Thompson, the jurors found, was crushed to death when an overhanging lip of frozen ground, five feet across and more than twenty feet long, fell on him as he worked in an excavation on his father's farm. The proper method of removing gravel is covered by law as a means of protecting lives, Crown Attorney Newton said, after witnesses described the fatality. The only correct way, as both common sense and the law set out, is by terracing, or sloping the face of the pit, Mr. Newton continued. He declared action might be taken against pit operators where accidents 1 occur when the proper method ot removing gravel is not followed. Mr. Newton said that while the gravet from the pit in which the fatality occurred was being used for county rbads, the county was purchasing the gravel by the load and was not responsible for operation of the pit.

Since the club changed hands last December and the new owners decided own-your-players policy, business and service clubs and boosters' organizations have pledged their support. The appointment of Dan Howley was also a popular move. Howley is starting his seventh season as a Toronto Manager after an absence of three years. He first managed the Leafs in 1918, th)en for a fourf-year stretch from 1923 to 1926 inclusive, and again in 1933. He won pennants in 1918 and 1926. This year, Howley is building up a team from an excellent crop of youngsters seasoned with enough vete to provide the necessary experii So enthused has Toronto become over the showing of the 'Leafs in the Spring exhibition games, that, given favourable weather on May 6th, a new attendance record will be established at Maple Leaf Stadium when the Leafs open their home season against the Baltimore Orioles. The previous high mark for opening day attendance at the Stadium was made on May 2nd, 1928, when the Newark Bears and the Leafs played, to 15,867 fans. This is three or four thousand short of the capacity of the big grandstand. The Leafs are at home from May 6th to May 25th. playing Baltimore, Syracuse, Jersey City, Newark, Buffalo, and Rochester. Fix Up the Bathroom Little boys in the olden days who didn't like to wash their hands before appearing at the table may have been affeeted by the unheautiful. barren bathrooms and tin wash basins that marked the era. Certainly, in this day of decorative bathrooms that are given as much consideration as any room in the house, anyone would want to linger as long as possible and hand-washing should become a joy. A modern bathroom may be installed in your home with funds obtained from any Canadian Bank under the terms of the Home Improvement Plan at a low rate of interest. •s.
