No, I couldn't go to any distant station, because of my husband's job in Exeter, We have to wait at least until September '5 to see if any- thing opens up and by that time it will probably be too late for a civilian position.

It's a raw deal for pre- vailing rates to lose their senior- ity after three months on the re- lease list.

He was offered a casual position elsewhere, but turned it down, at least until the rear party has completed its mission. I would take a post in Clinton. I don't like the idea of going to Lon- don, but I might have to come to it later. The closing was in- evitable, after all it's supposed to be peace time and we can't go on training for war.

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 give November 11 more impetus C.A. McDOWELL Ltd. - Continued from front page James R.

A. knesie 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.
