The court was told the accused made every mem- ber of the family strip. On his third visit to the home, the accused gave Mrs. Mastroangelo a paper that de- clared the family fit. Major R. J. Carson of the Ilth Armored Ontario Regiment told the ccurt the accused was employed as a caretaker ut the local armor- ies.

The cutting of a Gem is a precise operation calling for Great core ond not merely "some" care, "Some care" might well apply to a Hem, Wasted is more apt since the clue says "there are always times."
