LANGUAGE PROBLEM One unidentified Montreal driver wasn't happy with the French - language slogan "La Belle Province" on the 1963 Quebec vehicle licences. He painted it out and substituted "The Pretty Province". Police have said such tampering with licences can mean a $200 fine but say no action has been taken in this case yet.

Blame 3 Parties For Bridge Drop BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP)--The City of Buffalo, the owner of @ Great Lakes freighter and the owner of the dock where the vessel was moored were respon- sible for Buffalo harbor's bridge collapse in 1959, Federal Judge Harold Burke ruled Friday. The disaster resulted in more than 40 claims asking a total of $15,000,000 in damages. The night of Jan. 21, 1959, the 420 - foot freighter MacGilvray Shiras broke from her winter- time mooring at the Continental Grain Company dock and drifted down the river during a storm. She collided with another freigther, the Michael K. Tewksbury, which also broke OMA Outlines Stand On Medicare TORONTO (CP)--The Ontario Medical Association has sent out thousands of circulars in support of its stand on public loose. The two ships floated downriver together and the Tewksbury rammed into the bridge at Michigan Ave., tear- ing the big lift structure into a crumpled pile of steel, There were no injuries but flooding resulted as water backed up in the river. Burke ruled that the City of Buffalo was at fault because city officials, after receiving sufficient warning that the ships had broken loose, did not raise the bridge to its full height so the vessels could pass under- neath, He said Kinsman Transit Company of Cleveland, owner of the MacGilvray Shiras, and Continental Grain were at fault because the ship was improp- erly moored for winter condi- tions, of the admiralty law providing a limit' on liability when an ac.

That's one of the hazards of the annual seed ordering chore that keeps parks administrator W. # Warren busy at this time of year.

"Our total seed er for all types of flowers is under five pounds in weir" and, at guess, cost up to a gross of $200," said Mr. Warren.

The bridge is 170 feet long and 20 feet cost $576 at that rate--but it wide, cident happens without mana- gerial fault or knowledge of the owner of the ship, Kinsman would not' have to pay more than $76,688, the value of the MacGilvray Shiras and her dent, medical care insurance.
