This car was 'stopped in a line of traffic at sthe time. t Constablé Lloyd Young, who {witnessed the accident, told the 'court the last vehicle in the line fof traffic had been stopped for sapproximately one minute when "he accused's car ran into it COUNTS SECONDS Defence Counsel John M Greer asked the court's permis- mission to conduct a time test with the officer. Mr. Greer ask- ed the officer to corroborate his statement regarding the time, py counting the seconds in his 'mind while being timed by Mr Greer's watch. When the officer 'called time Mr. Greer told the court it was only a matter of 35 seconds, while the Crown said it was 45. Being at odds in their time pieces, the matter was dropped by both Crown and defence.

MOMENTARILY DISTRACTED Mr. Greer, in summing up the defence, said he was of the opinion the accused was mo- mentarily distracted from her driving by looking at the officer. | It was just a momentary lapse, | he said. In convicting the accused, Magistrate Dnieper pointed out that the section of the Highway Traffic Act, under which she was charged, was provided to prevent just such instances. Speaking before sentence, on behalf of his client, Mr. Greer said she had purchased the car for the express purpose of travelling back and forth to school in Oshawa. He pointed out that if she lost her licence it would be necessary for her to walk some four miles from her home to catch a bus to school. His client had spent very nervous day sitting in court waiting for her case to come up, he.said and concluded by saying he felt it would be very unfortunate if she were saddled with a careless driving convic- lion Magistrate did not want young lady" Dnieper said he to penalize tne before adjourn- ing the case, and added that. in view of her age and scholastic aspiraitons it might be possible to suspend sentence in the case It has been pointed out earlier that the atiractive teenager wanted to become a teacher FLYING TO ROME preparation for the ecumeni- | cal -council of the Roman Catholic Church, The cardinal is accompanied by Msgr.
