The Goderich Signal-Star, 1957-08-22, Page 4Indicate AG Misled Re So -Called 'Blast' .Rowney -General Kelso Roberts jutted into the headlines over the Week -end when he criticized a re- mark which was attributed to Mag- istrate D. E. Holmes, of Goderich, IV the Londcu newspaper. The attorney -general may have jumped in a little too early with eommnents this time, since an investigation has revealed that the wily newspaper's account was very t islea&ng. A careful cheek of the transcript of evidence given :u Walkerton police court last Friday, when the tiaagistrate made the remark, throws an entirely different light on the matter. The daily newspaper stated that Magistrate Holmes "blasted the use of unmarked Provincial' Police cruisers." When the attorney -general was asked whatzhe thought about the magistrate's "blast," he said he was "most surprised" at the magis- trate. Apparently without checking the daily .iewspaper's account, Attor- ney -General Roberts went • (01 to say: "I'll thank that magistrate to keep such view: to himself and deal w,th thein through the proper channel;." The attorney -general said the use of unmarked police cars was "a sound one" and widespread throughout the continent Another reporter. who checked the transcript of the Walkerton court proceedings this week. dis- .eovered that the original news re port had been quite misleading Had the attorney -general taken the time to check the report before he commented, there is some doubt whether he would have commented at all. How It Began The whole misunderstanding be. gar whets Magistrate Holmes re- 9duced a charge of careless driving against Edmund Bosman, of Wing - ham, to speeding. The magistrate did not make any statement "blasting" use of unmarked police cars in general. He did say that he did not favor use of an unmarked car in an in- stance such as the particular case he was dealing with. The daily newspaper neglected to mention that Bosman was chased and stopped by police in an un- marked car at 2.20 o'clock in the morning. It also did not mention that Bosman had been chased earlier that night by another car, so could have .mistaken the un- marked police ear for the auto that chased him before. flossmai said he was afraid the green car trying to flag him down belonged to someone trying to rob hirci. While the magistrate indicated that use of an unmarked ear was not the wisest thine in this; par- ticular case, lie ;aid nothing •to the caret that there is .nything wraria with unmarked police cars being used on day shifts or for other •-pecial duties. 1Iaeiatrate I1)110(5 has been tak- ing 1he1/4%weeklty courts at Walker - son in place of the regular Bruce County magistrate, who has been THE GODERICH SIGNAL -STAR Pastry Artist A model of the Sunset Hotel and the grounds surrounding it i,s being made by Hans Reihe- auaa>ib, baker at the Sunset Hotel.

He staggered from the granary, his left shoulder and arm seared by the bolt. A threshing crew doused a small fire at a nearby pile of straw and took Mr. Phillips to a doctor's office in Lucknow. After treatment for buries, he was allowed to go o the home of his parents, Mr. and 4'Mrs. Herman Phillips. Members of the threshing crew that said ifrom • the bolt came e a thundercloud which passed over the Ashfield Township farm at about 6.30 pm. 1 The bolt toasted and wrinkled electric wiring and knocked Mr. Phillips off his feet. Light bulbs I n a house near the barn were blown from their soakets by the i lightning. • TEST -SHOP A&P FOR A FULL WEEK o 0 0 Abe DEEP -C SPE(IALS! Tho Round Shredded Wheat Reg.

On Aug- ust 12th, despite tine rain that tried to spoil the recent days, the Scouts, arm in .rm, talking and singing, made their way towards the large, arena. All the Scouts wercRmust- eyed. A central gangway was made and it was down this pathway be- tween the ranks of their brother Scouts of all nations that a young Scout of each nation came forward to receive a plaque on behalf of his nation. Accompanying each of these Scouts was a British Scout holding the colors of the nation of his companion. On the large plat- form stood General Sir Rob Lock- hart, Camp Chief of J.I.M. and his deputy, Fred Huril, and to them, with all the flags blowing came the Scout representatives from each of the nations reps esented there. It was simple, dignified and mem- orable. Behind the dins in the Royal Box were Lord Rewalltai, the Chief Scout for the' ''British Common- wealth and Empire and the Chief Guide, Lady Baden Powell. After the plaques were present- ed and the flags were ringed about tine platform (as lovely as a flower garden) Fred ,Huril brought Lady B. -P. to the platform amid tremend- ous applause. It was a very dark night, but a spotlight pick -ed out this famous person in Scouting and Guiding today. 0 After a very appropriate speech hoth English and French, she invited all the. Scouts, each in his own language, to take the Scout Promise. At this moment, one felt that this was the justification for all the months of hard work and pre- paration, all the long journies, all the excitement in both sunshine and rain! It was both a solemn and happy moment! And then suddenly there was an outburst of fireworks!

Van der Meer, of Goderich. The w nnifg tickets on a wide range of prizes were drawn Sattir- day night at the wind-up of the fourth annual Godnrieh-Trade Fair. "I bought 25 tickets altogether," said Mr. Van der Meer. The ticket "that won the major prize was bought about one week before the draw from Bill Kirkey, a fellow employee at the garage of Reg. McGee & Sons. - Bi11 receives $100 for selling the winning ticket. - Mr. Van der Meer, who wasn't at the fair when his name was call- ed, plans to take the $100 monthly settlement, which will net him $1,200, in preference to taking an immediate cash settlement of $1,000. He says he has no special plans as regards using the prize mcne-y. Mr. Van der Meer, father of six children, lived in Goderich Town- ship for several years before mov- ing to town about two years ago Winner Of Doll Mrs. Archie Johnston, of Britan- nia road, was the winner of a bride doll andwandrobe in a draw sponsored by the Kinettes. She says her friends have been razzing her this week since two out-of- town newspapers gave her age as 14 in mentioning that she had won the doll. Though a bit flattered, Mrs. Johnston says she is really not that young. There were 25 "penny draws" and the winners are listed below.

Probably 'everyone has heard about the flood that hit the Jam- boree. The Jamboree was turned into a large muddy swimming and many of the campers w forced to leave their camp. Ac ally the reason that many were forced to leave their tents was because it had rained previously and the ground was saturated with water. Thus, when, the rain fell it, did not soak into the ground. Most of the trenches that were dug to run the rain away from the tents overflowed and the water backed up into the tents. When I awoke that night there were two to three inches of watef in our tent. Most of our bedding was soaked sowe got up, put on our bathing suits paid left to help other speech lingered on. She had said; "The end is only the beginning." On Saturday, August 10, Lord Rowallan, Chief Scout, was present- ed witll,,,.an oil painting of himself by the Scouts of the British Com monwealth of Nations. His wife, Lady Rowallan, for missing her husband during his many long tours of the Commonwealth and Empire on Scouting duties, was presented with a replica of the Scout Supporter badge. It was all platnum, set with diamonds, quartz -topaz and tourmalines.This was only a small token of appreciation to these two outstand- ing personalities in the Scout movement. One thing that is very important lrge gathering is food. Jamboree will rememblr is the friendship• aand kindness of our British brothers in Scouting, .

Special food requirements were dealt with in connection with rae- ial and religious obligation . Kosher foods were distributed to the Jewish Scouts and additional rice to many Asiatic Scouts, The Canadian Scouts asked for and received additional milk supplies. Of course the catering staff had to see that no pork was offered to Mohammedans and no beef to the Hindus. There is a story told about the Jamboree that a Somaliland Scouter requested a supply of camel meat and he was promised that the supply would arrive on August 18th. The Jamboree closed on August 12th. I wonder if he is still waiting? It bas been necessary to keep records of all expenditures, etc., and it is interesting to note that by the close of the Jamboree some - Where between £160,000 and £180,000 or somewhere between $428,800.00 and $4182,400.00 in Canadian dollars have been spent on food and that £50,000 or $134,000.00 in Canadian dollars were spent on ,equipment for use by the catering staff. It is said that 90 per cent of the food had to be ordered without any prior knowledge -of the prices to be charged' by wholesalers, this August.

Who system. The Rainey system was intro- duced into Council discussions for the first time a few weeks ago It was estimated that it might cost $210,000, so Council decided to ask the consulting engineers, James F. MacLaren Associates, of Toronto, for a report,., cu whether it could be adapted to this town's water system or not. Iii the meantime, Council has made no change in its previous decision to proceed with a proposal to construct a $382,750 water plant financed through theOntario Water Resources Coinmissicn. Councillor Robertson also asked about progress on the Weal paving program. it was announced some time ago that the public wearies committee had authorized paving ,af Harbor Hill and certain con- necting roads at an estimated cost of $15,000. Laois Oontraet:ng, of Holmes- ville, was to supply hot mix ma- terial for the jab. In reply to his question, Coun- cillor Robertson was informed that provincial regulationsstate that the town must obtain three com- petitive bids before work proceeds. Tenders havebeen called, Said S. H.
