She said' a friend of hers, Al Smith, of Lindsay, who she said has since died, was driving her husband's vehicle, Magistrate Baxter reserved judgment on the case to April 23 after commenting: "'there's a nigger in the woodpile here somewhere."

He said a man from the oth- er car asked if anything was the matter and was told to call the police. SECURED NAMES "Staff told them to mind their own business, and they drove on," Clausen testified, "But I got their names later when we caught up to them."

"It looked as though one was pulling the other," said Hayn. Both men identified Staff as the man they later saw fighting with Clausen, They said Clausen told them to get the police but Staff told them to "mind your own busi- ness."

She said she was reluctant to tell Crown Attorney Hatry Day- man the name of the man she was with the night of the inci- dent ,, because he's a married man."

Staff testified that he had left the car at his wife's home then had gone to see friends.

Mr. Stone presented a simi- lar program recently to the the Oshawa Registered Music Teachers, and it was felt that at that time that this present- ation was of such a superior nature that it warrented a pub- lic presentation, These children will inspire and challenge the listener. The Concert will be held at the Oshawa Missionary College Auditorium. Improvising is "Making up as you go along'. Most children can improvise on the piano Key- board, and can do so expertiy when encouraged and taught to do so, The improviser will be a player all his life, for playing will be easy for him, and he will always enjoy doing it.
