Improved Car Door Locks Recommendations involving the construction of automobiles to pro- vide for a safer type of rear door, were included in a verdict ren- dered by a coroner's jury at Hen - salt Tuesday. The jury was inquiring into, the death a week, ago of three-year- old Afiena Hooseboom, who open- ed the back door of her father's car and fell from the vehicle into the path of another car driven by Patrick Flannery, of H.R. 5, Mt. Brydges. The jury verdict found "that Afiena Rooseboom, the deceased person, came to her death at two o'clock in the afternoon on the 21st day of April, 1957, at approxi. - .mately one mile south of Hensall, and that the „death was caused by injuries due to Afiena Rooseboom falling into the path of an oncom- ing automobile. "We, the jurymen, attach no blame to any of the principals in- volved. "We, the jury, recommend that the attorney -general's office pre- vent any automobile manufacturer from manufacturing a four -door automobile with rear doors hinged at the rear without adequate safe- ty locks. By adequate safety locks we mean rear doors of this type to be prevented from opening while the car is in motion, "We further recommend that the rear door locks and the doors themselves on this type of four - door automobile be checked asto their soundness and reliability in conjunction with the safety checks being made on our highways to- day.' The inquest was before Coroner .T. C. Goddard, of Hensall, and witnesses were examined by H: Glenn Hays, Q.C., Huron Crown Attorney.

Huron: T Askodati. Considers Grants The annual meeting of the Huron County Tuberculosis Association named Elmer Bell, Q.C., Exeter. president. succeeding Gordon Knight, Brussels. The association met Monday night in Clinton Town Hall, with representatives from all parts of Huron County present. H. Glenn Hays, Q.C., Huron Crown Attorney, was named to the position of vice-president. while Judge Frank Fingland, Clinton, is honorary president; H. C. Lawson, Clinton, honorary treasurer. Mrs. J. B. Russell, R.R. 2, Seaforth, is secretary -treasurer. Committee heads are: Dr. R. M. Aldis, medical advisory commit- tee, and also representative on the Ontario Tuberculosis Association; F. E. Medill,. Wingham, chairman of the 1957 'Christmas Seals sale committee; H. A. McDermott, of Fordwich, and W. H. Mountain, Blyth, the case -finding commit- tee; Mrs. K. B. McRae, Reg.N., Clinton. the TB education commit- tee. A new committee, social service and rehabilitation, was set up with J. , Elgin McKinley, Zurich, H. C. Lawson. Clinton, and Gordon' Knight. Brussels, in charge. The association executive feels that more can possibly be done to help families of those stricken with TB, especially where finances become a problem. The Huron TB Association has a balance on hand of nearly $12,- 000. With this in mind, and the recollection of having given grants to each of the other hos- pitals in the county for help in TB detection, and their general X-ray work, Judge Fingland sug- gested that consideration be giv- en to offering similar help to the Goderich Hospital Board, now in process of enlarging the hospital there. Grants to other hospitals have amounted to $4.000 to $5,000. In a report on the mass chest X-ray survey carried out last year. Mrs. Russell noted that the per- centage of eligible persons taking the X-ray had been 55, an increase from the 38.7 per cent turnout at the 1952 survey. Although this is six per cent lower than the highest recorded 'turnout in other coun- ties, it was considered to be en- couraging, especially when Huron showed the greatest increase in percentage of all counties. Considerable attention was giv- en to education of the public with regard to TB. TV spots and pamphlets will be used. Mrs, Rus- sell noted that in the last survey, only 111 Huron people between the ages of 80 and 90 had taken the X-ray. She considers that this was not enough, and suspects that KIPPEN Rev. G. Burton, of London, was the guest speaker at Se Andrew's United Church on Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. G. Vennema, of Hu ngton, were weekend', guests Of he latter's parents, Mr. and Mrs. A.
