STARS' AUTOGRAPHS IN DEMAND Tuesday was hockey night in Whitby and the Hot Stove League buffs weren't glued to the TV set. Two mem- bers of the Maple Leafs, Centre Bobby Pulford and Right Wing Andy Bathgate were the guests of the Whitby and Ajax Kinsmen Clubs at their weekly meet- ing. Autographs for junior were the order of the day and the two men were hard pressed to sign the many cards presented to them by the many members. After dinner a film of a Stanley Cup game was_ screened. Pulford, left and Bathgate use the back of an oblig- ing member to sign their autographs. --Oshawa Times Photo Coroner's Jury Advocates Stricter Safety Methods WHITBY (Staff) -- Stricter safety measures for Whitby Public Utilities Commission em- ployees were recommended at a Whitby inquest lield Monday night into the death of Real Jo- seph Robitaille, of Peel street, Whitby. Robitaille, the father of five young children, died Jan. 17 when a hydro pole on which he was working snapped off at the base and crushed him. He died, said Oshawa General Hospital pathologist Dr. Roland Clark, from severe fractures of the skull. He could have lived only a few minutes after the ident which happened, on Brock street south, near the junction with Watson street. POLE DANGEROUS The pole, which snapped off so suddenly, was in an "ex- tremely dangerous condition" testified Professor A. Jorgenson of the Department of Forestry, University of Toronto. He had examined the rotted section of the pole which had been brought to his department by the Whitby Police. He found it badly ravaged by carpenter ants and powder post beetles. There were also two types of disease the some four to five years. Questioned by Crown Attorney Bruce Affleck, Professor Jor- genson stated that poles of this should be checked every two to four years for damage. George Leonard, of RR 2, Oshawa, told the jury he had been working with Robitaille when the accident happened. He and a gang of workmen from the Whitby PUC had been replacing hydro lines following a rather difficult housemoving operation. STRAPPED TO POLE Robitaille, he said, was work- ing at the top of the pole re- placing the hydro: lines to the transformer box. He was wear- ing his safety helmet and was strapped to the pole' by his safety harness. The pole just suddenly snapp- ed off at the base. Being strapp- ed to the wood, Robitaille fell HISTORIC GIFT VICTORIA (CP) Three Royal Navy cannonballs fired more than 100 years ago at the Indian village of Ahousat on the with it.

To the south the pole was held by five hydro wires already re-connected. He, too, saw the impact of the pole knock the helmet off Robi- taille's head. POLES CHECKED David McKeag, charge of the operation, said that hydro poles in the area had been checked for damage and rot two years ago. No checking had been done sirce. It was, he said, very difficult for each pole to be checked be- frost and it made the task im- possible. He admitted that the pole was not properly guyed. M. O. Shepherd, a safety of- ficer of the Electric Utilities Safety Commission, said that regulations laid down :for line- men stipulated that a pole Whitby Area Bowling Scores LEGION SUNDAY NITERS BOWLING LEAGUE Results for January 24: Kingpins 7 (23), Snatchers 0 (10): ,Aces 7 (16), Tigers 0 (9), Demons 7 (24), Dogpatchers 0 a aaa 7 (17), Headpins (11).

Very often the ground was hard with should be checked before it was climbed. Also a pole should be guyed in at least three directions in case of accidents. "One more guy slung across the street would have stopped this pole from falling," he said. On the question of safety hel- mets Mr. Shepherd said that he was personally in favor of chin straps. This, he said, might gap the helmet falling off in alls. THREE RECOMMENDATIONS In finding that Robitaille died after falling with the pole, the jury made three recommenda- tions. Firstly that a systematic check with records be kept as to the condition of hydro poles. Secondly that in similar oper- ations in the future three or more guys should be employed to support the pole against sud- den collapse. Thirdly that chin straps be 'adopted on safety helmets.
