Bill, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Brain of Prince Albert, is an assistant loans manager at the Toronto- ' Dominion Bank in Whitby and a few months ago applied for his driver's licence renewal. It .never came, apparently lost in the mail, so he reapplied and finally received his licence. " Then a few weeks ago a strange thing happened. A young man handed Bill his lost renewal licence in the bank while applying for a loan. As Bill explains it, a man in his mid 20's, roughly his same build came into the bank to get a loan and was directed to Mr. Brain for an interview. "He gave his name as Brian Williams, but the address and birthdate he gave were mine," Bill recalls. He then asked the man for his social insurance number. The man looked in his wallet and said he didn't have his social insurance card with him, but pulled out a driver's licence. "It was my licence," Bill said, still in disbelief. Trying to hide his astonishment, Bill asked the young man to wait a minute while he went to consult a loans payment schedule. Leaving his office, Bill called the police by pushing an alarm button, but before he returned to his office, the man ran out of the bank, apparently having sensed a hitch in his "con-plan". Mr. Brain said that the man ran down the street, but wasn't pursued in case he was armed." Shortly after the police arrived but the young man eluded the police and has not been apprehended. But all was not lost. Bill now has a duplicate licence, as the young con artist, in his hurry to get away left the licence on his desk. Apparently the man * had stolen the licence from the mail at some point in the delivery process. If you were a gambling person, and liked betting on the odds, this one would have been great to have a few dollars on. Bill considers that odds on an experience like his would have to be '""a million to one". : that time of the year again : when clocks go AHEAD : one hour for daylight sav- Spring Ahead do before retiring this Sat- urday, April 29 is make the necessary change AHEAD one hour.
