Motorists Don't Know
Where To Stop: Cadi
Many drivers don’t know where
to stop when they come to a
stop street, Magistrate Dudley
Holmes said in Exeter court on
Tuesday.
.Many wrongly believe they are
required to halt heside the stop
sign, he said, but the highway
traffic act provides that cars
must stop immediately before
entering the traveled portion of
the highway.
‘"There is a great lack of
knowledge as to where the stop
should -be made,” the magistrate
Stated. “Stop signs in rural dis
tricts are at least 15 and not
mere than 50 feet from the inter
section. The Act says it is most
improper to stop at the sign; it
requires that a driver bring his
vehicle to a stop immediately
before entering the travelled
portion of the highway. The
driver must yield the right of
way to ears approaching on the
highway.”
“‘Many drivers do not know
their obligations under the act”,
he stated.
His comments were made dur
ing the -hearing of a careless
driving charge against Grant
Amos, of Ailsa Craig, who re
ceived a $20 fine and costs as a
result of an accident at an inter-
COMING EVENTS
section in stephen Township on
November 18.
The accused said he stopped
at t he sign, approximately 4Q
feet north of the Crediton Road,
-and then proceeded across the
highway. He was struck by a car
driven by William .Schwartz, of
Crediton. The Schwartz car re
ceived $800 damage.
Three income tax convictions
were registered. Martin McIntyre,
of Exeter, was fined $25 each on
two charges of failing to file in
come tax and Mahlon Sauder, of
Zurich, was also fined $25 on a
similar* charge.
A.charge of leaving the scene
of an accident was dismissed
against Edward Windsor, 18, of
R.R.3 Ailsa Craig.
Witnesses testified a
car was damaged at the
of John and William Street on
October 29 but. although they
saw Windsor’s car strike a near
by pole, they didn’t see it strike
the car.
Elmer D. Bell, QC, acted for
the accused.
iDonald Ballantyne, 16, of R.R.
3 Exeter, received a suspended
sentence for driving with four
in the front seat of a pickup
truck. He was stopped by Hen
sail Police Chief Ernest Davis on
Hallowe’en night. The youth was
ordered to pay court costs.

Liquor Sales
Criticism of RCAF Station
Centralia for selling beer or
liquor to civilians was registered
by Magistrate Dudley Holmes in
Exeter court Wednesday.
Cadi Holmes suggested it was
just as illegal for the air force
to sell intoxicating beverages
civilians as it would be for
bootlegger,
'The criticism arose during
charge against Chester Cornish,
42, of Exeter, for creating a dis
turbance at the station while
drunk.
It was revealed that the ac
cused had been barred from the
canteen 'but got in under an as
sumed name and raised a row.
He was fined $25 and costs.
