Story from Steve Petz.<\/p>\n

In 1962, James Zitaruk was starting out and didn\u2019t yet qualify for a car loan. He wanted a new Ford Fairlane. David went to Winnipeg, purchased, licensed, and insured James\u2019 car in David\u2019s name.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I had just returned from Hamilton.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We had a party at the Zitaruk house in Shellmouth. About 1:30 a.m., I was driving east of Shellmouth, near the Wagner home, where Marjorie and Arnie were living.I was driving David\u2019s 1958 Chevrolet Implala. I don\u2019t remember how it happened, but James and I had a head on collision. James had 3 or 4 people in his car, and I had one. We thought it would be best if there were fewer people there when we dealt with the RCMP.\u00a0 James, Larry Langford and I\u00a0 remained.\u00a0 Larry took all the beer out of James\u2019 car and hid it 11 swaths over in a grain field.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We went to Marjorie and Arnie\u2019s to call the police.\u00a0 It was probably two hours before we could get a hold of the police. It was daybreak before they got there to investigate the accident. They were really confused. Both cars were licensed and insured in David\u2019s name. One in Manitoba and the other in Saskatchewan. James had a Manitoba drivers license. I had an Ontario driver\u2019s license, driving a car licensed in Saskatchewan, and the accident happened in Manitoba.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Fortunately we had all the appropriate paperwork to prove a story that they probably would not believe.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We found out later that the reason it took so long to connect with the RCMP. The telephone operator was out necking with the RCMP officer.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
