A coroner's jury, under the direc- tion of coroner Dr?, W. A. Crawford, found "negligence do the part of Can- ada Packers Ltd."'at an inquest into the death of Stewqrt Dove, who was killed in an acnichkt at the plant on Monday, October, 26th. The verdict of the jury said that the fatality might have been avoided if there had been a pin flush with the shaft which caused the accident instead of a bolt. Witnesses testifying ,at the inquest were Ross Allen, manager of the plant, William Willis and Orville Hastings, employees, F. A. E. Cooke, district in- spector of the provincial Department of Labor, photographer Ian Hammer- ton, Provincial Constable Charles Salter and Chief Constable Bert Platt. Crown Attorney Glenn Hays, of Code- rich, was also present. The coroner's jury consisted of Alton Adams, Nor- man Welwood, Len Crawford and A. Hackett, with W. B. Conron, as fore- man. Recommended Shorter Bolts Evidence presented by witnesses at the hearing showed that the deceased had met his death because of the en- tanglement of his clothing on the line shaft of the plant, Situated on the third floor of the building. According to evidence, entanglement was caused by a bolt which protruded out of the line shaft, catching the clothing of the deceased as it came in contact with the revolving bolt. Inspector Cooke tsetified that in March of this year he had inspected the plant, and at that time he recom- mended that the long bolts in the shaft be replaced with shorter ones. Evidence brought forth the fact that the bolts inspected by Cooke had act- ually been replaced by shorter bolts, but that a shorter bolt had been the cause of the accident. The inspector admitted at the inquiry that his re- commendations regarding the bolts were not as clear as they might have been. Text of Verdict Text of the jury's findings was as follows: "We find after due consideration of all evidence, both seen and heard, that the deceased, Stewart Dove, met his death on Monday morning, Octo- ber 26, 1953, between the hours of 9,30 a.m. and 10.40 a.m. "In view of the evidence presented and because of lack of eye witnesses, we have determined that the deeeased met his death because of the entangel-. meat of his clothing on the line shaft situated in the penthouse of the Can- ada Packers Feed Mill. "This entanglement was caused by a bolt which protruded for some dis- tance out of this line shaft, "Due to lack of evidence showing how the clothing of the deceased came in contact with the above bolt and line shaft, we have determined that the situation which allowed this hazard to exist proves negligence on the part of Canada Packers Ltd, • "We have further determined that had there been a phi, flush with the shaft, instead of a bolt, that this fatal- ity Might have been avoided." Remembrance day will be marked in Wingham on Sunday instead of November 11th, A special Armistice Day service Will be held in Wingham United Church on Sunday to which members of the Canadian Legion will parade.

Rend Durand, parish priest, welcomed Bishop Cody on behalf of the parishioners of Sacred Heart, Wingham and its mission of St. Ambrose, Brussels. Addressing the candidates, Bishop Cody reminded them that they were receiving a sacrament instituted by Christ to make them strong, more perfect soldiers of Christ. "We need this means of grace especially in to- day's godless and more materialistic age" stated Bishop Cody, referring in his remarks to the religious perse- cution being endured by Cardinals lVfindszenty and Wyszyncki, Arch- bishop Stepinac and countless other priests and laity suffering for the same cause of Christ in communist countries.

PARTY AT MclINTOSII An enjoyable Hallowe'en party was held in the McIntosh basement on October 29th, 89 members of the Y.P. U. came in costume of every size, shape and colour. Typical Hallowe'en games had been arranged by Audrey Mahood and Francis Inglis, and were played with zest and lots of fun. Re- freshments were served and a happy evening brought to a cloSe with a Ghost story. Wingham's Responsibility Explaining that the raising of the debentures was the responsibility of the town of Wingham, Mr. Hethering- ton pointed out that the province as- sumes 75% of the cost, and that the other municipalities involved would take up their share of the expense. He estimated that when the other muni- cipalities had taken their share of the cost of the new school, Winghara would be left with about $25,000 as their total cost on the new building. On a 20-year debenture Mr. Hether- ington estimated that this would add slightly less than a mill to' the tax- payers' taxes, or about VA mills on a 10-year debenture. All of which, Mr. Hetherington stated, is a comparative- ly small amount to pay for the bene- fits of a new high school. Following Mr. Hetherington's re- quest members of council discussed - the proposition from the financial standpoint and agreed to apply to the Municipal Board for permission to raise the debentures. The necessary by-law was read for the first and sec- ond time, voted upon and carried, so that the matter could could go ahead with maximum speed. Mr. MacTavish pointed out that if the financial end of the business was expedited, detailed plans for the building could be made as quickly as possible, allowing the board to call for tenders at the first of the year, when the market for tenders was at its best. Ask Later Closing ,Hours George Cameron, pool room oper- ator, was present at the meeting to ask the council that something be done about a by-law requiring 11 o'cli.ek closing of pool rooms in town. money. He pointed out that he pays a substantial business tax to the town, and that it would be of great help to him if he could stay open an hour later in the evenings. He didn't think that many of the townspeople would be effected by a later closing hour, since it was mostly the country people who wished to play' later than the regular hours. After Mr. Cameron had presented his appeal the council discussed the question of closing hours. One of the councillors brought up the subject of the bowling alley, which is not subject to closing hours, 'and asked if it were fair for one to be closed when the other was open. Following the dis- cussion it was decided that the by-Iaw be rescinded and that a new by-law be !fleeted requiring a 12 o'clock clos- ing for pool rooms in town. More New Sidewalk Coming Councillor Athol Purdon reported that work on the sidewalks on both sides of Josephine Street was almost completed with. the exception of the blacktop which is to be rolled in from the street. He said that a sidewalk was also being constructed on Diag- onal Road in front of the new bowl- ing alley, necessitated by the fact that water had been running over the pavement from. Centre Street. He asked the council if it would approve the job of completing the pavement on the east side of Josephine Street, and extending the new walk as far as Victoria Street. After consideration of the matter the council decided that new pave- ment should he laid right to Victoria Street, and that work on this portion should be started as soon as possible.
