The Goderich Signal-Star, 1958-12-11, Page 5,TITURSD,A.:Y DEC. 11th, 1958 Like professional criminals, Can- adiati winters destroy all possible clpes after playing havoc with per- ennial crops. It has always been difficult to .pin- Feint what it is about winter that kills plants, since estimates of dam- age are made in the spring after the evidence has been wiped clean, #ut tests are under way at the Central Experimental Farm that may throw some light on, the sub- ject. - Canada Department of Agricul- ture field husbandry experts are reviving'sample plots of field crops from winter dormancy and stimul- ating them to grow by placing a small, bottomless growth chamber over them. Heat and light are supplied arti- ficially. Snow and soil thaw and thea plants begin to grow. The' regrowth and -vigor are indicative of the amount of winter -kill up to that time. .By placing the cham- ber on various plots periodically through the winter, damage to crops by various weather factors can be evaluated. Effect Of ice After two winters of research, it is known that- ice sheets are disastrous to 'wintering alfalfa. Plots covered by ice for four weeks showed completes kill of plants by December 20. Pilots kept bare dur- ing the 195647 -winter, _resulted in complete kill by February L On -"the " other hand, four inches of snow over alfalfa caused 100 per cent survival of the erop. During mid-December last year, a warm spell, started alfalfa grow- ing in' the :fields. A subsequent — -roll.- snap caused 35-- per --cent winter -kill: Nearly 10 inches. of snow followed and remained all winter. Injury 'evaluations in Feb- ruary showed no kill whatever. It appeared the crop, set back by the cold spell at. the first of this year, was able, to fully recover - h ts--under--a. proteetive --l-a-yer- of snow. Little frost occurred in the soil with this snow cover.. Tests spread over several winters will be 'required before results are considered conclusive.

That's right, Mum and bad will be' making like Leafs and Canadiens ! The Point Systemis designed to protect pedestrians and the millions of careful Motorists from the small minority of negligent drivers who abuse the privilege of operating a motor vehicle. Protects good drivers—corrects bad drivers. The good drivers will be safer than ever before. Forgetful motorists will be encouraged to.,impnove„their drivin habits. Proof of the effectiveness of the Point System in reducing accidents is -provided by its success in other provinces and in the United States. It is designed to save lives-- including yours. How the POINT SYSTEM works Points will be added to the dfiviiig record of motorists upon conviction for offences as listed below. x, 12 points within a 2 -year period Will bring licence suspension for 3 months. An additional 12 point accumulation within a 1 -year period will bring 6 months' suspension. A driver with6 points will be advised of his record .and asked to improve his driving. 'At 9 -points the motorist will be asked to attend an interview and show cause why his driv- ing privilege should not be suspended. lie may be placed on probation or have his licence suspended if his attitude reflects irresponsibility. Points are deducted from the redord 2 years after the date of conviction. After a period of suspension, a motorist will begin with 110 points against his driving record. Each motorist' will receive a folder describing the Point System in detail when applying for his 1959 Driver's Licence. , • POINT SYSTEM SCALE - POINTS VIOLATiON 12 Criminal negligence involving the use of motor vehicle 12 Driving while intoxicated . 12 Driving while ability to drive is impaired 1 'obtaining 'licence by misrep- resentation Upon conviction for any of "lie above offences, suspension is mandatory for at least 3 months 9 Foiling to stop at scene of accident 5 Careless driving 5 Raring ” POINTS VIOLATION - 5 Exceeding speed limit by 30 m.p.h. or more - 3 Exceeding speed limit by more than 10 m.p.h. and less than 30 m:p.h. 3" 'Folling to yield right-of-way 3 Failing to obey d :top sign or ^ signal -light 3 Failing to report.an accident 2 Exceeding speed limit by 10 m.p.h. or under 2 Improper passing 2 Failing to 'hare road.
