COURT HEARS
TRAFFIC CASES
Two charges of driving while
disqualified and one charge of im-
paired driving were aired in . mag
istrate's court here last week.
Donald James Goddard, of Gode-
rich, was fined $75 and costs or
three weeks in jail for driving
while his license was under sus-
pension. He did not ---appear in
court but a plea of guilty was
entered on his behalx by his
counsel.
The charge was laid after Mr.
Goddard was stopped by police in
Goderich on November 13.
Edgar R. Daer, 20, of R.R. 6,
Goderich, also pleaded guilty to
driving, while prohibited, but his
case was set over one week for
sentence. Crown Attorney H.
Glenn Hays said that this was the
second time this year that the
youth has been before the court for
the same type of offence. This
time he was charged after police
stopped the vehicle he was driving
in Colborne Township on Novena.
ber 4.
Albert V. Bimm, 25, of Goderich,
pleaded guilty to impaired driving
and was fined $75 and costs. or 10
days. llis driving license was sus-
pended for three months.
The eliarge was laid following
an incident in front of the local
police station on East street on
November '16, the" -court was told.
According to the crown attorney's
information, Bimm's vehicle came
close to colliding with another
auto, and some pedestrians had to
get out of the way in a hurry.
The next day, the driver apparent-
ly didn't remember this incident
and didn't know why he was being
detained by police.
. A charge against a party from
BIyth was dismissed. The magis-
trate intimated that if there had
been a comma in the right place,
the case might have proceeded.
However, the court was told that
there is no firm registered under
the exact name mentioned in the
charge.,
- This party was charged as being
the owner of a truck which did
not have proper brakes. The truck
was involved in a fatal accident in
Goderich but the driver was ab-
solved of any blame.' The court
was told" that the foot -operated.
brakes in the truck were in proper
working order but the emergency
brake was not working. There ap-
peared to be general agreement
among court officials that the con-
dition of the emergency brake
would not have had any effect on
the accident.

Meet To Disujss
Wheat Marketing
Plan To -night
An information meeting concern-
ing the proposed wheat marketing
plan is to be held in the Depart- -
ment ,of Agriculture board rooms
at ,Clinton tonight at 8.30 p.m.
Reginald Meyers, chairman of
the Ontario Wheat Producers'
Board, will address the meetin
which is sponsored by Huron Dis-
trict, Ontario Fanners' Union.
It is planned to hold a vote on
the wheat marketing plan in this
province on December 9. The
voters' lists contain some 20,00(1
names of prod iters.
All those vo sold wheat from
the 1956 crop for cash are eligible
to vote. 'If a grower's name is not
on the voters' list, he tray vote if
he can certify he is over 21 and
gold wheat in 1l56-57.
The wheat marketing plan will
go into effect if 60 percent of the
growers representing 51 percent
of those eligible to vote cast their
ballots in favor of it. '
The plan on which growers will
vote provides for collective bar-
gaining over minimum prices and
an equalization fund to remove
surpluses as they arise. It is sim-
ilar to the plan of the white bean
growers. A license fee of one cent
a bushel will pay adminictrat.ion
costs of the marketing board.
The plan doesn't contain a pro-
vision for establishing quotas for
marketing wheat. It provides that
producers twitl he paid by the buy-
er rather than through the local
marketing hoard.
It is expected that there will be
between 135 and 150 polling booth
set up in the province..
North Dakota
Pioneers Once
Lived At Goderich
• Mrs. Harry Tisdale, 202 Fenton
avenue, Grand Forks, North Da-
kota, hung a picture up in her
home recently which has great
sentimental value for her.
The picture hung on the walls
of the John Halcrow farm near
Bowesmont, North Dakota, for
many years. Mrs. Tisdale, the
former Miss Halcrow, was one of
eight girls and, two boys of the
Halcrow family which settled in
the Bowesmont, N. D., district.
Before that, however, they lived
in the Shetland Islands and it was
from there that they came to
Goderich, Ontario, to settle. From
Goderich, they moved to Bowes-
moht, North Dakota, about 1881.
Two Objectives brought the Hal-
crow family from the Shetland
Islands to Goderich, Ontario, and
thence to North Dakota. Mr. Hal-
crow wanted freedom from land-
lords and Mrs. Halcrow wanted to
get her husband away from the
ocean and other large bodies of
water.
The Grand Forks Herald con-
tinues the story as follows:
They had lived in the Shetland
Islands and four of the 11 children
born to them were born there and
one had died, before they left.
While the father farmed, he also
had a boat and went to sea for
herring and whaling, as far west
as Iceland. Those weeks and even
months; he was on the turbulent
north Atlantic were a time of sick-
ening anxiety for his 'wife. Neither
did he like the landlord who in
addition to his legal tax wanted a
few extras in the way of geese and
produce.
So in the face of Mrs. Halcrow's
fears of the ocean, they came to
Canada, locating in Goderich on
the east shore of Lake Huron,
another broad expanse which she
hated, as a menace. So they came
to the Red River Valley in North
Dakota, the first of a large party
from Goderich, as far from the
ocean as they could get.

Bruce Armstrong, Manager
Gone -rich Branch
Bank of Montreal
Even for a banker, figures can
be pretty cold things by themselves. I always find
that you have to look beyond them before you
can get a true picture of what they really represent
'... of what they mean in terms of people like you
and me - and our endeavours.
Take my bank's annual report for 1957, for instance.
The two -and -a -half billion dollars shown on deposit is
quite an impressive figure. But what's behind it ...
what does it represent?
The answer amounts to this: it represents the
money you have saved through your own industry
and thrift --- money which we use to finance enter
prises of every size and description . . ., to help
farmers, fishermen, businessmen, store -keepers,
schools, churches and industries to prosper and
grow.
In short, it is your rnonev that's helping build a
stronger, more prosperous Canada. Every dollar you
save at my hank plays an important role in the story
of our country's - and our community's - growth.
It's a role all of us can be proud of -- you( and 1
... and my bank.
