EARL LIPPERT TRUCKING LTD. Crediton 234.63n Charged for assault Nine residents of the House of Concord, near Ilderton have been charged with assault causing bodily harm following an assault on another resident, The nine are scheduled to appear in court later this month. Investigation was carried out by Constables W.R. Disher and J.A. Wilson of the Lucan detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police. A resident of the House of Concord, Kevin Frederick McFadden faces charges of break, enter and theft following a breakin Tuesday evening at Colbert's Variety store on High- bury Avenue at Concession 9 in London township, Constable G.J. Barker is in charge of the in- vestigation, During the past two weeks officers of the Lucan detachment have laid 10 charges for snowmobile violations. Com- munity Services Officer Con- stable G.J. Barker said the charges range from "Operating on a highway under the age of 16,'"`Permitting underage drivers on highway", "Expired Permits", "No Helmets" and "No Insurance". Constable Barker commented on the habit of some persons on cleaning out driveways. He continued, "People cleaning driveways are advised not to push or blow snow onto the road. This creates hazards to motorists which could be responsible for a collision." "Section 124 of the Highway Traffic Act reads in part, "Every person who deposits any rubbish, refuse, waste or litter upon, along or adjacent to a highway is guilty of the offence of littering the highway." This offence carries a fine of $28. News from United Church Taking as his sermon theme "An Adequate God for Today", Rev. Cecil Jardineof London, told the congregation at Lucan United Church that if a "mountain" challenges us, we must either climb it, or stay at the base. We should climb the mountain as with God and Christ helping us we are not alone. A child asks "who is God" and this is what we too have to learn with the help of the scriptures, "Seek and ye shall find". He knows each one of us, each hair of our heads and we are each called by God through Jesus Christ who came that we might have life and have it more abundantly. "He, God, Has the Whole World in His Hands" and He sent His Son to be the salvation of the whole world— Yes—He is a God adequate for today. Under the direction of Ray Kooppan the choir sang"Lead Me Lord" by S.S. Wesley. This morning, Thursday, at 9:45 the Inter-Church Women's Prayer and Share Fellowship will meet in the C.E. Wing.

I was certainly not disappointed with what I saw and heard but several words and expressions were such that I couldn't quite understand the meaning or appreciate the significance of them. For example, four words that appeared to be most important were, "beyond a reasonable doubt." What is so important about these four words? Also, can you explain please, what is meant by "jurisdiction"? . . . and is there any special definition of marriage? , Beyond a reasonable doubt, indicates the test or standard of proof that is generally required to convict someone of what he or she was originally alleged to have done in a criminal manner. Jurisdiction equals or confers an authority or power to act on somebody or on some group. For example, certain courts have jurisdiction only in certain geographical areas, (province) and/or over certain subject matters such as criminal or family matters. Marriage is viewed as, "the voluntary union for life of one man and one woman to the exclusion of all others." It is also seen as providing both contract and status rights or duties for the husband and wife. Maybe I've lived a sheltered life, but I am still wonder- ing what exactly is a mortgage? Basically, a mortgage is a document (under seal) which effects the transfer of legal title from the mortgagor (e.g. the house buyer) to the mortgagee who lends the money. The house or property is security for the loan and the mortgagor can "legally" own the property when he pays off the debt — this is, by exer- cising his.right to redeem the mortgage. I just heard about the words "barrister and solicitor" in relation to Canadian lawyers. I thought they were always called attorneys-at-law just like Perry Mason. Am I right? Strictly speaking, American lawyers are attorneys and Can- adian and British lawyers are barristereand solicitors. ' I have worked with my employer for over a year and he still won't give me a paid vacation. Surely the government has done something about this sort of thing. The Employment Standards Act ensures that once a person has worked at least twelve months, he shall have at least two weeks off with pay if entitled to vacation pay benefits. •4 .
