Last week I went fishing and I parked my car P near a bridge and went fishing. To-day I received a summons. The summons states I was inter- fering with traffic. I had to park on the road because there was no shoulder, and besides, cars could drive around me. ANSWER: It is true that we have new laws but I must say this is not one of them. This one has been around for a few years. The section that you were likely charged with states, "Notwrth- * standing the other provisions of this section, no person shall park or,stand a vebicie on a highway in such a manner as to interfere with the Movement of traffic or the clearing of snow from the highway. QUESTION: Dear Constable: What are the regulations re- garding carrying alcoholic bev- erages in boats? ANSWER: • When it comes to liquor, our laws are very easy to under- stand. Liquor may be conveyed by a person in lawful possession from a residence occupied by himself to a residence to be oc- cupied by himself. It may also N be conveyed from a place where liquor can be legally purchased, for removal from the premises to the residence of the purchaser. There are exceptions to the above rule, so if you- are in doubt, I suggest you contact your polica_ ty force, QU ESTION: Dear Constable: Where does a Policeman get the authority to direct a truck to Weigh scales to be weighed? ANSWER: The Police officer gets his authority from the Highway Traffic Act. The Act states, "Any constable or any officer appointed for carrying out the provisions of this Act, having reason to believe that the weight of a vehicle and load is in ex- cess of that permitted by Act or in excess of that authorized , under the permit issued for the " vehicle, may weigh the same either by means of portable or stationary scales and may re- quire that such vehicle be driven to the nearest scales if they are within a distance of ten miles and, where it is found that the vehicle is carrying an excessive load, the constable or officer may require the driver. to forth- with remove so much of the load as is necessary to bring it within the weight so permitted or authorized." If weigh scales are not within ten miles, there are other me- thods available to the officer for obtaining the weight. QUESTION: Dear Constable: Is there a law stating how high the SMV (slow moving vehicle) sign must be from the road, when I have 'the sign fast-. ened on my farm machinery? ANSWER: Yes, there is, in the Highway Traffic Act Regulations under the section concerning the slow moving vehicle sign. It states that it shall not he less-than 3 feet or more than 6 feet above the roadway.. QUESTION: Dear Constable: Do you lose points for not having a SMV sign on your farm tractor? ANSWER: In order to answer this quest- ion correctly, I first must state that no person can lose 'points, he only accumulates points and you do not accumulate points for not having an SMV sign on your farm tractor. QUESTION: Dear Constable: I was stopped oy a police officer last week and told that my Slew Moving Vehicle sign was- upside down. I knew that I must have one on my vehicle, but I didn't know that the law specified how it should be mount- ed. Mayne you should tell the other people about this because I am sure there are many more like me who do not know the law. ANS_WER; That is a good suggestion. The Highway Traffic Act states that the Slow Moving Vehicle sign shall be mounted base down in a plane perpendicular to the direction of travel of the vehic- le; which means, briefly, that the wide portion of the sign, 1.2/ inches, must be at the bottom and the 4 inch wide portion at the top. QUESTION: Dear Can a truck go down the road carrying gravel and spill it on the road and have stones flying up and chip paint off cars? ANSWER: -No, it can not. The High- way Traffic Act states, "No person shall operate or permit to be Operated upon a highway any commercial motor vehicle or trailer unless the load that such vehicle or trailer is carry-. ing is firmly 'bound, sufficiently covered, or otherwise secured or leaded, insuch manner that no portion of the load may be- come dislodged or fall from the commercial vehicle or trailer. QUESTION: Dear Constable: Can I stop to let out pas- sengers in a zone that has a sign that-states No Parking? ANSWER: The Highway Traffic Act states, "Park" or "parking"when prohibited means that standing of a vehicle whether occupied or not except when standing temporarily for the purpose of and while actually engaged in loading or unloading ,merchand- ise or passengers. QUESTION! Dear Sir!' • If a cattlebeast breaks out on the road, 'Who must pay for damages, the farmer or owner of the cattlebeast, or the mo- torist? ANS WER: • This is a question which I am asked, many times. The only answer I can give Co it is that it would be a civil matter. The only way a police officer would be involved would be the part of investigating the accident and giving his evidence in court. QUESTION: Dear Constable: What is the correct procedure for issuing a summons? ANSWER: I can not really do justice to this question, because space does not permit me to really answer this question ffilly. Basic- ally, there /are two methods, one by mail, the other, if it con- cerns the Highway Traffic Act, by on the spot summons, com- monly known as a traffic ticket. lo the-latter a summons could also be sent by mail. QUESTION: ' Dear Constable: What does the buggy book say ahnittslow drivers? ANSWER: If by the buggy book you are referring to the Highway Traffic Act, it states, "No motor vehicle •shall be driven on a highway at such a slbw rate of speed as' to impede or block the normal and reasonable movement of traffic thereon except when such slow rate of speed is necessary for safe operation having regard to all the circumstances."

Quite a few of the farmers have completed haying while a few are still at it. All the crops could use a good shower as growth is slowing down. The cord crop is looking good with good growth. The white beans, need some moi- sture as their growth has slowed down. On the average there are some very good stands. A few root rot problems are still occur- ring,, especially on the heavier soils. There has also been some incidents of the corn seed mag- got attacking the roots. If these problems have occurred, the farmer should hill his beans up higher to encourage roots high- er up on the stem. The spring grains are looldrig good and again a good warm rain would help.
