BAYFI ELa
The Pioneer Park Association's
10th annual conlinunIty .rum-
mage sale, held last week in the
Bayfield town hall, raised $214,
it was announcedSunday. The
funds are needed to keep up a
public park set aside some years
ago by cottagers and villagers.
Funds raised at this yea'ly
sale are used for the Mainten-
ance and improvement of one of
the only large lake 'front lots
left in Bayfield.
Ten years ago a group of near-
ly 75 cottagers and villagers pur-
chased 'the traot known then as
"The Signal Point". At that
time erosion was •unchecked on
the cliff and each year many feet
of the land was lost.
During the past 10 years the
•organization ilea paid for the in-
stallation of groyne work in tete'
lake and drainage tiles on the
cliff, These have almost checked
all erosion, and have caused a
sandy stretch of beach to form
at the foot of the cliff, Steps are
maintained for bathers to this
popular swimaling' spot.
Constable George Little and
provincial police from Goderich
are investigating the theft of
money from several cars parked
in Bayfield Sunday afternoon.
While motorists were bathing,
thieves broke into looked cars,
ignored valuable watches -and
jewellery but stole 'any •money
they could find in clothing, or
locked glove compartments which
were pried open. .
Police have . warned, all bathers
to leave valuables at home nor
take tlieni with them when ,they
park their cars,

For today's farming you need the
new features of
Massey -Ferguson machines
Today new farming methods; new
technical developments and new
engineering advances bring con-
stant change and improvement in
tractors, combines and other farm
machines.
Old style machines can't give you
the ease of handling(and speed you
want, they don't have the labour
saving features you need and they
don't give you the money -making
ability to help you farm profitably.
Obsolete equipment doesn't have
what is needed to meet the demands
of farming today.
Move ahead with the latest
Massey -Ferguson machines and
free yourself of the handicap of
trying to fafm modern with out of
date equipment. Ask your local
Massey -Ferguson dealer for full
particulars about the latest models.

ATOMIC POWER SITE
IN BRUME
Announcement was made fast
week that the 'Ontario Hydro El-
ectric Power Commission is con,
sidering a site in Bruce County
for Canada's first large scale nu-
clear power plant, in opnjuna-
tion with Atomic Energy of Can-
ada Ltd.
It is stated that •options have
been taken on several properties
on Lake Huron some 15 miles
north of ,Kincardine. Plans ap-
parently are for a ,plant of some
200,000 'kilowatts, with the ob-
ject of having it in service by
early 1965, at 'a cost estimated
at $80,000,000.
When in operation the station
will' be staffed by the REPO
which will purchase the power:
After it has been demonstrated
that the station can be ,operated
as part of the.' Hydro system, the
Commission will .purchase the
plant.
It is anticipated that power
can be produced at a price com-
petitive with that of modern
coal-fired :plants;
The site of the proposed sta-
tion where land options have
been obtained, is said to be north
of tete new Provinolal Park at
Inverhuron, and south of Bale
de Dore, The shore lime is rocky
and has been long e favorite

Urges Permit
Insurance
1'larold Finlay, tilt 3 Zuriol
can tell the awful truth lapin
the 'slogan "An accident to ieSt
word ,mail you have one,"
He was' involved in a traffl
crash ,on 4114)111 20, 1953,. 13is wig
was killed, himself and two chi
dren hospitalized emir- othe
children luckily escaped injury.
Since then, he's been dogge
with months of personal surge.
ing and complex court fights. Ad
to this the 'difficulty of a 'nnotl
erless home and a farm to ops
ate and .the full impact of hi
plight comes close to ,focus—bu
not very Diose. No one kno
what Harold Finlay has ' you
through,
His story isn't a .pleasant of
and he tells it with i'eluottance
There's only one reason he'll al.
low it to be'published: he feels
the public should be aware of the
problems that eau arise from tra•
ffic accidents, iso common now
many view then apatll'etioally.
His major concern is the need
for compulsory auto' insurance.
"I'll go •further than that," he
states. "We ehould have permit
insurance. Every person' should.
have insurance* before he is al-
lowed ,to have a driving permit."
"As it is now, those of us who
pay heavy premiums year after
year aro the losers if we have an
accident with someone who has
not bothered to get insurance,
'.those who have paid nothing
get the fu11 benefit; we'who buy
inenranee can recover little."
Mr. Finlay is concerned, too,
with the legal technicalities
through which insurance com-
panies are released Orem respon-
sibility, technicalities with which
the general public cannot cope.
"I always believed this was a
land of law and justice. I know.
now it's a land of law but I'm
not etre •of the justice—it ap-
pears to me it's pretty ,well
stretched."
The Hay township farmer and
his family have been awarded
some $31,485 in damages by a
supreme court. But, contrary to
the belief of some, they haven't
received a •oent of R. And it .may
be they won't receive nearly that
much nor any part of it for
years,
In the meantime, of course,
there has 'developed a big baok-
log of debts "that keep you a-
wake at night:' '
"It's not very pleasant to be
owing to people."
The court placed 90 per cent of
thevresponsibility of the accident
which occurred near Poplar' Hill,

Mr. Finl'ay's insurance com-
pany has long since ,paid 'his
share •of 10 per cent but the other
portion is embroiled in further
legal action.
The oar Layng was' driving
was owned by a cousin, Margaret
Campbell. She was willed it by
her mother who •died January 20,
1958. While the another had
paid for insurance ,for a period
extending beyond the date of the
accident, the insurance company
has declined to 'pay on the
grounds that the .insurance dies
when the person for whom it is
issued :dies.
Mr. Finlay's lawyers have sued
the company and the case has
been heard. But the judge has
reserved judgement. There's no
indication when it will be hand-
ed down.
It's a precedent setting case
and one which may seriously af-
fect car drivers. If the judge
find's the law 'favors the company
it will mean that if a driver is
killed in an accident, his insur-
ance firm won't be responsible
for any of the damages incurred
by that driver.
If the .00mpany is held not re-
sponsible, the case may then go
to the unsatisfied judgement
fund, which will ocoasion furth-
er long delays,: as well as at least
a .two -third reduction in the
benefit.
Mr. 'Finlay has had other in-
surance problems. He had au
auto insurance policy which pro-
vided 'benefits for total disability.
From April 20, the day of the ac-
cident, until August 5, he could
not work •and the company paid
him for this period. However, on
August 5, the ,farmer's doctor un-
suspectingly suggested he try
some "light tractor work" to de-
termine if it was ,possible at all:
Someone saw him get on •the
tractor that day when he tried
two or 'three times to plow before
giving up. Although the test
proved he could not work at that
point, the fact that he did do
some—and someone SAW it-- the
.insurance company was legally
entitled to stop payment and it
did so.
These are some of the major
gal problems. There have been
