Spears, a short-statured sailor
kom Owen Sound, was fined $100
•and costs or 40 days in jail for
tireless .driving.
The youth admitted that when
he last appeared in court here as a

he didn't choose to take the ad-
vice; he was involved in another
fracas here only last Friday night,
the court was told.
The careless driving charge was
laid after, Constable Martin Horan
tried .to stop Spears as the youth
was driving around the Square.
The youthful. driver "took off"
at a high rate of speed, turning
off the Square and proceeding
through the town to Widder street
where he delivered a girl who had
been a passenger in the auto.
Magistrate Holmes said that this
time he wanted to make the penal-
ty stiff enough to discourage'
Spears from returning to Goderich.
He said. he had heard echoes of
the youth in juvenile court, and
that he was becoming "a complete
nuisance."
The youth requested .extra time
to find the money to pay the fine,
but he was refused. '
After a hurried consultation with
a few pals, Spears matte a new pro-
- oral: -w Re ---asked the magistrate:.
"If I leave 1':0 with you, will you
trust me until tomorrow night for
the rest?"

WITH BILL SMILEY
The Ides of March are past
At last.
But whether you can say it's
Spring •
's another thing.
* * *
The 17th of Ireland has come
and gone. The equinox (from the
Latin equus-horse, and nox-night;
loosely translated — nightmare) Is
upon us. Tomorrow, or the day
after, or maybe six weeks from
now, it'll be Spring.
* * *
One cannot help but admire the
dour reluctance with which Can-
ada relinquishes her clutch on the
National Season—winter: Spring
is gree£ed with all the ,e ithnsiaSfl1
a new potion for everlasting life
would areuse at an undertakers'
convention.'
* * *
And that's as it should be.. You
can't gambolin the woods like a
Botticelli maiden, just because it's
the 21st of March.. Not unless you
are able to gambol in' goloshes.
Come to think of it, some of those
Italian primaveras . would have
looked better in goloshes. Foot
* * *
Poet T. S. Elicit, the Edgar Guest
of the eggheads, opined that "April
is the cruellest month." Maybe so.
But 1 doubt if he'd have been so
dogmatic if he'd ever taken a stroll
in the True North Strong and Pres
some "first day of spring" in one
of 'those March zephyrs that would
freeze the brains of a brass
monkey.
* * *
For any honest, thin -blooded
Canadian, March is 31 days of pure
misery. ,He's just about at the end
of his tether, anyway, after a
gruelling, four-month, toe -to -toe
slugfest` with that capable heavy-
weight, Old Man Winter. He's
punchy, stili in there wily through
.sheer _.b.ghting Anstine ...SO:,.What's
he supposed to do just because
March 21st is the first day of
Spring? Peel off his 1 ng -handled
underwear, stick a daffodil ,behind
his ear and, launch into Mendel-
.ssohn's Spring Song?
* *
Not likely. It's much more prob-
able .that he'll contemplate the
occasion with the gloomy despair
of a taper trapped into a tea-party.
For 'March is a month to try men's
souls. -
* * ,«
The ,body, racked by a succes-
sion of bouts with the 'flu, is call-
ing feebly on its last reserves-
and getting no answer. The ward,
robe is a wreck. The mind is, a
morass of income tax evasions,
monstrous fuel bills, and, the cer-
tain knowledge that the .-muffler
and tailpipe on the car are eaten
through. '
* * * ,
(By Briane McLean),
This week, we're going to take
time off froin our "Brief;, Biogra-,,
phies'' to discuss one .of. . the newest
and most ambitious summer pro-
jects for the Royal Canadian Air
Cadets.
e * *
The Reserve Trades Training
Plan, known as RTTP, is a scheme
operated by the ROAF reserve to
provide pre -trained personnel in a
number of technical trades for the
various auxiliary •ti"nits across the
country. One phase of RTTP—
the one we're interested in—is an
eight-week summer course at vari-
ous units, Theunits.in this vicin-
ity are Toronto, Hamilton and
Windsor. Each year a certain per -
bag for $225 as a resulrof a cheque
cashed by the youth. The cheque
purportedly was signed by his, bro-
ther. For some reason, the cheque
was returned by the Fort ' William
bank on which it was drawn.
Spears said that, if the court let
him go, he would "scrape up" the
money' to pay the ,fine the next
day.'1. •-
"You're a great scraper-up-er,"
commented the crown attorney.
When he got off the boat last
season, Spears bought a car. Later,
as he himself described ' it, he
"scrapped" it. The carp he was
dtiving in Goderich when .the, con-
stable saw, him belonged to an-
ther "person. It has ..•since been
eked down around Mitchell,
ice said.
Spears indicated that he had
used the $22,5 from his brother's
cheque to .buy another car. .
"It's. getting- almost. too involv-
ed," sighed Magistrate Holmes.
"I get unemployment insurance
in the morning;', chirped Spears,
still seeking time to pay the fine.
Magistrate Holmes asked Police
Chief E:. M. Hall what sort of .a
risk he thought Spears was.
"I wouldn't give him any credit,
your -worship," declared the chief.
Spears lamented: "I *won't be
able to collect my unemployment
insurance unless I'm there."

centage of the quota is set aside
for the use of the Air Cadets.
* * *
The type of training varies with
the type of reserve unit involved.
Toronto and Hamilton, being Tech-
nical Training Units, offer' courses
in aero -engines, air frames, elec-
trical • s$tems, instruments, and-,
munitions `and weapons. Windsor
on •the other 'Band, being an Air-
craft Control Unit, offers only a
course iii (figh*ter* * control.
Because this is an RCAF -oper-
ated ,plan, requirements are strict -
Air Cadets wishing to take this
course must meet the following:
be at least 16. years of age; have
parents' consent in writing; have
cotppieted two years' air cadet
•training; have attended at least
one Air Cadet summer camp; pass
a specified medical, examination;
be recommended., by his command=
ing officer; be nominated by the
Ontario Provincial Air Cadet Com-
mittee; pass a specified classifica-
tion test.
The cadet is given a regular
Domestic life It at its lowest ebb
in March. The kids have holes .in
their rubber bgots; which does not
prevent then tracking in enough
dirt to fill the St. Lawrence Sea-
way.. Their zippers are shot, their
buttons are few and far bgtween,.,
and they have ,only one mitt left.
Their winter Clothes are in shabby
their parents ignore them in 'pub-
lic, hoping other people -won't
'know whose kids They are.
* * *
Their mother is like a caged
leopard. ' Her. nerves are rubbed
raw from mopping, up pools of:
water, looking' for people's hats,
and listening to the syncopated
thump and rumble of the stoker.
She's sick to death gf prying
frozen sheets off the .clothesline.
Hee skin is .becoming dried, out,
and the housecleaning looms, like,
some fearsome monster. It's wise
to tread softly, and in wide
circles, around her: .
Mind you, I'm not down on
Spring, as such. ...Give me a burst
of Sunshine,. -a. -.balmy - reeze, -ander•
a sight of green gress, and I'll be
quick as the next fellow, to get.
giddy and run off with a widow,
or whatever you're. supposed to do
in the Spring. "
* * *.
But when I know that the pile
of ashes 'in my cellar is four times
the size of the coal -pile, and there's
almost.,a foot of snow on my front
lawn, and I'm catching my seventh
cold of the winter, please, if you
value your life, don't -conic up to
me on March 21st and say bright-
ly: ' Well, first day of Spring, eh."
