NO PLATES
A used motor vehicle which is
up for re sale — whether pri-
vately or through a dealership
— must come with a certificate
of mechanical fitness.
New legislation stipulates that
after November 1, 1968, the new
owner of a used motor vehicle
must produce a certificate of
mechanical fitness to the Ontario
Department of Transport (notice
of a sale or transfer must be
given within six days) or he must
surrender the plates and an Unfit
Vehicle Permit will be issued.
He will then be unable to drive
his newly acquired vehicle until
a certificate of mechanical fit-
ness has been produced to the
department. At this time, his
plates will be returned to him.
Dealers are required to sur-
render the licence plates of used
motor vehicle to the department
if at the time of a sale, the car is
unfit for the road.
One local car salesman said
his firm has a policy not to
sell a car unless it can pass
a mechanical fitness check. The
car is junked if unfit for the
road. At the time of purchase,
the new owner is presented with
a certificate of mechanical fit-
ness which has been signed by the
mechanic who made the check.

the past i we have encour-

The regular Schedule of the
B4eter and district Rec spitball
league closed with 4 pair of
games, Monday night, but the
Standings could still be changed.
•if several postponoci games are
rescheduled.
Official league standings Were
unavailable at press time, but it
is believed the Exeter Legien
club hold down first place by a
single game with three clubs, the
Crediton Tigers, Kinsmen and
BA 98's in a three way tie for
second spot with seven wins each.
Hughes Boat Works of Cen-
tralia, a new entry this year have
won four games to date,
In. Monday's action, Crediton
outlasted the Legion 14-13 in an
extra inning contest and the Kins-
men blasted Hughes Boat Works
19-2. Thursday night, Crediton
edged the Kinsmen 6-5.
LOTS OF WALKING
Players of both teams received
lots of exercise on the base paths
in Monday's Crediton win over
the Legion, mostly because of the
wildness of the pitchers.
Each team drew seven walks
from the opposing pitching staffs
and base hits in the right places
provided plenty of runs.
The Legion jumped into a 10-2
lead after two innings of play
before Crediton could obtain the
services of a regular pitcher.
Stan Lovie, a first time starter
went the first two innings on the
hill for the Tigers.
Veteran right hander Gord
Slaght, in his first start of the
season kept the Legion boys in
check most of the way as his
team-mates kept pecking away at
What looked like an unsurmount-
able deficit.
Jim Hennessey's double and a
single from the bat of Catcher
Murray Brintnell provided most
of the power in the opening inn-
ing Legion splurge.
Another extra base blow by
Hennessey, this time a triple and
Chub Edwards' two bagger along
with several walks sent the next
five Legion runs across the plate
in the second.
Crediton hit the score sheet
for the first time in the second
with singles by Paul Greenwood
and Ron Grasdahl producing two
runs.
Stan Lovie's triple after a
couple of walks upped the Credit-
on run total to four in the third
frame..
Singles by Slaght and Cam
McArthur were mainly respon-
sible for another four Vger tal-
lies in the fourth. Slaght crossed
the plate in the fifth with a single
run and four more followed in the
sixth with Harvey Vincent's triple
,vsbeing the big blow. This tied the
.snore at 13-13 after the Legion
had scored three times in Ow fifth

in the sixth to provide most of.the
batting power for his club.
Bill Fisher on the Kinsmen
hill collected three hits and drove

Dick Coulter crossed the plate
with the winning Crediton run in
top of the eighth inning.
HOMERS HURT
A couple of home runs were
the big blows in the Monday night
contest in which the kinsmen
slaughtered Centralia 19-2.
Catcher Jim Hewitt delivered
a first inning round tripper and
Jim McDonald blasted a similar
long ball in the sixth.
Dun Bell, on the Kinsmen
mound was in top form, allowing
only one hit over the seven inning
distance and striking out a total
of 13.
Almost everybody will be af-
fected in some way by the up-
coming changes in the Ontario
Highway Traffic Act. Effective
September 1 police will be making
charges under new legislation
aimed at drivers, passengers and
pedestrians alike.
Car operators will be inter-
ested to know that after Septem-
ber 1, a magistrate may sus-
pend the driver's licence of one
who travels 30 miles per hour
or more over the posted speed
limit.
Farmers who drive tractors
and self-propelled farm imple-
ments on the highways must have
these vehicles and any vehicle
being‘ pulled by either of them
equipped with a "slow moving
vehicle" sign, effective Septem-
ber 1.
These bright triangular signs
are available from dealers in
Exeter for under $5.
Motorcyclists must wear ap-
proved helmets while riding their
motorcycles after September 1.
The regulation specifies both the
bike operator and any passengers
he may carry with him must be
so attired.
Passengers, also, who ride in
house or boat trailers are liable
for prosecution under a new law
which prohibits such transport.
Attaching oneself to a moving
vehicle, whether for purpose or
pleasure, is also prohibited by
law.
Pedestrians may be charged
for walking on highways with
speed limits of 50 mph or over.
New regulations make it possible
for municipalities to pass bylaws
