WI Fed. takes over Royal Winter Fair displays
What do you do when you have a
problem in rural Ontario that needs
solving? You approach the
Women’s Institute to see whether
with their years of experience and
diversity of talent something can be
done.
That's exactly what the Royal
Winter Fair has done for this year's
Fair. The Federated Women's
Institutes of Ontario (FWIO), at
their August Board Meeting in
Guelph decided to accept the offer
of the Royal Winter Fair to look
after the Country Craft Section.
This will feature WI members
demonstrating and displaying a
variety of Craft work that arc done
by the rural women of Ontario,
from the traditional to the unusual.
As well the FWIO is hosting
Women's Day at the Royal. For
many years the Royal Winter Fair
has featured and hosted various
other groups, but when FWIO
President Peggy Knapp pointed out
that 50 per cent of the population
was ignored, the Royal Winter Fair
was happy to give FWIO the
opportunity to host the event. All
NTA approves railway sale
the details of Women’s Day have
not been finalized but it will lake
place on November 7.
Among the other new activities
planned by FWIO is the start of a
series of week long courses titled
Personal Growth and Renewal.
These are modelled after the highly
successful Denman College
Courses in England, where the
English WI have a year round
college devoted to giving a variety
of courses ranging form Computer
Training to Flower Arranging. The
first two courses in Ontario to run
early next year will be on Musical
Appreciation and Battenburg Lace,
and will take place at Crieff Hills
Centre, near Guelph. This is
another example of FWIO seeing a
need and responding to it.

Youth pleads guilty to assault
A pre-sentence report will be pre
pared before a Brussels-area man is
sentenced for an assault that took
place at a party following a school
dance in May.
Steven L. Michie, 19, R.R.5,
Brussels pleaded guilty to assault
causing bodily harm when he
appeared in Ontario Provincial
Court, Criminal Division in Wing
Rail to the Goderich-Exeter Rail
way Co., the Ontario division of
the U.S.-based RailTex Inc. of San
Antonio, Texas. RailTex purchased
the lines from CN last September
for $4 million but has spent nearly
a year getting approval to eperate
from the NTA.
A spokesperson for CN Rail said
the company still has two outstand
ham Wednesday.
The court was told that Mr.
Michie and Mark Fraser were both
attending a party in Howick town
ship following a high school dance
on May 26. Both had been consum
ing alcohol. About 1:45 a.m. an
argument developed between the
two over a pair of shoes. Mr.
Michie punched Mr. Fraser in the
head, knocking him to the ground.
ing matters standing in the way of
completing the sale. One, a formal
ity, is to receive an Order-in-Coun-
cil from the federal cabinet because
a Crown Corporation is making the
sale. The other condition to be met
is approval from the Ontario
Municipal Board. RailTex had
originally hoped to be hauling
freight on the line by last April 1.
Mr. Michie then got on top of Mr.
Fraser and struck him more times
around the head.
Mr. Fraser was taken to hospital
where he was kept for two days for
observation and treatment.
Judge. R. G. E. Hunter set Oct.
18 for sentencing after Mr.

Man gets suspended sentence
A man was given a suspended
sentence and 12 months probation
in Ontario Court, Criminal Division
after a pre-sentence report blamed
bad book keeping for the bad
cheques he had been passing.
Judge R. G. E. Hunter was told
that Chris Anson hadn't meant to
defraud anyone in the one charge of
fraud and nine charges of false pre
tenses. Money had been coming
into and out of the bank account he
wrote the cheques on but there was
no money in the account at the time
the cheques were cashed. Acting
Crown Attorney Dick Lockwood
withdrew al but one of the charges
against Mr. Anson. On that occa
sion, Mr. Anson had issued a
cheque for $42.43 to Ball Macaulay
in Clinton but when the cheque was
returned from the bank for non-suf
ficient funds, the company turned
the cheque over to police. Restitu
tion has since been made.
Alan Mill, lawyer for the defen
dant, said Mr. Anson suffers from
epilepsy and has difficulty holding
a job be cause of it. He is currently
unemployed.
Judge Hunter gave the suspended
sentence and put Mr. Anson on 12
months probation.
