Resolutions and speeches cov- ered fields ranging from de- serted wives to disabled per- sons and recommended more government benefits and pay- ments. Dr. L. R.

WOULD STOP AMATEURS Dr. Spencer said a change in the stand by children's aid soci- eties would "stop amateurs, like doctors, from dabbling in social work." "We would turn it over to the professionals."

"It would be intolerable for ! any kind of eavesdropping of a/ conversation between a lawy | and a client to take place," | | Mr. Wishart said. (Mr. Singer | contended the recording was| made of a conversation between | Devost and his counsel.) TRIED TO LISTEN | "This was an attempt, in a | + very serious murder charge, to} listen in between a suspect and fa visitor who was believed im-, | plicated,"' Mr. Wishart said. | The policeman operating the| recorder was concealed by a partition, he said Devost pleaded guilty to man- slaughter in the death last Nov 29 of Mrs. Alderic Lavergne, | 69, in Cache Bay. He was sen- MRP tenced April 14 to 12 years in) penitentiary. Mr. Wishart said the tape re- ' cording of the conversation be- IBM tween Devost and his friend] i was submitted as evidence, but RU ' the quality of the recording was [BE 80 poor that the youth's words | f could not be made out. | Mr. Wishart promised to} make a full report to the legis- | lature in the near future. f For All Your "Bridal Shoes" (Tinted Free) CHOOSE DANCEY'S In DOWNTOWN OSHAWA 10% DISCOUNT IF YOU BRING THIS AD 6' x 9' Borderless LINOLEUM RUGS ...
