Road Superintendent Jack Chapman, burned while welding a fue' tank on a.grader, was accident- al, but included six recommend- ations in its verdict. Chapman died in a Toronto hospital on Aug. 8, from burns received when the tank blew up as he welded it in the Pickering Town- ship garage at Brougham on July 27. The inquest was conducted by Dr. W. W. Tomlinson, of Pick- ering, and Ontario's Chief Cor- oner Dr. H, B. Cotnam atten ied as an observer. The jury's recommendations are as follows: . The jury found that the explo. ure to observe the recommend- ed safety practices of which the deceased and other employees were ignorant.

Amazing! This is some feat! How a club can score five first period goals, then stop cold and apparently deposit their sticks into their back pockets is almost unbelievable. In actual' fact, it was Brooklin's worst two-period perfor- mance of the entire 1962 season. Undoubtedly the most in- opportune time to fall asleep on the job. Automatically several questions arise in my mind as to why this happened. Did they really forget to take their lacrosse sticks on the floor in the second and third periods? No, that's impossible, the referees wree having enough trouble keeping the game under control as it was, with the Ontario Lacrosse' Associa- tion holding their special meeting in the arena in conjunction with the game to ascertain the future of Gord Thompson to allow further nonsense. The meeting continued long after the 1,400 fans left the arena upon conclusion of the game. Their eventual decision was satisfactorily accepted by Brooklin officials, but not so with Brampton. Was the attitude of Brooklin players indifferent? That seems highly unlikely after the post-game feelings that should Gord Th be ded, Hillcrests prime objective was to win in Brampton for Bobby Curtis. Besides, it isn't every day that a club has the opportunity to claim a Canadian Senior lacrosse championship. Is the coach at fault for not driving his club harder when they obviously let-up, enough so, to allow Brampton a 6-5 second period lead, and before they realized what was taking place, were being swamped? The idea appears unsound when you consider Jim Cherry's enthusiasm for winning. As a matter of fact, he'll have to increase it ten-fold hoping that it will rub off on his club in time for Saturday's 8:45: p.m. starting time at the Brooklin Memorial arena, the site of the fourth game. These are only a couple which came to mind, but space does not permit dwelling on the subject any farther. Anyhow, there's little to be accomplished by living in the past. What's done, is done. It now boils down to simple mathematics for Brooklin Hillcrests -- a three-out-of-four series; two more Brampton victories and it's curtains, There is no getting around it, Brooklin must win one game in Brampton, plus their two home games to qualify for the Mann Cup finals. They will be played in Brampton, incidentally. Terry Davis, who would have been a welcome addition to . the Brooklin Hillcrests this year, and quite possibly, if he was in action now with them could be the difference in win- ning or losing against Brampton, returned recently from a successful year with Nanaimo, British Columbia. Davis ended third in the league's scoring race, picking up 52 goals in a 34-game schedule. His club ended fourth, and went down to defeat in semi-final competition in four straight. Terry figures Vancouver Carlings will be the club to re- present Western Canada, unless Jack Bionda can rally his New Westminster club. "They (Vancouver) are the best club that I have seen in quite some time,"' said Davie. "They hound you constantly with their checking, and 1 would honestly have to say, al- though I hope the East wins, that Vancouver if they make it to the Mann Cup finals, will win the title," he added. Open On Poliomyelitis Clinics are scheduled in Whitby and sur- jrounding areas following out- breaks of the crippling disease in Ottawa and Hull, In the Ottawa and Hull epi- demic the cases were found in the non-protected or poorly pro. tected portion of the population. "We now have in our hands the means to protect every man, woman and child from the crippling scourge of poliomye- litis," said Dr. F. B. Wishart, director of the Ontario County Health Unit (Southern Area). It is recommended that all persons over three months of age take the oral Sabin vaccine regardless of whether or not they have received Salk vaccine; and also anyone who has not already received Salk vaccine should arrange for it as an add. Polio Clinics Monday At the September and Novem- ber clinics only the pleasant tast- ing oral vaccine will be given. This vaccine is provided free |by the Ontario Departemnt of Health. Dr. Wishart advises that the vaccine will not be given to school children in school so total family groups should at- tend these clinics. The clinics will be held in the Legion Hall on Byron strect south on the following: datvs. First dose -- Monday, Sept. 10, 6.30 p.m. to 9 p.m. or Thurs- day, Sept. 13, 6.30 p.m. to 9 p.m. or Friday, Sept. 14, 11.00 a.m. to 3.30 p.m. Second dose -- Monday, Nov. 5 at 6.30 p.m. to 9 p.m. or Thursday, Nov. 8 at 6.30 p.m. to 9.00 p.m. or Friday, Nov. 9 at 11,00 a.m. to 3.30 p.m. It is ne- cessary to obtain two doses of ed protection. the Sabin vaccine. WHITBY PERSONALS The jury recommended that a proper fuel storage room should be provided at the municipal ga- rage at Brougham, a room sep- arate from the storage and re- pair area and that proper con- tainers should be provided for handling fuel and other flam- mable liquids. Jury -- Change. Education For Welders "It was further recommended that bulletin boards be provided at the garage and posters or notices be posted thereon refer- ring to safety procedures to be followed for the usual operations carried on in the building. The further recommendation was made that regulations should be brought into effect controlling the manufacture of fuel tanks and they should be made of heavy enough metal to stand up to the wear and tear to which they are subjected. The jury further added that "we feel that the lightness of the tank which was being re- paired and possible flaws in con- struction of the tank were con- tributing factors to this acci- sion occurred as a result of fail. dain A final recommendation of the jury stated "As the accident seems to have resulted froin 2 lack of information on safety precaution, we recommend that all organizations dealing with industrial safety get this information into the hands of those people who can benefit by it as easily and quickly as pos- sible." In the absence of Pathologist, Dr. Roderick Ross, Dr. Tomlin- son told the jury that Chapman had died at noon on Aug. 8 with a post mortem revealing three possible causes of death.

Hicks said that there was an explosion and he saw Chapman jump off the chair where he had been standing to do the welding his shirt afire. He and Booth, ne said extinguished the fire with wiping rags which were in the garage. i WAS NOT AFRAID In reply to questions Arleigh Hillman, acting Crown Attorney, and the two coroners, Hicks said that he did fiot know whether or not it was dangerous to weld a tank containing diesel fuel. He said that he was aware that gasoline would have ignited much more quickly, He said that he was not afraid of any explosion when he saw Chap- man welding although he knew that Chapman was road super- intendent and not a welder. The 'tank, he said, had been welded on two previous occa- sions, On at least one of those occasions, he said, the tank was h steamed out first. .

The torch Ivan Booth, grader operator, had been with Chapman in the township's garage at Brougham on the afternoon of July 27. He said that Booth's grader had de- veloped a leak in a fuel tank and Chapman undertook to weld the small hole in the end of the 50-gallon tank, with an acetylene torch. FUEL IN TANK He said that there was enough fuel in the tank at that time that some was running through the leak. He and Booth, he said, raised one side of the grader by means of the hydraulic - powered blade and let the diesel fuel run over to the oposite end of the tank. He said that it was necessary to siphon about eight gallons out of the tank to stop the flow through the hole. . ARNOLD'S MARKET 115 BROCK ST, N.
