Fined $5OOverCollision
No Insurance on Vehicle
Magistrate Glenn Hays• here
yesterday fined Daniel McCor-
mick, RCAF StationClinton, 20,
the sum of $50 and costs of
$12.80 when the man pleaded
guilty to a charge under the
Highway Traffic Act, resulting
from the accident in which Mr.
and Mrs, • Borden Brown, May.
• were injured in ay.
McCormick had bought his
car in late April. He had no
insurance. He had beendriving
into Clinton; on Highway 8,
and was in a rear -end collision
with the Brown vehicle on Hur-
on Street. The McCormick car
skidded 180 feet before !striking
the other car, and driving it
some distance. Both Mr. and
Mrs. Brown remain in Clinton
Public Hospital.
"This was a terrible thing,"
said the magistrate . "A rnan
and his wife driving along, and
you come along like 'e mead per-
son and almost demolish their
car and put both in the hdspi-
tal It is inexcusable. This
is just as serious to me, that
you do this with your car, as
if you had gone at them with
a stick,"
When McCormick asked for
time to pay, the magistrate
commented, "You have money
to buy a car, and liquor, but
not for a fine? Do you get
credit at the liquor store? T
can see no reason for the
courts to extend time. - The
driving you did could easily
come under the criminal negli-
gence section of the code."
Magistrate Hays did' give him
14 days to pay, and warned hien
that if he drove while his lic-
ence was suspended, jail would
be the penalty.
D. W. Matthews, 18, RCAF
Station Clinton, was fined $40
and costs for having beer in his
car. Constables Shaddick and
Perdue apprehended him on
Huron Street, and found the
beer.

New Lists Out
For Spring Bulbs
New lists of fine spring
flowering bulbs are now in the
mai]: from Clinton Horticultural)
Society. There is a number of
new bulbs, which sound won-
derful for the garden.
For instance, consider the
Dud'oshnik, a yellow spotted', red
tulip, ten bulbs' are available
for 70 cents, to memrbers of
the Horticultural Society.
Membership fee is $1.00, re-
ports treasurer Clifford Epps,
and he notes that the premium
tells year is excellent — eight
bulbs of Red Shine, a beautiful
shiny red lily flowered tulip.
The government grants to
horticultural societies is based
upon the number of member-
ships . sol'd. These two sources
are the only one available to
the society treasury.
Situation of a horticultural
society ina town is a great
asset, In Clinton they keep the
flowers of the nurses residence
in good order, and keep the
bed at the post office point in
bloom in season and 'alto care
for the window boxes. at Lib-
rary Park curb. The fact that
they make new varieties avail-
able at reasonable cost, ,adds
to the interest and beauty of
gardens kept by members
throughout the town and
countryside,
A membership? Just +see Cliff
Epps with $1.00. He'll give
you a members card and you'll
qualify for the premium.
