Nelson Francis Hicks, who pleaded guilty to a charge of being drunk im charge of a car, was Monday jailed for seven days. The court was told he was fol- lowed by a citizen who noticed Hicks' car swerving as he drove along. Police found him hanging on the wheel of his car after he had parked it in his driveway. "My nerves are shot," Hicks told the court, but denied it hap- pened because he drank.

The board of education nominee was Horace Krever, Toronto lawyer. Nom- inee for Local 18.of the Na- tional Union of Public Service Employees was Keith W.

The grievors claimed the board of education had promot- ed to chief custodian of a colleg- iate institute a man svho had only equal or less ability than the grievors, and had less sen- iority. | They claimed violation of their collective agreement with the board of education, which States that "all things being equal, seniority in the service of the board will be the basis of promotion, lay-off and re- hiring." In its award, dated Feb. 23, the arbitration board denied the grievance on the that the board of education is en- titled to rely on the recommen- dation of its superintendent, who, in the board's opinion, did -arefully consider and weigh the applications, letters of refer- ence and qualifications of each of the grievors, The arbitration board also concluded that 'the qualifica- tions of the successful appli- cant were higher than those of any of the grievors." In his dissenting report, Mr. Ross said he felt the decision 0 the superintendent was arbi- trary as it was based on a pre- judiced opinion because of his close association with the suc- cessful applicant.

This is ridiculous, claimed John DeHart Monday night. Mr. DeHart; president of the Lake Vista Ratepayers Associa- tion, was asking council to de- fer implementation of a new sidewalk cost policy for a year. "All those who petitioned last year should have the work done at.the same rate as last year," argued Mr. DeHart. This was homeowner, 75 per cent and city, 25 per cent. The new policy, slated to go into effect on 1963 construction programs: 1) needed sidewalks, or be paid for on a 50-50 cost split city. 2) be whol owner, The city's Public Works com- mittee will study the request.

During the "Hungry Thir- des," as Ald, Finley Dafoe de- scribed the era, if a husband or wife had*a job -- anywhere -- the mate would not be allowed to work for the city. Both these clauses were de- leted from the 1940 Consolidated Bylaw. three persons in a closer re- lati hip than d cousi shall be in the employ of the city at the same time (blood, half-blood and adoption relation- ships included).

"He may or may not have informed Blakley," continued Mr, Anger, "but it seems kind of funny. I submitted $200; Blakley $225, "I thought the committee thought it would look fimnny if they awarded the Marsh to me, an outsider from Darlington Towship." SHEDS NO LIGHT | Council's the Wildlife Committee, Ald. Gordon Attersley, was unable to representative on Muskrats shed any light on the matter. He told council he was not at the opening of the tenders be- cause he was not notified, "We will get this type of let- ter all year long," predicted Ald. Attersley, "I'm satisfied." "T"m not," retorted Ald. Dyer. "Ald, Attersley: "I met with the committee a week ago Sat- urday to review tenders after complaints." : Will Study Liquor Vote Are you in favor of the sale of liquor under a dining lounge licence for consumption with meals on licensed premises?
