Fined For Failing To Keep To Right
Norman G. Cournoyer of 1115 Motler avenue was found guilty in People's Court this morning of failing to keep to the right of the highway. He paid a $10 fine and costs imposed by Magistrate Reese Shoemaker after State Trooper Kenneth Ticknell testified he was forced to drive off the shoulder of Route 240 south of Frederick Junction on June 24 as Cournoyer drove left of center. Cournoyer, represented by Attorney William M. Storm, pleaded guilty. The magistrate stated the case reflects common motor vehicle charges where officer and operator testimony diverge, adding he trusted the trooper’s trained observations.

The measure, passed by both houses in special sessions, limits rent controls, removes credit controls on consumer goods and housing loans, and reshapes the Wage Stabilization Board. Processed fruits and vegetables would be exempt from price controls, raising potential grocery costs. The bill also suggests invoking the Taft Hartley Act in steel strikes, a move seen as nonbinding.
