This means all per- sonnel will be responsible for their own commuting and few appear anxious to move here under those conditions. It had been suggested previous- ly that a daily bus service would be provided fpr the personnel going to Clinton. Another facet that appears to be discouraging other personnel from moving in to the PMQ area is the fact they have to agree to live there for one year. F/L M. Pett, CFB Centralia, reported this week that the rail strike could create some prob- lems for those moving out of Centralia, especially those stu- dents who do not have their own means of transportation. He indicated steps were being taken to see what other modes of transportation may be available. He said most of the courses were finishing up this week, al- though the inclement weather has delayed the flying courses to some extent. However, it was stated that the control tower would be shut down in the im- mediate future.

Pointing out what the Huron EMO has accomplished, Forbes listed the following: —Provided a full complement of trained and uniformed Auxil- iary Policemen who have con- tributed hundreds of free hours to communities in the past two years. —Communications planning is completed. —A rescue group has been organized in case of need.

Almost 20 youths paid fines of $50 for consuming liquor while under the age of 21 and seven more paid $25 for having liquor in a place other than their resi- dence. Magistrate Pearson asked one of the youths if his actions would have been altered had he known the fine was going to be $50. "Very possibly," the youth replied. Another one indicated he didn't want to plead not guilty and "prolong the agony", although he wondered how the officer could tell he had been drinking by just smelling his breath. "Doesn't $50 mean anything in this year 1966?" the magis- trate questioned, adding that per- haps the fine should be $100 to make some people think twice. The traffic charges heard in court varied from excessive noise to faulty vehicles. Magistrate Pearson handed down a 10-day license suspension to one youth found guilty of creat- ing unnecessary noise with his car. Barn fire — Continued from front page Nine years ago, they lost half their possessions when a home they were renting in Dresden was razed by fire. The blaze, which could be seen from Exeter, attracted a huge crowd of onlookers, but the heavy rain kept most of them in their cars. There was no livestock in the barn at the time and the loss in addition to the building consisted of hay, straw and grain. Mr. Lovell reported after the fire he would rebuild the struc- ture. Comments from some military personnel at Centralia indicate they're not very happy with their moves from one aspect. Those leaving are finding that their cost of housing has jumped drastically, with some paying twice as much as they did while residing in this area. ities, Police, Fire, radio oper- ators and many others who have now become part of the plan. —Special advisors, with price- less backgrounds in dealing with emergencies, are dedicated vol- unteers. Forbes reported that during the past five years, HuronCounty has supplied less than $4,000 and opined that 'the benefits far exceed this figure". Bean festival — Continued from front page bean farms in the area are be- ing arranged, so visitors from the larger centres may see how beans are grown and processed. If any fields are ready for har- vesting, this operation will be viewed as well. Along with the serving of home- made pork and beans, there will be street markets set up, offer- ing for sale such items as home- made pies, home-made summer sausage, home-made bread, fresh fruit and all types of veget- ables. Several ladies' groups and church organizations will have bazaars and food stands in the streets, and to add to all this there will be pony rides for the children. Other activities include checker and solo competitions in the Township Hall during the afternoon. One of the highlights of the whole program will be the pres- ence of the New Dundee German Clown Band, and this group will entertain throughout the after- noon and early evening. Various organizations in the area have joined together to spon- sor this attraction. Representa- tives of the Zurich Chamber of Commerce, the Lions Club, the Zurich Women's Institute and a number of church groups have all pooled their talents and ideas to make the project possible. All proceeds of the Festival will go towards the installation of artificial ice in the local arena. The Ontario Bean Grow- ers' Association have also play- ed an important role in planning the event. In case of rain the entire pro- gram will be held inside the Zur- ich Community Centre and Arena. In order to collect the blood that is needed by patients in Canadian hospitals, the Red Cross must hold more than 5,000 blood clinics every year.
