WHITBY DAY - BY - DAY ~ No Blame Attributed In Dunbarton Fatality WHITBY (Staff)--A coroner's jury, here Monday night, found John Joseph Ducasse, 66, Aud- ley: Ka., Pickeriag Township, SEE a Ry We ea fe the result of a ruptured aorta after being struck by an auto driven by John Thomas Lackie, Glenrose Dr., London, Ont. The accident occurred on the westbound lane of the Mac: donald - Cartier Freeway, four miles east of Fairport Rd., Pickering Township. The dark clothing worn by the deceased and his lack of knowledge of traffic were listed as contribut- ing factors. : Coroner Dr. F. A. Cuddy dis- agreed with the jury's sugges- tion that if Mr. Lackie had been travelling in the right hand lane rather than the passing lane; the accident might not have occurred. "I can't agree the accident! might have been avoided be- cause you don't know where Mr. Ducasse was on the high- way. I don't think Mr. Lackie|when he saw him at the Ajax| was driving illegally,' said Dr. Cuddy. Mr. Lackie told the inquest he was on his way to Toronto, from the Kingston area, and 60 miles an hour. He did not see Mr. Ducasse before the One of Ducasse's ribs sunotuved the artery leading from the heart, Dr. Cass, path- ologist at the Ajax - Pickering General Hospital, said. He also listed multipe fractures of the arms and legs as contributing factors. An analysis of blood and urine samples showed no evidence of alcohol. Mrs. Ducasse said her hus- band was working as watchman at a school construction site west of Frenchman's Bay and was on his way to Highway 2 to catch a bus to return home when the accident occurred. Evidence was also adduced that the vehicle, driven by Mr. Lackie, had no mechanical de- 'fects. Its brakes and steering gear were in good condition. OPP Constable T. Shand, who |investigated the accident, said \there was no evidence of alco hol on Mr. Lackie's breath Hospital. The accident; he said, occurred where a closed path led up to the highway. The 'end of the path was fenced: off By H. L, FAIR Ontario County Agricultural Representative (This is the finai article dealing with the visit of a | @utaria Junior Farmer giou. to the British Isles and Eu- ppe during the past s:mmer.) The Ontario Junior Farmers came into Edinburgh, June 20, from the various Scottish farm homes, where they had been visiting for two weeks, to attend the Royal Highland Show. The first of the Royal High- land Shows was held in Edin- burgh in 1822, and with few exceptions; and these were mainly during the war. years; the Highland was held annually at different centres throughout Scotland over a period of 137 years. In 1958, the Royal High- land and Agricultural Society purchased the estate of Inglis- ton, about seven miles north- west of Edinburgh, as a per- jmanent show site. | Since the property was pur- chased nine years ago, many improvements have been made \to the grounds, Several perma- nent buildings have been erect- ed and much paving of road- ways done.

They were all prize winners and champions in their various classes, The City of Edinburgh has many places of historical inter- est, we visited as many as the time would allow. Our first visit was. to Edinburgh Castle. All of Edinburgh's history seems to be roo d in the Castle, the origins cf which go back to the bronze age. St. Margaret's Chapel, the oldest existing building within the Castle, was founded in the lith Century and is the oldest building in the city, Also within the castle is the Scottish War Memorial, the united services museum for those interested in armor, and the Great Hall is also worth a visit. In the Crown Chamber are kept the Scottish Regalia, or the Honors of Scotland. From the castle, the Royal |Mile stretehes down to Holy- jrood.

Except for a few workemen's cottages almost hidden in the woods, the castle is isolated. While in the north of Scotland in Banffshire, we had the pleasure of visiting John Gill and his family. Many farmers here, particularly Junior Farm- ers, will remember John Gill as the assistant agricultural representative in Ontario County about 10 years ago. He returned to the home farm near McDuff and, with his father, they uperace a large 400-acre farm. Each year they grow 200 acres of barley and 30 acres of potaioes, mostly as cash jcrops; they also grow 20 acres of turnips for feed. When we were there they had 125 steers on pasture, and 1,100 sheep and lambs. John and Eileen wished to be remembered to their many friends in Ontario. We erent a short time in \North Wales with our head- quarters at Denbeigh. A high- light of our visit was a drive over the Denbeigh Moors, then around Mount Snowdon to the old Castle at Caernarvon, It will likely be at Caernarvon Castle in the not too distant future that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth will officially bestow the Title, Prince of Wales, on Prince Charles, FARM TOURS On our way south from Den-| Orono District Schools Have Larger ORONO (TC) -- It was back to school for both elementary and secondary students, Sept, 6, with local schools conducting registrations.
