Under this legislation, in Ontario the owner of an elevator, dumb -waiter, escalator, manlift or incline lift must obtain an annual licence to operate the elevator or lift. The legislation further provides that only a person who holds a certificate of competency issued under the Act may make inspections of these installations in Ontario. In addition, contractors who construct, install, repair, or maintain elevators or lifts, etc., may now only carry on business in Ontario if they are registered under the Act. In order to comply with the legislation— Any person employed by an insurer to make inspections must make application immediately for a certificate of competency. OWNERS of elevators, dumb -waiters, escalators, manias or incline lifts must make application im- mediately for licence to operate their installations. CONTRACTORS must make application immedi- ately for annual registration. Licences and certificates of competency for the period ending December 31, 1954, are now available, and enquiries and requests for application forms should -be directed to the Chief Inspector, Elevator Inspection Branch, Department of Labour, Parliament Buildings, Toronto, Ontario.

Y,I Joseph Riop,i c J • ( Found, A6oidentat By Ju y The Toronto Star reports anee,. inquest held last- Wednesday into the June 13th shooting at St. Joseph as follows: Tile shooting of an Indian intru- der in a "bottle club" at St. Joseph, on Lake Huron on June 13, was declared accidental by a coroner's jury at Zurich Wednesday. The verdict declared that Clar- ence George, of the Kettle Point Reserve died of a gunshot wound fired by Hector Forcier, proprietor of the club, which police say, is one of the anomalies of the old Canada Temperance\ act still op- erative in Huron County. The ver diet was that Forcier fired the shot "accidentally" after a burglar alarm had gone off in his combined club, service station and grocery ,on the Blue Water Highway at 4:55 a.m. The ,bullet that killed George was a chance shot through a window, tired, Forcier said, without aiming at anything. The pellet shattered on the edge of a venetian blind, part penetrating George's chest and lung seconds after he reached to turn off an electric light. Other parts cut the wire, stopped the electric clock and fixed the time of the shooting. "We have every sympathy for the family of the deceased," the verdict said, "and the whole un- fortunate happening is a warning against the too free use of Are - arms. There are limits to the de- fence of property but after careful consideration of the evidence we feel that the actions of Hector Forcier were excusable." Two Companions Charged Nelson Bresetts and Eli Henry, George's companions, are in cus- tody. Bresgtte is charged with breaking and entering with intent to steal and Henry with having a part in the "conspiracy;' Coroner Dr. E. J. Milner, heard the nine witnesses, including George's widow, Betty, who said the 37 -year-old Indian and his com- panions'had been drinking heavily all day and after unsuccessful at- tempts to buy more beer from boot- leggers, had told her they were go- ing to "lift some beer" at Lake Huron resorts. Her husband was staggering when he left home, she said, and the other two were drunk. Henry swore they drove past Forcier's around 3 a.m. but kept going when they saw lights on, an orohestra playing and many people around. They drove on to Bayfield, burglarized a place and stole a couple of cases of beer which were handed out through .ad' window. Af- ter drinking some of their new sup- ply they arrived back at St. Jos- eph's, halted near Forcier's and walked on in the dark. Henry said he was instructed by his compan- ions "if we are not back in 20 min- utes, tail off with the car." Henry said he tell asleep and awakened at the crack of a gun which he told Crown Attorney Glenn Hay$ he took to be "a farmer shooting crow" at dawn. He left without picking up his companions. Robbed Several Times Bresette said they used an auto spring to-jimmey a door. They pil- ed half a dozen cases of beer for removal through a window and had a couple out when Bresette said he told George, "We better get out of here." George reached and turned out the light. Four seconds later, he said, a rifle cracked. George fell, muttered Bresette's name and died. Bresette was still in the place when Provincial Constable C. E: Gibbons arrived. Foreier said his place had been burglarized several times in the past three years. First $1,600 worth of batteries and tires were taken. Next $600 worth of groceries. Then blankets and tools. His dog died and, a six -months -old pup, kept to watch the place, was stabbed by burglars. His cash register was repeatedly looted. insurance com- panies withdrew his burglar insur- ance and he installed the burglar alarm that awakened him June 13. He said he raced from his home to the garage in a pick-up truck, carnying a .303 Lee Enfield rifle and leaving his wife to call police. "It was the first experience of the kind I ever had," Forcier testi- fied. "I had no time to think it out. It jarred me when the light went out inside and the first thing that came to my mind was to fire a shot through the window to let them know that I was armed and to scare them to stay till police came. Somebody was inside. I was a sitting duck outside. I fired from the hip at the window and not at anybody. I only thought to break the glass." Had No Malice Crown Attorney Hays asked if Forcier had any malice toward George, who previously had stolen a .pump, door mat and light bulbs. Forcier said he did not know nor recognize George and did not know of his identity till after the' shoot- ing. "Could it have been a desire for revenge or to inflict pain or death on whoever was in there, because of your anger over these things?" the crown asked. Forcier answered. "That is not my nature. 1 thought If I could get and hold somebody who was doing these things we could clear it up through the police." The mystery of bottle club oper- ation was explained by Huron rest- dents. It is illegal for a man to buy beer in a legal store and bring it into Huron County for his own use. But he can buy and bring it in for a friend. The friend can do as much for him. Several friends can bring it to one place and set up ts•club where each owner drinks what has been given to him. For- tier operates the club, cools and keeps the beer. Members who pay a membership fee, drop in to drink, each Brom his own case. Pollee say the law is a hangover of the half-eenttlry-old Canada Temper - ante Act.. (Continued from Page 2) tite was maintained at a. satielac- cry, level. No digestive disorders or pathological upsets were noted in either sheep or swine. Although the moulds found on he grains used in these trials hap- ened to be harmless, in practice t would be wise to either test mouldy feeds on one animal first r introduce mouldy grains into he ration gradually and keep a lose watch on the animals for any signs of digestive disturbances. t P 0 t c Car Overturns What might have been a more serious accident occurred to Mrs. Minnie Weido of London Saturday morning while travelling from Blake to the Zurich highway, about a mile north, when some loose gravel, some fog, and a narrow stretch of road near a culvert caus- ed her to loose control of her car and it rolled over in a. 11 -foot ditch upside down. A Mr. Denomme, of Michigan, happened along and pull- ed Mrs. Weido out of the car and was assisted by Clare Geiger in getting her to the top of the ditch. Mr. Denomme took the patient to Zurich, where she was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital, London, and is progressing very favorably The car was considerably damaged.— Zurich Herald. Celebrate Silver Wedding Rev. and Mrs. J. E. Ostrom celebrated their silver wedding anniversary on Saturday, June 26, when many friends called at their home to congratulate them. They were married on June 29, 1929, in High Park Baptist Church, Toron- to. Young Robert Ostrom answer ed the door to callers on Saturday, and his parents received them. Two sisters of Mrs. Ostrom poured tea, Mrs. A. G. Clarke and Mrs. R. A. Perigoe, both of Toronto. They were assisted in the dining - room by Mrs. Ostrom's sister-in- law, Mrs. R. E. Davey, and her two nieces, Miss Linda Perigoe and Miss Carol Clarke. Miss Nor- ma Thompson and Mrs. Donald Hancock, both of Georgetown, re- plenished the serving platters and prepared the tea in the kitchen. Tea was served from a daintily ar- ranged table, centred by a three- tier wedding cake and decorated by twin cornucopias, one pink and one blue, filled with pale pink peonies and roses and decorative ivy. A large number of friends'call- ed and left their greetings. Con- gratulatory cards and gifts of china and silver were received by the celebrating couple. — Clinton News -Record, jThel6tho consecutive GUARANTY TRUST Company of Canada DIVIDEND 150 a share - rate of 6% per annutir payable July 15th, 1954 to shareholders of record June 30, 1954 J.

In May voters voted about four to one against permitting beer or liquor outlets within the township borders. Thus did the people of Puslinch strongly affirm the last liquor vote, tak- en 40 years ago. The vote was on five questions: liquor sale from Government stores; beer sale from Government outlets; beverage rooms for men; bev- erage rooms for women; dining room sale of beer and wine. This victory was not won with- out hard work by a local com- mittee. Into every home went a pamphlet packed with facts about the issues at stake and challenging the propaganda of wet advocates. Some extracts follow: "Really now, is Pus- linch Lake (a delightful and popular summer resort) a good place to put a beer parlor? According to an estimate sup- plied by an O.P.P. officer, 70 per cent of the deaths due to accidents in 1952.were caused by drinking drivers. Dare we increase the hazard to our chil- dren? Remember, DRINKING PLACES ATTRACT DRINK- ING DRIVERS." Re taxes: "We hear a good deal of talk about how these outlets will help our taxes. The fact is they will COST US PLENTY in additional POLICE, WELFARE and other costa. . To get even one dollar of this tax, the Township must provide Police Protection. In cash terms—for each 10,000 gallons sold, the township Bete less than $200.. How mudh liquor and beer must flow be- fore the salary of even one policeman is paid?" A final note: "In 17 places in Ontario since September, 1953, where a vote was taken, the electors have maintained the dry status"--(Advt.).
