Lovekin, the his- torian of the Durham County Club of Toronto, delved into the pages of the "Good Old Days" when he included the following items in the club'sI program for their October meeting, which was reported in last week's Statesman: In 1826 taxation was at the rate of a penny in the pound in Hope for district purp9ses and 1/4 penny for the services of the local M.P. The highest tax paid by one person was! $15.37 and lowest, 3c. 28 rate-1 payers paid 8c or less. There is also the story of al 1 forgotten Durhamite who play- ed a significant role in the his- tory of the United -States. At; one time, Calvin H. Powers J published a paper in Neweasi tle and was an active pc tica figure in the campaigns at Munro. He later went to Min- nesota and became governor of the state. It was largely through his efforts that Abra- ham Lincoln was elected lead- er of the Republican Party and from thât position went on to the Presidency. There is also an interesting account of Port Granby ship- ping 10,000 bushels of barleyl in a day. Today, no remains of the port can be found. 'Years a.-o, stone-hookers removed the Stones in the cribs and sold thera in Toronto. . In another place. the writer says that the little meadow south of Orono was a beaver meadow and that in early times 8 or 10 deer could be seen suri- 1 ning themselves there. One of the pioneers of Orono. Eldad Johns, found a place in local history by refùsing to sell his wheat in a time of famine those with money, telling thein to go and pay the inflated prices.

Admissible Evidence Another complication in ad- ministering justice is that there is nothing in the Crim- inal Code to prescribe just what is properly admissible evidence. "For this reason we have a variety of judicial op- ,Inion on what is evidence, and what is admissible evidence", Judge Pritchard declared. "Onc, Judge may accept evidence as admissible which another would not admit at all". A goodly number ettended the November meeting of the Home & School Club held last Friday evening in the school.

Head Table Guesta He introduced the head table guests: Chairman Clare Garton of the Rural-Urban Commit- tee: Wallace Marlow, Chairman of the Blackstock Publie School Board; Rotary Secretary Jim Stutt; Wesley Sweet, Reeve of Cartwright Township; Jud.ge John E.

MeArthur, Chairman of the Blackstock High School Board; Rotarian Bruno Miller and Henry Thompson, Clerk of Cart- wright Township. Each Rotarian then introduc- ed his rural guests to the ga- thering. Mr. Ribey introduced Judge Pritchard, stating that he was born in Wellington County and educated at Harriston Higin School and the University of Toronto. He graduated frorn Osgoode Hall Law School in 1927 and practised law ir T ronto from 1927 to 1952 was named a King's Counsel in 1 i Judge John E. Pritchard 'l f He pQinted out that evidence must be direct evidence which the person sees or knows hin^i- self, Hearsay evidence that the witness bas obtained froin someone else Is not admissible. j In recent years, Judge Prit- 1 chard. said, there bas been an increasing tendency on the part of police officers to arrest a suspect and obtain a statement from him. Often this is the chief evidence of the prosecu- tion and the Crown bas little circumstantial evidence to back it up. The judge bearing the . case must rule whether these statements are admiss- ible or not, and he may rule they are not admissible if he feels that threats or induce- ments were made to the ac- cused to make him sign them.
