Some spent unusual or un lawful years behind the wheel. Others spent much time before a judge. And one just plainly disappeared. A record of their foibles was kept in a UPI file throughout 1982 so this sum up dispatch could be written. The vanishing driver was one of 12 entered in a stock car race at Redditch, Eng land. One driver hit a tree. , Another spun into a field. Three ended up in the wrong town and, as we said, one dis appeared altogether. Motorists in court paid through the nose, feet, and seat of their pants. Awarded 14.500 A London lady was award ed $4,500 In damages for an automobile accident which left her, according to doctors, permanently sniffling and sneezing. In Turkey, when the police caught a drinking driver, they hauled him 20 miles from his car and made him walk back accompanied by a slow-mov1 ing police car. When he got back he was sober. "This Is the first time I've heard of this (traffic) ticket the mother of a 16-year-old boy told a Houston, Tex., judge. "But he is too big, and I can't catch him to give him one (a spanking)," she said The judge ordered the boy to lean over a table.' A police man loaned the mother a belt, Courts were entertaining a number of other offenders. Two litterbugs in Monticello, Ind., chose to sweep off a mile -long stretch of road rather than go to jail.

Woman Holdup An Indianapolis woman was placed on two years probation for holding up a finance com pany with an antique pistol to get money for payments on her old car. In Salford, England, a 16-year-old m o t o rc yclist was fined for speeding. His plea was that his speedometer be came covered with heather on a trip from Scotland. A Menlo Park, Calif., judge jailed on a drunk charge one of two men in a car which overturned on a freeway. A patrolman testified both men denied driving the car and, he said, "from the looks of it that could very well be." George T. Fitzgerald, 35, told a Camden, N.J., judgt he had been driving 17 years without a license, and didn't know how many tickets he had received for that offense. Woodrow W. Carter asked for pardons of two convictions in two months for driving without a license. He said he needed the pardons to qualify for a Maine driver's license. And this was the kind of fine we'd all like to pay; A city street sweeper crew in London, England, took a tea break and returned to find police had towed off their dustcart for illegal parking. The 15.60 fine was paid to the Borough of Kensington, where the cart was parked, by the Borough of Kensington, which employs the sweepers. Chief Fired It really happened: St. Mary's, Ontario, fired Police Chief John Western for hand ing out too many parking tick ets, which, said the town coun cil, was driving shoppers to other communities. Small cars attracted strange birds. A pheasant, which the driver described as of "low character," attacked his "poor defenseless" little, car on a New Hampshire seaside drive. Out of the skies over Mel rose, New Mexico, an eagle with a six - foot wingspan swooped down on a small car, crashed through the wind shield, and clawed the two occupants. There was an unusual re union at a Honolulu intersec tion. Traffic Investigator Wll liam Kaimikaua wrote a cita tion for Mcrvyn C. Thomp son, whose car had struck one driven by Robert Smelter -just as tie had done a year before when Thompson's car collided with Smelter's. Horses, Faster Illinois police closed their investigation into a report that a man was shoved into a car trunk by another man who then drove off when they learned they were two me chanics looking for a trouble some noise. The Chicago Transit Au thority proudly reported the average speed of its bus runs increased to 11.7 miles an hour, whereupon a local news paper pointed out that in 1906 horse cars on State street averaged 12 miles an hour. Finally, the truck drivers passing through Graveley, England, thought they had found the frosting on their 1962 cake. There, along the side of the road through town, was a beautiful (35-25-35) woman in tight slacks and a brief blouse trying to hitch a ride. "I saw truck drivers whis tling at a pretty girl in the village," said Mrs. Anne Mc Donald, "so I put on my beach clothes, walked down the vil lage wiggling my hips and stuck out my thumb as though I were hitch-hiking." Mother Acts As you might have guessed, and, as Mrs. ' McDonald con firmed, "it wasn't long before the first truck stopped." But what she had in mind was not what many red-blood ed trucK arivers seemed to suspect. Mrs. McDonald, moth, er of four, was worrying about drivers ignoring the 30 mile -per-hour speed limit through the small village. When the first, and succeed ing truck drivers stopped, she told them "I do hope you will observe the speed limit through our village. Thank you for stopping." After two weeks of this, Mrs. McDonald quit. Some of the responses from the disappointed truckers, she said, were "not very nice." of a financial payoff to set tle the Philippine claim to North Borneo is almost sure to come up when the British and Philipinos hold talks in London starting today, ac cording to informed sources here. Most likely, the Philippine delegation, headed by Vice President and Foreign Secre tary Emmanuel Pelaez, will be first to broach the subject. The Philippines made a formal claim to sovereignty over the territory last June. British North Borneo, with a population of about 500,000 in an area of 29,000 square miles, is located less than 30 miles from the southernmost Philippine islands. The Philippine claim is based on the contention that the territory was leased to a British company by the Phil ipino sultan of Sulu in 1878. The heirs of the sultan have for years been clamoring for a return of the territory which the British say was sold out right for an annual fee. Would Accept Payoff Nicasio Osmena, a Filipino attorney representing the sul tan's heirs, said that the heirs would be more than willing to accept a financial payoff in lieu of sovereignty over the territory. In what perhaps was a trial balloon, Osmena claims he had heard that the Malayan embassy had offered the Phil ippines $60 million to drop the clam. "We have done absolutely nothing of the sort," said Bert Talalla, press officer of the Malayan embassy. "Absolutely absurd," said a British embassy spokesman. "We haven't heard any thing about it," said a Philip pine foreign office spokes man. While the "price" of $60 million appears too high, it does serve to indicate what is going on in the minds of Os mena and his clients. Just how much influence they will wield with the Pe laez delegation remains to be seen. Osmena indirectly indi cated the influence of the heirs over the Pelaez group was only slight. Might Be Answer But a financial settlement might be an answer to the dis- pute which Malayan Premier Tengku Abdul Rahman feels could disrupt not only the fledgling association of south east Asia, but also his pro posed Malaysia Federation to bring together the three Bor neo territories with Singapore and Malaya. Rahman has termed the Philippine claim to British North Borneo as strictly a matter between the British and the Philippines. But he has shown keen interest. Some feel the Philippines, under the leadership of Pres ident Diosdado Macapagai. has gone out on a limb in making its claim. An outright rejection from Britain would cost Macapagal considerable prestige at home and in the eyes of the average Filipino -who is acutely aware of the claim-it would seem a kick in the face. On the other hand, the Brit ish seem quite unlikely to hand over the territory to the Philippines under any condi tions. Neither the Philippines nor Britain appear particularly interested in staging elections in Borneo to settle the mat ter. The Philippines, in par ticular, knows it would un doubtedly lose by an over whelming margin. Effort Too Much For its part, B r 1 tai n wouldn't be too keen on elec tions because of the effort in volved. General elections have never been held in North Borneo. If elections were held they might tend to show that the people of Borneo weren't par ticularly interested in joining either the Philippines or Mal aysia. Britain, which will be com pletely out of southeast Asia with the coming of Malaysia, now scheduled for Aug. 31, wants to leave a neat pack age behind. The Malaysia fed eration under Rahman, a strong anti-communist, would fit the bill. Malaysia is much pre ferred by the British as com pared with an independent federation of the three Bor neo territories proposed by Brunei Revolutionary A. M. Azarhari and other political leaders in Sarawak and Brit ish North Borneo. If the Borneo territories do OH ZlbX7 ... o o o 0 Barn 'Vt 'fort )--. O 'sfe O 'fc ....

Unique Club Has unas Song Supplants Drink By SANDRA LEGATZ United Press International Detroit (UPD - Hollywood's famed Romanoff's closed re- - cently because of decreasing patronage zrom the w nine and dining crowd. Predictions followed that many such sup per clubs would meet with the same fate. But about the same time, a unique supper club ouened here to a standing room only crowd which has kept the place filled almost every night since then. It is a Christian suDDer club where hymns and handclap ping have been substituted tor drinking and dancing and cig arettes are not sold. Sometimes I wish we weren't doing so well," said Ed Darling, manager of the Crossroads Supper club. We haven't been setting much sleep lately." Crossroads is the result of 10 years of plannins by area Christian leaders. The club. which formerly housed a con ventional restaurant, is oDcr- ated by Trinity Association, a non-profit organization cre ated by 18 local Protestant businessmen. Crossroads Filled Since Dec. 15 when Ethel Waters was on hand to enter tain the club's "First Nlght- ers, Crossroads has been filled to its 600-person capac ity through Sunday nights, with heavy crowds on the oth er nights. Darling, a former member of the Four Londons dance team and a prominent lay fig ure in Christian work in De trolt, said that "our main pur pose Is to provide a dining place where liquor is not served. We don't mean to crit icize those who do indulge, but rather, offer a place of entertainment for those whose beliefs prohibit drinking.." Proceeds from the restau rant will go to various mis sions, youth organizations, or phanages and schools as of each Dec. 1. Darling said to meet the de mands of increasing patron age, a banquet room with a ISO-person capacity will be opened soon. Crossroads pres ently employs 50 persons. Fif teen additional waitresses will be added In the near future. Idea Catches On "The Idea of a Christian supper club is beginning to catch on from coast to coast," he said. "We have had many inquiries from groups In var ious cities where clubs may be opened. Toronto may be open- . Ing up such a place soon." Such supper clubs ("night club" has an objectionable connotation to Darling) also provide showcase for Chris tian talent. "We feature entertainment five of the six nights a week that we are open and all of it must have a 'Christ-centered theme," Darling said. "We invite such performers as Ethel Waters, George Bev erly Shea and Stuart Hamb len. We hope to get such art ists as Jerome Hines to pre sent operatic numbers," he said. "It Is also not unusual to hear the diners singing out a rousing chorus of 'Let Me Call You Sweetheart'." Invites Graham Darling, 48, who was Evan gelist Billy Graham's execu tive secretary from 10S8 to 1961, said Graham will also be Invited to speak to supper club audiences. "Crossroads has f d u n d great acceptance with fam ilies Including young people who come here mainly on the weekends," he said. "We offer anything from a club dinner to steak with all the trimmings." Crossroads Is also home of radio station WBFG-FM which broadcasts sacred music 24 hours a day. Recently initi ated at the club was the breakfast clubtyme program which Is broadcast every week day morning at 9:30. The program features Inter views with various guests. As in any business, you Hive the people what thev want. ' And In this case It Is good, clean fun in a warm family atmosphere where the drlnka are soda and twisters give way to toe-tappers.
