• by councillors and other officials

Garage Bylaw
—Continued from Page 1
have paid taxes in the town for
years. They’re all for the gas
companies that put up new sta
tions so they can get more xnon-
ey on assessment. But this type
of station can’t make money.
How many guys stay in that busi
ness? How many times have the
operators changed in some of the
stations? Why do they quit? Is it
because they’re making too
much money?”
"We don’t .need any more gas
stations, anyhnore than the town
I needs another florist, or under-
I taker, or hardware store. The
amount of gas that will be bought
in Exeter is limited.”
Open 24 Hours
I Ed Hunter-Duvar, of Hunter-
Duvai’ and Sons Ltd., Stated that
if the bylaw didn’t go through,
■ he would compete against sta
tions staying open after hours, by establishing an all-night ser-
i I vice. “I’m going to, have to do
i, something to keep up my end of
; the ’ business,” he said, “I’ll
i start a 24-hour service if this
j .tiling isn’t settled soon.”
I In answer to criticism that his
i garage is out of town, Hunter-
i Duvar pointed out that almost
all of his men pay taxes in the
town and are- affected by the
bylaw.
Graham Arthur, of Graham
Arthur Motors, was not critical
of council for their delay in
giving a decision on the bylaw.
I “I think there’s a lot to be said
for the way - council is handling
I it, They’ve got to protect them-
; selves. Besides, if we get it
l passed, we want it done in such
1 a manner that it will be some
■ good1 to us.”
I "I think council is a little
afraid to move until they’re
sure 'that they have everything
in order.
“AU the garage owners will be
better off with a regulation of this sort. Tf’s too bad we have j . W, -----
to resort to law—we had hoped.! crowd to the annual tattoo m
we wouldn’t have to—but some-' 13
tiling must be done. When it
j comes to the point that a man
I has to work 15 and 16 hours a
> day when it isn’t necessary, then
• it’s just plain crazy, We certain
ly all don’t need to be open
' nights and holidays.
*Ttfeel the public are entitled
I to after ' hours service and I
I think that we . can give them
< that, service with two garages
' open in the summer and one in
winter "The agreement we had
before was working so darn
swell, it's a shame to think it’s
going to be broken up. I think
that if all the boys fell in line,
and opened up according to the
schedule, that over a 12-month
period they would find they're
further ahead.
"We’ve tested it out and that's
what we’ve found.”
Control Over Business
Fred Dobbs, proprietor of Ex
eter Motor Sales: "I’m rather
disappointed by some of the re
marks made in council. They
have said we’re asking them to
run our business because we
can’t run it for ourselves. Sure
ly they understand they do
govern us to a certain degree.
This petition for a bylaw isn’t
asking them for anything more
than they are doing now. “When
they pass a bylaw for a holiday,
for instance, they exercise con
trol over business.
"If they would read’the by
law they would realize that if
75 percent of the 'operators
petition for closing, the council
must pass it.”
,Commenting on council objec
tions to several owners signing
the "petition who were not agree
able to taking turns in the open
night schedule, Mr, Dobbs said
that every operator who has a
licence to sell retail gasoline
has a right to be on the peti
tion.
"We haven’t neglected service
to the public and there isn’t any
thought of this. There isn't any
one of the garagemen, for ex
ample, who isn’t willing to do
emergency major repairs for
service stations open nights.”
"we tried it when we were
open every night and day and I
can’t see that at all. This other
way makes it worthwhile for
everyone.”

some of them bargained for.
Corporal Neil Chamberlain,
head of the detachment, declined
to comment on the controversy
except to say he was carrying
out orders to "clean up” the
resort.
Cpl, Chamberlain said there
has been a marked improvement
in the behaviour of tourists this
year. Not one street brawl has
been reported so far this season
while last year, police had in
vestigated at least 15 fights by
this time.
On Tuesday, 43 cases were
heard in Grand Bend court and
a total of $880 in fines and costs
I were levied by Magistrate J.
! C. Dunlap,
i Five persons, including two
teenagers from Seaforth, were
assessed $100 each for illegal pos
session of liquor.
Cpl. Chamberlain announced
that from now on teenagers
caught with liquor would be
charged with illegal possession,
which carries a minimum penal
ty of $100.
Accident Toll I

were seriously injured. j
Monday, August 1st, was the!
most disastrous of the .weekend.!
Nine lives were lost in traffic1
Right after Sunday midnight, a,
driver overtaking another vchi-: .

bounced out of control to his
death.
Just after sunrise, with patches
of fog in low-lying areas in
Northern- Ontario, a driver at
tempting to pass another vehicle
came upon such a patch of mist
and drove head on into an on
coming car. Two passengers
died.
Twenty minutes later, on a
southern highway, a motorcyclist
lost control- of his machine and
was thrown to die of head in
juries.
At .4:35 in the afternoon, a
driver at excessive speed, failed
to negotiate a curve. At 7:10 p.m.
on a 4-lane highway, a car was
allowed to go onto the boulevard,
went out of control and rolled.
The driver died.
In the early evening, youths
in a stolen car being pursued by
police, Jost control of the ear
which careened into a post,
bounced off to strike and fatally
injure two young women.
Civic Holiday, 1955, came to
an end .... the motor vehicle
fatality score...........23 dead.
Without reference to ensdidg
police and court actions, but
from information included in ac
cident reports, it appears that
not one of these fatalities need
have happened.
Improper driving behaviour
with respect to speed and passing
appears in many of the occur
rences. Failure to observe the
pedestrian rule Uo walk facing
oncoming traffic on the highway
shows in several cases, although
drivers involved were not neces
sarily blatheless. Poor judgment
growing from inexperience, in
difference or neglect seems evi
dent in some cases. Driving af
ter drinking and fatigue made
deadly contributions to the
causes of accidents.
List Season
For Moose
Announcing the open seasons !
for hunting deer and moose in;
Ontario this fall, the Minister of j
, the Hon.
i tention to the fact that this year,
I for the first time in many years,
i moose may be legally hunted in
the province south of the French
River.
The minister pointed out, how
ever, that there are several
things that the . prospective
moose hunter should be aware
of. Moose hunting is allowed
only during the deer season,
and only to residents of Ontario.
The ordinary moose licence is
not valid in southern Ontario.
Instead, in the area south of- the
French River, a special licence
has been provided, costing $26,
which will permit the holder to
take either a moose or a deer,
but not both.
“This special licence cannot be
obtained from the public issuers
who sell deer licences,” the
Minister explained. “Instead, it
is available only at the Depart
ment of Lands and Forests dis
trict offices in the area affected,
namely the Parry Sound, Lind
say, Tweed and Pembroke of
fices.
"The person getting such a
licence cannot have any other
moose ox* deer licence, as this
would constitute an illegal dup
lication.”
In addition, Mr. Mapledoram
advised application in advance
of the sea’son. Conservation of
ficers, he said, might be in
clined to look long and hard
at the hunter who developed an
interest in the new licence in
the middle of the season.
