o . Wilfred E. Cal- laghan presided at the inquest, and the Crown was represented by Summerslde Police Chief Donald Wannamaker.

The autopsy report revealed that death was due to drowning. and that there was no trace of alcohol.

Lawrence Gallant. the first of three witnesses. told of his es- c ' by jumping. from the truck when it seemed evident that the vehicle would plunge over the cement ‘ramp into the

a er. Arriving at the wharf about 5 p.m. from where they were haul- ing potatoes, he said the deceas- ed had turned the truck toward the ramp to back into a railway car, and appeared to have dif- ficulty in getting the truck into reverse as it continued forward

a “creeping" rate of speed towards the side of wharf and over into the harbor.

The witness said he had jump- ed from the truck and had yell- ed at Mr. Dyment to jump also.

Creative

criticize, but usually in groups of two," she noted.

Mrs. Springford told the Ro- tarians that all people need to have creativity as part of their lives. and the community thea- s a means of achieving this end. "This will prevent us from having stereotyped charac- ters." she said. ' NATIONAL THEATRE

The guest speaker forecast that some day in the not too distant future Canada will have 5 national theatre. Stratford. Ontario. was one of he great theatres, she noted.

"We like a good clean fight and a good audience." she con- cluded, “Don't just buy a ticket. come backstage and see us too.‘
