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.

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.

' * * * , (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."
