(Commenting that he was opposed to sending anyone to penitentiary if it could he avoided, and that accus- ed had noeavecueed their money by violence, Judge Costello, in county court Wednesday evening, sentenced John Powell Johnstone, 31, former Toronto stack •broker, and his head salesman, Francis Bylee, 53, each to two years less one da Y in the On- tario reformatory. 'The prisoners took their sentences calmly, shaking 'hands with their counsel and numerous frietds in the court room before being taken to the county jail. The sentences date back to the day of their incarceration in Huron coun- ty jail, in the case of Johnstone sonic 14 weeks, and with l3y1es to April of this year. The sentence marked the culmina- tion of trials extending over seven days. Johnstone, immaculately dressed, was found guilty of converting to his own use, funds of Consolidated Creameries, Ltd., which he promot- ed. Immediately Johnstone was sen- tenced counsel for Byl•es, R. C. Hays, Jr., asked permission to change Byles' plea of "not guilty” to one of "guilty" with respect to the false oretencas charge against his client. The request vas granted and sen- tence identical to that of Johnstone was imposed. On charges of conver- sion and theft, Byles was discharged, the Crown offering no evidence.

Jones, late Cthaireman, of the Lions: CriPdoledi ' Childre'n Committee, on Sunday af- ternoon, when an interesting- presene beton emeenony took -place in Stott Memorial Hospital. 'The eurem'onry was attended by memlbers of the Lions C1ulb, members a the Scott •1VIemorial Respite.' Board, the staff, and a few guests. Lion President Mayor J. F. Daly; presided. Rev. Father Goetz offered, prayer and Lion' DT. F. J. Bechedy presmt- ed the Hospital with a large cabinet containing a complete -selection of ; splints for the use in the hospital or 'by nearby doctors. The cabinet, •which contains the collection, Js of beautiful walnut and was mannifac- tured' at the Atvon Chests, Seafortlh. 1W. H. 'Golding, M,P., in accepting the gift on ibehalf of the Hospital Board, 'assured the Lions that the - gift would be midst Usef.ut Former- • ly, he said, it had been necessary to 'borrow such equipment froimi some city hospital. Dr. ,Bechely, in presenting the cab- inet, said: ‘Members of • the Hoipital Board, Staff of the Scott Memorial Hospital . and.Fellow Lions: We have met this afternoon to unveil a memorial to • the memory of our. late ,friend and -• beloved fellow worker, Lion Robert Murless Jones. Following in his foot-, steps, as Chairman of the Crippled Committee., has Ibsen a comparatively easy task, as he left the woTk• so completely organized. He brought to this Moat necessary activity the same depth of under- standing, (broadness of vision and hurnlin sylmipathy, so characteristic of all his endeavors in this coranvan- ity. Lion. Jones was a tireless worker. Wlhen this -work was first decided up - On it seemed 'moat natural that, the man the -Club should select as or- ganizer should he Lion Jones. The mernibers always felt confident that „ anything which he was asked to do would he cheerfully and ably carried • out no matter what. previous demand's might have been made on histime and talents. There always seeneed to be roam far just one more. ' But Lion Janes didn't consider crippled •children's work a duty to be 'performed. To him this was a more. vital thing. It meant being able to help those pore/. unfortunate ,thildren who. through no fault of their own, . would otherrwir compelled to go • through. lifehandieapped to the point of helplessness. Can you think of a more Godlike work ? Can you an-. agine the joy and thankfulness that 'must well up in the hearts of so many mothers and fathers when men- tion is made of the rain of our de- parted member? This thankfulness and regard will always remain in the hearts of those he was ahle to assist in the all too short time we were privilege•d to have -him with us.. This is a far greater tribute to his memory than the cabinet ofsplints which our club now presents to the Scott Memorial Hospital in the, hone that the work which he organized- and started. may be enlarged and sa extended in its scope that no underprivileged and crirplecl child ne'S he deprived of its God-given birthrizht, his health. Death come,: with a crawl, ()r corn., with a pounce, And whIher he's slow or spry It iFin't the fact that you're dead that counts, But only, how chd you die.
