SOCIAL EVENING TUESDAY BY DAUGHTERS OF ENGLAND A man charged with assaulting a neighbour was fined $50.00 and costs, at total of $67.50. LAGK OF RADIO LIGENSES PROVES GOSTLY 10 HG Despite the warnings given in recent issues of The Advance aas to the necesâ€" sity for each and every owner of a radio having a license for same, there were eight men fined $5.00 and costs each at police court yesterday because they had failed to secure the required liâ€" cense. _ yearly fee for the radio license is only one dollar, so those who waited to be fined have paid the equivâ€" alent of six or seven years‘ license f‘ees. Following the recent warnings, and afâ€" tor a visit to town of a representative from the radio license department at Ottawa. there were ten cases before Magistrate Atkinson at police court here, the charge being that the accused though owning radio receiving set had failed to secure the necessary raâ€" dio license. In two of the charges, the magistrate dismissed the cases, the necessary license being purchased. In the one case it appeared that Ottawa had made an error in the name, the license in this case being duly produâ€" ced in court. It was obtained several months ago and was in order. It seemâ€" ed as if the department at Ottawa had been confused through somewnhnat sim»â€" lar names. In any event the prominâ€" ent citizen charged was able to show his radio license and there was nothing for the magistrate to do but to dismiss the charge and nothing for the departâ€" ment to do but to express regret at the error made. In the eight cases, howâ€" ever, neither a license nor a valid reaâ€" son for not having the license deâ€" manded by law could be given and acâ€" cordingly the $5.00 fine and costs was imposed in each case. R. G. Gooding, representing the radio branch at Ottaâ€" wa, was in town this weer m connecâ€" tion with the cases. Dean Kester, solicitor at Timmins for the Dominion Government, conducted the cases for the prosecution. Both Mr. Gooding and Mr. Kester explained that the prosecutions were entered most relucâ€" tantly, but that something had to be done to protect the department. It should be noted here and now once more that every radio owner must have a license. . As the fee is only one Gollar it would appear to be the part of wisâ€" dom for every owner to have the necesâ€" sary license. No one should be caught again in town in this connection. At police court this week there were six ordinary drunks, one of them a woâ€" man. One of the cases was dismissed but in each of the other five cases fine of $10.00 and costs was imposed. A charge of wife desertion was reâ€" manded to next week. So was the perâ€" jury charge that has been on the docket since early in January.=So was 2 charge of illegal possession of liquor.
