HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Goderich Signal-Star, 1955-03-03, Page 3George Weyer is' one of Canada's funniest cartoonists—as his goofy
drawings which appear in many national .publications will attest. But
on television, it was_ discovered that Feyer was also Granada's fastest,
cartoonist. He has the almost unique talent' of being able to draw so
quickly that he can . illustrate a story while it's being told. This
brought about the CBC -TV children's show "Telestory Time," in which
Pat Patterson tells a quaint little fable while at his drawing board
Feyer scratches away at a furious clipand makes the story even more
colorful with his zany pictures. That's a portrait of Feyer, by Feyer,
which Feyer is holding.

trate said that the 'evidence clear-
ly disclosed that the' cheque -peas -

cheques had been written there.
He also said that he disbelieved
Elliott's evidence.
Two Dismissed
Graham was found not guilty of
the Port .Albert charge when the
magistrate said that on the evid-
ence there was sufficient doubt
that the accused. had ::been there
when the cheque was cashed. Dis-
missing the Sa•1tfogd charge, the
magistrate said that although Gra-
ham was present, he did not seem
to have participated very heavily
in this event.
The three men were charged as
the result of a two-day cheque
passing spree early last month.
Investigation was made by Pro=
vin,oial Constable Harold Highton,
Goderich destachment.
1Graham a'l,so faees a change of

mitted at Goderich on February 15.
Hearing of this was adjourned un-
til today.
Woman Charged
Charged in connection with the
same alleged offence, Olivia May
Blackhall, Sarnia, pleaded pot
guilty. Following the evidence,
the magistrate reserved his de-
cision until' today.
A. M. LeClair, Bank of Montreal

�n ta� ' in "Goderich,
accou t
u
court that Miss Blackhall entered
the bank . with Graham and the
two told him they wanted' to cash
a cheque on Miss Blackhall's ac-
count at the Bank of Commerce in
Sarnia. He `vias told by the two
he could phone Sarnia, and the
phone call revealed that the wo-
man had no account at the, ,iasn:'k.
He said, the woman appeared to
have been drunk. He tore up the
cheque.

at the Sarnia bank, verified that Foley, in Goderieh during the past

consecutively for a, total of" :'14
months.
The offences were alleged •, to
have . been committed atClinton,
Blyth, Kingsbridge, Gederiela Salts
ford and Part Albert.
Wilfred Graham, charged ayldng
with McHardy in connection with
bad cheques passed at Blyth, Part
Albert, Kingsbridge and Saltford,
received two sentences of three
raenths each, to run consecutively,
when convicted on two - of the
charges.
A third person, John Sproul, is
facing three charges of forgery but•
he•ai-i'ng of these was 'adjourned
until today after last week's court
lasted Thursday ,:afternoon and all
day Paiday.
Writes Cheques
Mcrlardy, as a Crown witness in
the charges against Graham, told
the court that he had made out the
cheques •at Sproul's hone in Col-
borne Township., He said he had
met Graham at Sproul's, and Gra-
ham had given him the blank
Cheque forms. Graham told him
he.. wanted to start "throwing"
cheques, he. said. With him in
the cam when cheques were cashed
at Clinton and Blyth" were Graham
and Edwin Elliott, of Goderich, he .
said.
Most of the cheques, ,McHardy,
said, were cashed by getting .gasp -
line for Graham's car, and the
money was used to purchase liquor.
Graham, in his own defence, ad -
mita I meeting, McHardy at the
Sero ' • house, but did not recall
having talked about cheques. Mc -
Hardy did not get the cheque
forms from him and ;he was not
present when the cheques were,
written.
Under eross-examination by
Crown Aittorney 11. Glenn Hays,
Graham said that .Elliott had 'sign
ad one cheque that had been writ-
ten in the car near Blyth.
Elliott denied having signed the
cheque, although he admitted 'hav-

Hardgy at' Clinton and Blyth. He

Close Tie.
There is a very close tip betvVeen
the Ontario Department of High -
Ways and the weekly newspapers
of this province, the minister not-
ed. They link up, editorially and
in -news matter, with what we are
working out in partnership with
Municipal Road. Authorities such
s ,County and Township Councils
and the ado inistrations of urban
•nlunioipalities, large. and small.
"The press of this Province also
has done a most admirable job in
support of provincial and local
efforts aimed at reducing traffic
accidents. In that fine effort, fea-
tured in both news and editorial
eoliathii the weekly press of On-
tario; . including semi-we.ekly and
tri -weekly newspapers, has render-
ed invaluable service. In the pre=.
senc•e of this great assembly of
municipal Leaders, I want to tender
my thanks to their publishers,
editors ..and staffs and, ' in d Ging-so,
express the hope that all the tom-
.munity„, service .,rendered by news•
papers, radio, television and other
organs of publicity Will receive the
appreciation and cooper at'ion
which they so richly merit." .
Ontario's free press, made up of
daily and weekly newspapers and
other organs of publicity including
radio and television, has grown
amazingly s'in'ce 1894, Mr. Aldan
said, and nowhere has that growth
been more to the interest of the
!people-. generally than in the 'com-
munity .field of our weekly news-
papers, ...
Foresight
Referring td deve] opmenrt in
Huron, Mr. Allan cited the new
Patterson Bridge over the Maitt.
land River at Auburn as an ex-
cellent example of "what the fore-
sight of Ontario's municipal lead-
ers and officials has projected."
This new structure, opened on
December 31, stands on County
•.Road 25 in West Wawa'n!osh Town-
ship. •• Thirty - feet wide, its 460
. deet length is supported by sym-
metrical spans that are, repeotive-
ly 76, 104, . 104 and '76 feet in
length.
While the estimated cost was
only $216,000 far all its length,
Tom Pryde, member for Huron
riding in which this bridge stands,
assures. me that all concerned are
proud of that fine re-inforreed con-
crete structure.
"At last," smiled the psychatrist,
"I can pronounce you cured.. You
