Exeter Woman Is Acquitted Of Motor Manslaughter Mrs. Joan Butterfield, 20, of Exe- ter, Wednesday was acquitted of a motor manslaughter charge after Justice E. R. E. Chevrier said he found insufficient evidence to just- ify the charge and directed the jury t� return a verdict of not guiltY. A lesser charge of dangerous driving laid against Mr. Butter- deld returned a "not guilty" ver - diet. The two charges were laid in connection with the death of Jos- eph Mitocher, of Port Stanley, in a five -car accident July 14 on No. 4 Highway at concession 10, Lon- don Township. At the opening of the third day of trial Wednesday, Defence Coun- sel George L. Mitchell, K.C., intro- duced a motion that there was in- sufficient evidence to justify the manslaughter charge and asked dismissal of the count. He said the defence submission was that a tire blow-out was the cause of the fatal pile-up. In his charge to the jury before it retired shortly before 1 pen. to consider the second charge of dan- gerous delving, Justice Chevrier said he did, not feel the evidence sufficient for conviction. "As I view the evidence, the crown has not satisfied me 'beyond reasonable doubt that there was no blow-out. I cannot reconcile my- self there was that degree of negli- gence to justify a charge of dan- gerous driving," he said. e__ -_--e Farmer: "Come op, • I'll &how you helve to milk a Cow."

An Open Letter To All Parents of Seaforth and District After much planning and work the Boy Scouts will be once again seen around Seaforth. It was hop ed that when the Community Cen- tre was built that ample provision would have been made for a meet- ing place, but unfortunately no room in the community centre is suitable for Scout meetings. Through the efforts of our mem- ber, A. Y. McLean, M.P., we have received authority to use the old armoury rooms on the second floor of the Post Office building. These will be heated and lit, and what is most important, they will be cen tral. Mr. Eastman, the public school principal, has offered his services as Scoutmaster, and last spring a few meetings were held with some of the older boys who would be trained as patrol leaders, Satur day, Oct. 14, is the day set. apart by the Provincial Government as Bo-, Scout Apple Day, and our boys will be on the streets of Seaforth selling apples. There are many things which the Boy Scouts can do for the ,benett of the community, but first of all we must give them our loyal sup- port and help them in any way possible. A Scouters training will equip a boy for any eventuality in • life; it is a clean, healthy pastime. and one which calls for co-opera- tion and team spirit. The boys and girls committee of the Lions Club, which is the sponsoring commit- tee, is anxious that our young peo- ple have healthy, happy pastimes, and at the same time be encourag- ed to make use of all their facul- ties in the proper way, and chief of all, be an asset to their com- munity. %ye are hoping now that we have a meeting place that in the very near future that Cubs, Girl Guides and Brownies may be started, but rr--- I, ask one thing of allpar- ents with children desirous of be- coming members,'of either Scouts or Brownies: WjIl you be patient and don't expect too much at the beginning, so that we can build up pn a sure foundation. Let's rally round these wortihwhile movements and give our full support, both fin- ancial and otherwise. REV. T. DALE JONES, Chairman Boys' and Girls' Commit- tee, Seaforth Lions Club, sponsor- ing Community Scouts. N.B.—Don't forget Saturday, Oct, 14, Boy Scouts Apple Day.
