In New Orleans, Ace Russell took matters into his own hands, when police failed to remove a parked car in front of his store. He hoisted the vehicle 20 feet into the air and hung it from a tree. Police, who arrived later to tow it away, discovered it was a stolen car. In Corner Brook, Newfoundland, two motorists crawled along in low gear for more than a half-hour on the Stephenville Highway, recently, when a young moose strolling leisurely ahead of their car. The moose clung stubbornly to his half of the road-right in the middle. He was finally removed by police. In Los Angeles, Eldon C. Freeman, a salesman, was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving recently. When police asked him to walk a straight line in order to determine whether he was intoxicated, Mr. Freeman removed his coat and walked the line-on his hands. The officers were convinced and let him go. In Colusa, Calif., Mrs, Ada J. Birks, 74, was in court for a minor traffic violation. Asked for her driver's license she said she "just hadn't gotten around to renewing it." "When did it expire?" asked the judge. "Oh," she exclaimed, "that was 26 years ago." In Oil City, Pa., Mrs. Alden Gannett, a visitor from Dallas, Texas, found an overtime parking ticket on her car and went promptly to the police station to pay the 10-cent fine. Instead of receiving a lecture, Mrs. Gannett hit the jackpot. First of all, Mayor William Morch presented her with a quart of oil, a key ring case and an ash tray. Next, he loaded her down with a rose corsage, a bottle of perfume, a metal shoe rack, an electric hand lantern, a five-pound box of candy, three pairs of nylon hose, a set of crystal glassware, an aluminum serving tray and a book. The smiling Mayor explained that the oil, key case and ash tray are given to all out-of-state motorists who voluntarily pay traffic fines. He said, however, that the city went all-out for Mrs. Gannett because she was the 1,000th motorist to do so.
