Mothers are busily preparing for "back-to-school" days, reminded and encouraged by the multiple ads for back-to- school supplies. Holiday time is almost over. Labour Day weekend is at hand, the last long weekend when people flock to , the summer resorts for one more carefree holiday at the beach. Many cottage owners take the opportunity to get their property ship-shape for the end of the season. But take it easy folks. Don't let this weekend end in tragedy. Why do people want to close their eyes to the questionable and degrading things that go on in our society? They criticize the publication of books and arti- cles, the TV airing and the showing on theatre screens of these subjects that are, unfortun- ately, daily happenings in our (Continued on page 8) -Mrs. Lottie McCutcheon won the top award, the Eaton Special (Silver Comport) also the Dixon Reid prize for arrangements and the.

The village of 956 has no regular police force of its own but is patrolled by Ontario Pro-. vincial 'Police - Wingham Detach- ment. Reeve Jack McCutcheon, pre- siding at the Meeting, spoke first of the noise problem: "How some people sleep, I'll never know", he said and continued "Then there is the danger. We have been lucky so far -- no serious acci- dents", and he referred to a recent double fatality in the town of Mitchell. Sharing the platform with the reeve was OPP Corporal C.R. Croskill of Wingham. Col. Croskill urged citizens to identify to the police people causing disturbances. Charges would then be laid and the citizen would appear in court to testify", "It's your town", he said. Cpl. Croskill reported there is a 95% conviction rate on charges laid by the police arriving out of incidents in firubsels. He directed citizens to phone Zenith 50,000 - no charge - whenever there is a dis- turbance. It is the nearest radio controlled detachment and a police cruiser can be directed to the area. He said anyone telephoning must leave his name and address. Cpl. Croskill said that the people who are squealing tires and causing a disturbance have little regard for their community. 'Any idiot can take a car out and put the gas pedal to the floor -- it takes a sensible person to drive a car right." Reeve McCutcheon said in identifying a troublemaker "I don't feel it is a question of squealing. Quite a number of people are aware of the ruckus. I feel you are doing these young people a favour if you report them and they are brought to court. It's like bringing up your own children, they have to be taught -- And we may keep them alive, or someone else alive." "It's up to the town people to stick out their necks a bit" the reeve added. Cpl. Croskill stated that police no longer are laying charges of "unnecessary noise", but rather that of "creating a dis- turbance" under the criminal code which may result in a crim- inal record for a young person. The corporal spoke of the ten municipalities and large area under the jurisdiction of the Wingham detachment, which meant they could not be in. Brus- sels 24 hours a day. irlAte may come into town at midnight, stay until 2. a.m. and all will be quiet. Then by the time, we get out of town to the first corner, I'm sure the tires are squealing back in town. But what can we do? We can't baby- sit the town", he said. Reeve McCutcheon POn!- plained about the number of bot- tles tossed out on the lawns and roads". It's not safe for child- ren to run in barefeet anymore". The reeve said that most young people have their own car and "it seems you must be able to turn, as many loops as the next one". He suggested there was a problem from having a younger age group sitting in the hotels. Cpl. Crosicill disagreed saying that the police don't have as many complaints "We don't have the drinking on the roads, we don't have the liquor seizures, our liquor offences are down 50 per cent this year", he said. Reeve McCutcheon said that there were only about half a dozen "continuous trouble makers". He located the trouble spot as being mainly on the Main Street where (Continued on Page 6) Miss Lynne Workman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C.L.
