Just three days later a second pair of calves was born to the stork- All four calves, purebred short- horns, have survived. The McAllister farm is now pre- pared to expect surprises from here in. _o Recent visitors with Mr.. and Mrs. W. Lawrence and Mr. and Mrs. J. Wilson and Mary were Rev. Ro•b't. McLaren, Sault Ste. Marie, • riei Don Kavanagh. of Leeds. England. wanting to know where the horse race track was located. Other in- quiries included those about ac- commodation, directions and where_ beer could be obtained. On Saturday, a cavalcade of three Michigan cars were 'passing through when the last one in line developed engine trouble. Un- aware of this the two first cars proceeded on up Highway 21. The stranded motorist learned it would take about six days before his cal - would be repaired. Police were contacted in an effort to radio ahead and tell occupants of the other two cars to return to Gode- rich. No contact was made ‘Ab the stranded motorist. Douglas Speck, of Detroit, hopped aboard a bus and headed for Wiarton where he hoped to find the rest of the cavalcade heading for a point some 16 miles from Wiarton Ate.

LanT nava, crf R.B. 7, I eknow, who w» ,ar ehpi°fed: specifically as "the owner" --rather 41114 as the driver =t 2 0 'vehicle that was drivw c .L'elessly. Ile was fined five dollars and costs. Thou* the crown had submitted its evidence several wee£as earlier, final disposition of the case had ibeen delayed' while the colt sought more information relating to the defence's contention, that the inforuaaticp, on which the. charge Was based, was ,t,a valid. The magistrate said that u charge, iworded almost identically, had been brought before the Ap- peal Court, • winch felt that the owner was liable when the vehicle was driven ,carelessly. Magistrate Holmes then ruled that the inform- ation was valid in the Lannan case and the hearing proceeded. When the ease was first intro- duced in court several weeks ago, there was some question as to why the man had been charged as the owner rather than as the driver. Crown Attorney H. Glenn ,frays suggested at that time that there might have been some un- eerta, a,ty as to who was driving the car. Mr. Lannan admitted, however, that he was behihd the wheel at the time of the alleged offence. He pleaded not guilty to the charge. According to witnesses, the Lan- nan car backed out of a laneway and into another auto, owned by John ,_Baxter, on St. David street Mr. Lannan said he did not realize he had struck the other ear, which was damaged to the extent of $74.60. t The magistrate agreed that it was not a very serious case of careless driving, and he suggested that possibly the lawmakers should set up some "in-between" section to take care of such minor cases. o • Over 400 Attend Nurses° Dance The Goderich Graduate nurses, with Mrs. Bonnie Gowman as con- venor, sponsored a very success- ful dance on Friday evening, June 28, "at' Sky Harbour.
