Retired Londoners
Enjoy Fishing At
C oderich Harbor
Feel like you need a bit of zest
in your life? Then the atmos-
phere around Goderich seems to be
just the place to get it.
At least that's what a group of
London men found out last Sat-
urday.
A group of 30 retired London
men- came here for a fishing trip
sponsored by the Life Underwrit-
ers' Association of London and
District.
The group made the trip in
cars provided by the underwriters
and the drive to Goderich was
made in a caravan. - On the way
home, however, each driver set
his own pace, with some leaving
earlier than others.
Arriving here late in the morn-
ing, the group had lunch at the
dock before' going ori tin boats.
They fished from 11.30 a.m. until
3.30 p.m,.
Although not all of them caught
fish, they all found the sunshine
and the fresh water breezes from
Lake Huron gave them new zest
for living.
Oldest fisherman making the
jaunt was 87 -year-old Frank P.
Morton. James T. Morris won the
prize for catching' most fish, with
his catch of five, while Stewart
Ingram caught the largest 'fish.

Dismiss Charges Against Ohio Driver
In • Cases Heard At Long Court Trial
In one of the longest' sessions
of police court here in many weeks,
Magistrate D. E. Holmes, Q.C., last
Thursday disposed et several cases,
most of them driving charges.
Court was started at 10.30 a.m.
in the lower court room, at the
Court House and was adjourned
close to 1 p.m. Resuming again
promptly at 2 p.m., the session ran
through until after 5.30 p.m.
Reason' for the lengthy docket
was that many of the cases had
been adjourned from two and
three weeks previously.
Court was held in the lower
courtroom for the morning and
part of the; afternoon session` be-
cause of the fact that County Court
was in session in the much larger
court room upstairs. During the
afternoon, the higher court finish-
ed its sitting, with the result that
police court was moved to the
more spacious chambers.
Because of the lack of space in
the small downstairs courtroom,
many perspns, both witnesses and
those being charged, had to wait
outside until seats were available
in the courtroom.
Charges Dismissed
Taking up the greater part of
police court was a charge of dang-
erous driving against Edward
George Stack, of Dayton, Ohio,
which was dismissed by the magis-
trate. A charge of careless driv-
ing against the man was also dis-
missed. •
The charge arose out of a col-
lision on No. 21 Highway the night
of June 2 between a car driven
by Stack and a truck driven by
Bruce MacDonald, of Goderich.
A passenger in the Stack vehicle,
Roscoe C. Marah, also of Dayton,
was killed in the crash.
First witness, Bruce MacDonald,
told the court that he had driven
'the truck out from a laneway at
his father's home onto the high-
way. Passengers in the vehicle
were his wife and child and his
father, Robert MacDonald.
The witness said that as he
made a left hand turn onto the
highway he saw a car approach-
ing from the south about one-third
of ' a mile away, He said he was
straightening up the truck on the
right hand side of the road and.
was changing from low to second
gear when the collision occurred.
The right front end of the car
collided with the left rear end
of the truck.
Robert MacDonald, of R.R. 2,
Goderich, said that he also saw
a ' car coming down a hill to the
south before the truck moved. -from
the driveway. He said hecould
not estimate the speed of the on-
coming vehicle.
Skid , Marks
Constable C. , J. Parkinson of the
Goderich detachment, who investi-
gated; said that according to his
measurements, the Stack car skid-
ded 56 feet on a slant to the point
of impact as if it were attempting
to pass the MacDonald vehicle.
Frank Donnelly, Q.C., who re-
presented the Ohio driver, said he
felt there was not sufficient evid-
ence for a conviction. Crown At-
torney H. Glenn Hays, Q.C., main-
tained that since it was a clear
night • and there was no other
traffic on the highway, Stack
should have had ample time- to
see and pass the MacDonald truck.
In giving his decision, Magis-
trate Holrhes said he could not
see a sufficient degree of .neglig-
ence on Stack's part for a convic-
tion. Mr. Donnelly did not call
any defence witnesses.
Charged' as .a result of the ac-
cident also, Bruce MacDonald will
face dangerous and careless driv-
ing charges, but before another
magistrate.
MacDonald's lawyer, B.' A. Rich-
ardson, of Toronto, said he was
quite prepared to elect trial by
a higher-. court since the offence
was an indictable one. Magistrate
Holmes suggested that perhaps
Magistrate Cooke, of Stratford
could hear the case. He adjourn-
ed the hearing until July 16, or a
date sooner if it could be arranged.
