In another charge under the Criminal Code, William Leonard Phillips, Exeter, was fined $60 after pleading guilty to a theft of goods under $50. He was charged with the theft of five gallons of gasoline which was siphoned from a truck parked at the yard at Exeter District Co-Op on April 3. The court learned that Phillips was under probation resulting from a previous conviction. Liquor infractions again constituted a large share of the court docket. James A. Foster, Exeter, paid $75 on a charge of having liquor while under the age of 21. He was charged after police stopped his car on a speeding infraction on March 21 in Hay Township. Foster paid $60 on the speeding charge for travelling at 80 m.p.h. in a 60 zone. Jacob Hovius, Hensall, paid a fine of $50 for having liquor while under the legal age. He was apprehended on a parking lot in Hensall and had a part bottle of whiskey on his person. Another minor, William Hiram Beiber, London, paid a fine of $60. He was in charge of a car stopped by police on April 4 in Stephen Township. In the only other charge under the Liquor Control Act, Peter Collins Depaepe, Sarnia, paid a fine of $35 for having liquor in a place other than his residence. He was charged after police had stopped his car to check on a faulty tail light. The stiffest penalty handed Centralia Farmers Supply Ltd.

He was charged with careless driving following an accident in Exeter on February 25 when he struck a cement pillar at the entrance to the park on Hill St. Other drivers paying fines were: John Twynstra, Ailsa Craig, $20 for making an improper pass to the right of another vehicle on April 9. Ronald Franklin Hannah, Exeter, $30 for failing to yield the right of way while backing out of a private drive. Muriel E. Dunlop, Exeter, $30 for failing to yield the right of way on February 18. Eugene Webber, Hay, $35 for failing to turn out to the left while passing another vehicle. He collided with the vehicle. In the only contested case, a charge of careless driving was dismissed by Judge Hays against Richard Allan Shantz, Zurich. On February 8, a car driven by Shantz had struck another vehicle parked across from the Zurich arena on Highway 84. In handing down his decision, Judge Hays stated there appeared to be a degree of not keeping a proper look-out, but not to the degree of careless driving. Shantz was represented in court by E. D.

It is mainly to show people of Canada the importance of the job Police Officers are doing to protect society against the encroachment of those who do not want to follow the rules set legally by our society. It is for the people of a community to get to know their Police Officers, respect, and try and understand their daily work. Living in the age of increasing violence, the law enforcement officers are here to prevent crime and to protect each and every law abiding citizen. CAVEN PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Minister: Rev. Wilfred D.

H. -Thynne, Pastor Telephone 233-2476 "Where The Whole nible Is Wholly Taught" Exeter April ,27,1970 Sir: From letters appearing in The Times-Mvocate and The London Free Press, it appears that Goderich Councillor Paul Carroll is rather upset that we on Exeter council did not support his resolution calling for a four-lane access from Huron and Perth Counties to the Macdonald Cartier Freeway. I wish to make it clear that my personal comment about the plan that it was "the stupidest thing I ever read" was not made as a "light-hearted" reaction as Mr. Carroll suggests. Thinking about the situation in the light of his criticism of Reeve Derry Boyle and myself, I realize I may have used wrong words. The plan is only ONE of the stupidest things I have ever read. I find no argument with the facts presented by Mr. Carroll in the Program for Development published by MODA. I have no doubt but what a four-lane access from Goderich to Highway 401 via Stratford would bring some benefits to the areas of Perth and Huron. However, I remain totally unconvinced that the vast expenditure in such a project could be considered practical from any sense. To my recollection Highway 401 was built at a cost of over $2,000,000 per mile and in view of the increased costs since that time, it is conceivable that a four-lane route would now cost in the neighborhood of twice that much. Multiply that by the number of miles required for Goderich or other parts of Huron to get a highway access to 401 and it becomes evident that a phenominal growth would have to take place upon completion of the job to warrant such an expenditure. For Mr. Carroll's information, such over-night development does not go hand-in-hand with such a project. There are many small towns comparable in size to those in Huron who have not realized such development even though they are located right on Highway 401. Towns and cities such as Tilbury, Ridgetown, Chatham, Ingersoll, Woodstock and Preston have not enjoyed any rapid industrial growth and yet the latter three in particular have the added advantage which would not be shared with Huron County in that they are closer to the high density market areas of Toronto and Hamilton. Another point that has td be considered in the establishment of a four-lane highway into Huron is the large amount of valuable agricultural land which would be literally eaten up. Industrial expansion has already devoured a large amount of productive farm land in the Golden Horseshoe area and it is quite apparent that we cannot continue to take our best land out of production for highway use — nor for the large industrial expansion envisaged by Mr. Carroll. Not so long ago, several Huron fariners became quite upset over the idea of having their land taken over by the Ontario government for a game preserve. Some of this land was marginal agricultural land and it makes one wonder what the reaction from the farmers in Huron and Perth would be if hundreds of them were faced with the possibility of being shunted from their land for a highway or industrial use. The loss in farm jobs and the replacement of those jobs would require a large industrial expansion to take place even before the status quo of the labor force and the taxes they pay would be realized. While an increase in tourism is also suggested by Mr. Carroll, it would appear that this comes from the Detroit-Windsor area and not from Toronto, which has equally enticing tourist facilities to the north and east. One interesting comment in the Program for Development published by MODA is the fact that improved access to Hamilton Harbour would aid industrial development in the Waterloo and Wellington Counties area. If Mr, Carroll places so much faith in the published study, he could perhaps answer the question of why Goderich has not already enjoyed vast industrial growth when in fact they have excellent shipping facilities on their doorstep! In conclusion, Mr. Carroll may argue that he only wants a feasibility study done on the Stole liquor — Continued from page 1 laid after two breakins at Club Albatross at the industrial park. A total of 55 bottles of liquor were taken from the club. About half have been recovered. Seniuk was remanded for a pre-Sentence report.

Lamont. critic The readers write Mayor answers average time it takes to move the foot from the accelerator to the brake.

DON'T DEPEND ON FAST REACTION TIME. project; but, he should note that such studies in themselves cost a great deal and it is still my opinion that a four-lane access from 401 to Goderich via Stratford would be completely unrealistic and therefore even the feasibility study would be a waste of the taxpayers' .noney. The services we now demand already are placing a dangerous strain on tax monies and obviously we can not afford to waste any of it. Personally, Mr. Carroll, I have never felt isolated in Huron County. While we in Exeter are always interested in attracting new industries into our community, I'm sure few residents are anxious to turn it # # into a polluted, overcrowded industrial metropolis. Those who would choose that way of life can move to Toronto or Hamilton if they wish. It may be quicker for them if they had a four-lane highway, but that's one of the hardships (??) of living in the beautiful rural confines of South Huron. What you do with the north west corner is partly up to you, but I know many of our Exeter residents would be sorry to see the demise of your fishing streams and wooded areas through exhaust•belching automobiles on a four-lane highway leading through area after area of industrial plants. J. H. Delbridge Dear Constable: I know it is an offence to pull to the side of the road and sit there with the directional light working. There must be quite a few driver's who don't know it, because I see it almost everyday. Why don't you tell the people again? ANSWER — Thank you for; the suggestion, I will do just that. I won't get too technical about it, just quote from the Department of Transport's Driver Handbook which states, "Turn signals must not be used for any purpose other than when turning, changing lanes, or pulling away from a parked position." Youth fined for assault against Exeter woman I- Dear Constable; Answer this if you can. I am required to have my name on my truck. Why do the O.P.P. drive plain cars with no name on? Are they breaking the law and no one says anything? ANSWER — The secion of the Highway Traffic Act that applies to names on commercial motor vehicles is Section 51, but section 7 of regulations 224 states, "Subsection 1 of Section 51 of the Act does not apply to a commercial motor vehicle or a trailer drawn by it, registered in the name of or operated under any form of contract on behalf of a department of a provincial government, and the O.P.P. is a department of a provincial government, and besides this, a police cruiser is not a commercial motor vehicle. They are registered as passenger vehicles. Dear Constable: Please tell my son that you cannot stop a car on a dime. ANSWER — I will quote from the Driver's Handbook, "You cannot stop on a dime! On dry roads, you travel a long way from the time you see danger, recognize it, decide to stop, and apply brakes. These distances increase with the increase in the speed travelled. At 30 miles per hour (or 44 feet per second) the average stopping distance required is 114 feet (7 car lengths). At 30 m.p.h., a vehicle would travel 33 feet in the TEACHER JIM MARSHALL IGNITING ROCKET Rockets take to air at local high school Invite you to join them for Worship, Fellowship and Services A Crediton area youth was ordered to pay a fine of $125 or spend 13 days in jail after pleading guilty to a charge of common assault against a young married women in Exeter on April 16. Raymond Beaver, 20, was also directed to comply with a one-year period of probation to keep the peace and report to the probation officer every two weeks for that period. Judge Glenn Hays, presiding over court in Exeter, Friday, told the area youth that a breach of the terms of the probation may result in prosecution leading to a jail term of six months or a fine of $500. Beaver was charged by Exeter if Monday were six inches in length while the other measured thirty-two inches and included a booster and second stage. The local teacher said interest in this pilot project has been tremendous and rocketry could be included in the school curriculum. "We hope to form our own rocket club or become affiliated with the school's science club," added Marshall. Showing an active interest in building rockets at the school are students John Dobbs, Jesse Postill, Tom Ryan and Bob Doerr. Rocket kits are available at stores in London at a very low price, but engines cannot be purchased by anyone that does not have a rocket licence. Mr. Marshall is the only person in this area that holds the necessary licence. While the project was much smaller than the Apollo 13 venture of a few weeks ago, interest was quite high at South Huron District High School Monday afternoon when three rockets were fired into the sky. Under the direction of staff member Jim Marshall, a group of local students have been working on the rocket program and Monday's firing was the first attempt to get one airborne. Marshall reports a little bit of electrical problem with one of the rockets and the countdown was delayed for a couple of seconds. Each of the three rockets reached a height of about six hundred feet. Their descent to the ground is managed by parachute recovery but one is still lodged in a tree on the property of Gerry Finnen, near the school grounds. Two of the rockets fired FISHERMAN'S COVE GRAND BEND RIVER RD. S.OF BRIDGE CHICKEN & CHIPS * * * FISH & CHIPS * * * SHRIMP & CHIPS ETC.
