Only minor damage in district accidents Lucan Village Council put the finishing touches on an anti-noise by-law Monday night with its main intent to regulate un- necessary and offensive noise. The by-law will not become village law until after Lucan's solicitor has inspected the wording for possible flaws or ambiguities. Once passed back to Council though, it appears a certainty that the by-law will be approved. Council used a model anti-noise by-law from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs to arrive at their own, but added new phrases and sections and deleted others which councillors did not feel were applicable to Lucan. The by-law was originally con- templated back in the summer months when noise on Lucan streets began to be a problem, especially at night. While it covers almost any noise, the by-law is especially intended to restrain loud squealing of tires and dogs that bark all night. These were the two chief complaints that Lucan residents were giving to Council. The by-law would protect not only residents who were being disturbed at home, but persons in public as well, if they were legitimately being disturbed by a loud, ongoing noise. Other types of noises regulated under the proposed by- law would include: shouting, sounds from horns or signal devices, loud radio, TVs, and stereos, sounds of animals over an unnecessary period of time, sounds of unkempt vehicles and machinery, noisy loads, ad- vertising loudspeakers unless special permission from the village had been obtained, and excavating or construction noise between the hours of 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. The penalty for making of- fensive noise would be a maximum of $1,000 and six months in jail. Things like parades which reach louder than usual noise levels would be excluded from regulation, providing a parade permit had been obtained. Likewise, the by-law would exclude regulation of noise which is necessary to the operation of equipment on industrial sites. Council felt that to regulate this type of noise would prevent in- dustry from being able to operate in the village. In other business, Council approved purchase and in- stallation of a new snow plow for the truck. It was learned that the old plow would not fit on the new 1976 C.M.C. truck which Lucan purchased recently, The old plow was purchased used 10 years ago. Although none of the coun- cillors could be definite on whether the '76 budget had in- cluded provision for a new plow, it was decided that the reserve fund could be called into service to pay for the new equipment. Recently it was discovered that a town water main runs right underneath the IGA store. On checking the records it was found that the village laid the pipe 27 years ago but no one on council at that time had thought to purchase an easement from the property owner. Recently the main was struck and broken by digging equipment during construction of the ad- dition on the IGA. Concerned that the village could have problems with maintenance and repair of the main in the future, Council decided to appoint Reeve Hearn as a one- man committee to approach Fred Darling for an easement on the property and a rerouting of the water main. Council will offer to pay the cost of new pipe and parts in exchange for the right-of-way to service the water main, Smiles Marrying a man is like buying something you've been admiring for a long time in a shop window. You may love it when you get it home, but it doesn't always go with everything else in the house. In growing older, we're sup- posed to get more like a peach, inside, as we get more like a prune outside; otherwise, what's the point? Four of the five accidents in- vestigated this week by officers of the Lucan detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police caused only minor damages, The only crash causing ex- tensive damage occurred Monday morning at 8:55 a.m. when a pickup truck and school bus collided on Concession 4 of Biddulph township at the Lucan village limits. No injuries were sustained. Drivers of the vehicles were Rudy Engle and Margaret Avery, both of Lucan. Constable G.N, Wilcox set damages at $2,300, Monday at 7:30 a.m. on High- bury, a half mile south of Con- cession 8 in London township, a pickup truck driven by Clifford Coulson, London left the roadway and struck a hydro guide wire. Hydro services were disrupted for a short time in the Ballymote area. Constable James Craig listed damages at $125. Damages of $175 were sustained by two parked vehicles when they were struck Saturday afternoon at the Ilderton arena parking lot by a vehicle driven by Michael Graham, London. Constable J.A. Wilson in- vestigated. Constable G.N. Wilcox listed By the way things are going there will be no such thing as `work' in the next century. We already have a four-day week in some trades and the militant trade union leaders admit that the ultimate aim is the three day week. And when they get that they will probably insist on a statutory holiday between the first and third day. Well, I have heard that hard work never killed anyone, so I am taking no chances on being its first victim. I'm really not afraid of hard work — that's why I've fought it so successfully for years. My motto is, 'what ever is worth doing is worth asking somebody to do it.' I do most of my work sitting down — that's where I shine. The greatest pleasure in life is having lots to do, and not doing it. Don't know what this has to do with Legion. However if you have read this far you might as well keep going Incidentally the foregoing is not meant to cast any reflection upon anyone — just musing. I came across the following statistics which well explains why all the work in the world is. being neglected. It appears that there is still plenty of work to be done but the trouble is finding some one to do it. The population of Canada is over twenty-two million, but there are seven million over 65 years of age, leaving fifteen million to do the work. People under 18 total 10 million leaving five million to do the work, Five hundred thousand in the armed forces leaves 250,000 workers. Deduct one and a quarter million federal provin- cial, municipal and city em- ployees, which leave a million and a quarter to do the work. There are 250,000 people in hospital, leaving one million to do the work. But 700,000 of these are unemployed and two hundred thousand are on welfare or won't work, so that leaves 100,000 to do the work. Now it may interest you to know that there are eighty thousand people out of the country at the present time and 19,998 people in jail. So that just leaves two people to do the work, and that's just you and me, And brother, I'm getting tired of doing everything by myself. Now if you have got this far — here are a couple of important announcements — Branch 540's next general meeting will be held at the Branch at 8:30 p.m., Wednesday, October 13, Let's have a good turnout of all classification of members — this damages at $150 when a vehicle driven by Kenneth McAdam, R.R, 2, Wingham, left Highway 4, a half mile south of Lucan and struck the ditch Saturday af- ternoon at 2:15 p,m. Thursday at 6:45 p.m. Mary Ann Mohr, R.R. 1, Lucan reported to police that her vehicle had been struck while parked on Frank Street in Lucan, The other vehicle left the scene without reporting the incident. Constable N.A. Campbell set damages at $125. Grants for tennis court Lucan Cuuncil received word Monday night from Jack Riddell, M.P.P. for Middlesex, that the provincial grants for the tennis courts have been approved. Estimated total cost of the proposed new courts would be $16,768. The Wintario grant is for $4,192, leaving a balance of some $12,600 to be made up through public donation. Canvassers for the tennis court fund report that a total of $12,826 has been collected to date. is your Branch — come on out and have your way. Saturday, October 16 the ever popular Peoples Choice will be at the Lucan Legion to entertain you. and that's 30 for this week remember — The guy who said 'two heads are better than one' never had twins. . Dinner Dames meet Lucan No. 2 4-H Dinner Dames held their third meeting, Saturday at Mrs. De Brouwer's home. Nine members answered the roll call of "My favourite fish dish." Louise 'Van de Loo, Louise Morkin and Teresa Spruyt made chicken salad. Mary Dewan and Jackie Toonders made salmon loaf, Mrs. De Brouwer read a section about the third meal fish, foul and flesh. The leaders checked the four day meal plan and said where improvements were needed, Next meeting will be this Saturday at Mrs. Van ,de Loo's home. Where are the pictures? When looking through the Women's Institute Tweedsmuir History at the Library on Saturday afternoon, it is noted that several pictures are missing, These pictures are priceless and have been given to the Institute for the specific purpose of preserving, pictorially, the histor3f of the community. If you have borrowed a picture for the purpose of reproducing it, will you please get it back in place at once. There is no way several of the missing pictures can be reproduced by the committee, as they are heirlooms. Your im- mediate attention to this matter will be greatly appreciated. Personals J.
