according to police 20 Years Ago A 15yearold Georgetown resi dent was cleared of attempted murder charges by reason of in sanity Charged after a May stabb ing in which an unnamed woman was stabbed over 30 times the youth was brought to court with a local lawyer representing him Surprisingly enough the lawyer brought no evidence pertaining to the case instead he relied on the testimony of Crown witness Stanley Hrab a psychiatrist at the Clark Institute of Psychology in Toronto where the young offender was sent for days of observation after the stabbing occurred The trial lasted only three hours Three quarters of that time was taken for deliberation by the all male jury The youth was found not guilty and was remanded to the hospital for the criminally insane in 10 Years Ago The abandoned Toronto Interna tional Raceway on the Fifth Line just north of Highway was torn up by the company which owned it Investments Ltd The decision to destroy the raceway came after prodding from town council and angry letters from concerned citizens about the dangers of drag racing and the noise The company who owned the track had constantly broken pro mises to stop the drag racing The police could not make ar rests because the racing was tak ing place on private propety but after a letter was received from allowing them to make arrests they were balked by the town council It was their belief that arrests would only lead to an unwanted confrontation and in stead offered the most likely solu tion to post guards at the entrance to the raceway This way there would be no trespassing
