Swaine, 42, of Princess Elizabeth street, Lind- say, was fined $75 or 30 days in jail after being convicted of careless driving in Bowmanville Magistrate's Court. Of two charges laid--criminal negligence and careless driving -- Crown Attorney Harry R. Deyman dropped the negligence charge. : In passing sentence, Magis- trate R. B. Baxter commented: SHOULD HEAR FACTS "As long as there are cars on our roads, accidents will hap- pen. I know in cases of this sort people who write for news media always cry out 'A man has been killed; why wasn't the penalty stiffer?' They should sit in a courtroom and hear all the facts as we do. "Having heard the evidence, and looking at the accused, a man with a steady job, a widower with a child to raise, a man of steady employment with a good driving record, I believe this sentence to be a fair one. "In any case, this is a stigma) he will have to carry for the] rest of his life." FINE RECORD Through defence counsel John} Greer, the McAnally Freight- ways truck driver (has driven over 1,000,000 miles and receiv- edseveral safe driving awards) entered a plea of not guilty. | -Philip Gilmer of Newtonville) testified that around 6.45 p.m.| on Aug. 27, the 31-year-old Pan-} doff brought him back to his} (Gilmer's) house on his motor- cycle. "He usually used the 'bike' to round up cattle. We parted company, and as I was just go- ' |FIRST RACE |$2,000, longs. tal Gilmer adding: "I was sitting in|along the same tracks made in the living room, and I heard this awful crash. I went outside, saw the car almost on our verandah, with the driver, look- ing dazed, sitting inside. "I said 'what do you think|be in trouble" if the two wheels| you are doing'. The driver look-|on the shoulder were wrenched and didn't}back on to the pavement. ed so move." stunned, Gilbert Aldred, an employee) in a garage situated opposite the Gilmer home, said he saw a westbound, fast-moving car go- ing by, then heard a "terrific crash." MECHANIC TESTIFIES Under cross examination by Mr. Greer, the garage owner, Harold Burley, said he tested the death vehicle, with particu- lar regard to its power steer- ing. SOFT SHOULDERS After driving the -- vehicle ithe soft shoulder, off Highway lo, Mr. Burley said he thought it |possible the accused's vehicle, jif going faster than the statu- jtory 40 mph speed limit, "'might | Evidence indicated that after the vehicle came back on to Highway 2 to avoid a parked tow truck in the garage lot, it veered sharply south across the road, sheered the bark from a tree, mowed down two signs and gathered a guy wire before its rear end struck' the deceased. Mr. Greer contended that since his client was accustom- ed to driving a truck, he per- haps was panicked into imagin- ing that his steering had failed after the vehicle partially went off the highway.

Early this week a four-point deer was seen in the south east section of the city; while Wednesday night a | large animal believed to be a lynx was seen. | A resident of Courtice, re- turning from work in the General Motors office, re- ports a large, sand-colored animal, weighing about 100 pounds, leaped across the | road in front of her car on | Bloor street east. | At first she thought it was a dog but it was close enough for her to see the extremely short tail. | The animal, after cross- | ing the road, sat near a tree ; stump and only fled when a flashlight was shone on it. | | | Fine 3 Drivers \As Careless Three drivers were convicted in Oshawa Magistrate's Court Wednesday on charges of care- \less driving. | Pleading guilty was W. R. \Jeffrey, of Port Perry, who was lfined $10 plus cost, or three \days in jail. When he was back- jing up his truck he failed to see a cay behind him and a colli- ision occurred. | J. Short pleaded not guilty, --Oshawa Times Photo BROUGHAM -- Miss Violet Swan, a former councillor and resident of the Rosebank area complained before Pickering :|Township Council Monday night about the state of her driveway afier the township road depart- ment had been working in her area. "After the playing around with bulldozers," she complain- ed, "the sod was ripped from the bank, tree roots exposed, and mail boxes lying on the ground for two weeks. "J don't want the trees to die," said Miss Swan, describing two fine trees whose roots had all been exposed by the digging. "Trees such as these can not be planted and grown overnight." DRIVE DEPRESSED Miss Swan said that the en- trance to her driveway had been depressed to such an extent "that people will never be able to go in and out this winter. It has been made into a packet \for snow." | Miss Swan described the mail |boxes which had been removed fcr road construction and laid jon the ground for the past two weeks. She said that the people had to go to Pickering village to get their mail while this con-| | jdition existed. | Reeve Scott told Miss Swan |that on a recent inspection tour |that the work done had seemed to councillors satisfactory, and that he was sure Road Superin- tendent Jack Chapman had felt that he was improving the en- trance to her property. He said |that he would speak to Mr. Chapman about it, and if she felt that it was unsatisfactory, that it would be remedied, and {mail boxes being re-erected. | |SLAP HAPPY HUNTERS roamed around my property on Ex-Councillor Voices Protests that he would find out about the| "Sixteen slap happy hunters| Saturday," said Miss Swan, "pointing guns at all angles." The discharge of firearms is prohibited in this area, and Miss Swan relatec that the signs pro- claiming this had been destroy- ed, Miss Swan spoke of the chil- dren of the area, and the dan- ger present when hunters were about. "If even one of these children is shot," said Miss Swan, "there is going to be an awful turmoil in Pickering Township." Councillor Mowbray asked Miss Swan if police had been called when the 16 hunters were on her property, and she re- plied in the affirmative, saying that the police did not come, but a game warden appeared, who said that nothing' could be done She said that the police came the next day and claimed a large quantity of telephone cable which one of the hunters |had picked up and left on her} |property. 'tL wonder if anyone! had collected a shot, if they} would have been here any fast-! er?" asked Miss Swan. |CONTROL: DIFFICULT "Control of hunters. is a very ifficult problem," said Reeve Scoit, who added that they had} to be caught in the act of shoot-| ing in a forbidden area. Miss Swan was asked why she did} not charge hunters with tres-) passing, and she replied that it meant taking time off from| work to attend court. | "Hold a court on Saturday or| evenings, and I will get half a dozen of them for you," she| | proffered. Reeve Scott agreed that the signs forbidding the use of fire- larms would be replaced, and| |that Police would be contacted) to find out why they did not at- tend when summoned.
