Prosecution Lawyer Calls

Doctor M

By EDDY GILMORE

-The prosecution Monday night described Dr. John Bodkin Adams as a money-mad killer who sys- tematically drugged his rich pa- tients for profit.

"we say it was his greed that drove him on." said prosecutor Melford Stevenson. "a greed that was too great for him to wait until they died."

, The roly-poly 57-year-old doctor.- long respected in this Victorial seaside resort frequented by old folks, looked up from the pris- oners' dock. Then he scribbled on a note pad. and perspirator clung to his neck.

”The deaths of his patients have the same pattern," said the prosecutor. "A rich patient. Heavy drugging for months. Then the fatal dose at the end for the patient under whose will he ben- elits."

LONDON (Al--Foot - ' i . gun-totinit Englishmen are help- ing to chase the highly social fox hunting fraternity into extinction.

Br'er fox is still on the losing and.

Members of fox destruction so- cieties collect bounties for getting rid of foxes. The ministry of agri- culture pays 10 shillings (51.40) for every one slain. It has regis- tered l82 for destruction societies.

More and more farmers are joining the societies, and many are closing their broad acres to hunters who for years have gal- loped the countryside shouting "tally ho!”

Maurice Occleshaw spoke for a lot of farmers:

"The Stevenstone hunt used to come over my land. They dam-

aged hedges. left my gates open and frightened my stock. Fox hunting is cruel. Shooting. not hunting, is tha way to deal with the parts "

"Fox hunting is a hangover

amusement that agriculture can? no longer pay for."

The ministry of agriculture ad-. mits privately that it favors fox, shooting as the best way to keep; down the fox menace. but It won't' take a public stand.

Meanwhile. the fox hunt clubs; are encountering a if d it io n all troubles.

Foster Friendly Relations With

Foreign Students

WINNIPEG (CPI-The 238 stu- dents from overseas at the Uni- versity of Manitoba provide plenty of scope for activities of the Winnipeg committee for Friendly Relations with Overseas Students.

The FROS group formed six years ago in Toronto, is active here as on other college cam- puses. It arranges cultural and social activities. invites students to private homes. puts them in contact with clubs. educational and religious groups and finds them lodgings.

Mrs. F. J. Sharpe, executive secretary of the Winnipeg com- mittee, says she has constant

asking about I great variety of matters.

Each year several teas are held in private homes to which large numbers of the students are invited.

"Hospitality in homes is a mat- ter of mutual benefit in which hosts and guests share." said one committee member. "it is more than serving a good meal to a student away from home. It is an exchange of ideas. a meeting of minds creating friendships and impressions of lasting value."

At one such gathering the hosts were introduced to the mysteries of Indian cooking. with one stu- dent " paratha. a pancake- like food made of whole wheat flour. salted and cooked in but-
