EXETER, ONTARIO, MAY 28, 1964 Price Per Copy 10 Cents HAY OKAYS ZURICH ADDITION An area Man was sentenced to six weeks in jail for common assault in Exeter court, Tees, elaYf and his "victim" received a stiff reprimand from megise trate Glenn Hays, Q.C. William D, Schroeder, 24, 2 Centralia had initially been charged with indecent ese sault and a preliminary hearing had been started on the case before the charge was reduced and the court ease proceeded. He has previonSlY faced the court on charges of assault break, enter and theft, and none tributing to child delinquency. After lietening to Miss San- dra Norton, g2, Toronto, de- scribe details of the attack and the events preceding it, the magistrate told the girl she asked for what she got by as- sociating with people whom she did not know. He said the way she carried on with her drinking and danc- ing may have led persons to believe she was an "easy mark“. She was told her conduct was like carrying a match around inflammable material and that this free and easy way of life can bring a lot of heartaches and trouble. Magietrate Hays pointed out her conduct may have influenced Sehroeder and contributed to what happened to her, The charge against Sch- roeder, who was defended by Jim Donnelley, Goderich, arose from an incident at Grand Bend over the Victoria holiday week- end. Miss Norton gave the court a detailed account of her move- ments from the time of arriving in Grand Bend until she got into the car of the accused and was driven out in the country where she claimed she was assaulted. Her evidence revealed she had made the rounds of various hotels and motels in company with friends, although she did not know the surnames of any except one girl. The other companions were all men. Attains degree Donald Leo O'Rourke, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dennis O'Rourke, RR 3 Dashwood, has success- fully completed the fourth year of honors French and Latin at Christ the King College,Lon- don. He graduates with te de- gree of Bachelor of Arts at convocation at UWO today.

He thinks the gPVernnieut should gain control of more of the shorelines of the Great bakes. 2, He thinks the Red Ensign should he chosen as CanadeS flag, In regard to his first opinion, the former attorney general said he felt it important that the Ontario government should continue its policy of land acqui- sition along the lakes for re- creation purposes to serve the people in coming years. ((I'm impressed with the need to gain control of as much of it as possible," he stated during an informal, talk at a dinner held in Grand Bend prior to his tour of Ipperwash and Pinery pro- vincial parks. He added that care would be taken not to infringe upon any citizen's rights in the acquisi- tion of the land — especially that owned by the Indians. One of the many guests at the dinner was Chief Adams of the Sarnia Indian reserve. WANTS ENSIGN Roberts was even more set in his opinion regarding the current debate over a national flag. "There's no question where I stand," he stated, in voicing his opinion that the Red Ensign should become designated as the official flag. He added that he felt the ma- jority of people in Canada were of the same opinion and would express it if a vote was held on the issue. On Tuesday, Roberts sent out letters supporting the Red En- sign. It showed a picture of a group of Canadian soldier s marking a Dominion Day cele- bration while occupying part of France on July 1, 1944. They were marching past a Red Ensign. He noted that when the chips were down and blood, sweat and tears had been the price, the Red Ensign was the banner car- ried by the Canadian soldiers. Present at the banquet were several officials of the depart- ment of lands and forests, area municipal officials and Murray Gaunt, Huron-Bruce MPP, who told the Minister he was indeed happy with the new park being developed at Goderich. Two women drivers hit in rear by males DOCTOR EXAMINED Dr. E. A. McMaster testified he examined the girl after the assault and found she was very nervous and said there were positive evidences that she had been indecently assaulted. There were also bruises on her head, face and arm, which she claimed had been as a re- sult of Schroeder's actions. In his address to the girl, Magistrate Hays noted she may have been struck by Schroeder to bring her out of her hysteria, although he was of the opinion that he struck her to reduce her resistance to follow up with his intentions. sociation, the inspector indi- cated it was the intention of the department of education to have students in each township at- tending the school closest to their homes. This information was gleaned from a speech at the event by R. J. McNaughton, assistant superintendent of elementary education. tamed by the car he was driving, OPP Constable John Wright said a passing motorist found McLeod in his car just off the highway. Queen's grad Beverley H. Lindsey, 213 Car- ling Street, Exeter, received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Queen's University, King- ston, Saturday. He completed his degree extramurally and also completed his second year of theology at Huron College, London, this year. Hay Township school area board decided Tuesday to pro- ceed with plans for a two-room addition and an auditorium for their school at Zurich. They hope to have the addition ready for September opening. This is the first stage of putting all township pupils under a graded school system, and projected plans call for an ad- dition of a similar size for the Hensall Public School. However, probably no action will be taken in regard to this until the new legislation affect- ing township school boards comes into effect on January 1. At that time, all, the schools in the township — Inc I u ding More dredging approved at GB Dean Construction Ltd., Windsor, has been authorized by the federal department of public works to remove an additional 500 yards of material from the Ausable River mouth at the re- sort. Dredging will take place east- erly, along the lis herrn en's docks on the south side of the river, The intention is to give the fishing fleet a six-foot depth in which to operate. This action follows a visit by Walter Foy, Lambton- West MP, on Sunday, May 10. At that time he viewed the site and became aware of the necessity for ac- tion. SOME FROM STANLEY The Hay board also agreed on Tuesday to temporarily ac- cept students from Union 9 in Stanley on a cost-per-day ba- sis. The Stanley section board made the request due to the fact their school is no longer serviceable and they do not feel it wise to spend any money in repairs on the basis of the new legislation which will put their section under the control of one Stanley board next year. The Hay board also approved selling the land and buildings at the already vacant schools at No. 12 on the 14th concession and No. 8 north of Dashwood. They will also offer for sale by public auction the lands at No. 11 on the Bluewater highway. The auction sale of these pro- perties is slated for Saturday, June 20. Hensall — will fall under the jurisdiction of the one board. The township board will ap- proach the council at Zurich in an effort to have the road closed in front of the Zurich school to enable the present plans for expansion to proceed. They hope to receive an okay on this at the council meeting next week. Area public school inspector, Gil Burrows, said he hopes as many of the township students as possible would be transport- ed to Zurich if the addition is ready by September. "It's my hope they'll accom- modate as many as p o s sible from the rural schools," he stated. After the new board is set up at the first of the year, and the proposed addition at Hensall is completed, the students from the entire township would be at- tending either Hensall or Zur- ich. Burrows indicated some of the students would be re- assigned from Zurich to Hen- sail, so they would be attending the school closest to their home wherever possible.
