Lorraine Webber paid a speeding ticket of $12.50 after she drove on Highway 4 at 40 mph in a 30 mph zone, • "It's a tough act to follow!" That was the comment of G. ' D. Finnen, sales manager at Dashwood Industries Limited, after the firm had received the Charles H. Broad award for an advertising campaign conducted during the past year. The award is presented to the Canadian firm which places first for outstanding effectiveness in industrial advertising. Over 150 of Canada's largest companies compete for the coveted award, and the fact that DIL won it on their first attempt is the reason Finnen notes it's a • tough act to follow. Each year, Canadian companies compete in five divisions of industrial advertising for Sheppard Awards, with the winners of those five categorieS then competing for the Charles H. Broad award. Dashwood Industries Limited had the winning award in the construction materials class and then won out over the four other class winners for the main prize.

The awards were recently presented in Toronto by the Association of Industrial Advertisers. This was the first year DIL conducted a major advertising campaign and they did it with a series of artistic color ads in various trade journals. The campaign was handled by the Cockfield, Brown Advertising Agency, London, who landed another of the division honors as well. The advertisements carry messages pertaining to Dashwood wood windows. The campaign helped the area firm realize a doubling of sales and this was one of the basis for the award. Not only did the campaign help sales, but DIL has received considerable publicity since winning the award. A writeup and picture of one of the advertisements appeared in Marketing and was featured in a full page article on industrial advertising in The Financial Post. "It was quite an honor for the company," Finnen said in discussion of the award. Rabies scare is passing The recent scare of a possible rabies epidemic in the town of Exeter has apparently receded. Local Police Chief C. H. MacKenzie told the T-A Wednesday morning that "According to the latest reports from. Department of Health officials on animals sent for diagnosis, the danger is lessening." The chief asks that residents still be on the lookout for suspected cases of rabies and report to the police office immediately of any animals acting strangely.

"I find I can't do justice to the job now," Wooden stated, noting he hasn't the .time between council meetings to think about municipal matters as he .did before assuming the job of principal at the local school. He has been on council for seven years and has been instrumental in many aspects of the progress made in planning in the community. Newby, who stated he has enjoyed his two-year stint, also is resigning because he finds he can not afford the time to serve. Deputy-Reeve Mery .Cudmore. said Tuesday night he is still finding it difficult to make up his mind due to the pressures of business, but indicated he would possibly stand again. Also still slightly doubtful is Councillor George Vriese, although he indicated he would probably stand, especially if a nucleus of experienced members resigned. The veteran member of council, Ross Taylor, said he at first had decided to resign his position this year, but has now changed his mind and will run. Mayor Jack Delbridge, Drivers face traffic counts Exeter OPP continued their concentrated surveillance of area drivers this past week and laid 26 charges under the Highway Traffic Act. Another 25 drivers were given warnings. The crack-down on drivers appears to,be paying dividends, as only two accidents were reported this week, both involving only one vehicle. On Wednesday at 10:45 a.m., a truck operated by Douglas P. Workman, RR 4 Brussels, went out of control on the St. Marys Road and rolled onto its side. Damage was estimated at $3,000 by Constable F.L. Giffin. The other crash occurred on Saturday at 1:00 a.m. when a car operated by James P. Morrissey, RR 2 Crediton, struck a farm fence on a curve at Concession 2, Stephen Township. The car had been proceeding west on No. 21 County Road. Constable W.G. Glassford listed damage at $100.00.

They are PUC chairman R. E, Pooley and Commissioner Murray Greene. Again Friday the long arm of the law weighed heavily on the pocketbooks of youthful drinkers as Magistrate Glenn Hays QC continued his policy of cracking down on under age boozers. In the case of James J. Foster, Exeter, who pleaded guilty to two charges of possessing liquor while still under the legal thin king age of 21 years, the combination of fines and court costs totalled $180.60.

Herbert Thomas Little, Members of the board of South Huron District High School decided Tuesday evening to "get on the ball" to have a list of suggestions prepared for presentation to the new Huron County Board of Education which will come into being after the first of January 1969: Although there is every indication that present school boards — both elementary and secondary — will be asked to carry on for the first Six months of next year to permit a smoother transitional period, it is expected that a 'director of education will be hired by the end of 1968.

Morgan Smith, Bayfield„ has had little success in formulating plans, Even teachers within the county school system are puzzled about the connotations Of the new methods. Varying opinions among education officials in Huron, however, would indicate a definitely cool attitude to the change. In his regular report to the. board, Prineipal Wooden Made softie recommendations which he hoped the new board of education would consider in the future, One Of Wooden's pet dreams is the Utilization of the school (Unities during the weekends, partieUlarly in the winter Months when people are looking for things to do„ Wooden told the board he Was thinking particirlatly of the library alyd gyintlaSitraiS although some other'>onIS may he of use individuals on a Saturday or Sunday. flooded 'thought the new board .

Rev. Noble Hatton, Ontario Regional Director for the Canadian Council of Christians and Jews, expressed the opinion Nixon would resume the arms race with Russia. Speaking at the annual R. E. Pooley branch banquet, Monday, the United Church minister also said Nixon thinks the answer to law and order problems is to use force. Rev. Hatton, however, added that he was even more worried about the fact about 10,000,000 Americans backed George Wallace in the presidential election. But he also reminded his audience of over 200 that many Canadians were no better and there were many problems to be faced in this country as well. He termed the plight of the Canadian Indian as one of "our deep problems" and suggested the Indian hasn't been treated very well and in many cases "has been robbed of the dignity of manhood"' "We have to give them the right to make some of their own decisions and give them back their dignity," he said. He went on to point out that that the relationship of Quebec with the rest of Canada was also a problem. However, he noted it was not a Quebec problem — but rather a Canadian problem. After noting the country would be much poorer if it wasn't for the distinct cultures and traditions of Quebec, Rev. Hatton said there were many English speaking Separatists in Canada. "They're Separatists because they're ignorant, prejudiced and just don't care," he opined. In conclusion, he said the answer to the problems facing men and nations throughout the world was the need for sincerity, courage of one's convictions and an enthusiasm that's going to be contagious. Attending the banquet were members of the local Legion, including Some 25 veterans of World War T, area municipal representatives and mel,,bers of other service organizations.
