H. Grainger, 314 Pitt Street, on Friday afternoon, No- vember 27, with a large attendance of members and friends.

'ON BAIL (Continued from Page 4) Society. The letter stated that ' Beckett, because of good behaviour 'in prison, would be released on December 24th of next year. Beckett, said Mr. Edmison's letter, is considered a good subject for re- .. habilitation and appears to have enuine desire to mend his ways. foo LAZY? The accused took the stand to ssthte that he would like to be able sto get out as soon as possible to help his aged mother since his fa- ther is now ill and unable to sup- port her. His Honor had a few questions for the accused. He ob- served that Beckett is only 24 and has been in trouble since he was 17. "What is the matter with you?" asked His Honor. "Are you too lazy 'to work for a living? If you had any respect for your father and mother you wauld never have been th criminals. You hi or you are go- ing to wind up with a rope around your neck or in prison for life." Crown Attorney Hall expressed the opinion that to give the accus- ed a short sentence to run concur- rent with his present sentence would in reality allow this last of- fence to go unpunished. There are a number of factors, observed Mr. Hall, which shape the conduct of an adult, his early home environ- ment, his experience at school and church and the society and conven- tions in which he circulates. "It would appear," said Mr. Hall, "that all these agencies have fail- ed for 24 years until at last the accused is before a Court whose only force is retention. Now, Mr. Edmison and Mr. Fraser are of the { opinion that in one year in peni- tentiary, all can be changed that | could not be changed in 24 years." He pointed out to the Cort that Beckett had been on b ending trial on another ofefnce when this last offence was committed. If | the Court, he argued, were to levy a small sentence, to run concurrent i with the heavy sentence he is now | serving, it would indicate that | there was no punishment for an of- | fence committed while on bail. Mr. Fraser argued that the ac- cused was in an unsettled age and that although his record was black, this was the first occasion in which he had been confined to a peniten- tiary. "LOOKS HOPELESS" In passing sentence, His Honor observed that this offence had been committed while Beckett was on bail. "Your case looks hopeless," he said and observed that he had been given plenty of chances to straighten up. He pointed out that the accused had been given a one- year term on probation which did REEVE (Continued from Page 4) contributed, out of their own pock- ets, $60,000 but there are many people who, although they could af- ford to, have not contributed to this cause, and the only fair way to remedy the situation is by a muni cipal grant. I therefore recom- mend that on Monday next you vote NO for the sewer by-law, and YES for the arena grant, hoping, as I do, that the industrial develop- ment of the Town of Whitby in the next few years will warrant a vote of yes on a subsequent by-law for | sewer extension.

"As long as you associate with them" was His Honor's advice '"'they will continue to do so." He further noted that this offence had been cc mitted while the accused was ou bail on another charge. "You are a case for a psychiatrist. You should have your head read to now ask for no punishment. Any man who goes out with a gang of cutthroats to pillage another's pro- perty, deserves no sympathy," said His Honor. The youth of the day, he contin- ued, require cars, movies and beer pariors and have got to have mon- ey for these things and this or sim- iliar means are easy ways to get it. "I can't help a man who won't help himself," said His Honor. And you have made no such at- tempt and until you do try, there is no hope for you. The criminals of today are all youngsters and determined to live by their wits." I sentence you to two years in the penitentiary, the sentence to run consecutive to the one you are serving. May it be a lesson to you," said His Honor. EVERY DAY... This newspaper sells thousands of items for the folks in this community.
