SIGNIFICANT "The most significant thing that has happened this year," he said, 'thas been the exer- cising of our option to pur- chase the museum property. This could not have been pos- sible without the support of 38 businessmen, who pooled their resources. to raise sufficient funds to secure the mortgage. "~,., Col. R.

Testimony showed the de- ceased was proceeding east in heavy traffic which slowed sharply to be funnelled into one lane for the paving operation. He was unable to slow quickly enough, his car skidded out of control, hit the gravel shoulder, hurtled across the median and rolled over head-on into a west- bound vehicle. The driver of this car, Mrs. Irene Campbell, Toronto; went to hospital: severe- ly injured. The jury found death due to School Dances Draw Protests A parent protesting school dances for grade seven~ and eight pupils in separate schools, says many of today's prob- lems with children result from giving them "too" much too soon." In a, letter to the Oshawa separate - school "board _ last night, the complaintee said she had "betrayed her own con- science" by allowing her child to attend one of the dances. "At the time, I didn't have the courage of my convictions to Construction accident and recommended that definite regulations be estab- lished as to where warning signs should be placed and the dis tance they should be from the actual construction. They recommended that responsi- bility for such signs be in the hands of the department of highways or the OPP and failure to c&mply be punishable} by law. They also recommended that on high speed controlled access highways the shoulders should be widened and paved similar to Highway 401 north of Toronto and a guard rail or heavy fence be installed between the west- bound and eastbound lanes to prevent vehicles from-- crossing into the opposite lane. Jim McDonnell, foreman of} Lightfoot Construction and Hastings Paving, said he was away in a mobile car at the time but that he had a full com- plement of workers that day. Half an hour before the fatal- ity OPP Constable K. C. Laton, noting the pile-up of traffic, en- quired of the workman in charge why there were only two signs out and no flagman. He was told that they were short of workers that dey and that some of the signs had been knocked over. The only signs were one at Ritson Road, Osh- awa, "Highway Construction for 9.8 miles" and one at the top of the hill immediately be- fore the paving operation "Highway Construction" and say no," she said, 'but now I. think I should protest that these dances be allowed in the schools at all.

"T have no fault to find with your verdict at all," said Judge Alex Hall. He remanded March in cus- tody until Dec. 8 at 10:30 a.m. for sentencing and asked for a pre-sentence record. He repeat- ed a belief he had expressed the previous day: "As far as sentence, there's very great lat- itude left to me. In a situation like this, I feel retribution has no place whatsoever." March's wife, Pamela June, 23, had pleaded guilty the pre- vious day to the-charge of pos- session of a narcotic. POCKET Mrs. March had_ indicated that she had bought the $50 bottle of morphine in Montreal but police evidence revealed in court that the investigating offi- cers had found the bottle of morphine and a syringe in Mr. March's pocket. March's counsel, in address- ing the jury, asked them to con- sider only the bottle or mor- phine and the syringe and to forget all the needles, drugs, and equipment found in the ar 'ar. Of March, he said, 'He has lived honorably amongst you for 30 years . . . He has an un- besmirched pecord." Crown Attorney Hugh O'Con- nell attacked the suggestion as to how the morphine got into Mr. March's pocket. "Can you statement that it may have rolled into his pocket . is that an insult to your in- telligence?"' O'Connell suggested, "He's letting her take the rap, a frail young woman of 23." With respect to the possibility of March being involved with | drugs." PATHETIC Judge Hall, in charging the jury, said, "It's very difficult for me to believe that any per- son sets out deliberately to be- come an addict." "Both of these accused are! personable people it's! pathetic ... Mrs, March is a pitiful object, having small chil- dren." After close to four and a half hours of considering the evi- dence the jury returned to hear the testimony of Constable Paul Barkley of the Whitby police read out. Barkley and another officer had discovered the Whit- by couple and the morphine in a car at a Whitby gas station on April 30. | They then retired until they| returned with the guilty verdict.)
