Judge..
W
E.
Fisher
In
County
Court
Tuesday
afternoon.
"There
has
been
considerable
breaking
and
entering
in
this
town
lately
and
it
has
to
be
stopped,"
Judge
Fisher
said
as
he
passed
sentence
on
the
31-year-old
seaman
after
a
trial
which
included
testimony
by
two
juveniles
and
began
with
the
accused
challenging
the
right
of
W.
O.
Fulton
to
act
as
crown
prosecutor.
Key
witness
was
a
17-year-old
youth,
who,
also
charged
with
being
Involved
in
an
attempted
break-In
at
a
Westview
home
early
In
July,
told
the
court
how
he
and
Walter
had
entered
Dr,
Kergln's
office
on
Second
Avenue
on
the
night
of
July
1
and
had
ransacked
the
rooms.
Finding
nothing
of
Immediate
value,
Walter
had
taken
the
bag
of
medical
Instruments,
while
he
(witness)
had
taken
objects
which
he
believed
were
a
pen
and
pencil
set.
Witness
said
that
Waiter
had
deposited
the
bag
near
the
railroad
tracks
along
First
Avenue
East.
The
place
pointed
out
by
witness
on
a
photograph
was
also
pointed
out
by
10-year-old
Julian
Parnell,
native
boy
of
215
First
Avenue
East,
as
the
spot
where
he
had
discovered
the
bag
while
playing
on
July
2.
Dr.
W.
S.
Kergin
testified
that
the
bag
had
contained
a
variety
of
drugs,
including
a
small
amount
of
morphine,
but
that
these
had
been
intact
when
the
bag
was
returned
to
him.
Challenging
Mr.
Fulton's
right
to
act
as
crown
prosecutor
at
the
start
of
the
trial,
Waiter,
who
was
without
couns-el.
said
that
he
had
taken
Mr.
Fulton
"into
his
confidence
prior
to
the
preliminary
hearing
and
I
don't
think
ho
should
be
the
one
to
prosecute."
"I
gave
him
$5
Intending
to
employ
him
as
counsel,"
Walter
declared.
"Did
you
tell
him
at
that
time
that
you
were
going
to
employ
him?"
Judge
Fisher
asked.
"No,"
Walter
replied.
"He
merely
asked
me
a
question
concerning
the
right
of
habeus
corpus.
We
did
not
discuss
his
case
at
all.
I
was
entirely
unfamiliar
with
it
until
the
police
asked
me
to
prosecute,"
Mr.
Fulton
said.
"I
know
that
Mr.
Fulton
would
not
act
as
prosecutor
If
you
had
discussed
this
case
with
him,"
Judge
Fisher
commented
as
he
denied
Walter's
challenge.

Over
One
Man
Break
Down
Completely
TORONTO,
Aug.

tfi
A
general
strike
In
Canada's
vast
meat
packing
Industry
today
looms
as
a
possibility
as
strike
action
races
like
prairie
fire
across
the
western
provinces.
There
are
5300
workers
already
out
In
a
dozen
cities
and
thousands
more
will
join
the
picket
lines
on
Thursday
morning
unless
the
original
dispute
in
Toronto
Is
settled
before
that
time.
The
spark
that
set
off
the
strike
dynamite
was
one
man
In
a
Toronto
plant
of
Canada
Pack
ers
Limited.
The
United
Packing
House
Workers
of
America
demanded
that
the
man
be
trans
ferred
from
the
meat-killing
floor
where
he
la
said
to
have
threatened
his
fellow
workers
with
a
knife.
The
company
refused
the
union
demand
and
the
five
Toronto
plants'
employees
walked
out.
The
subsequent
strikes
are
sympathy
actions.
Failure
to
reach
a
solution
in
the
next
24
hours
will
mean
that
9,000
workers
In
nine
cities
will
be
Idle
while
18
meat
packing
plants
will
be
closed
down.
As
the
strike
flared
to
a
peak,
negotiations
'between
Canada
Packers
and
union
officials
broke
down
completely
and
the
union
called
on
ihe
federal
government
to
take
over
the
company's
Toronto
plants.

O)
The
sailor
gave
the
minesweeping
gear
trailing
astern
a
last
criti
cal
look,
then
turned
and
asked
What
Is
this
I
hour
about
there
being
a
peace
on?"
That
attitude
Is
just:
about
general
among
the
men
of
the
R.C.N.
31st
Minesweeping
Flo
una
the
ships
which
are
clearing
the
sea
lanes
of
floating
globules
of
TNT
so
that
ocean
traffic
may
move
In
safety.
Be
cause
they
Just
can't
get
the
feel
of
peace.
Since
May
8,
of
course,
they
have
noticed
changes
In
their
dangerous,
monotonous
work.
-
That
dread;
:
of'
everyKwartlme
vessel,
collision,
for
instance,
has
been
cut
to
a
minimum
because
ships
now
may
travel
with
lights
showing.
And
it
is
quite
a
thrill
after
nearly
six
years
of
black-out
sailing
to
see
the
minesweepers
bobbing
like
a
bunch
of
animated
Christmas
trees.
Port
holes
may
be
left
open
to
give
much-needed
ventilation,
but
only
if
the
sea
Is
not
rough.
And
you

without

There
are,
too,
other
little

an
offence
which,
when
U-boats
were
on
the
prowl,
was
an
invitation
to
disaster.
Dangerous
Work
Ahead
But
aside
from
those
minor
details,
life
on
a
minesweeper
today
Is
little
different
from
what
It
was
before
May
8.
There
Is
still
sudden
death
awaiting
the
unwary
sweeper
as
It
noses

Atlantic
or
North
Sea
In
search
of
the
thousands
of
mines
strewn
during
the
war
years
by
Allies
and
enemies
alike,
and
the
old
wartime
routine
goes
on
as
it
did
when
this
ship
sailed
Channel
waters
under
the
muzzles
of
German
guns.
Because
It
is
a
recognized
fact
that
at
any
moment
a
minesweeper
may
strike
one
of
the
mines
for
which
she
Is
searching,
lifebelts
are
ordered
worn,
just
as
In
wartime.
For'
the
same
reason
forepeaks
are
flooded
In
order
to
help
protect
the
ship
from
the
shock
of
an
explosion.
Every
morning
sweepers
re
sound
to
the
squeak
of
gun
pivots
being
exercised
as
the
guns
may
be
needed
on
a
moment's
notice
to
sink
a
severed
mine
which
Is
floating
too
close
to
the
ship.

And,
Just
as
in
wartime,
men
of
this
flotilla
can
see
no
Immediate
end
of
their
Job.
Their
orders
are
to
sweep
and
ac
cording
to
official
Admiralty
figures
there
are
260,521
British
mines
alone
to
clean
up
before
tne

to
an

(CP)
Mobile
guard
units
of
the
French
Army
are
surrounding
four
airfields
near
Paris
today
awaiting
the
return
by
air
of
arch-traitor
Pierre
Laval.
It
Is
believed
that
the
four
guards
detachments,
were
arranged
so
as
to
not
identify
definitely
the
airdrome
at
which
Laval
Is
expected
to
arrive.
French
authorities
fear
that
angry
pollus
will
kill
Laval
if
they
can
get
their
hands
on
him

VARIETY
STORE
BROKEN
INTO
Smashing
a
small
window
pane
at
the
rear,
thieves
entered
the
Variety
Store
on
Third
Avenue
during
the
night,
stealing
an
undetermined
quantity
of
toys
and
knick-knacks
from
display
counters.
A
few
dollars
in
change
in
a
"Milk
for
Britain
Fund"
bottle
was
also
taken.
Manager
Gordon
Bryant
who
discovered
the
entry
when
he
opened
the
store
at
9
o'clock
this
morning,
said
he
believed
children
or
youths
had
been
responsible.
Mr.
Bryant
called
city
police
who
are
conducting
an
Investigation.
No
attempt
was
made
to
tamper
with
the
safe,
police
said.
"It's
pretty
hard
to
tell
exactly
what
was
taken,"
Mr.
Bryant
said.
"It
was
toys
and
small
articles
so
I
believe
the
store
might
have
been
entered
by
youths."
There
was
blood
in
evidence,
indicating
that
the
entrant
had
been
cut
in
getting
through
the
window.
Indlcaions
were
that
the
office
of
the
store
had
been
visited
but
there
was
little
disturbance
there.

Olsen
and
