HURON COUNTY
FARM REPORT
By Q. W. Montgomery
Despite 5.53 inches' of rainfall
during May, seeding of spring
grains has new been completed.
Farmers were busy during the
week either seeding corn or getting
the ground ready for the seeding
of corn and white beams. The ex-
treme cool weather still retards
the growth of spring seeded crops
and hay and pastures.
Attendance at the Hensall and
Clinton spring shows was down
considerably, due to inclement
weather. The 50 Hereford steer
calves, which were shown and sold
at the Heneall Fair ley the members
of
the Hensall Feeder Calf Club,
brought an average price of 22%c
per pound with the Grand Champ-
ion calf bringing 28%e per pound
and the iReserve, 27e. •

OUT ON A LIMB
WITH BILL SMILEY
Did you ever get a SUM110.010.5. to
appear in court? Some peoPle
have had dozens of them, and treat
them with the indifference they -
deserve.
4: :0 e 4:
We got one at our house this
Week and it created more of a
tempest than the pipe -line at Ot-
tawa. About ten days before, we
had motored bo Winds•or, via Lon-
don. We left fairly Late, and 1
was bushed, so the Duchess drove
while I slept.
* *
On the way through London, not
too familiar with the route, she
was looking for a gas station, at
which to enquire. In the process,
she sailed through a red light.
That's dangerous and inexcusable,
but we all do it sooner or later.
The only tamable was her timing.
She missed, by 20 feet, a city
police petrel car.
* * *
it took him less than half a
block to catch up and nudge her
over to the curb. By this time I
was wide awake and the ensuing
dialogue wasa delight to the ears.
"Did you see that red light, lady?"
with all the sternness a tall, hand-
some, angry cop of 22 can muster.
* 2 * *
If I asked her that, the answer
would be: "What if I did? Who's
driving this car anyway? I've
often seen, you go through a red
light. If you hadn't been snoring
your head off you'd have seen it."
What she said to the cop was:
"Yes, officer" in the quietest voice
I've heard issue from her since the
day she said "I do."
* * * *
The officer, still vexed because
he'd almost been pranged by our
refugee from a used car lot, tried
to get her into an angument but
all he couldget was "yessir" and
"nosir" in the tones of a cooing
dove. No alibis were forthcoming,
so he said he'd have to give her a
summons.
* 4 * *
This didn't worry her -much, and
as the days passed and no sum-
mons arrived; she thought that
nice young policeman had prob-
ably changed his mind because
she'd been so polite. It arrived
Monday of this week.
* 4 * *
She still believed all she'd nave
/luta
until she read it. You should have
been there when she' got to the
part that says: "To command you,
in Her Majesty's name, to be and
appear before the presiding Magis-
trate . . ., London, on Tuesday,
the 5th day of June, at the hour
of ten o'clock in the forenoon, to
answer to said charge and to be
further dealt with, according to
law." Wow!
* * * *
She was flabbergasted for a
minute. But no more. "How can
they be so mean? They can't do
this to me. How can I go to Lon -
den? It would cost a fortune.
How can anyone be so horrible?
You've got to come with me. It's
all your fault anyway, you should
have been driving. 1 suppose I'll
be in court with a lot of drunk"
* *
Just trying to be helpful, I said:
"No they'll probably put you in
with the street -walkers." That
didn't noticeably improve her
spirits. "Wonder what that phrase
means" I wondered aloud, "where
it says 'and to be `further dealt
with according td law.' That
doesn't sound too good. Maybe
you should takeyour pyjamas:
Year may be going down the river
for a stretch."
She started figuring out what it
would cost to make the trip, hotel
room, meals, baby-sitter while she
was away, and a sizeable fine. I
mentally added another $50 for
contempt hof court, which was
automatic, in the frame of mind
she'd be in by the time she got
up in front of the bench.
* 8 *
The last straw was when she
realized the day she was to be
hailed into court was the day our
son was playing in the final con-
cert of the Music Festival. That
brought the tears and further ex-
ecrations upon the inhumanity of
the law.
* • * * 4,
I thought it was lime to read
to her what it says on the back
of the summons, to the effect that
if you want to plead guilty and
do not with to appear before the
bench, you just send along a money
order for $6.50. Which I did.
