Act.
Wilfred Gran, of Goderich,
was fined $1000'' and costs or 30
days in jail for keeping liquor for
sale.
Mrs, Pamela Stevenson, of • Port
Albert, was fined $75 and costs
or two weeks in jail for selling
liquor.
Evidence in the Graham case
Was heard one week earlier. He
pleaded not guilty, and judgment
was reserved by Magistrate D. E.
Holmes at that time.
Defence counsel James Donnelly
submitted there was not enough
evidence as to either the owner-
ship of the liquor or the sale of
same. The magistrate pointed out
that the Canada Temperance Act
gives the court wide power to
presume.
Delivering judgment Thursday,
the magistrate stated: "The in-
escapable conclusion . is that the
accused was conducting the busi-
ness ofkeeping :liquor for sale,
so I find him guilty as charged."

Minors Involved
In the, other ' A case, Mrs.
Stevenson pleaded guilty to selling
liquor • in ,Ashfield Township on'
January 31.
Crown Attorney II. Glenn Hays
stated: "The aggravating tactor is
that the- boy that bought it was
17, the boy. with him, was•'n18 and
the boy in the car was 16."
Magistrate Holmes warned, the
woman that if she came before
him again and was convicted of
selling liquor to minors, there
would be a jail sentence.- Anyone
who sells liquor to youngsters" is
in a different book than the pt
son selling to adults, in the mag
istrate's opinion.
"Youngsters can't handle Liquor.
Their chemical reactions are no

"It's on the fringe of what you
might call gangsterism," said Mag-
istrate D. E. Holmes 'when two
Goderich youths pleaded guilty to
assaulting a 21 -year-old airman.
Clifton Freeman and Paul Spain,
who were charged jointly, were
fined $50 and costs each, or two
weeks in jail.
The .story, -.starts on January• 31
when Stanley Leadley, of 'Clinton
ReAiF Station, had a conversation
with Paul Spain at the local arena.
Leadley was discussing a grievance
he had against a ' certain youth
who was ,,entenced to a jail term
recently.
Crown Attorney H. Glenn Hays
said that after Leadley went to
his car, Spain came up to him
again and asked if he wanted to
see the youth he had the grievance
against. -Leadley said -yes, so they
walked over to another ear. ,
Surprise -1 '
There, instead of finding the
slight youth , he expected •to ser,
Leadl'ey wa confronted by Free-
man, who is of a 'much heavi-
build. As Leadley stepped up,
Freeman "stepped out of the car
and hit him, the court was told.
Leadley said Freeman hit him
In New Bylaw
"Is it legal to rnake a left turn
to angle park on the apposite side
of the street?" a truck driver ask-
ed in magistrate's court.
"I've never 'approved of it, but
I don't know of any by-law in town
that forbids it," replied Magistrate
1). E. Holmes.
Ile thought it might be some-
thing for Town Council to consider
when it is revising the tow,n traffic
by-law.
The trucker was involved in a
collision with a car on icy West
street in Goderich on January 13.
He was charged with failing to turn
out to the left far enough when
overtaking the car to avoid hitting
it. The charge was dismissed'.
The car driver testified, he was
proceeding west on West street
and put signal lights on as he
came opposite the dry,,, cleaning
plant on the south side: He slow-
-ed 'to a halt, he said, to wait for
.a taxi which was backing •out on
'the other side of the street Be
intended to cross the street and
park where the taxi had been.
The truck, which bad been follow-.
-ing;came .in collision with the
rear of•the car.
The truck driver ,said everything
happened at once. He was•pulling
out.to. pass when he saw the signal
lights. Just then, the taxi pulled
out from the opposite curb, too,
he said The truck left skid marks
39 feet long, stated Constable R..B.
Crawford: . -
The magistrate felt is was a
risky practice to turn across the
road tb angle park on the opposite
side.
He dismissed the charge, saying,
"Under the 't ircumstances, there's
a certain amount of doubt. The
road was bad."

OIJT QN,A LIMB
(WITH BILL SMILEY)
A woman recently, wrote the
editor of the Bowmanville States-
man, asking him why in the world
his paper carried this Out on a
Limb column by this Smiley fellow.
She claimed ` she had never yet
found anything interesting,, or
amusing in it, objected. to the cal-
lous way he spoke • o'f his amily,
and suggested that he was 'Merely
an •unnpleasant sort of person who
refused to accept the responsibil-
ities of family life. She added
_that she, 'had several children of
her own, so knew something about
such responsibilities.
* * *
The" lady is absolutely right. 1
refuse to accept my responsibil-
ities. .1 also . refuse to accept the
fact that 1 asp not young and hand-
some. It makes me feel better to
battle these things: When 1 begin

ities, 1 will have ceased to be' a

several times but Spain did not
throw any punches.
Defence counsel James Donnelly
suggested that Leadley had been
steking out . •trouble but found' a
bigger parcel than he :figured on,
"Have you been in any of the
fracases before?" the magistrate
asked Leadley.
"Not 'til I carne to Goderich,
sir," replied Leadley.
Before announcing tate fines,
Magistrate Holmes noted that both
accused persons had been in the
.court before. If they continued
in the path they have been• follow-
ing; he' feared that something much
more serious may happen some
day.'
Sometimes the intentions are ,not
too serious when these things star:.
out, but the ' partiHpants can be
come inflamed' to the extent they
throw all caution to the wind,
warned the magistrate.
He referred to a recent fracas
at Ottawa which had fatal results.
