But, said Magistrate Scott dur- ma the hearing of a case of im- aired driving, how can_ police now what to expect of a drunk when they have never seen a so- per person take the tests? | Police said the man on trial had Nifficulty performing the tests. But his lawyer argued that it Nidn't prove anything because the man had a back injury. | The man was convicted, how-| ever, following evidence of the} Amount of alcohol in the blood} shown by chemical breath tests. | Oscar Orr, senior police mMagis- | trate, agreed with Magistrate | scott. | He tried one of the tests and Baid: ' "Look, I'm not perfect.

CALAIS -- The weirdies and eardies of England, 2,000 strong, Nescended on France Sunday in he biggest invasion this channel port has seen since the war. The weirdies and beardies he English equivalent of beat- hiks sailed into tthe harbor Aboard the motor ship Royal Daf- fodil, their band blaring rock'n'roll. The invasion was part of a "'rock Necross the channel," an excursion Hesigned to foster friendship between Calais and southend. The males among the jivers wore silk hats or bowlers, outsize dark glasses, jeans, beards and sweaters as tight as their skin. Their high collars reached to. the hair. The girls were. less spectacu- lar. Some even were stuck with last year's beat style of men's shirts worn outside the waist band. The rest wore tight jeans or flap- per skirts ending above the knee. Ashore the rocking went on un- bated: with the invading legions re- inforced by French youngsters. After a dozen numbers ithe En- glish rushed back to the ship and rocked off.

POOLE -- Port officials thought they had perhaps overlooked an important occasion when the Dut- ch vessel Caribia arrived with all flags flying.

TORONTO -- Adjustments will be made to Grade 13 English exa- minations if it is' found that this year's examination was too long, officials of the Ontario department of education said today. Students writing the examina- tion have complained that few were able to finish all the quest- ions. Department officials said ad- justments would be made so candi- dates wouldn't suffer. Registrar Dr. Corbin Brown said examination papers now are be- ing marked and it is too soon to assess the difficulty of the exam- ination. Education Minister Ro- barts said he had not heard com- plaints, but if he did he would look into it: Superintendent S. D. Rendall said students are safeguarded by a revising board which goes over all Grade 13 marks to make any necessary adjustments. "Hivery year there are com- plaints. about examinations that are too hard: or- too long,' Mr. Rendall said. "There certainly have been cases where all marks on an examination had-to be adjusted."' Officials of the education depart- ment said of the 17,275 students who wrote the English examina- tion, 3,646 failed. LOUISVILLE -- A. C. Gangy sells fishing worms on the honor system.

Just as the Queen entered the paddock with her husband, Prince Philip, a big horse named Grey Days began bucking. A flying hoof knocked over a stable boy. Handlers grabbed for the horse's reins, but the fright- ened animal whirled and bucked around the paddock and headed in the direction of the Queen. With regal poise the Queen stood stock still. The animal swerved to one side and a jockey grabbed its bridle. "Close," said a stable boy. The Queen said nothing. Unruf- fled, she and Philip spent a few minutes in the paddock and then returned to the royal box. A few minutes later she saw her horse, a grey filly named Aiming High, heading down the stretch with a chance to win. "Oh, go on, go on," she' shouted. Prince Philip, although no great fan of horse racing, got to-his feet and cheered as Aiming High cross- ed the finish line first. It was the Queen's first Ascot win since 19- 59. ANSTRUTHER -- It could have have been something out of a po- em by Robbie Burns. A mouse went to church and had a Bible flung at it. Worshippers in the Anstruther Kirk detected a scratching sound | while praying. And there, in front of the communion table, was the mouse, twitching its whiskers. The prayer was concluded, but the hymn which followed didn't go so well. The sopranos squeak- ed, and ladies tucked their skirts in close. To restore decorum, a town butcher finally picked up the handiest object, a heavy black Bi- ble, and flung it with bad aim. The Bible banged on the floor and the mouse found its hole-- somewhere in the sanctuary, it was thought. You can control turnip maggot either before or after sowing, says ©.D.A. insect man Harold Goble. Before you plant, drill 100 pounds of 5 per cent aldrin granular per acre in 10-inch bands -- one inch deep. For an after-planting treat- ment, try this; 1% - 2 gallons of "90" aldrin emulsion (in 100 gal- lons water) per acre. Give them a good soaking -- up to 200 gallons water per acre is all right. Spray when the seedlings are just up. Spray again a month later. Haileybury, Ont. P. O.
