in the accused's mind that nn,
less he co-operated he would be
charged,,,
However, t e magistrate,
after careful -consideration, de-
cided that the words "were not
an inducement or a threat but
were given as a warning to the
defendant over the seriousness
of the situation",
Brintnell'e statement
Included in the statement
were the sentences "-
(the juvenile asked me if I
would help him pick up the
eggs",
"I watched him as he picked
up the eggs and put them in the
the eggs hatched on, my
farm I was going to let them
go back to the wild once they
were able".
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

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",

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

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.

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.

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

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.
