I'd never been, Recently, I received a parking ticket; a $5 one for leaving my old Valiant outside the Lougheed Drive-In Swap- meet, right under one of those ‘Emergency Parking Only’ signs that line all highways. I'd been one of the hundreds who'd returned from the fair-like atmosphere that day to see the nasty blue slip under my wind: shield. I WON'T PAY THEM, I thought. And when, two months after the ‘final warning’, a police sergeant arrived at my door with a summons (in dupli- eate) to appear for trial, I asked him, “What if I don’t pay?” “Don't pay?” he countered, “It's only $5.00." “Yes, But if I don't pay?” “They'll send you to jail. For a day probably. But it’s not worth the trouble.” I FELT IT WAS CER- tainly worth the trouble... un- til my friends started telling me what might happen: “They'll strip you. And de-lice you with powder.” “And they'll take your belt away so you won't hang your- self.” “Hang myself?!" For a lousy parking ticket?!"

Discharg- ing a gun in the city limits. Shoplifting. Most cases put over for later trial. “Daniel Wood?" 1 came forward, armed witha few notes to argue my case. THE JUDGE, AN AFFA- ble man with a greying beard, heard me plead guilty, heard me refuse to pay the fine, and asked simply, “Why not?". lL explained that I felt that the police need to interpret the law according to the changing needs of the public and that when there's a fair or festival, the police sometimes do dis- regard the parking laws. Above Wreck Beach in high summer. Or around the PNE during the Jehovah's Witness convention. The judge listened with amuse- ment, then asked me again, “Are you really prepared to go to jail for that?" “It's only $5." “The laws, they need to reflect the public's activities.” “Are you going to pay?” “No.” “YOU KNOW ...”" SAID the judge with a slow, mis- chievious smile, “you know I could send you to jail for up to 60 days?” “Wow!" 1 i $5 or 60 Days? —Parking Ticket Blues— “Oh, Vm tha middle me:~ people hadn't paid, we'd have quite a party in jail.” EVERYONE, INCLUD- the judge, was having a good time, chuckling at the imagined flood of parking ticket prison- ers, hundreds of us singing and banging on the bars, humming the ol’ I-Ain't-Gonna-Pay-My- Parking-Ticket blues. “But all those people paid,” the judge before me finally said. “And you, Daniel, must pay. The law must be applied equally.” “OH! I'M NOT CHAL- lenging the equal application of the law. I’m challenging police officiousness,” “Alright. I sentence you to one day in jail. I hope you're satisfied.” THE BAILIFF CAME and motioned me to follow him out of the Courtroom and down a twisting flight of stairs. The dim mohogany sobriety of the Courtroom was suddenly re- placed by walls the color of chartreuse, an electric yellow- green. It seemed like 1969 again. The color, however, didn't lessen the initial whelm of fear as I considered how promptly the hands of justice had en- snared me. Jeez! This is fast service. They don't even give you enough time to get your toothbrush. AT THE BOTTOM OF stairs the bailiff unlocked the door with a fabulous brass key, a good five inches long; the kind one would imagine should open Ali Baba’s storehouse, “Step over there," the bailiff grunted. “Name? Ad- dress?" He glanced at the clock; it's second hand had just com- pleted the sweep to 10:15, “SIGN HERE” HE SAID pushing the pen across to me, 1 signed where it said: ‘Prisoner Admittance.’ “And here." I signed again ‘where it said: ‘Prisoner Release.’ “Alright,” said the bailiff as he unlocked another door, “the second door on your right, go up the stairs, and you'll be back in the hall.” “WHAT?" I ASKED IN- credulously. “Second door on your right and up the stairs." “But... the jail?" He had turned away and was hanging up that magnifi- cent brass key. Reluctantly, still wondering if he was trick: ing me... that perhaps I was supposed to put myself behind bars, I pushed open the door. It led outside.

At the most: 10 seconds, Dollar Drops 49 Cents During Trudeau Era By DON McGILLIVRAY (The author writes for the Southam News Service.) THE CANADIAN DOL- lar is worth just 51 cents today in terms of what money bought when Pierre Trudeau became prime minister 10 years ago. No other prime minister in Canada’s history has presided over such a rapid decline in the value of the currency. COMPARED TO THE 49- cent loss in the 10 Trudeau years, there was a loss of only 20 cents in the nine years under Louis St. Laurent; of 15 cents in the five years under Lester Pearson; and of a mere eight cents in the six years of the Di trying to hide my gulp. “I'd be a hero. Sixty days for a parking ticket.” The other defendants sitting behind me laughed. “Well?” said the judge peering down at me. “Well, I guess it depends on how long you're going to give me.” More laughter from the crowd. “I'm glad to hear you're not too idealistic,” teased the judge. * “The courtroom even louder. “YOU KNOW," CON. tinued the judge, obviously en- joying this interlude. “My wife got a ticket on the same day there, She collects bottles. And she—I assume—paid.” “If she hadn't paid, if all the other people hadn’t paid— ‘and there must have been hundreds of tickets issued that day—hundreds! If all those rippled To see what has happened to our money as a continuing process over the past 30 years, consider what happened to the value of the dollar Mackenzie King handed over to Louis St. Laurent in 1948, BY THE TIME ST. Laurent turned the dollar over to Diefenbaker, it was worth 80 Mackenzie King cents. Says Davis Got A Raw Deal What happened to Jack Davis “should not be allowed to happen to the meanest criminal in the province.” Opposition MLA Alex Macdonald's com- ment on the bizarre events that overcame B.C.'s minister of energy, transport and com- munications probably reflects a good part of public sentiment today. —Victoria Times B45 Hornby St., Vi TROUBLED BY HIGH PRICES ?
