindergarten MOMS it has a spacious cupboard area and each child will have an in- dividual shelf for clothes and shoes. A separate entrance from their room gives them access to the playing field without dis- turbing other classes and there are also adjoining wash room facilities built to the specifica- tions of the small frv, The brightly nainted room has a large wall diselay rack run- ning along the full width of one side and the other is made up BC missionary speaks to school Dr. B. Whiting, a medical missionary at Witinch Hospital, Hazelton, B.C., addressed the open session of the Main Street TJnited Church Sunday School Sunday morning and showed pictures of the hospital, the community and his work there. Dr, and Mrs. Whiting, Helen and Billie are on 'furlough for five months and are visiting at the home of Mrs. Whiting's father, W. C. Pearce. Anne St. This week, Mr, and Mrs. Whit- ing are in Perth telling of the work at the United Church hospital, Superintendent Don Wilson nresided for the session which ninny neople from the district attended. "It's unbelievable, Ethel —1 just jacked the car up and the Zia itixed of windows, Most of the front of the room is also equipped with display racks, while there is one small section of blackboard, A circle of red tiles in the centre sets this section off from the surrounding lighter tile to facilitate the teacher to conduct round games with the students, Buy piano The P,S. board will purchase a new piano for the room and they will also have a music box, The second class room which will probably facilitate the grades two and three students of Mrs. Willis Gill, is decorated similarly to the existing rooms and is on the south east corner of the building. It is 22' x 34' and also con- tains coat racks and ample cup- board and blackboard space. The two new classrooms are separated by an eight and a half foot hall which extends from the hall in the old section to a -door at the south, The two sections are separat- ed by a fire wall. The principal's new office is 14' x 22' and contains a private washroom and will alleviate the crowded conditions Mr. MacNaughton had to contend with in the past. Install alarm system A new fire alarm system has been installed throughout the entire school building with switches located at several con- venient locations along the hall. While the old building did not have an alarm system, it had to be installed before approval would he given by government officials for the addition. The furnace in the basement has also been enlarged to serve the new section, The addition will now mean that all the students will be in the same building and only one class will be conducted in the basement, where there were two before. Principal MacNaughton re- ported the vacant room would be used as a music room and would possibly facilitate early arrivers during inclement we a then. He reported he did not know how many children would be entering school after Labor Day, but said he expected the usual 250. He pointed out the numbers would hinge on the departure date of the army from Camp Ipnerwash. The principal also nointed out that the classes had not been divided as yet, and would not be done until students regis- tered. He said that with the number of transient families in the vil- lage, it was difficult to know how many students there would he in each grade until they reg- istered on opening day.
