Matthew Harold Johnson was the recipient of a threeâ€"month sentence as a result of his failing to send money to his wife after neing bound to do s0o by a court order. Gregâ€" ory Evans, acting as defence, said the accused had been unable to meet the payments as a result of the of more pressing \bills. He had been at a camp in Abitibi for®the past Ssix months and had on‘y been out of the camp once in that time for medical treatment. s » previously convicted of theft it wa» stated, and had received a twoâ€"month sentence. He was sixteen years of age at the time. In passing sentence the magistrate said, ‘"we must protect people‘s cars". Sankoff‘s defence stated the accused had been unable to start his car and had taken the battery from one car in order to get his car going, he also foolishly took the radio. The defence said the purpose of law was for preâ€" vention as well as conviction and sugâ€" gested that the accused be given a suspended sentence, "then if he goes off the straight and narrow again he can be punished".

The car had started to back out cf the lot and had sta‘led. On investigation, the constable fsund the car radio on the floor the car Sankoff was driving.

The doctor attending Ostafichuck stated that at the time the man was sufferring from lacerations around the nose and eyes and a s.ight fracture of the frontal bone of the skull beâ€" sides being considerably bruised. The two men had been drinkâ€" ing together at a friends home in the basement . apartment . o° Ostafichuck‘s house it was statlcd, .eaving there at about eight o‘slock. From there the two had obhtained a gallon of wine and had remainsd friendly up until nine o‘clock when Ostafichuck had asked Sakachey to leave as the doctor was coming to see one of the children. The scrap had started then and a resident of the house had phoned for the police. : The contables investigating the cull stated that when they arrived the two men had refused to offer an explanaâ€" tion. A large metal spoon was being used by Sakachey during the figat. The accused had the spoon in his right hand wiith one end up his sleeve and he other wrapped in the sleeve of h‘s sweater. Four charges of illegal parking netâ€" ‘ed the offenders fines of $1 and costs with one person paying $1 and costs for failing to stop at an intersection.

John Sakachey was fined $50 And costs for assaulting «William Ostailâ€" chuck of 62 Maple St., Timmins, on .ne chse, said that "there was no reaâ€" When asked which he would choose ‘f he were in the same position as Meyer the same Brass Hat replied, crisply, to be sure, and without eve‘ looking to see if the reporter had got it down right. ‘"To be shot, of course." Wihich is â€"â€" we could be wrong â€"â€" purely a matter of viewpoint, dependâ€" ing upnon which side of the bars wo happen to be looking through, and all that. We don‘t hear Meyer clamoring for the death penalty. And _ why shculd he, Comrades? He still has a long life ahead of him and puvb‘lic And the abcove quotation wasn‘t all c‘f it. There was stil‘ another emanaâ€" tion from the same Brass Hat: "I still think it most unjust to commule the sentence. He should have been shot." In this Meyer evidently conâ€" curred because he admitted freely that he had received a fair trial and he could find no fault with the verdict, and undoubtedly if the shoe had bsen on the other foot the. sentence of death would have been carried out withcut hesitation. that is bad in Kurt; that he will emerge a chastened man, no longes the great organizer and a wonde:fuli leader, but a humble citizen, ready to accept Canadian nationality at its true worth, apply for his Family A!â€" lowanzce â€"â€" he has enough. encuinâ€" brances to make it worth while â€"â€" and embark on a little job like selling inâ€" surance. This same verbal bouquet, expressed in the past tense, can be taken to mean that Kurt is finished, or it could have been meant to indicate that a sojourn c! twenty years in a nice comfortable cell in Kingston, with the odd litt‘e luxury provided for, and eight or ten years taken off for good behavior, will tend to eradicate all That is â€"â€" unless Kurt is ungrateful and forgetful of all the comfortable hospitality, the â€"nice little attention» that wi‘l, no doubt, be thrown his way during the intervening years, ani should decide to return to his native land as a national hero and resume his organizing and leadership ircin where he was rudely interrupted, Hard on the heels of Kurt Meyer‘s reprieve we learn straight from the lips cf a certain Brass Hat â€"â€" "that Meyer was a great organizer and a wonderful leader." Considering its source this was a generous admission and may be regarded as being but a prelude to finer and better relations between highâ€"ranking generals in the future. One must remember that deâ€" spite alil his o.her sins or omissions ccocmmitted, a greatâ€" general can do no wrong. On behalf of all the citizens of the Town of Timmins I offer to members of the Algonquin Regimentâ€"and through them, to all who enlisted from this Town â€" our congratâ€" ulations on a safe return and our sincere thanks for their sacrifice and service.

We may not be able to evaluâ€" ate evidence at its true worih, but we do know that he received the death sentence and this was commuted alâ€" most immediately afterward with no additional evidence being offered to warrant it. The Executive Committee have deâ€" ferred the question of â€" Comrade Quinns successor until the next Genâ€" eral Meeting, to be held on Saturduay, Jan. 30th,. A good attendance is rgâ€"| quested. Several Legion branches have voiced a protest against the commutation of Kurt Mceyer‘s sentence It is too late for anything to be done about thas now, except for the record. Unless some steps are taken it won‘t be long before we are reading accounts of Air Marsha:l ~Goering‘s exploits during Woerld War I and what splendid achievements he has accomplished for the Luftwaife before and during the second one. A man‘s military standing does appear to be an extenuating facâ€" tor in mitigating his criminal record. The Executive Committee accepted Comrade Quinn‘s resignation, tenderead in compliance with strict orders from his physician, with a regret that Avill be shared by every member of the branch. Barney was elected to the office of president by acc‘amation and was justly proud of this, unaninmous selection freocm among so many, He would have enjoved working for us and shares our regret that he cannot carry on any further. He escgped being highly decorated merely because there is nothing in the K. R. that says you may confer the Order of the Garter upon a P.O.W., and all because he refrained from massacring more merchant seamen than was actually necessary while he was shooting up allied ships in the Indian Ocean.
