Anderson, 21, was given one month in jail for driving while under suspension and warned by Judge Nadeau that one more conviction for driving while suspended would result in a reformatory term. The crown told the court that Anderson has a long driving record in- cluding convictions for excess alcohol, impaired driving and driving while under suspension. The court was also told that Anderson had lost his licence twice for ac- cumulation of demerit points. The last time Anderson was stopped for driving while under suspension, on October 6, 1976, he had just a little over a month left to go on the suspen- sion order. James Lunnie, who represented Anderson, explained that Anderson had driven on October 6, in order to move some furniture from an apartment he and his wife had to move out of. He also informed the court that Anderson and his wife were forced into a temporary separation when they lost their apartment. He _ said Anderson was driving to see his wife at the time. Lunnie told the court that Anderson didn't have the use of his motor vehicle during most of the period of his suspension since it wasn't "operational". He said that Anderson had sunk about $3,000 into the vehicle and he felt that if Anderson '"'could remove himself from his motor vehicle he would remove himself from his troubles.'"' He asked if a jail sentence was imposed that it be short since Anderson would be called back to work in April. Judge Nadeau told Anderson that he had a very serious driving record for someone who is only 21 years of age. He said he contemplated a reformatory sentence, but was afraid of the , orking together to save lives. The majority of Canadian gun owners have traditionally supported gun control in Canada. Many of these people are sports hunters, target shooters or collectors, and others use their guns to hunt or trap in order to support their families. Generally, they are Canada's responsible gun users. There is a small but growing group of people in Canada, however, who make criminal use of guns. For example, armed robberies increased 38% from 1974 to 1976. It is this group that the new gun control legislation will deal with through longer, mandatory prison sentences and prohibition powers. The misuse of guns is increasing as well. Last year approximately 300 people were victims of homicide with a gun. Many in an impulsive moment of violence among family members or friends. New court-ordered prohibitions, police search and seizure powers, and higher gun safety standards will reduce the needless toll of deaths and injuries. With the continued support of Canadians for gun control, we will reduce the criminal and irresponsible use of guns. In short, we'll be working together to save lives. "I own my own guns. How does the new Gun Control legislation affect me?" If you own only hunting rifles and you store them safely, it won't affect you at all. However, certain other guns will be either restricted or prohibited. Basically, all centre-fire semi-automatics with a barrel length of less than 1842" are now restricted and must be registered. Handguns have been restricted since 1934. Sawed-off rifles and shotguns, guns with silencers and fully automatic weapons, are now prohibited, except those fully automatics registered to collectors before January 1, 1978. "I'm glad you're getting tougher with criminals using firearms. Anyone convicted of using a firearm while committing or attempting to commit a criminal offense will be sent to prison for not .,fety education and the encouragement of responsible gun ownership and use, we will be able to reduce the level of firearm less than one year and not more than 14 years. This sentence cannot be suspended. As well, maximum prison sentences for other firearm offences have been doubled. "Ts it true that police officers have new, extended search and seizure powers?" Yes. Police officers can now seize firearms without a search warrant if they consider them hazardous to the immediate safety of any individual. They will then have to justify the grounds for the search to a magistrate. "I now own a prohibited weapon. It is against the law to be in possession of a prohibited weapon. You should contact your local police as soon as possible in order to turn the weapon over to them or to make other arrangements for its disposal. Failure to do so could result in your being prosecuted. "What does safe handling and storage of guns have to do with Gun Control?" Last year in Canada, there were over 120 accidental deaths due to the careless use of firearms. Under the new legislation, gun owners are responsible for the safe storage of their weapons. For example, if your gun is used in a criminal action, you could be charged with careless storage if such is decided in court. **My rifle is now on the restricted list. What happens to them?" violence. '*Why is Gun Control so important?" Ultimately, to make Canadians safer from the misuse of firearms. Last year alone over 1.400 people were killed by guns. Through tighter firearms control, "+ would like to learn more about the safe and KIA OP8. What do I do?" > iii AHN "How do you plan on keeping guns out of the hands of people who aren't able to use them safely?" Through Firearms Acquisition Certificates and the courts' prohibition powers. The provincially administered F.A.C. system will come into effect January 1, 1979. It is designed to prevent unfit and incompetent persons from acquiring guns. The new prohibition power allows the courts to take guns away from dangerous persons. should I see?

Report ordered A pre-sentence report was ordered in the case of Brian Edgar Brooks, 16, who is charged with break and enter at Tech- form Products on Cen- tennial Drive in Penetanguishene. The police report said that they noticed foot- prints around the building on December 22. On closer investigation, they saw Brooks leave the building and apprehended him. Brooks gave the police a written statement saying he got into the building using keys which belonged to his father who worked there. He said he was looking for $18 to pay off a debt to a friend. Robert MacKinnon, acting as duty counsel, told the court that due to Brooks' age a_ pre- sentence report was called for. Judge Nadeau agreed. Fined $350 William M. Brown, 34, of Midland was fined $350, put on probation for one year and had his licence suspended, all for driving while impaired. The police report said he was pulled over on Highway 26 because he was driving so slow, holding up traffic and swerving across. the centre line. He had readings of 230 and 220 milligrams of alcohol The crown pointed out that Brown had been convicted of impaired driving in October 1975. Al that time he refused to supply a sample of breath. James Lunnie, who represented Brown called him to the stand to give evidence. Brown ad- mitted to having a serious drinking problem which he had tried time and time again to conquer. He testified that his last visit to the Mental Health Centre for treatment in a program for alcoholics had helped him greatly. He also said he goes to Alcoholics | Anonymous meetings on a regular basis. Lunnie, called Reverend Little of Knox Presbyterian Church to the stand as well. Little testified that Brown had a "drinking problem that he was desparately trying to get out of."' He said, "I don't know anyone that's tried so hard to get out of alcoholism". Little told Judge Nadeau that he believed Brown's efforts to rehabilitate himself were sincere. He added that he had doubts about a jail term being good for Brown's efforts. Nadeau decided to make the matter a fining one. The probation term he imposed is to help Brown and keep him free from alcohol. Brown's licence was suspended for a further six months however, he will be able to use his car for work and any schooling that is necessary for him to obtain work. Failed to remain John Lenio was fined $100 for failing to remain at the scene of an ac- cident. The police report said he hit the rear of another car which was stopped at a_ stoplight. -When the other driver suggested they pull off to the side of the road to discuss ownership and insurance, Lenio took off The police found him at his home some time later however, he denied that he had an accident and Driving under suspension nets man one month said he sold the car. The police took him to see the car which was sold and a front fender was missing Lenio admitted to the accident at this point MacKinnon told the court that Lenio is at school and has to be the father figure for his family since his own father is no longer there MacKinnon' explained that on the day in question Lenio "simply panicked' Nadeau asked him if he had learned anything from his day in court and fined him $100 Library news Library Hours: Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. There is a display of paintings at the library by Mr. Ted Lord of Waubaushene.
