days in jail at Clinton court last

1f many ale did what you
did, there'd be nothing left to
pay out when hard iimes came
around," judge Bays con -
timed, ed, "and I'm notbeingover
dramatic in saying' that
children -could go-'hunm if that
were allowed to continue."
Mr. Floyd, 29, failed to report
earnings that he had made as a
part-time hotel beverage
waiter from January to June -
'
1974, and Bruce Foster of the
Unemployment . Insurance
Commission (1.1IC) in London
said the Clinton area: man.ead_
received $348 overpayment in
• ° unemployment benefits.
_ When the Judge fined him $40
on each false statements Duty
Counsellor Gerald Hiltz argued
that Mr. Floyd be allowed six
months to pay thestiff fine.
"He has to make restitution,
. pay the court fine, leek up
fandiSrstippixt payments to his
first wife and he's got to live,"
Mr. Hiltz said.
"Yes, he does have a problem
doesn't he?" Judge Hays noted,
allowing Mr. Floyd five months

which he is required to make
restitution to the UlC,
Keith Bottema, 20, of Orange
sltryeet was found not guilty '
after one of two trials of the day,
in which he conducted' hit own
' defence..
The Clinton man had been
charged with having liquor
after the car he was riding 'in
with -two friends was stopped by
Clinton Constable. Wayne
McFadden who found a bottle
of whiskey and a puddle of
some alcoholic beverage on the
car's floor.
Mr. Bottema called.: his.. two
friends to the Stand where they
testified that the puddle was the
result of a drink that had been
spilt while the trio had been
hooking up the car's stereo in a
Bayfield garage. They also said
they- were transporting the
bottle of whiskey to a patrty
they were going to attend when
stopped by the police.
"Sometimes the truth is
stranger than fiction," Judge
Hays said and passed down a
verdict of not guilty.
A similar decision was
reached on Marie Proctor of 108
Raglan Street who was tried on
a charge of careless driving.
In a trial that resembled an
old Perry , Mason rerun,
Defence. Attorney Paul. Rivers
- - of Goderich produced _ a
photograph and 6 called on
witnesses to convince the court
that a dent in the left fender of a
car owned by Phillis Cleave of
Mitchell was not made by Mrs.
Proctor as she backed out of
her driveway.
Witness for the crown, Ernie
Brown, testified that he saw
Mrs. Proctor slowly back her
car out of the drive on March 6
to "barely touch the fender" of
the Cleave car that was parked
on the east side of Raglan
Street. •
He testified that Mrs.
Proctor's mar had stalled
several times as she backed out
and that a snow storm from the
previous day • made driving
conditions slippery and left
very lite room...to maneuver
onto the road which was lined
'with parked cars on both sides.
Mr. Brown said that after
"touching" the fender of the
Cleave car, Mrs. proctor
• checked It and announced. that
• she didn't think she had done
any damage before she drove
away.

• The attorney' went. on to cite
past cases which found that

careless driving and tht a
person doesn't have -.,,to be a
perfectionist when driving.
After deliberating, Judge
klays said that be was im-
pressed with all of- the wit-
nesses whotestified but in view
of the fact that Mrs. Proctor
had very little space to drive in
arid` witseclat-: 'the -
business of getting going," he
foundtheaccused not guilty.
A Stratford youth, who was
fined $75 or seven days in jail
for possession of marijuana,
was reprimanded for ap-
pearing in court dressed in
shote and aasleeveless shirt.
' "You may think this is 'an age
:of informality," the Judge told
Richard Roth, ut-this-is-still-
a court of law."
"I didn't think you had to get
dressed up," Mr: Robb replied.
Michael Burley, 16, was
penalized $200-0-20 days in jail
for what the court . teamed
"such a•gross act." Mr. Burley
-created IWO damage to a door
at Corrie's car ash on Victoria
Street when he rammed into it
with his car.
"If that's what drinking does
to you, I'd suggest you become,
a teetotaler even at your young
age;" Judge Hays told the
Goderich youth,. on learning
that the act of wilfui damage
had stemined from the minor's
consumption of liquor.
When 18 -year-old Michael
Bechard of Blyth spotted the
Clinton Polite cruiser foll6*1ii
him, he "got a little carried
away." and led Constable Don
Shropshall on a merry chase
down Highway 4 and area

drive shaft of his car snapped.
The Constable reported that he
began following the Bechard
vehicle when he noticed that it

an area in which "children can
usually be found playing on the
road.
"You'd be well advised to

ago and hadn't yet got used to
the different alcohol content of
Canadian ale. . .
