The official opening of the residence took place at a ceremony Tuesday afternoon. NEW RESIDENCE Shown in front of the new 354 Mill St. residence for emotionally disturbed boys are from left: Dr.

Ted Bounsall, second vice-presi dent of operates director the Windsor Group Therapy Project which the home; Dale Swaisgood, executive of the Therapy Project, and Colin Wilkinson, Mill Street residence disturbed boys from school today because it's "a firetrap" and a construction safety hazard. On Monday night at a regular meeting of the Essex County Board of Education Mr. Geauvreau criticized the board for placing children in the unfinished school. Tuesday night, Mr. Geauvreau said he'd consulted his lawyer and was advised that he couldn't be forced to place his children in a school under heavy construction.

Mr. Geauvreau said he'd told the vice-principal of his decision and the vice-principal agreed it is not "a good safe situation." "There's no phone and no fire alarm system installed," said Mr. Geauvreau who estimated the nearest phone for emergency calls would be a block away. A spokesman for Bell Canada said this morning the company would attempt to have a phone in the school by tonight, or by the end of the week at the latest. John Kenny, business service manager, said workmen have been pulled off other jobs in order to speed up installation of a temporary service.

The original' schedule called for installation Oct. 1. Mr. Kenny said the company was not notified until the end of August that the phone system was to be installed. It normally takes 30 working days to get the equipment and install the system.

He said they are doing a permanent installation, a called for in the plans, in the unfinished part of the building, and running a temporary phone into the half of the school being used by the students. Mr. Geauvreau believes a number of LaSalle parents will follow his action. On By HARRY VAN VUGT With the snip of a ribbon, a new Windsor residence for emotionally disturbed boys was officially opened Tuesday afternoon, ending years of planning which at one time went up in smoke. The new home, at 354 Mill is operated by the Windsor Group Therapy Project, one of the 23 agencies supported by the 1970 United Fund.

Colin Wilkinson, Group Therapy president, said in an interview that the residence is for boys with "social problems of their own" and Company fined for misleading advertising about street lighting The Sandwich West Fire Department has twice inspected the new Sandwich West Public School for fire safety, but no findings have been Fire Chief Robert Tessier did say he is "not satisfied with it as it stands now." He said there were no fire extinguishers in the school, but the contractor, Eastern Construction, has agreed to place them in the school today. Chief Tessier said his department was still going over the reports of the inspections and the conclusions will be made known tonight. Meanwhile, at least one LaSalle resident, Willard Geauvreau, Matchette Road, kept his four children home 4-inch dip in bridge discovered DHO condemns Highway 18 span RIVER CANARD The bridge over River Canard on Highway 18 has settled four inches into the ground and has been temporarily "con-deraned," William Katarynczuk, district maintenance engineer for the Department of Highways, said today. The drop was discovered Tuesday when a DHO official from Toronto investigated a five-inch ridge in the centre of the bridge. A report on the extent of the damage and the future of the bridge is expected from Toronto before the end of the week.

Meanwhile, all traffic is being detoured around the 300-foot wooden bridge. Mr. Katarynczuk said the size of the drop indicates a possible serious failing in the bridge. He said the DHO will likely either recommend the building of a temporary bridge or repair work on the present structure. The district maintenance engineer said the drop could have resulted from either failure of the bridge's wooden pilings or problems with the soil.

The drop in the bridge occurred about 6 p.m. Monday, said Mr. Katarynczuk. Ontario Provincial Police, Essex detachment, began directing traffic around the bridge Monday after a complaint from a River Canard resident A DHO team from Chatham later closed off the bridge. The bridge is believed to be about 40 years old and is built on timber crosspieces set on wooden pilings.

Motorists are advised to continue using the same detour established Mondaythe Pike Road, Middle Sideroad or Texas Side Road as east-west routes south of the river, and either the Con. 3 or Howard Avenue as the north-south route. Trucks must use the Pike Middle Sideroad south of the river, and Howard as the north-south route. those who- have "home-life problems" in which a disturbance is triggered by environment. Six boys are already in the residence although it is designed for nine between the ages of eight and 12.

Mr. Wilkinson that the residence is designed to be "as much as a normal home as possible" in which boys will "be treated as if they are in a normal-type of home." Many of the boys will attend regular schools, he said, with the residence "used as supplemental training to help whether a "reasonable" man would be deceived by the advertisements. He explained that a "reasonable" man is not a lawyer but a "layman" who might receive and read the brochure and newspaper ad. The builder says he will install street lights but no street lights are installed. "There is no clearer case of deception," the judge said.

"The purchasers were mislead or deceived on this point," he said, pointing to the testimony of one Crown witness, Mrs. Sally Stuyles of Wolfecourt Drive, who said her decision to buy a house in the subdivision would have been affected had she known no street lighting would be provided. Prior to the decision, defence counsel Frederick Knight argued that the brochure and" newspaper advertisement were "nothing more than statements of intention to do something in the future." He argued that the section of the Combines Investigation Act under which the company was charged deals only with "statements of He said the advertising in question were "statements of intention, a promise in future," not statements in fact.

Among facilities in the residence are three bedrooms for boys, in the dormitory Wheelton said that it was "clear a mere promise is not a statement of fact. If in this case we had a simple promise to install street lighting which wasn't kept, we have mere statement of promise." However "here we have statement of fact which was misleading," he said. After finding the company guilty the judge asked for representations from Crown and defence counsellors as to sentence. Crown counsel, Ray Morrison, said that to date nothing had been done by the company to install street lights and that the company had no intention of installing street lights which "should be taken into At this point Judge Wheel-ton said that in his view the officers of the company were "careless" in regards to the advertising however he said he didn't know whether there was a deliberate intention to deceive on the company's part.

In a written decision Judge Wheelton said officers of the company were "careless" in advertising street lighting as one' of more than 40 extras to be included in Fontainebleau and Princeton Park subdivisions. Street lights were installed in Fontainebleau but not in Princeton Park and the company has no intention of installing them. 'In an advertisement for the Princeton Park homes which appeared in a June, 1967 edition of The Windsor Star, street lighting was included in a list of extras with a check mark beside each one.

A brochure, prepared by Major Realty Company, agents for Capital Quality Homes, also stated the homes featured street lighting paid for by Capital Quality Homes. A letter from company vice president James B. Gibson to- Edmund Blais of Birch Street, a Crown witness during the July 30 trial, admitted that "some" advertising, material refers to street lighting but the agreement of purchase and sale entered into by each purchaser of a house in the subdivision does not.

"There's not enough chairs some are working on the floor I checked the two fountains and there's not enough water coming out to wet your lips, he said. Blow torches and welding equipment are in use while there's still bits and pieces of paper and cardboard on the floor, he added. Mr.
