Money from the raf fie will purchase more small chairs for the children. Rev. and Mrs. Jack 1H11l and Jon of Columbus were Friday evening dinner guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Kelly.

These bills give for- mal recognition ta the fact that offenses under provincial statute law are, for the most part, regulatory, and that it is wrong in principle ta d eal with thern autarnatically in the sarne pracedural strearn as offenses un- der the Crirninal Code. This concept flows frorn the recognition that the persan who breaches an Ontario law need not be treated as if he or she were a dangerous crirninal.* This legislation will rernove rnany of the McGregor, IDA, Bantam l Win Opening Pla'yoff coa This Bowmanville Bantam Second team travelled to Stouffville Feb. 2 to meet in their first game of a best of 3 playoff schedule and came away with a 3-2 win. The first period ended with both teams scoring twice on goals by ScQtt Ward and Trevor Martyn with assists going to Hugh Francis, Brian Strong and Troy Wood for Bowmanville. Stouffville goals went to Glen Lewis from Patrick Duncalfe and Dale Leger from Blair Housser. The second period saw one, goal scored by Scott Michel- son from Scott Ward and Hugh Francis. This rounded out the scoring. This was a good, hard checking, fast skating ga-ie piayed by both teams, which saw excellent play by Derek Laurie who seems to be improving more leach time out, and 110 per cent efforts by Scott Ward, Hugh Francis and shaky legs Michelson the rest of the team managed to play at 101 per cent. Steve Skene in the nets came up with his usual outstanding game, his partner Chris De Sousa will be in goal for our next game Monday, Feb. 5 at 7 p.m. in Hampton. Penalties in this game, 9 Bowmanville, 6 Stouffville, al penalties were well deserved and could have been higher except for the fine officiating in this game by the officials.

The accused will still have the right to a full trial but the legisiation provides a number of less formaI rnethods of dealing with rninor provincial offenses. As an example, con- sider the position of a persan charged with a minor highway traffic_ offense. At present, that person rnay pay the fine out of court, appear in court to defend or ex- plain, or take no action, in which case he or she will be tried in his or her absence. Under the new legislation, a person charged could still at his or her option have a full trial of the issue or pay the fine out of court. But in addition the defen- dant could either: 1. Drop in at the court at his convenience at any tirne prior to the date set for trial to plead guilty before a Justice of the Peace and offer an explanation in mitigation of the penalty, or 2. Plead not guilty by 'mail, sirnply by mailing in his or her side of the story. If a Justice of the Peace deterrnined that the explanation disclosed a legal defen- ce to the charge, he could, without the per- son accused having to attend, require the Crown to prove its case fully at a trial, with par- ticular attention being paid to the defence raised in the letter. The person charged would not, therefore, have to, take tirne off work or in- cur travel expenses to have, the defences raiýed. Offenses covered un- der the legisiation are traffic, liquor, municipal bylaw and other non-crirninal of- fenses. This legislation at- ternpts to correct the long-stainding problerns of persons charged with relatively rninor offen- ces being processed together with more severe off enders. I arn sure Sgt. Don Matthews of The On- tario Regirnent will be able to operate under this new legislation when it cornes into force as well as he operated the Regirnent's Annual Members' Mess Dinner. jýu.ý PO.IIONSEE HUE FRE,199 EED &:ARDENBOOe I I I I I I Canada's favorite Seed (316 in full color); loade( Canadian climate: 12 vegetables, luscious ton many new exclusive var services of a long-estat There is also a complete 38 %Ma 1 âd arenRrokoris forI the askft.,180na Ws hunresof ilust- --on dc with helpful gardening information; complete listings of seeds best suited t0 new Al-America Selections Award Wininers, succulent corns, Gourmet ,natoes, tender beans, colorful asters, marigolds, zinnias, gladiolus, etc. plusM ieties, accomplishments of the scientists' skîlI and plant breeders' art, andM blished organîzation continuously devoted f0 interests of Canadien gardeners. esection of garden aîds anîd accessories.
