(Staff) Seeding is completed to a large degree Swift Current and surrounding districts. Some crops are now up several inches, but there is a general need of ram. While good rams havs been reported east and north of Swift Current, a three-day soaker would work wonders with the 1950 crop, and give it the start that means so much early in the season. While there was more snw than usual on the level this past winter the soil was so dry that moisture consumption has been rapid. MARBLE KING: Russell Seymour, of St.

With ROBERT TYRE AfONDAY I VIOLATED bylaw No. 2209 of the City of Regina and Tuesday I went down to that red brick building at the corner of Eleventh and Halifax and paid my $2 fine for defrauding the city of half an hours parking time.

The fellow who took my money was quite nice about it. He gave me a receipt to show that I had paid my debt to society and tossed in a wholly unexpected thank you. This courtesy floored me. Who had ever expected to hear hard-boiled muscle-men of the police department say thank you to anybody for anything. The mildest treatment I had expected was to be set upon by a dozen snarling coppers, beaten to a pulp with a length of rubber hose, forced to confess that I made my living stealing cars, and then be hurled into solitary confinement.

Outside the station I accosted a policeman and put the question to him, how come us miserable lawbreakers are getting such nice polite treatment from the police now? He hung his head and blushed. The fact is were not really policemen anymore, he admitted finally. Weve come down to the level of tax collectors and the instructions are to be courteous to the customers You mean that thank you I got in there wasnt just a slip of the tongue? Oh, no, he said. We say that all the time. After all collecting parking fines is big business now with the police department.

So the next time you timid bank housebreakers see a man in a policemans uniform prowling the streets with a batch of pink tickets in his hand, don't take fright. Hell just be the citys curb-side tax collector doing his eight-hour stint tagging over parked cars. In fact business is so brisk in this department that there is talk of sending the cops out In pairs one to do the tagging and the other to collect the fines on the spot. This arrangement would relieve the congestion at the police station where the daily flow of parking zone criminals has suggested the need for traffic signal lights in the building. A source close to the police department (a former citizen who was fined eight times for over parking and then sentenced to life imprisonment as an habitual criminal) tells me that the only cells maintained at the police station now are for people who express dangerous opinions on the subject of Reginas parking facilities.

Some of the more subversive elements have come right out and said that if city council displayed the same zeal in seeking a solution to the parking problem as its police force does in tagging cars we might get some place. People who say things like that must very naturally $xpect to be locked up. Nobody knows what happened to the chap who suggested that the city hall be torn down and its site used for car parking. His plan was to shift the city hall staffs to a barge in Wascana lake and find a new location for council chambers out near the incinerator. Nobody knows what happened to this fellow.

He may have been deported. the city should be able to finance a new water supply without aid rn7vV( 'FRUIT SALT ffauik cMirteiffih BAND TO PLAY-MOOSOMIN, (Specisl) The 80-piece International Girls' band will play in Moosomin July 28 under the auspicies of the Canadian Legion, A Moosomin girl, Donna Willis. 13, is a member of the band.

Bylaw No.

2209 haj been art fully designed to malic just about every parking position you can think of subject to a fine. Violations include parking in truck stands, over parking, improper parking at curb (no doubt this applies to cars which use obscene language or indecently expose their chassis), parking In taxi stands, parking between 3 a.m and 5 a.m., parking in prohibited area. The motorist cant win. He may switch his car around from one spot to another to circumvent the hour limit and wind up by stash' ing it away in a 30-minute zone hich he still thinks is 60 minutes worth pf parking. You slide into this sort of trap very easily.

Then of course along comes offi cer No. 51 with his pink slip showing and section 80 of bylaw No. 2209 has grabbed another $2 victim. Parking conditions are so grim in downtown Regina that I know of one motorist who hires a man to travel on foot and scout for a parking spot. When the scout finds eight feet of bare asphalt he sets up a machine-gun emplacement to protect the area until his employer arrives with the car.

In view of the desperate parking situation in Regina I am forming a militant organization to be called the Greater Regina Anti-Parking Fine association. Once organized, members of the GJt.A.P.F.A. will drive onto the city hall grounds in a body each Thursday night when council sits and blow their car horns continuously for one hour. This will be kept up until council either calls off the pink ticket men or provides more parking Citizens who have violated bylaw No. 22C9 end paid a fine eligible to join the G.R.A.P.F.A.
