There was no warning. “He told me not to move the machine but before I could do anything another load came down and buried him com- pletely. He was pinned against my machine." Evidence revealed that the incident occurred in an area of the pit being worked on by the deceased in one front-end loa- der and William McDonald, 38, of Orangeville, in another.

Mining Inspector Samuel A1- tan, of London. said he visited the scene after the accident and stated no violation as to the height of the bank had occurred. Part owner of the pit. Floyd Walker of 174 Mill Pond Court. Richmond Hill, described Scott as being “basically cautious. a relatively safe operator. I'd say he was safe 99 percent of the time. I would say the other one percent had to be the accident which occurred." Mr. Walker said the gravel bank was between "40 and 50 feet straight up and down" but stated that it came within the regulations of the Ontario Min- ing Act. He described the height of the bank as about 40-feet straight up from the ground but said there was “quite a slope on it" running down to his ma- chine which he estimated was 35 feet away from the actual [ace of the bank. Mr. McDonald said all front- end loaders operators were warned never to go too close to any banks or get between their loaders and the bank.

This hall is fairly new (only nine years old and all paid for); the appointments are such that an interior decorator would drool. Soft lighting combined with the sense of welcome make it a Legion Branch not to be missed. On Saturday evening I was luclw enough to attend the dis- trict ball. Music was provided by a wonderful little combo â€"â€" four pieces. One of the musi- cians was the mother to another member of the group. She blew one of the sweetest trumpets heard anywhere. The group called themselves “The Twy- lites”. As their name implies, the music was sweet and low. I could even dance. A change of pace. Swing for the younger set. Loads of fun, laughter and pleasant company. Intermission. Tickets were sold by smiling ladies of the auxiliary. Proceeds from this draw go towards new equipment for the new hospital. After the draw, the ladies auxiliary served a tastefull buffet that was much appreciated by all those attend- mg. During the weekend of Octo- ber 16-18. your reporter had the opportunity of visiting Branch 116, Strathroy. This branch was hosting a district seminar on leadership and development. Once again dance time and the hours fled before the wings of times. The National Anthem brought the exciting evening to a close. Bright eyed and bushy tailed we all rallied round at 0900 hours for the beginning of the seminar. Steaming coffee and fresh doughnuts were on tap through the whole day. The lectures were interesting and well presented. Any questions from the floor were well thought out and the answers were concise and clear. Every- thing rolled along like some welled oiled piece of machinery. Lunch time. Again the ladies (bless their hard working souls) provided a dinner that found nothing wanting. Everyone had brought their appetites with them and the hot dinner soon disappeared like snow beneath a hot sun. On to the second half of the seminar. Again lectures, questions and answers that left us with information that will directly help every branch. To the wonderful members of this hard working branch; to the ladies auxiliary; please accept the sincere thanks and congra- tulations of all those attended. Your hospitality and that of your community will long be remembered. Thank you. To the members of ’ this squadron that won awards at the squadron dinner on October 15, we offer you our sincere congratulations. To those who didn’t win â€" remember there is always another chance and you can try a little harded. Your efforts are to be commended. Congratulations to you ladies of the auxiliary for the super job and you did filling in dur- ing the emergency. Your help was greatly appreciated.

Royal Canadian Legion By Chris Ratchford â€" 884-5260 Saturday night October 17 was cool and bright. The fire roared merrily shooting sparks into the sky. The reflection from flames lit up the laughing faces seated around it. This set the scene for the evening. The aroma coming from the huge pot was mouth watering. Just wait until we sinlk our fang-s into that com. Anyone want a hot dog? Fingers were made be- fore forks in this instance. Jokes were flying around. Some friends were meeting again for some time. Old acquaintances were telling all the news from some time back. It was an even- ing of fun. Say, George, just how old is that pot that the corn is cooking in? I would imagine it to be about 125 years of age. The social evenings are get- ting better. Would like to see more of the community out to share our evenings of entertain- ment. Our Friday nights are full of surprises; laughter abounds; fn'ends greet one an- other after a long week's labor. This is how we relax. Getting recharged for another week of toil.
