DR1IVEBS WHO TAKE A DRINK (Toronto Star Weekly) In Toronto police court this week a motorist who had been drinking was sentenced to seven days, plus a fim of $25 and cost-s or fourteen days, foi hitting a car and not stopping. An- other motorist who "had beerr. drink- ing but was not drunk," drove in zig- lag fashion and hit a bridge. He was fin«d |60 and costs or thirty days and lost his driving permit foi six months. Another "who had beeri drinking but could stand up," drove through two red lights at forty miles an hour and was also fined ^0 and costs or thirty days besides losing his permit for four months. A fourth man who had been drinking and drove erratically paid a similar fine and cannot drive for three months. Every day the lesson is being taught that even a little liquor may affect a man's drivinpr, and that when it does, and an accident happens, the punishment is likely to h* severe. So it should 1)0. If a man is to take .hargo of a car, he should leave liquor alone. Sr. 4â€" Betty Stewart, Gladys Pat- terson, Carlotta Plester.
