Magistrate J. C. Dunlap, QC, levied the punishment against Bossenberry, following charges laid. by Grand Bend OPP offi- cers and a seven -man OPP li- quor squad from Toronto on Saturday, August 5. Betty Sherman, owner of the LaFiesta Motel was fined. $100 and costs for acting as an in- termediary for the sale or pur- chase of liquor. Members of.. the liquor squad testified that they had been sent to Bossenberry's by Mrs. Sherman andthey were sold beer out of Bossenberry's car. The car was a 1953 Plymouth. The pair were defended by Ray Donahue, Sarnia, and pleaded not guilty to the char- ges. In handing down his decision, the magistrate said, "boot -leg• ging has to be stopped in Grand Bend." Earlier in the season. two other men had been fined $300 for selling liquor illegally and one of them, Edmund Currie, had his 1960 automobile confis- cated as well. These charges were also laid by the liquor squad, Difficulty of arranging com- mittee meetings when council- lors are on holidays led to some verbal sniping in council Mon- day night. Councillor: ' Ross Taylor fired the opening shot wheelie com- plained he hadn't been able to get the drains committee to- gether all summer. "People who are not going to say intown should not serve on council," he stated. "You couldn't get a meeting this summer it you tried." Then Taylor criticized -the mayor for not consulting him, as drains committee chairman, before authorizing installation of a drain in the Burke sub- division. "I'mbeginning to wonder if we shouldn't leave the whole council business to the mayor, reeve and deputy -reeve." Mayor Pooley retorted the drain problem came up while Taylor himself was on holidays. The engineer had been consult- ed to secure the proper. ' solu- tion and the job had not been an' extensive one. "It's just like the fixing of the town hall that Reeve Mc- Kenzie complained about last council meeting. It could have waited for a few days. too." Mayor Pooley bristled: "Well, I'd like to say right now that when any councillor goes away on holidays he should Id the clerk know how long he'll be be away or where he can be contacted. I triedto get five councillors in town one day and couldn't find any of them." Entitled to opinion Councillor Farrow tried to call a truce: "Councillor Tay- lor is entitled to his opinion, Let's not get excited about it. Area Kin capture national awards Kinsmen Governor. Bill !stickle, Hensall, and his dist- rict one executive climaxed a successful year over the week- end by winning a record num- ber of awards at the national convention of the Canadian service club in Toronto.

Delbridge said he'd been at his farm in Usborne several i days and had one business trip out of town. "You can't expect a councillor to be on call 365 days a year, 24 hours a day,"! he maintained. Councillor Taylor said it was' time the drains on Huron St. ' were put in. They'd been ap-i proved last year but nothing has beendone about it, There were some other drains that! should be looked at, too, he said..
