General At Hamill Sees Increase In Employment "It's the best thing that could happen to the industry," was the enthusiastic comment C. Smith, ilensall, president of the Canadian Mobile Homes Associa- tion, when he heard that the -Fed% eral budget had placed mobile homes on a tax equality with houses. Mr. Smith, who is general man- ager of General Coach at Hensel', said the tax change would result in a reduction of from $200 to $500 to their customers. "This •means that we can anticipate a substan- tial increase in customer demand," he said. General Coach has been adding to its work force, and at the inom- ent has a production staff of 120. Within a month it is expected the staff total will be not less than the peak reached last year. Mr. Smith said. Referring to the budget change. Mr. Smith said 75 per cent of in- dustry production is purchased by construction or service people. The reduction, which now takes place in selling price, means these peo- ple will be able to 'get a larger size to suit their needs, or save a substantial amount. Until now, purchasers of mobile homes have beep required to pay full sales taieon the purchase price, despite the fact that many mobile homes are comparable to ordinary homes which, for many, years,have been sales tax free. The budget recognizes this inequality;' Mr. Smith said., and provides that mobile hernia adapted for living purposes, and that provide full liv- ing accommodatiod, will be ex- empt in respect of 75 per cent of their value, John Kenny WM Be 90 On.40ay Mr. John KennY;h4Orrperly of Dublin, and now residfilge'''' eith his sisteie Mrs. Jean Fortune:ILL 4, Seaforth, will on Friday.

On arrival they found the roof in, so fast had the fire gain- ed headway, According to D'Orlean Sills, who was in charge of the truek. Other firemen attending were George Hildebrand .and %Mt. Scott, The_ blaze wap • discovered by Doug Riehl, 17, a son. As he was returning from leaving milk cans at the farm gate, he noticed, a haze above the barn roof. Run- ning to the barn, he managed to get 40 head of cattle out 'of the burning blinding before he war forced out by the flames. „Only' cattle lost from Mr. ,Riehrs prize- winning Holstein herd were three calves. Mr, Riehl was in Exeter at the time. but the alarm was turned, in by Mrs. Ri_ehl, who was busy in the nearby, residence. , Also lost, in addition to' the build- ing and calves, *as a large quan- tity of hay and grainas well as a milldng machine. There is no indication as to what led to the fire, ffr. Riehl said. Doug Riehl had been in the mow about 6 o'clock that , morning throwing down hay, and everything seemed to be all right. Kno,wiedge of the fire was not general in the district, and as a result a relatively small crowd of nearby neighbors was on hand to help. Roy Wildfong, who lives a couple of ,miles e west, said he wouldn't have known anything about it if his wife hadn't noticed the Seaforth fire truck going past his farm. A light snow was falling dur- ing the blaze, and there was little wind, which reduced the risk to other nearby buildings. Mr. Riehl said Wednesday after- noon he had not had an opportun- ity of looking into the matter of rebuilding. In the meantime his •herd was being looked after by neighbors, he said.

At the same time, it draws sels Friday afternooninquiring in_ attention to defects in motor ve- to the death of Robert J. Kirkby and his wife, Elizabeth Kirkby, Walton residents, which occurred on County Road 19, north of Ethel, on March 4, concluded that the accident which contributed to the death, came about as a result of the driver having fallen asleep. The verdict of 'the jury present- ed by foreman J. Douglas/Heming- way, read: "We find' that the de- ceased came to his death instant- ly as a result of injuries sustained as the car he was driving on County Road No. 19, crashed into a tree on the farm of Clifford Rowland, March 4, 1957. There is no definite evidence, but we be- lieve the deceased fell asleep, los- ing control. We further find that his wife, Elizabeth Kirkby, died instantly of injuries while a pas- senger in the same accident." Members of the coroner's jury were Russell Bradshaw, William Gibson, Thomas B. Strachan, Har- vey Dennis and J. Douglas Heming- way. Presiding at the inquest was Coroner Dr. R. W. Stevens, of Brussels. Preliminary to examining the witnesses, Crown Attorney H. Glenn 1-Tays, of Goderich, explained that an inquest is obligatory in all cas- es where death occurs as a result of a motor accident. Such an in- quest, he said, provided an oppor. bibity to. determine Contributory Causes, and thus MOO possible amendments ellatteS °sit 10, 14100,t:i1) r4; eeteehet 0.4a, hicles and this, in turn, is of bene- fit to manufacturers. He stress- ed that in no way was the inquest to be considered as a criminal in- quiry. , Clifford Rowland, former Grey Township reeve, in front of whose home the accident occurred, told the jury that his farm is located on County Road No. 19. northeast of Ethel. and that it is on the east side of the road. On the night of the accident he had retired about half an hour, when he heard a ter- rific crash. He was able to hear cars regularly, proceeding along the highway, and on this night as a particular car approach, it was followed by the crash. He placed the time at 11:45 p.m. He ran out of his home and reached the scene within a minute or so, and saw a car on the south side of his driveway facing east. It was apparent, he said, that the car had left the road about a hun- dred feet north from the driveway and gradually veered towards a tree. He agreed that the car had been proceeding from the north. No other ear was involved, he said, although a car came along shortly afterwards, passed the accideft scene, but turned around and came back. On examining the car, he found that two people were in it, but ,didn't know either one of them. He called to his wife in the house to summon Medical aid, and with - 'a ful# minutes Dr. Myers, of Ortissebi- had arrivedi and shortly' afterwards Constables Lewis and Salter arrived. There was no ob- struction on the road and the road was in good shape, he said. Russell Bradshaw, one of the coroner's jury, inquired concerning a broken headlight, but it was sug- gested by Crown Attorney Hays that the question might better be answered by one of the constables. Police Constable Robert Lewis told the inquest that he arrived at the scene at 12:25 a.m. He identified photographs of the accidentve- liiieicl%aadndtaTeenIeesacrreiteNdyhtichhe vehicle as being a '49 Meteor coach. The driver and his wife were still in the car on his ar- rival. An examination of the road in- dicated that at a point a 3.25 feet north of where he found the ve- hicle, tracks commenced to veer gradually to the east. He had ex- amined the vehicle and all the tires and the steering mechanism appeared to be in good condition. There was nothing in flu • condi- tion of the car to explaid the fact that it had left the road. He point- ed out that for the last 54 feet be- fore the point of impact, there were four marks noticeable, and this Seggested that the vehicle had moved almost 'sideways for this distance. The only conclusion, he said, was that the driver had fall- en asleep, and that the vehicle eras travelling at a Considerable speed. He deducted this fact, that there es speed involved from, the way ,t vehicle travelled sidewtys, . „.. ,!,•14;EV reed with CrntTi tt6theY, Hays that it was quite probable that Mrs. Kirkby was also as194). and agreed further that there is a tendency when a driver goes to sleep to press down on the gas pedal. The foreman of the jury, Mr. Hemingway, inquired whether there was any apparent swerving from the ruts, and the witness said no. that the ruts indicated a gradual curving off the road. The constable replied further in an- swer to a question that there were no signs of a deer or animal that perhaps the vehicle had attempt- ed to dodge. There was no evidence of quick swerving, which is an lute are also very active. indication that there had been an effort to avid an obstruction.
