The number of cases appear in before. -the Provo city court, approximately - 90. percent of which are traffic violations, decreased- in April under the stif fened traffic bail -schedule, but rose , sharply in May to set a record for 1946 to date. ' These statistics "were released today in a report prepared by Mrs. Elsie Campbell, deputy city court clerk, which . showed 141 cases before the court in January, 159 iri" February. 151 in March, 137 in April and 172 in May. The: revenue from traffic fines and forfeitures alone, however, has shown no decrease in any month of 1946 but reveals a steady climb from January until June 1. Traffic revenue in May totaled $1,662.50: nearly $600 above the $1,098.50. for April. March traffic fines 'and forfeit ures totaled $726.50, as against $680.50 for February and $458 for January. Hopes that a traffic bail sched ule which was doubled and trebled in many instances would deter motorists from violations apparently failed to materialize as far as May drivers are con ceroed. The May increase can be attributed to some extent. however, to increased summer driving. Comparative figures for 1946 and last year show each month until now in 1946 substantially higher in the number of cases than last year. Increased post-war driving is undoubtedly a major factor in this item. Criminal fines in the city court for 1946 reached their peak back in February, with $844 taken in in from this source. Next came January with $801, then May -Uwith $629. and April with $584 ? . . AW A Lmarcn was me mosi peaceiui J month from the standpoint of income from criminal . appear ances, with only $360. Income from Provo's parking meters reached a 1946. high in May, with $347 collected from this source. The recent installa tion of 250 more meters is expect ed to substantially boost this fig ure from now on. Parking meter income started out at $333 in Jan uary, dropped to $193 in . Feb ruaiy and $174 in March. April meter collections were $186.50.

S Coleman, son of Mr. and -Mrs. Jacob Coleman, has returned to Provo, to resume his college edu cation, which was interrupted by World War II. In April, 1841, Mr Coleman enlisted as a buck pri vate, and worked his way up through all the ranks to his pre sent position. After graduating with highest honors, at the officers training school at Fort Washington, Mr, Coleman served as instructor and commentator at the University of Mississippi, then aide-de-camp to General John Lewis in Washington,: Washing-ton,: D. C; and when the latter was called to become chief of the supreme headquarters allied expeditionary ex-peditionary forces mission to France, Mr. Coleman accompanied him and soon became the senior administrative officer of the western west-ern base section. He was later assigned with two or three other officers to investigate investi-gate the irregularities at the army prison camp at Lichfield, England, and compiled the report which formed the basis for the subsequent sub-sequent prosecutions. At Frankfurt, Germany, Sir Arthur Tedder, the air marshal of England, awarded him the badge of the "most excellent order of the British Empire," and President Presi-dent Gouin of the provisional government of the French republic, re-public, awarded him "the medaille de la reconnaisance Francaise" for his "rendering eminent services serv-ices in the solution of numerous and delicate problems caused by the presence of American armies in France, thus contributing to the success of the allied war effort."
