HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1969-09-18, Page 3Besides Moving halfway across the county (DashWood to Ooderich) in pursuit of a better way of life, the Kellers were guests at several weddings this summer. Weddings are wonderful things, necessary to the orderly Propagation of the earth. I only wonder why society has allowed the wedding ceremony to get so absolutely out 'of hand. Everybody gets in a tizzy when a wedding comes up in the family, The bride and her mother run in circles for weeks — sometimes months — in advance of the wedding date. That's understandable, suppose. But why should the mother of the ringbearer wear herself to an utter shambles over the silly affair. I was in that boat this summer. Our three-year-old son was invited to be in the wedding party and right away, I started to shake, Of course I wanted to accept the challenge for him. After all he was too small 'to give a sensible answer himself. That was just it. I worried that this bundle of energy would put the whole family to shame by ruining the beautiful wedding planned by the bride. I told the bride I was concerned that my turbulent tot would tear up the prayer books once he was out of my reach. I warned her he couldn't be silent for an hour. I explained how it takes both me and his father to curb his exhuberance during a normal church service. The bride told me not to worry. He would be "cute," she said. So we entered into the agreement with our eyes wide open. I have to admit he did look adorable in his pint-sized tuxedo on the day of the great event. The pillow on which my son was to carry the imitation (thank goodness) rings was small and useless. Our boy had been prepared for the pillow we thought but somehow he forgot our careful training sessions when presented with the actual cushion, Just like a man, our youngest male child treated the pillow as Flynn calves take honours Earl Flynn, RR 4, Clinton, showed the grand champion steer at the Blyth Feeder Calf Show Monday. Mr. Flynn won the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce silver tray in the shy sponsored by the Blyth Agricultural Society. Reserve champion was Robert Snell of Londesboro, who also exhibited the best trained calf. He won the Hugh Flynn trophy. Jim Flynn, 5, son of Reeve Hugh Flynn of Hullett Township, won the prize for showing the best trained calf by the youngest exhibitor and also won the T. Eaton silver tray for the calf with the highest gain. Grand champion showman was Harvey Black, Belgrave. He_ was presented with the Howson and Howson trophy. Mr. Black also won the senior showmanship award. Karen Tyndall of Clinton was the top intermediate showman. Frank Flynn, also Clinton, was the junior champion. The Flynn exhibitors are cousins. Keith Coates, Centralia, judged the 92 entries, Schedule boat safety classes The Goderich Power Squadron, which aims to serve the needs of boatmen throughout the County of Huron, will hold registration for 10 safe boating courses on October 14 C4 V.

He appeared bored with the whole thing and, carried the stuffed satin as he would Any other old thing for which he had no immediate use — first by one corner, then by the other, under his left arm, under his right, tight to his chin, down by his knees, even on top of his head. Before entering the church he examined the cushion just long enough to remove the rings and hand them nonchalantly to the bride. Now he was ready to go. Into the church came my little cherub. His head turned in all directions as though it was on a swivel. Now he was tramping on the heels of the bridesmaid who wanted so .desperately for everything to go right for her. Once at the altar he turned toward the congregation to examine the faces. He spotted grandma and gave her a big wave. He noticed his sister way up in the balcony and voiced his A sliding scale of fines for speeding convictions, with the penalty rising sharply in relation to the speed, went into effect in Ontario on September 1. Under the new sliding scale, the fine will rise with the speed: $2 for each mile per hour over the speed limit up to 9 mph; $3 per mile between 10 and 19 mph over the limit; $4 per mile between 20 and 29 mph over the limit; and $5 per mile for 30 mph over the limit. A driver now will be fined $10 for driving 35 mph in a 30 mph zone. But that fine will rise to $30 if he is convicted of driving 40 mph in the same zone and to $150 if he is driving 60 mph. A new sliding scale of fines has also been set for convictions resulting from the overloading, of commercial vehicles. Changes in fines make up the bulk of more than 60 amendments to the Ontario Highway Traffic Act which became effective September 1. "We have overhauled the entire system of deterrents by discarding the principle of varying fines for first, second and third or subsequent offences," Hon. Irwin Haskett, Ontario's Minister of Transport said. "New minimum and maximum fines have been established for each traffic offence. "The changes are aimed at irresponsible drivers who invite collisions by their shocking disrespect for the traffic laws." As an example of the stiffer fines, Mr. Haskett mentioned the new minimum fine for a careless driving conviction. For an offence occurring previous to September 1, the minimum was $10. For an offence occurring after September 1, the minimum is $100. The maximum fine of $500 remains. Other amendments which became effective on September 1 include: The rule of the road concerning stopping for stopped school buses has been clarified by changing "divided highway" to "median strip." Traffic meeting a school bus which is stopped with red signal lights flashing, is not required to stop A "MUSTANG" THEATRE PHONE 524.99B1 OPENS AT 8:00 P.M,' SUNSET DRIVE-IN THEATRE HWY. 8 GODERICH AT CONCESSION RD. 4 FRI., SAT:, SUN.

He found my anxious eyes and smiled. He leaned on the groom, He rested between the legs of the best man. He dropped that cushion a dozen times and retrieved it each time by jumping to the floor with a resounding thump, Then he got hot, so hot he began to strip. That's when his father saved the day and my sanity by escorting him to our seat until the service had ended. During the final postlude he joined hands with the demure little flowergirl and walked grandly out of the church. And everybody remarked over the fine behaviour of the two little people who attended the bridal couple. Apparently no one had thought anything of my son's antics in church. As one lady told me, "He done good for his age." on a highway with a median strip. A median strip is defined as a strip of pavement of more than 10 feet in width, or a physical barrier or an unpaved strip of ground. Two offences have been added for which the police may arrest without warrant: failure to remain at the scene of an accident, and failure to provide correct name and address when a driver's licence cannot be produced. Power of arrest has been eliminated for three other offences: improper position of licence plates on vehicles, failure to notify the Department of Transport of a change in vehicle ownership or a change of address within six days. Optometrists are required to report ,patients with vision conditions that could make, driving dangerous. Stopping for emergency vehicles: formerly, stopping as closely as possible to the right hand side of the road was only required when an ambulance, fire or police vehicle was sounding a bell or siren. This has now been extended to also including an ambulance, fire or police vehicle that is flashing a red light on the roof. The new laws which took effect on September 1 are among nearly 100 amendments to the Highway Traffic Act passed by the Ontario Legislature earlier this year. The amendments are being put into effect in three stages ... some became effective on June 9, 1969, and one requiring accidents to be reported to police where there is personal injury involved or property damage exceeds $200 instead of the present $100, becomes effective on January 1, 1970, Plastic bags unsafe The federal health department cautions you to be sure to keep plastic bags, such as those used on dry cleaning, away from babies and children. The best plan is to throw them away immediately, IL is not safe to use thin plastic to cover a mattress. It clings to the baby's nose and mouth and can cause smothering.

Health and Welfare, John Munro, this week gave further information relating to the studies made by his department on 'color TV hazards, Mr, Munro earlier reported that about 10 per cent of color TV sets tested in the recent survey by the Radiation Protection Division were found to emit radiation somewhat in excess of the accepted manufacturing standard. Examples of such sets had been found among all popular makes, the largest number being among the' models purchased before 1967. The causes are complex and are attributed partly to component design and partly to servicing. The minister repeated that, in the opinion of his department, these radiation.emitting sets are not a significant health hazard if given the usual degree of respect accorded many other household appliances. The radiation was observed only at the back, bottom or sides of the sets, not in the normal viewing position and this, coupled with the very large safety margin inherent in the accepted standard, made the health hazard extremely small. However, to give more definite assurance• of hazard-free viewing, the Department is suggesting the following safety rules for color TV viewers: 1. Do not attempt your own servicing; consult an authorized repairman. 2, On his next servicing call, ask the repairman to check the voltage regulating circuits and radiation shielding as specified by the manufacturer. 3. Cultivate good viewing habits; do not regularly sit closer than 4-6 feet from the set and do not allow children to lie with legs extended beneath the set while viewing. NOW FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT. The CLOUD "N IN E" ROOM HOTEL CLINTON Featuring Sing Along With JEAN at the Organ Friday & Saturday riN 1 4, Place all color TV sets against a wall. Do not locate chairs immediately adjacent to the side or back. These simple rules will assure safety even in cases where radiation emission is somewhat in excess of the aceepted manufacturing standard. 3 sot, 19 410 The Country Noy% Appearing et Queens Hotel SEAFORTH ,Ball Point PenS Reg, 49c for 7c Rubber gloves Req. 99c for 49c Hot Water Bottles 21/2 qt.

Bolton RR 3, Exeter, President RR 1, Seaforth, Secretary To the editor: Smashed windshields and other damage to cars has been reported recently from areas heavily used by gravel trucks. In spite of police surveillance many trucks are loaded and/or driven in such a way that gravel flies off, threatening damage to other vehicles, and serious injury to cyclists and pedestrians. Even if a truck is loaded carefully, and apparently legally, there can be no guarantee against certain materials flying loose, unless the load is totally enclosed. A sudden bump can send pebbles flying high from the floor or sides of a dump truck. A gust of wind can pick a sheet of metal from a truck load of scrap, and send it knifing through the air. A member of Parliament tells us he proposes to ask the Ontario Department of T'ran'sport • to bring in new regulations requiring loads of loose material such as gravel and sand to be covered and secured by tarps. He has invited the Ontario Safety League to support this move. Mandatory covers would put the truck operators to some expense and trouble. But it seems certain that it would reduce the danger and expense to other road users; and it would help to free police effort for other areas of traffic enforcement. We would very much appreciate hearing from Fred H. Ellis, General Manager, Ontario Safety League; Toronto, Sept. 9.z Varna notes Mr, and Mrs. Doug McBeath of Walkerton spent the weekend with relatives here.
