The first game found Charlie's fall behind 4-2 in the first inning.' However, the Barbers were stop- i ped until the sixth inning when they scored two more. Meanwhile, Charlie's had tak- en a 9-2 lead. In the seventh inning Charlie's exploded for six runs to put the game out of reach. Rick Schilbe, Pete Regier, Rick Turkheiun, Kevin McKinnon, Gerry Rader and Gary Flaxbard had two hits apiece while Ron Corriveau had one. Bob Merner led the losers with two hits while Aubrey Bedard, New Chart Available For iCommercual Vehicles Regarding Maximum Loads The Ontario Department of Transport is making available a simplified reference table show- ing the maximum loads that com- mercial vehicles can haul under new weight laws recently passed by the Provincial Legislature. The table, which will be int- roduced by regulation under the Highway Traffic Act, will list the maximum load for every known vehicle operating in Ontar- io. This means a trucker will be able to check his vehicle on the master list and quickly deter- mine the manimum load it can carry to axle loading. The Department has mailed a questionnaire to every registered trucker in Ontario requesting de- tails on his vehicles so that these calculations can be made. Truck - New Policy On Driver Education At Huron Schools Policy regarding driver educat- ion in Huron County secondary schools was agreed upon last Tues- day evening at the Board of Educ- ation meeting in Clinton. The following recommendations were adopted by the board: (a) That the rate charged to students be set at $15; (b) That instruction- al time be standard at a minimum of 25 hours classroom instruction, eight hours in car instruction and 18 hours observation in vehicle; (c) That the rates paid for class- room instruction remain as they are at present with Clinton and Seaforth $6 per hour and Exeter, Goderich and Wingham at $7 per hour; (d) That the rates paid for "in car" instruction be set at a standard $5 per hour. Board members learned the variance in the cost of classroom instruction stems from the fact that different systems are employ- ed at the schools for driver educ- ation. In Clinton and Seaforth, a professional driver education in- structor handles the entire prog- , _ ram; in the remaining schools, the "in car" instruction and the classroom instruction is given by different people. As well, classes in Clinton and Seaforth for driver education are much larger than in any of the other centres. ers are urged to return the quest- ionnaires to the Department promptly. Those that reply will be notified of the maximum loads for their vehicles. In the past, the maximum load a truck could carry was calculated by gross weight loading. This system will be phased out during the next five years and replaced with a system of axle weight load- ing. The new axle loading law was introduced by the Department of Transport after an exhaustive study In essence, it incorporates the use of the Bridge Formula - a comp- lex engineering process - which will enable truckers to increase the basic allowable single axle loading from 18, 000 pounds to 20, 000 pounds, For the first time, the Bridge Formula provides a rational way to balance the apparently conflict- ing interests of the trucking indust- ry and the highway authorities. It shows how the truck owner can be allowed to carry the highest possible payload without shorten- ing the service lives of the pave- ments and bridges in the Province. The new axle loading law, which takes the form of an amend- ment to the Highway Traffic Act, will allow the vehicle owner a maximum of five years in which to register his vehicle under the Bridge Formula, This means that during the five years starting with 1971 registrations a trucker must decide whether he wants to cont- inue with the existing gross weight loading laws or change to the axle loading laws.
