Reeve Fisher advised the club to map out plans, then present a program to Council, which will see what it can do to reimburse the club for expenses incurred because of the fact that ice will not be available here as early as request- ed. The club's out-of-pocket ex- penses might include the cost of renting out-of-town arena; for prat tices, some transportation costs and other items. Council ebind Team Said Deputy -Reeve Donnelly: "The Town Council wants a junior "B" hockey -club in there. If we can work it out between us, we'll certainly do our share."

In delivering judgment. Magis- I trate Holmes said he did not be -1 lieve that the constables "colored" evidence. "Constables are like Caesar's wife," said the magistrate.

Common, QC, then Director of Public Prosecutions for the Pro vince of Ontario, now Deputy At- torney -General for the Province of Ontario, delivered a few years ago to the joint committee of the Senate and House of Commons on Capital and Corporal Punishment. Mr. Common stated: `I Might say for those members of the Committee who are un- familiar with the procedure at a trial—and .I am not going') into technical matters --it will suli.e to say this: that in all of the cases not only in capital cases but usually in all criminal cases there is complete disclosure by the prosecution of its case to the de- fence. 'To use a colloquialism, 'there are no 'fast ones' pulled by the Crown. The defence does not have to disclose its case to the Crown. We do not ask it for a complete and full disclosure of the case._ `If there..are statements by wit • - nesses, statements of accused, the witness is supplied with copies, they know exactly what our case :s. and there is nothing hidden or kept back or suppressed so that' the accused person is taken by sur- prise at a trial by springing a sur- prise witnes on him.

In order to assure more oppor- tunities for participation on a com- munity level, these communities agreed that in the 1957-5.8 season, all minor hockey would be con ducted on a community basis with inter onamunity play only on the play-off level. In addition to pro- viding a greater opportunity for participation, this would limit the amount of expenses in minor sports develaopenent. The local community organiza- tion and the zone organization necessary to develop this type of program will be discussed at a meeting to be held in the Council Chambers in the Town Hall in Wingham et 2 p.m. en Saturday, November 9th, and those interest- ed from each community in West- ern Ontario have beep invited to attend. 0 0 0 Choice Christmas Trees To Be Scarce Despite the fact that millions of Scotch Pine have been planted, and thousands of these are big enough to cut, there is still a shortage of good Christmas trees — the ones which would grade as first class trees. One man who had planted half a million could show only about a hundred which would qual- ify, even though he had been try- ing to care for his trees by spray- ing and pruning. His pruning had not been sufficiently careful to pro- duce the desired product, and now many of his trees are so large that they must be sold as second or third class trees. Growers• might well profit from such a lesson. If they would pro- duce Christmas trees, let them pro- duce the best. To, produce the best requires care, particularly in pruning. Spruce, White Pine and Cedar j can be grown with Scotch Pine, and they may well be a much more profitable crop which will beautify the area long after Christmas trees are cut.

Some months ago, Mike Reba- tich,*second last owner of the hotel, entered a damage action against Allan Jackson, of Toronto, for fail- ing to complete a deal to buy the hotel. Mr. Jackson entered a counter -claim for return of a $500 deposit. In court here this week, Mr. Justice Treleaven dismissed Mr. Jackson's motion that the court dismiss the damage action brought by Mr. Rebatich. As matters rest now, the damage action and the counter -claim are still on the books, with no date set for a hearing. The British Exchange Hotel, which had many owners in its long history, was bought from Mr. Rebatich• by Harry Levine, of Tor- onto, last October 10—less than. two months before the disastrous fire. There had been negotiations between Mr. Rebatich and Mr. Jackson before Mr. Levine bought it. Frank Donnelly, of Goderich, ap- peared on behalf of Mr. Rebatich in court this week, while Newsom & Sheard represented Mr. Jackson.
