      Age Not A Bar For 'Bar'

      A 79-year-old Sandwich West Township woman, who was described by Magistrate W. S. Pearson of Sarnia as being "a remarkable person for her age" discovered that keeping liquor for sale did not pay off.

      Mrs. Ann Belinski of 1730 Mark Ave was convicted Friday in magistrate's court on the charge and fined $100 and costs. In addition, the ground floor of her home was declared a public place for one year.

      Police testified that on April 17 they went to the Belinski home. Two officers said they were dressed in plain clothes and, without identifying themselves, asked if they could buy "a half case of beer."

      They said the accused said they could only buy "a full case" and that it would cost $9. The full case was purchased.

      Evidence also showed that the officers returned to the premises later in the day and found, after producing a search warrant, three full bottles of whisky, four empty wine bottles, 12 full cases of beer and six full bottles of sherry.

      When asked by her defence counsel, Harold Rosenthal, what she was doing with all that liquor, Mrs. Belinski answered: "I have a large family and I bought it for the Easter holidays I did not buy any liquor for the purpose of selling it."

      Doesn't Know Which One to Believe in Case; Dismisses Charge

De Froy, 367 Janette avenue, a neighbor, whom she had before Magistrate D. M. Brodie on a charge of using grossly insulting language on the public streets, an infraction of the public morals bylaw.
