At the inquest. at Freeland yes- terday to enquire into the cause of the death of Gerald Ellsworth, the Jury returned the following verdict. “We. your Jury empimellcd to en- quire into the cause which ter- minated the life of Gerald Ells- worth on October 21st, do agree that the d eased! death was caus- ed by s col ision with a. car operat- ed by Eimer Shaibeli on the Foxiey River Road and further agree that the same was accidental and that Elmer Shad-bell be exonerated from negligence on his part. We are mindful of the fact that, in as far as the ROMP. is enforcing the law regarding the making and sel- ling of alcoholic beverages, they are ever alert to their duty. We also do know that the Clergy of this Parish has ever exercised their in- fluence for sobriety. Nevertheless we consider that as citizens we would give the above mentioned parties constructive help and in- formation to rid this evil from our midst. We therefore recommend that more stringent measures be utilized to clear up this liquor traffic." Signed: Austin A. Ramsay, fore- man, L. J. Murphy, Beecher Best, Robert H.

The chief witness was Elmer Sharbell. The first witness called was Lucy Kllbrlde, Foxley River, who said she was on the roacl a- bort 6.30 P, M. and saw the car. it was not going vcry fast. She heard the bicycle but did not see it. she walked a‘ong behind the bicycle, and then there was a crash. She was about 100 yards from it when it happened. All she saw was the car in the ditch. She went up and saw Elmer Sharbell. Elmer said he had knocked someone down. I went, with him to see who it was. She did not think Elmer had been drinking. I went to George Hardy's to get him to help Elmer. George Hardy, farmer, stated that Lucy Kilbritrl-e came to his place about 6:30 p. m. and asked him to go to help Elmer Sharbell. who had knocked a man down. 1 went right away, the place was about 12 chains north of my house. I examined the man and found no signs of life. I could _ neil liquor strong off the victim .5 I was bending over him in the road. I could not notice any smell of liquor off Sharbell. The police were called from George Palmer's ouse. Alvin Hard corroborated the evidence of h father, George Palmer gave evidence that Gerald Ellsworth was at his house that morning between 10 and 11 o'clock. He was drinking, and had two bottles of what he called moonshine on him. Aubrey Malone, school teacher, Foxley River testified that Ellsworth came to his house about 5:30 Sat- urday eveni on a bicycle. He was in an in xicatcd condition. COrp. the siummerslde detachment R.

He suggested that the church might well con- sider the efficiency, hopefutness enlightenment and mercy of the church groups- that in the period of the people lifted up the giving for missions 25 per cent.

Dr. Laird pointed out. that after the war of 1914 to 1918 missionary givlngs continued until the depression money denied the boards of stew- udshps and let down their sup- port. This initial loss was when work had to be curtailed through lack of financial support. There is no sound convincing reason for such a serious drop in our giving. We spend money on other things and let the church dovim. What we eed is the unconquerable spirit and faith which will comml 1L1 from within to grapple with the problem. Resolutionst- . l.

Collaborating with him today was Dr.. W. Edwin Moffett of Johns Hopkins. They reported on 2,332 white men. everyone of whom was in perfect health when examined, The ages of these men at examination were in the late thirties or early forties. Exactly half of them proved to be long-lived and half short-lived. At the time of examination not one of them showed the slightest sign of the disease or the "accident" that afterward killed t-hem. The 2.332 died of six different causes- haart disease, kidneys, diabetes, can- cer and accidents. The accidents were the common "garden" variety. like getting hit bv an auto or falling down stairs, The moral for the accident statist- ics seems to be that those who are going to get hit bv bad luck catch it early.

Ever since the start of the war the gcvemment has been regulat- fng this and regulating that-de- manding licenses for this and for that, until the people and the press have begun to rebel.

On a. broader plane, however, it has been claimed that the govern- ment's insistence that licenses must be issued before anything is import- ed into the country will have a bad effect on this country's trade as e whole. In addition has been claimed the effect of government pools has been to dlsorganize trades and rocket. prices as well as create unemployment. ‘Fhere have been one or irwo min- or skirmishes in the House on the economic side of the war but-there is an increasing demand from mem- bers for information relating to the flood of regulations controlling marketing schemes, Ordinarily the House would adjourn for a month or six weeks at this tdime. but the recess may be delayed while home economics are discussed.
