Ure Stewart, was in the news this week when a Lon- don paper reported that he. thought retirement a "lousy" state -of affairs. The following day the paper responded to what was apparently a quite decided denial by Mr. Stewart that he had used the word "lousy". What he in- tended to say was that retirement is a "busy" time of life and 'the paper explained quite logically that handwritten copy of the story had been unclear. Mr. Stewart, who will celebrate his -90th birthday within a couple of months, isindeed busy, .for he still preaches for church anniver- saries and was the guest minister at 'a sunrise service at the Se- bringville United 'Church re- cently. He now resides in- Sea - forth. The minister's activity at 90 is "all the mote i•etriarkable ' b,cause he suffered a heart attack 21 years ago. During' his active years in the ministry he served charges in Montana, Napier, Whitechurch, Long Branch, Bel- mont, Rockwood-, Guelph; El- mira, Moorefield, Bright and Ox- ford Centre.

Thursday, Dr. John Shau- nessy of Teeswater was using a saw when he amputated part of .his right thumb. money for having resigned at the minister's request. During the several hours of testimony, Mr. Cauley charged that his secretary was forced to sign an untrue affidavit to i in- criminate him; that Mr. Legge, the Workmen's Compensation Board chairman, had a conflict of interest because his wife was president of a company Which could have been subject to Board decisions; and that the deal worked out with Mr. Bales was with the consent of John Robarts, premier at the time. Mr. Cauley was paid $62,000 be- tween May 1969, and_ August 1971, which was after -he had submitted his resignation on May 12th 1969, and for which he did ho work. He claimed this was the agreement he had worked -out with M. Bales and he was also entitled to accumulated sick leave credits and holidays which he hadn't taken during this 28 years with the Board, Even though the stated reason for quitting, given in his letter of resignation, was ill health, he produced Workmen's Compensa- tion Board recbrda to show he had not missed a day in 1969. • Premier William Davis has promised he will decide within a week whether to set up a Royal Commission inquiry or a judicial inquiry into the operation of the Workmen's Compensation Board, and specifically the-, Cauley matter-. The premier also made a state- ment this week with respect to the use of government aircraft by cabinet ministers. In essence, he said there would be no change in policy, and ministers including himself, would continue to use the aircraft for work purposes even though part of the tithe was taken as a holiday.
