parking should remain, while six

recommended no parking re-
strictions at all.
The issue over closing on Re-
membrance Day failed to come
up with a definite conclusion, due
to the fact five different opinions
were given.
Seventeen 'places of business
suggested closing all day, while
there were nine in favour of clos-
ing all morning and another
eleven wanted the stores closed
from 10:00 until 1:00, Two bal-
lots were marked in favour of
remaining open for the entire
day.
The executive decided to con-
duct another ballot on this ques-
tion at a later date and merch-
ants will probably be asked to
vote on only two alternatives:
closing all day or remaining
open for all but a three or four-
hour period in the morning.
One member of the executive
suggested the closing down for
only a portion of the day may

IGNORED REQUEST
Failure to comply with a re-
quest of a police officer resulted
in a fine of $10 for Larry Brint-
nell, Exeter.
While driving in Exeter on
June 29, Brintnell was requested
by OPP Constable Dale Lamont
to bring his car in for an exam-
ination.
The car Brintnell was driving
was owned by Larry Dobson,
whose license was under sus-
pension. Brintnell said he thought
the owner should have been the
one to take the car in and there-
fore ignored the request.
Lavern Gould, Exeter, paid
a fine of $20 and costs of $2.50
for driving with a defective muff-
ler in Exeter on July 7.
Constable Warren reported the
muffler was causing excessive
smoke and noise.
Gould told the court he has
since had the muffler repaired.
Len Harvey, Exeter, pleaded
guilty to a charge of littering
and paid a fine of $5.
Evidence given by Constable
Fines climbed to almost $600
in Exeter court, Tuesday, as
Magistrate Glenn Hays, Q.C.,
served ample notice he would
not deal lightly with traffic of-
fenders.
An Exeter youth paid $70 of
that amount on charges of care-
less driving and consuming liquor
while under the age of 21. The
charges were laid against Barry
L. Greenacre, 18, just two hours
apart on June 18. He also lost
his driver's license for two
months.
Exeter Constable Jim Warren
testified Greenacre was travell-
ing about 90 miles an hour through
a 60 zone. He was followed from
Exeter to Crediton, where he
went north and evaded police.
Some traffic was affected by
the youth's speedy escapade. Po-
lice reported he had been drink-
ing the same evening.
"This type of driving calls for
a suspension of a driver's li-
cense," Magistrate Hays ex-
plained. He noted the youth work-
ed in Dashwood and could live
there and not need his car.
Additional charges of danger-
ous driving and of theft of under
$50 were withdrawn.
Another area youth, Albert
Weiberg, 16, Zurich, paid a total
of $95 in fines and $5 in costs
on charges of careless driving
and ' making an improper left
hand turn.
Hensall Constable Ernest
Davis told the court that Weiberg
was driving in Hensall on June
19. He went through a stop sign
at a high rate of speed and was
squealing his tires while turning
corners.
The officer stated the youth
was driving wildly and was creat-
ing a menace to people on the
street, including children.
The second charge was laid
on June 25 when Weiberg made
a left turn without giving another
driver a chance to do anything
but collide With him.
The accused stated he did not
see the car corning when he made
the turn.
A careless driving charge
against Frederick Pepper, RR 4
Seaforth, resulted in a fine of
$25.
OPP Constable Bill Glassford
told the court Pepper had been
driving north on Highway 21 on
July 9 when he apparently fell
asleep in the Drysdale area,
His car criss-crossed on the
highway and eventually landed
Up in the ditch.
Magistrate Hays told Pepper
there was as much danger to
himself as to others on the high-
To honor salt
at county town
Salt, the cornerstone of the
economy of Goderich, is to be
honored.
In September, celebrations are
planned to mark the 100th an-
niversary of the discovery, there
of salt.
The Sifto Salt division of Dorn-
tar Chemicals Ltd. is to put up
a cairn across from the Huron
County jail. The cairn is to stand
on a hill overlooking the Maitland
River valley where salt was first
found in 1866.
A one-ton piece of salt is to
be inserted into the cairn.
The discovery of salt, here,
was first made by Samuel Platt.
By 1872, 11 salt wells were pro-
ducing more than 2,000 barrels
a day.
Deposits beneath the town are
thought to still be the largest
in the world.
