Whitla in county court Tuesday reserved judgment at the close of the speedy trial of H. F. Permut Collegiate charged with breaking, entering and stealing 85 bales of cloth from the Sterling Cloak March 25. "There It a lack of cohesion about the whole case which leaves many blanks," Judge Whitla said. "The actiont of all parties were the most stupid I have heard In a criminal case." Judgment on Permut will probably not be handed down until after the trials of W.

Pritchard. 58 Humboldt and Morris Winecure, co owner of the Henderson Manufacturing both charged with the same offence. Pritchard's trial Is set for Sept. 17 with Winecure's probably the following day. C.

N. Kushner, counsel for permut, said In his final plea that the Crown evidence was brought against the accused mainly through three persons, two of whom were not only accomplices but contradicted each other. He submitted that all major witnesses for the Crown were lying. Judge Whitla Interjected: They are not very good Hart, either." Mr. Kushner added that there was no evidence to show that Permut was there at any time, and claimed that without such evidence the Crown could not prove that he was guilty of break' ing and entering.

Defence counsel referred to the Idiosyncracles of Crown evidence when he referred to Winecure's evidence earlier In the day. "Winecure, a businessman, goes at midnight to load merchandise at the back of a warehouse and yet says he does not know it was stolen," he said. "He has committed perjury."

bobby ia PREACHER, 82 STILL ON MANITOBA CIRCUIT By BRUCE LARSEN The Province of Saskatchewan was a mere twinkle in the eyes of a few statesmen in 1888 when Rev. John W. Ridd started preach ing in the territory. In those years the area was known as the District of Eastern Asslnlbola. Since the summer day that he preached his first sermon In the little village 01 urenieu, tne stout little minister has seen a lot of Western Canada and not once has he entertained thoughts of stopping his sermons.

"I'd be ashamed If I quit when I was still able to preach," he said. "Men In the ministry are scarce and I'm strong and willing." Now in his 82nd year, Mr. Rldd could pass for any age in the six ties. As he talked to a photograph' er and a reporter this morning in his home at 200 Home St, he let his thoughts slip back through 59 years of preaching. It's refreshing to think back over those years," he confided.

"I like sitting alone and quietly figuring out how many people I know. You see, boys, meeting people has been my only bobby through lite." Mr. Ridd retired from hie charge at Elm Creek 15 years ago. He Immediately jotted hie name down en the supply list Such work, filling In when regular ministers are sick or on vacation, hasjaken him from the lakehead to almost every cranny of Manitoba. "Up until last Sunday I had only one free Sunday this summer, he said.

"Next Sunday I'll be at St. Giles here in the city. I think I'll speak on Influence, on how It can't be hindered. My autumn Sundays are almost all booked up now." "1 want to go on with the work," he said. "I hope you can come back In 10 years and let me tell you how I've progressed In that time." Mr.

Berta Is a graduate of the Uni versity of Lund In southern Sweden. She is a member of the Balsgard experimental station. The hardiness and widespread variety of Canada's fruit production has caught her eye since coming to this country. "Fruit production In Sweden, is poor," she said. "We can only grow fruit in the southern part and along the coastal belt Even there production Is poor.

Most of our fruits cant stand the winter." Berta has devoted a great part of her attention to the study ot stone fruits plums, apples, etc. She hopes these hardy hybrids will boost Sweden's production. When Berta first arrived In Canada her English was poor. Now she can converse fluently. She returns to Sweden in Febru ary.

A partial list would Include: Fort William, Port Arthur, (Ont.)

F. T. Greer, district administrator, Department of Veterans Affairs, today reminded student veterans who have not yet obtained their letters of acceptance to university that they should do so and mall or bring them to their local DVA office immediately. "This Is Important In order that further educational assistance may be authorized on their behalf," Mr. Greer emphasized.

The district administrator also pointed out that student veterans who failed to make the required standing during the previous term must produce evidence that they attempted to clear all their sup plementals and have been successful In reducing them to not more than one.

Retroactive Civil Pay Agreementtlear Settlement of the nrotraet ed retroactive pay controversy between the Manitoba Civil Service and the provincial gov ernment seemed likely this week as both sides appeared to have reached a basis of adjustment The lump sum payment proposed by the province last May was approximately $275,000. To this sum will probably be added an amount, of about $15,000 which the Civil Service Association con sidered was coming to persons who died while in the service or who retired on pension during the period between May 1, 1944 and March 31, 1947. The latter date was the time fixed for putting Into effect the new pay plan recommended by the Civil Service Assembly of the united Mates and Canada and which the province agreed to accept. Yhi. brings the total lump sum payment to slightly mere than $290,000.

It is subject to seme Increases because of retroactive salary payments which by agree ment may be found coming for certain special cases. These art matters of adjustment. The government offer of a lump sum payment of about $275,000 in settlement of all retroactive pay claims was made in a letter from provincial secretary Charles E. Greenlay on May 5. In summary the offer was that employees on the civil service list on May 1, 1944, receiving a gross salary less than the initial salary proposed for them In the pay plan, would be entitled to retroactive pay.

The amount proposed was the difference between these two figures multiplied by the number ot months for the period after May 1 during which their gross salary was less than the minimum ot the new pay plan adopted last March 3L Gross salary was defined In the letter as Including cost of living bonus. a Harvest Laborers Badly Needed In Yorkton Area (Special to The Winnipeg Tribune) YORKTON, Sask, Sept 10 Harvest labor is desperately short in the Yorkton district figures at the Northeastern Saskatchewan office here indicate.
