William Thomas Graham had filed suit for damages resulting from an accident and received $1,194.15 in the judgment hand- ed down by Mr. Justice R. I. Ferguson, Graham, 57, of 538 Masson street, Oshawa, said that he walked "'five to six miles per day" at his job. He said that on the evening of Jan. 4, 1963, he was on his way to cash his pay cheque at the Bank of Commerce Branch on Simcoe street north. He said that he had parked his car on a service station lot on the east side of Simcoe street at Robert street, and then pro- ceeded to cross Simcoe to the bank. a It was dark and the streets were wet and he proceeded to a point approximately 150 feet north of the,service station be- fore: attempting to cross the road, the court was informed. After letting one northbound car pass, he claimed he did not see any other cars southbound and a car proceeding north was Robert street.

By MARY OSBORNE (Times Staff) The groundhog goofed this year. His Feb. 1 prediction of six weeks of winter weather proved a conservative esti- mate, as snowfall and low temperatures continued to plague winter-weary Whitby and area residents to the nd of March. Some: oldtimers, refuting early spring complaints, in- sist this part of Ontario never had it so warm at this time of year. But statistics proved them wrong. Temperatures, which reached a balmy 69 degrees March 30, 1963, plunged to a low of 12 degrees for the same date in 1964. A high of 27. degrees March 31 also compares poorly with last year's high of 48.

And for Harry Brennan, Fairview Lodge resident, this was "the mildest winter ever". He recalls that "'four- and-a-half feet of snow" blanketed the ground in mid-March 18 years ago.

He said that he was driv: about 25 miles an hour noticed road, He stated that he had applied the brakes but had been too late. A bank of "brilliant flood- lights" on the service station lot near the scene created a "'blind spot" on the road past the point where the lights did not luminate, he said. He added that further reasons for not seeing Mr. Graham were that the road was wet and black and that Mr. Graham had been wearing dark clothing. Martin Muller, 887 Simcoe north, said he was driving' south on Simcoe street and had seen Graham crossing the street. JURY WAS DISMISSED He said he wa@ just past the north bound truck when the ac- cident occurred and that he had stopped at the scene. When asked if he had been questioned about the incident by anyone Muller said that an in- surance investigator had been to see him. Mr, Justice Ferguson said that the statement about the in- surance man ended the useful- a dark il- ness of the six-man jury and dismissed them and continued with the case. He explained. the reason for the jury dismissal when handing down judgment as a direct piece of information that the defend- ants, Muller and Jackson Sup- plies, were insured. Mr. Justice Ferguson ruled that the accident had been 85 per cent the fault.of the pedes- trian and 15 per cent against' the driver of the ruck. He said that the plaintiff had been crossing the street in an "ynusual place" and that a motorist driving in heavy traf- fic at 5.45 p.m. would not ex- pect to see him there. He added that the combina- tion of wet, dark road, Gra- ham's dark clothing and the "blurred spot" caused. by the lights on the service station con- tributed to the accident. He said that he felt that the | muss, driver of the truck was "not keeping as perfect a lookout as (circumstances involved in the C\larger percentage of fault on the THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, April 2,1964 § 'the law requires" but that the accident indicated to him a part of the pedestrian. He added that damages suf- fered by Graham were substan- ial but that he felt that all of the expense incurred by the complication of the fracture by infection was not the fault of the truck driver. Expenses up to the time of re- lease from the hospital the first time, he said, were "just", but further expenses were not. Mover Rem $40 From Is Remanded Allen Elchysen was a mover.
