I arrived to find. the patient -deatL
Crown Attorney Glenn Hayes, of
Goaerieh, ordered a post alorteln„
on the body on Wednesday morn-
ing, at which Government Pothole-
gist, 1)r, J. L. Penistan, of Strat-
ford. was present, tar, Peniatalt is
(paned as saying that he "believed
there was an unidentified poison in
the body," following the post
mortem.
Contents of the stomach were
sent to Toronto on Thursday for
analysis, but no report on the find.,
ings is expected back until Wed-
nesday. Pollee are continuing their
investigation of the ease, but ex,
peet to have nobblg definite to re-
port until laboratory tests in Tor-
onto are completed,
While police declined to say
whether, in 'their opinion, the
poisoning was the result of an ac-
cident, it is thought that they may
be working on the theory that a
"combination of circumstances"
may have been responsible for the
tragic death. Further details are
expected to be revealed at an in-
quest.

Fuller and Roy Bennett, informed
council that plans for a four-room
addition to the public schoel had
progressed to the point where
the council's approval of a by-law
debenture was needed, Cost of the
ACW addition is estimated to be hi
the neighborhood. of $80,000, with
the department of .utitieetion ap-
proving expenditures up to this
amount, Mr. Reid told council that,
the department would make grants
up to. 44% of tkig total, leaving
50% or an amount of $44,520 to be
debentured by the town: The total
amount of $80,000 , would cover
complete cost of the new addition,
including furnishings, he said.
Mr, Reid told the council that
the board had been advised that
the present heating system would
suffice four additional rooms, and.
that the electrical system would
also be adequate. At one time there
had been some doubt as to the
capacity of the heating system, in
view of the fact that it had origin-
ally been designed for eight rooms,
instead of the projected sixteen
rooms now being planned.
Mr. iVreKinney assured repre-
sentatives " of the heard that the
matter • of drawing up a by-law
necessary to finance the new struc-
ture would be attended to as soon
as possible,
Herb Fuller, a member of the
school deputation, stayed behind
after the discussion to ask the
the 'Council's permission to make
a parking lot, east of the Berry
Door factory on town property,
Council -agreed to this proposal.
May Conduct Tax Sale
Possibility that a tax Sale may
be held in town in the near future
was discussed by council after
Town Clerk W. A, 'Galbraith pre-
sented a list of taxes in arrears
amounting to $14,280. Of this
Amount $583.10 represents taxes in
arrears since 1953, or before, Mr.
Galbraith -told the Council,
Council decided to get legal ad-
vice on the procedure necessary
for a tax sale, and to proceed with
the matter as soon as details arc
obtained.

MEN OF ST. PAUL'S
CONDUCT SERVICE
Last Sunday morning the men
of St. Paul's Anglican Church
conducted a most• inspiring
"Brotherhood Service." H. ,A,,
Fuller, president of the, Brother-,
hood of Anglican 'Churchmen in
St. Paul's and in the Deanery of
Huron read the service of Morn-.
ing Prayer. The Scripture lesson
was read by Mel. Keating.
The guest preacher was Fred
Leaver of St. Paul's Church,
Point Edward. Taking ,as his text
I Samuel 10:26 the preachet be-
gan by showing how God touched
the •hearts of the men who had
gone with Saul, and how He lidd
touched the hearts of the apostolic
band.:. "God still touches the
hearts of men," the speaker„ de-
clared, for in 1951 ,at a gathering
of 200 laymen of ::the Anglican
Church in. Windsor, Ontario, God
touched their hearts to form the
Brotherhood of Anglican Church-
men, At first limited to the Dio-
cese of Huron, the• organization
has now spread from coast to
coast in -Canada. From that be-
ginning of 200 men, ,5 • years ago
there are now 8,000,-members in
the Diocese of. Huron alone.
Using vivid illustrations .from bth-
experience - in the brotherhood, Mr.
Leaver challenged the men. present.
at the service to be - known as.
Christiiiiis and churchmen by the
people of, the community. Young
men are needed for the ministry
and it is the- task of. the brother-
hood to find .their • and make it:
possible for them to complete
their studies. "Teen-age boys: bAye
been drifting from the church, so
it is up to the men to bring them
into closer fellowship with Jesus.
Christ," said the speaker,
Welcomed to the service , and
occupying the front pews in the
nave were five laymen from the
Lambton Deanery Chapter of the
Brotherhood who had left Sarnia:"
and Point Edward, dt 7.30 am, in
order to take art in the local
service.
Following the spryice,a iunp
I
eon
was served in• the Parish room
where the local men were 'able to,
meet and chat with the Lambton
guests, Following the meal Mr,
Leaver introduced the -visitors,
spoke of their experiences in the
Anglican Brotherhood. John T. I
Burr, incoming president of the I
Lambton Chapter,. in a short
challenging address placed before
the men the spiritual opportunities
and tasks that God :was. calling
them to undertake, ending his
talk by saying, "May God grant
us His grace to accomplish
Other speakers told of the conver-
sion Of a 'lmedica,1 doctor through,
his contact with members of the
brotherhood aS well as the work
undertaken by the men in their
several parishes and in their
contacts with other men in their
weekday occupations.
