the new Coroners' Act introduced
in the Legislature this week.
Solicitor -General John Yaremko
termed the new Act "a bill of
rights for witnesses and jurors"
at inquests. The bill closely fol-
lows recommendations made last
year by the Ontario Law Reform
Commission.
No longer will people be found
blameless or blameworthy at in-
quests ' and jurors will be per-
mitted to make findings of fact
only although they still will be
encouraged. to make recom-
mendations. The new Act will.
forbid coroner's juries to find
criminal or civil responsibility in
cases before them.'
The province plans no further
steps to regulate the manufac
ture, sale or use of fireworks de-
spite one death and several in-
juries, some serious, of young
people over the May 24th holiday.
Regulation of sale and use is left
to individual municipalities and
Premier William Davis said he
believes this is sufficient and that
a number of municipalities have
brought in relevant by-laws.
The Premier also said that a
ban 'on the manufacture of fire-
works has not been considered,

The driving of an 18 -year-old
Fordwich area youth was
described as "simply shocking"
in provincial court in Listowel
last week.
Reginald Bradley, of RR 1,
Fordwich, was convicted of
dangerous driving. He was fined
$300 or 30 days in jail and prohi•
-
bited from driving for two years.
Listowel police Const. Charles
Newman told provincial court
Judge W. A. Ehgoetz of a chase at
speeds of up to 110 miles per hour
last November. -
Const. Newman said he began
following Bradley after the
youth's car began making un-
necessary noise.
High speed, disobeying ,stop
signs,' driving on the wrong side
of the road and driving over side-
walks were all described to the
court as part of Bradley's driv-
ing.
Const. Newman testified he
was not able to identify the driver
but this obstacle was overcome
by another Listowel police of-
ficer, Wayne Merrifield.
Const. Merrifield said he saw
the car going about 70 miles per
hoar and decided to begin chas-
ing him.
After chasing the car at speeds
of up to 80, the off-duty officer
said "I lost my nerve."
Judge Ehgoetz told defence
lawyer, Gerald Gross of Listowel,
not to argue that there had not
been dangerous driving.
"It will be a total, utter waste

A hew $180,000 luxury cruiser
the "M.S. Lady Winnipeg", is be-
ing launched on Winnipeg's Red
River to meet an increasing de-
mand for sightseeing in this his-
toric area of Manitoba.. •
Many tourists in Winnipeg dur-
ing the.summer want, to see
Lower Fort Garry, but dn't have -
time to go on a river cruise and
tour the city as well. Taking; a
boat to the Fort could . solve• the
problem. -
The cruises will start when the
river locks open in May or June.
The Fort itself opens in mid-May
and closes in. mid-September.
The "Lady Winnipeg" will be
