two charges of gas theft, one at
Arthur and one at Orangeville.
G. Schafer of Kitchener, Mr.
Metzloff’s lawyer pointed to the
presentence report in telling Judge
R. G. E. Hunter that Mr. Metzloff
had emotional problems in part due
to his handicap of Muscular Dys
trophy. He pointed out that all the
offences were property related and
the public was not endangered.
The central problem had been well
addressed by the probation officer
in the presentence report, he said,
in the lack of direction in Mr.
Metzloff’s life. The latest episodes
(he also has a lengthy criminal
record) were triggered by the break

up of a relationship with his girl
friend, Mr. Schafer said. He point
ed out that Mr. Metzloff had been
in custody since Feb. 19 and said
that with the time already served,
he felt a sentence of 12 to 15
months should be considered.
Acting crown attorney Alan Mill
said this was an unusual problem
and felt that the need for a sense of
direction for Mr. Metzloff could be
better met in reformatory than
penitentiary. He felt a mid-to-
upper-range reformatory sentence
was in order.
Judge Hunter said he took into
account the guilty pleas and the
co-operation with police and the
time already spent in jail in
determining the sentence. But, he
told Mr. Metzloff, “I might say
that this is the low end of the scale.
If you come back again you’ll likely
be looking at a penitentiary sen
tence. We reach a point where we
have to be more concerned with
protecting society than we are with
you and we are fast reaching that
point.”r
