Now someone has invented an air bag for the front of the car. The bag is inflated when the driver pushes a "panic button' In Japan's future may well be a total ban of autos from its cities. Instead, people will be moved about via conveyor belts and computerized subways. A COOL ATMOSPHERE -- The fountain at Exeter's Riverview Park was an inviting spot for persons wishing to cool off.

"Supervisory staff have been successful in maintaining the vast power system across the entire province. In addition, by working exceptionally long hours they have restored service to thousands of homes following severe storm damage in just about every section of Ontario," Mr. Palmer explained, He said one of the main con- cerns was the inconvenience to about 2,000 new home owners whose residences are ready for electrical service, but can't be connected to the system because of the strike, There appears little hope of very many of them being con- nected until personnel in the area offices return to work. Scots coming for festival The Campbells are coming and so are the MacDonalds, MacMillans, MacPhersons, MacGregors and all their Highland cousins from all over Canada and the United States for the first annual Scottish World Festival to be held at the Canadian National Exhibition, Toronto, Canada, August 17 - 20. It will be the greatest Ceilidh ever held in North America. Ceilidh is Gaelic for party — and that's just what it will be in Toronto, Canada, as the Scots take over the 350-acre Canadian National Exhibition for an International Gathering of the Clans. The Duke of Argyll, Chief of Clan Campbell, heads the parade of Scottish Chiefs coming to Toronto for the Festival. Also coming are; the Rt. Hon. Lord MacDonald, Chief of the Clan Donald; General Sir Gordon MacMillan of MacMillan, Chief of the Clan MacMillan; William Macpherson of Cluny, Chief of the Clan Macpherson, and Lt. Col. Sir Gregor MacGregor of MacGregor of the Scots Guards, Chief of Clan MacGregor. The four days in August, the 17th to 20th will feature a Scottish military tattoo, Scottish displays, a Scottish variety show and the military band of the famed Scots Guards — plus over 2,000 pipers and 500 Highland Dancers from Canada, the United States, Scotland and New Zealand. history, creates backlog began disappearing after union stewards had refused to respond to requests for assistance during restoration of power following storms during the last two weeks, • The two sides differ in their opinions as to their willingness to bargain, "Hydro has yet to get an across-the-table reply to its wage and benefits offer made early in. May," Mr. Palmer stated. However, a news release this week from cup4. said Hydro continues to mislead the public by saying the Union has made no reply to its May 2 offer, "We did present a very much reduced package to the government mediator, but Hydro refused to budge on its preconditions of split wage, continental work week and no job security clause, thereby blocking negotiations," The Union also claims many of their members are not on strike, but in reality have been locked out. The present Hydro offer would mean an average increase in wages for CUPE members of about 11 percent over two years, plus an extra three percent in- crease in the second year of the contract if the consumer price index rose three percent. Mr, Palmer also said im- provements to the pension ,plan and introduction of a long-term disability plan would be in- troduced, S Inutll it s The strike by local 1000 of the Canadian Union of Public Employees against Ontario Hydro this week became the longest labor dispute — outside the construction sector — the utility has experienced, reports Walter Palmer, manager of Hydro's Clinton area "In 1969 CUPE staged a series of rotating strikes over a period of five weeks, but on Wednesday we surpassed that," said Mr. Palmer, Workers in the Clinton area office have worked only one day since June 29.

Between the hours of 8 a.m. and 2 a.m. parking will be limited to one hour, At the same time, motorcycles will be restricted to one for each parking spot. The parking regulations would be in effect each year from May 15 to October 15. At the same meeting a motion to proceed with erosion control work on the Ausable River in Grand Bend was defeated. An estimate from the Ausable- Bayfield Conservation Authority had listed the village's share of the work at about $17,000, In a recorded vote, councillors Bill Cochrane and Dave Jackson voted in favour of the motion with councillor Murray Des Jardins and Reeve John Payne opposing. Payne said it was not fair to bind another council to a debt of this amount. The readers write Dear Sir; I was wondering if you could see your way clear to give us first, a few minutes of your time to read my letter and secondly, if you consider it worthwhile spal;e in your paper so that the general public can peruse it and think about it; then take some action to bring the problem to a successful conclusion. My story starts with the saying that we often hear in the spring just when the snow has left "Isn't everything so dirty. It sure will be nice when the grass starts to grow and greens up, and we get the spring rains to wash things down." Well the spring rains come, and the grass grows and greens, but there are some articles that the rains cannot wash away — or the grass doesn't grow tall enough to cover it and that is the litter that is so carelessly thrown or placed along our highways, picnic or park lands. Even if the grass does manage to cover it, there are people who keep adding to the litter year round. , The Highway Traffic Act states ttiat "Eyery person who throws 'or deposites or causes to be depbsited any glass, nails, tacks pr scraps of metal or any rubbish, refuse, waste or litter upon, along or adjacent to the highway, ex- cept in receptacles provided for the purpose, is guilty of the of- fence of littering on the high- wa.' If y a person is convicted of this offence, a sizeable fine can be imposed by the courts. A police officer can never be everywhere, so it is up to the public to help their police force because a police force is only as good as the co-operation they receive from the public. A policeman is an employee of the public, but like an employee, he must have the equipment to do the job and in his case, the more information he can receive, the better the job can be done. In this case, we are not asking the public for information, but rather that they police them- selves and the members of their families. It's true that one little cigarette butt, one facial tissue, one pop can or one ice cream wrapper, just to mention a few articles, doesn't cover much area, but WOW! — If everybody that uses our highways or parks dropped one little article what a mess it would be, If anyone cares to disagree with me, just stop and look around and ask the Ministry of Transportation & Com- munications or the Ministries of Natural Resources and Industry and Tourism how much garbage they collect and what it costs to 1968 CHEVROLET 4 Door, 6 Automatic, Radio $ 895 1968 MERCURY MONTEGO 2 Door Hardtop V-8, Automatic, Power Sheering, Brakes, Radio, Vinyl Top $1295 1967 FORD GALAXIE 500 2 Door Hardtop, V-8, Automatic, Power Steering, Power Brakes, Radio $ 995 1967 PLYMOUTH 2 Door Hardtop, V43, Automatic $ 895 Hodgins AUTO SALES CLANDE BOVE pick up after the litter bugs have been there, People have always wanted to save money; well there is a case where we can save millions. Sure Local potter attends course Interest in Canadian arts and crafts is making a come-back, and Exeter is not without its share of very capable craftsmen, or women, as the case may be. Mrs. Flora Doerr, a local lady specializing in pottery has recently returned from a three- week advanced summer course in ceramics at Sheridan college. The course was taught by a well-known American artist, Donald Reitz, Professor of Art at the University of Wisconsin. Most of the students in the program were Americans, both because its much cheaper to take such a course in Canada, and because they are following Prof. Reitz and his reputation. "It was a fantastic three weeks," said Mrs. Doerr. "We started at 9 every morning, and didn't stop until the wee hours of the morning:: She said that Prof. Reitz taught not only technique, but lectured on his personal philosophy with regards to a person and his art work. "We all felt the same . like we'd gotten a three-year course in three weeks," said Mrs. Doerr. The next show for which Mrs. Doerr is preparing will take place August 4 and 5 in Lucknow. She makes stoneware pottery. "Most of it is very functional," she said. "Just about anything one would use in a house." Horse winner Lloyd Venner of Hensall won the senior division of the Ontario horseshoe pitching competitions held in Dowling, near Sarnia recently. Venner downed Elmer Crawford of Minesing and Oscar Rowe of New Lowell with even scores of .4-2, Emmerson Anderson of Kippen placed second in the men's ,"B" championship class with an 8-3 score.- If the car pulls constantly to one side when stopping, it's probably due to a wheel cylinder defect, The highest recorded price for a vintage car was the $65,000 paid for a 1905 Rolls-Royce a few years ago.
