"I'm favorably impressed when any citizen wants to hear why he is charged," he told Gum. "Radar is not a science of common knowledge," he added. He fined Gunn the minimum cost of $5,00 and costs of $1.50 on the charge, explaining he was happy to see the accused take the time to cone to court to find out about his charge and he also pointed out he 'Ise; Pei u1 pastoota next prir end of Crediton, which is not heavily populated, lie did not assess Gunn the usual costs of having the two radar operators make the trip from Kitchener to present their evidence in the case. (limo's fine was $10.00 less than the amount he would have to pay if he had settled the charge out of court, However, along with the two Kitchener OPP members, he had to spend from 10:00 a.m. to 6:45 p.m. in the court room before the case was heard. Hits friend Tinnald E. Anderson, Huron Park, was fined $15,00 and costs after he pleaded guilty to a charge of careless driving following. an accident on Al- D gonquin rive on August 18, Evidence revealed that An• derson had been following an- other car and although the first operator signalled a left hand turn, the accused at- tempted to pass him as he drew along side the first motorist commenced his turn causing the accident. Anderson admitted that he had seen the signal light in plenty of time, "Why did you attempt to pass him?" the magistrate questioned, "He was a friend of mine," Anderson replied. "That's no reason to hit him," the magistrate humor- ously pointed out before An- derson could finish his state- ment that he thought the other owner was going to let him pass before making the turn. Damage 10 the two vehicles was estimated at $175.00 by OPP Don Westover, who in- vestigated and laid the charge Dismiss charge A similar .charge of, careless driving was dismissed by the magistrate against Thomas 11, Exell, 19, Utopia, Ontario, in a case that lasted over three hours, The charge was laid against Exell sifter the gravel truck be Was driving was in collision With a_ car operated, by Law, relict, Wiltshire, Windsor, on a construction JO on of 21, two Miles south of St. Jo- enh.

OPP constable Don West- over estimated damage at $1,- 600.00 to $1,800.00 on the Wilt- shire car, while the truck suf- fered only very minor dam- age. Exell, who was represented by Charles Mackenzie, Exeter, said he saw the car through his side mirror but said it was a quarter of a mile to the north of him.

However, Harvey Wenzel, Mildmay, 'who was the dump- man, told the court it was not his duty to stop cars and there was no flag-man on the job. Wenzel estimated the speed of the Windsor car at between 65 and 70 m.p.h., although the owner said he was going only 45 ni,ph. Although the magistrate stat- ed he felt the accident was caused by the "unorthodox. move and poor driving of the accused," he said he did not feet there was sufficient just- ification to warrant a convic- tion of careless driving. However, he told Exell that he should he more aware of the travelling public, especial- ly when his truck was in such an unusual spot as on the east side of the road while going south. "During construction t h e rules of the road aren't abridged," the magistrate stat- ed, "although many workers on construction appear to think they have open season on oilier traffic," In other • eases, the magis- trate: Fined Joseph Adrien Andre Genesi; of RCAF Centralia $20,00 and costs for unlawful possession of alcohol after the young airman was found with a part bottle of liquor by Constable Lloyd Hodgins of the Exeter police department.
