The vote ofi a plebiscite on whe- ther Bowmanville should appoint a recreational director was nearly two to one in favor of the project, the vote being 1012 to 577. Much of the credit for the record vote cast goes to the Bowmanville | Chamber of Commerce, which waged a vigorous campaign to stimulate in- terest in the election, securing can- didates to contest the various offi- ces, and conducting a drive to bring cut a heavy vote.

Twelve | men were finally chosen, the three charges were read to the accused who pleaded not guilty, Charges | were: That MacDonald on October 6, 1946, stole a quantity of tools from | the store of A. G. Button, of Ux- | bridge; that, MacDonald, on the same date stole a carpenter's tool box and contents from Percy Mil- | ler, of Uxbridge, and that on: No- | vember 14, 1946, heifig on bail he failed to present himself, Changes Plea At that point a consultation was | held between Judge Coleman, Crown Attorney Alex Hall and Mr. Riddell, in the judge's chambers. When it was over and court re- sumed, counsel for the defence sald | that his client wished to plead | guilty on all three counts. MacDonald's trouble, said his counsel, could be traced to liquor. He had been in trouble all his life and many of 'his friends had tried to change his ways. He himself took a personal interest in the case and had come a long way to act. Actually MacDonald was guilty of the offenses of which he was ac- cused, Mr. Riddell said. However, he doubted very much if the man, who was a bottle a day man, was | fully cognizant of the fact that he | | did break the law 2% the time he | | committed them. Described as a "wayward boy who has gone astray," MacDonald was | throwing himself on the mercy of the court, the barrister stated. Outlines Record Crown Attorney Alex Hall out- | lined the criminal. record of the | "wayward boy." It began in 1924 when he was sentenced to two and a half to five years when convicted of larceny in Detroit. He was de- ported to Canada in 1926 and then | again, in 1935 was convicted in the | | United States, fornia, for illegal entry. There | were several theft convctions in| | Oshawa in 1937 and anothér one, of | | receiving in Whitby for which he! | was sentenced to two years. There was a robbery count in Tillsonburg, | car theft charges and at least one | .of false pretence. Following his conviction in Ux- | bridge on two theft charges, Mr. | by said, bail of $2,000 was provid- | | ed by Mrs. Mary Hoffman, of To- | the Crown that MacDonald might be | found in Florida and when the ad- | dress was supplied them, U. 8, im- migration authorities picked the man up. He was sentenced to serve two years in an American prison for illegal entry. Since his release and subsequent apprehension by Canadian police, MacDonald has been in -jail, Alto- gether since he was picked up in Florida he has served two years and three months--all for two minor theft charges. Liquor scemed to be at the roo; of the matter, Judge Coleman said. It was time the accused stopped drinking for life. Sentence was six | months definite. and six indefinite on each charge, all to be served concurrently. | ronto.
