Glenn Hays, heard two contested cases in Exeter court, Tuesday, and found both accused guilty. Michael Eckert, Dublin, was fined $15 and court costs of $Z.50 when the magistrate ruled he had made a left turn when it was not safe to do so on High- way 4 on. September '7. Eckert had been charged after the school bus he had been driv- ing for a Seaforth firm was hit from behind by a car driven by Bruce Walters, St, Thomas. Walters testified he put on his car signal lights indicating he was going to pass, but as he was passing, the bus driver turned on his signal lights and at the same instant started his turn. Damage to the car was listed at $500. Eckert told the court he had put his signal lights on some 200 feet before reaching the in- tersection at which he planned to turn. E. D. Bell, Q.C. representing the accused, pointed out he could find no evidence where the school bus driver was at fault and also brought out the point that it is illegal to pass within 100 feet of an intersection. "Whether he signalled or not is not the issue before me," Magis- trate Hays explained in handing down his verdict. He said the bus driver should have seen the car behind him and noted that the act of turning on a signal light does not always assure safety in making a turn. In the other case, Marlene Wilcox, RR 1 Crediton, was fined $15 and costs for failing to yield the right of way on July 15. She was involved in an accident when she attempted to make aU- turn on the Mt. Carmel Road to drive back the concession road from where she had just been driving.

About one year ago, judges Warren ZUrbrigg, Clifford and Howard Armstrong, Seaforth, ex- amined the farms of those who were entered. These farms were re-examined early in September of this year to see what improve- Earl Allen, 49 dies out West Earl Allen, second youngest son of Mrs. George C. Allen, Exeter and the late George C.

"No two leaves ate, exactly alike!" turn, she was hit broadside by a Car driven by William Scott, Lon- don. Damage in the accident was estimated at $3,000. Mrs. Wilcox reported she had Stopped at, the intersection and after seeing the Scott car about one-quarter of a mile away, thought she had time to make a U -turn. Mr. Hays remarked that the Scott car must have been a great deal closer than Mrs. Wilcox had estimated -- in fact, so close as to make an immediate hazard by anyone entering the highway, es- pecially to make a U-turn. The Crediton area lady was represented in court by Peter L. Raymond. Fine driver for assault A London man was fined $250 or two months in jail in London court, Thursday, after an Exeter youth testified the man beat him and ruptured his eardrum during an argument over driving court- esy. Laverne Richard Swallowell, of 838 Lovett St., pleaded guilty to a charge of assault occasioning bodily harm. He told Magistrate E.H.A. Car- son he lost his temper when a car driven by Peter Stenabaugh, 19, turned right off Talbot Street onto King Street, crossed three lanes of traffic and cut him off. Swallowell followed Stena- baugh's car to the third level of the market-parking bu tiding where the assault occurred.

The campaign chairmen in this area outlined some of the services made possible for Huron County blind persons through local gifts to this campaign. Mr. V. M. Pyette, Hensall, commented on the CNIB resi- dence c e ntr e; "Tweedsmuir Hall, London, CNIB's general service centre for the four counties of Huron, Elgin, Middle- sex and Perth, provides accom- modation for those needing res- idential care. There they may exchange ideas with other blind persons, take part in a recreation program designed for their special needs, and enjoy the safety and security of protective gates at stair tops, raised identif- ication signs on doors and other special aids." "Those remaining here at home are making use of the CNIB library with its recorded and Braille books on a variety of subjects from Perry Mason to space travel" said Mrs. H.J. Klumpp, chairman for Dashwood. "L istening readers select their own books from a descrip- tive catalogue sent out from the Toronto based library and thus enjoy books of their own choice, just as their sighted neighbors do through the local library." Mrs. Alvin Finkbeiner, Cred- iton chairman, revealed that "others are learning crafts and the use of the white cane through the guidance of the CNIB Home Teacher, blind herself. CNIB's prevention program arranges eye examinations and professional treatment for those in danger of losing their sight." The three chairmen urged the citizens to watch for the letter or canvass appeal in their district. Through this effort all persons in these communities will have a share in service to the blind of the area. HELPED HIM Myrtle Vodden once canvassed for The Canadian National In- stitute for the Blind, not know- ing that some day her husband would need CNIB services. But thanks to this contact with CNIB, Harry Vodden knew what to do when he became partially sight- ed last December. His first CNIB contact was with a friend on the CNIB Ad- visory Board in Blyth. The board member got in touch with the local office in London and soon the Field Secretary called on the Voddens. Right now the CNIB has two services of interest to Harry. A home teacher will show him how to work with his hands on crafts and Braille without using his eyesight. An avid card play- er, Harry is looking forward to using cards with Braille sym- bols. Travel training will be im- portant to Harry who has had difficulty with stairs and curbs. With proper use of his new fibre- glass cane, he will not be trip- ping and falling. The cane will do the work his eyes used to do. A TV technician by trade, Harry is signing up for CNIB tape talking book service which will include books on electronics. He will have a machine in his home which is specially designed for the metal cased tape record- ings. Harry is relying on these ser- vices and many more in the fu- ture, to continue being an active Large Assortment TULIP BULBS including Centennial Tulip Hyacinth and Narcissus REDER'S FLORIST • We would like to thank all the people who loaned wooden shoes and he (pod to decorate our float.
