Clinton Court
Two young men chose to fight
their own battles in magistrate's
court here on Tuesday, and lost
them both. John W, T. Boyd,
RCAF Station Clinton, was charg-
ed with going over 30 m.p.h. last
Thursday evening, and was appar-
ently abusive and unto-operative
when Chief Constable H. R.
Thompson apprehended him.
Magistrate Holmes said, "I've
never known the chief to be ex-
cessively anxious to add numbers
to those he charges. If he charges
anyone of an infraction, then you
may be sure he feels they are
guilty. The chief has that duty
to observe and warn or lay a
charge. Drivers do not show as
much care as a •constable does."
The fine was $10 and costs.
David Horton, 19, was charged
with going through a red light at
the main intersection on informa-
tion laid by Constable A. Shaddick.
The fine was $5 and costs.

Local Man Sells Two
Race Horses in Quebec
A. M. Knight has sold his 5-
year old pacer Milton H. Bars to
Quebec City buyers. This horse
was trained at the local track
during the past winter and early
spring by Scott Kerr and shipped
to Quebec City with the Keith
Feagan stable. Two weeks ago he
finished second in 2.11, was then
sold and won his first start for
the new owners last week in 2.11.
In the fall of 1956 Mr. Knight
sold the consistent pacer Silent
Knight to Quebec City Dairies
and he also raced well for his
new owners, taking a record of
2.08. He also won in 2.10 at Qu-
ebec City last week. It appears
that Quebec City people like Clin-
