WED- OCTOBER Public Or Private Migiatrate 0 S erred in dismiBsinB charge of in a in or near a place Mayor A Kent The charge arose after an incident at II am in ths town clerk private office between Mayor Kent and Councillor John lnsley The Era will not comment on whether or not Mayor Kent actually caused a disturbance by swearing or using insulting or obscene language That is not the issue The issue is whether or not a disturbance look place in a public place The issue was brought up by an excellent defense counsel as a means of getting a charge against his client dismissed Magistrate was asked to rule on whether or not a cor ridor in front of a counter in the clerks general office a few feet from in open door from the clerks private office was in fact in or near a public place The Magistrate spent two hours searching through law books to find cases applicable to the case before him In his remarks in court Magistrate said the definition of a public place in causing a disturbance cases was very hazy He said that he had considerable in the particular before him that an offense took place in or near public place And when there is doubt In law the benefit of the doubt musi go to the accused The Era suggests that there should be no doubt that the corridor in front of the counter in the clerks genera office is a public place A corridor in front of a counter in another type of business office logically be considered not a public place But the corridor in question Is in the town municipal offices- The people who work at the municipal office are public employees The employees and the offices are there serve the public The public pays for the building its upkeep and the salaries of the people who work there The corridor In question is the busiest place in the offices The public stands before that counter to conduct various kinds of business with town employees Welfare recipients make requests to speak to the wel- fare officer and pick up their welfare cheques from a town employee There are times when there are as many a people standing in thai corridor before the counter If a busy corridor in a public supported building during business hours is not a public place

intelligence and go about as far out the other way with fantastic Jules Verne types who are either combing the sea far more of their ilk or getting completely frustrated steering space ships between Venus and the Rig Dipper The networks across the border are also reaching into the lower sections of the entertainment barrel with stars of yesteryear who should have learned by this time that neither voice nor talent can last for ever Surely these singers who made a hosts of fans and a few million jil the are not so much in need of a dollar or old age publicity that they have to try comebacks with a which was welt past its peak at the end of llie Second World War Another typical US innovation seems to be the slot in many pro grams reserved for a little brainwashing on the Viet situation In this some reluctant combatant Is flown back from the theatre of war and the cameras close in on a chest covered with purple hearts silver crosses and a multitude of battle scars For the costs involved most of it is trash If looks as though most of our personal viewing this winter will he restricted to a few good old movies and an odd travelogue Readers 1 am wondering why you went to such great lengths
