YOUNG WOMEN‘S A L'XILIARY Topics and Fables MAPLE Louo===louo Yonge at Castlefield HUDson 2172 I Corner Dr. Dales strongly emphaâ€" sized the danger for pedestrians who walk on the highways after dark. He urged that parents should 'Wam their [children of the danger and that if pe- ldestrians must walk on the highway )he said they should be educated to walk against the traffic not with the [traffic as under certain weather con- ditions it was almost impossible for a motorist to see them. He commend- ed the jury for the recommendations {brought in and expressed the hope that the authorities would take some heed of the awful toll of human life on our highways due to the lack of proper accommodation and regul- ations for pedestrians. “Surely” he said the cost of sidewalks on Yonge Street would be more then compenâ€" sated by the saving of human life." The finding of the jury was; “We the jury empanelled to enquiry how and by what means Keith Courtney icame to his death find that he {net death as a result of being struck by a motor car, the driver of which is unâ€" known. We also find that the driv- er of said car was driving negligently and recklessly. We would also recoâ€" mmend that in View of the increasing number of accidents of this nature that sidewalks properly lighted be provided on Yonge Street for the safety of pedestrians.” The personnel of the jury was; A‘ T. Minm's, (foreman), James Hiltz William Davies, E, Reesor, A. A. Ed- en, Frank Sims, W. Middleton, and J‘ E. Smith. The Maple Dramatic Club under the direction of Mrs. A. S.

Admission, adults 35 compact I Crown Attorney Moore spoke in [very strong terms concerning- the scoundrel motorist who had not the decency and humanity to come to the ,rescue of the little lad and render [first aid. ,It was deduced in evidence ‘that the driver of the car had come to a stop but apparently on realizing the seriousness of the accident start- ed his car and drove away at a high rate of speed making- his indentifi- cation impossible by those near the accident, although chase was immedi- ately given. The witnesses heard at the inquest were, Highway Traffic Officer Mont- gomery, Constable Sid Barracloug'h, George Allison who was first at the scent of the accident, George Reyn-I olds, Mr. Courtney, father of the boyl who was killed, and an eight year oldl brother of the deceased who accomp-~ anied his brother to the Langstaffl store on the night of the fatal acci- dent and who was walking ten or twelve feet behind his brother when the accident occurred. The inquest opened on Thursday evening last November 22nd, when a number of witnesses were heard, but was adjourned on suggestion of the crown for one week so that further {efforts might be made to track to {earth the owner of the death car. The jury resumed deliberations on Wednesday night, but no new eviden- ,ce was submitted although it was clearly intimated that the authorities are still very active in the case and are doing all possible to apprehend the guilty party. Several clues are in the possession of the police and may lead to an arrest any day. hit-and-run motorist on Yonge Street just south of Langstaff on Saturday, November 17th.

We notice gal: his present task he usually wears his overcoat, while last Winter while iin the employ of a private party he found it invariably necessary to doff his clothes and create heat by hard work.
