Enjoy Coke..kectd 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.
