Gordom Rynard, For Non-Support "You have done nothing to sup- port your wife and daughter for three years, This poor, callous attitude demands adequate pun- ishment." With these words, Mag- istrate F. S. Ebbs sentenced Sydney Saunders, 49, of 805 Birchmount street, Scarboro, to six months in the county jail. Saunders appeared in court on Monday after having been re- manded one week for sentence, on pleading guilty to a non- support charge. Saunders admitted at his trial that he had paid no money to- ward the support of his wife, Dorothy, and his 11-year-old daughter, Dianne, since 1954. He ignored a court order to pay for their support. Testimony showed that, since the order was issued, he had fallen $3000 in arrears.
