Just report your disturbances and be willing to testify." One woman asked "What hap- pens to yonr own property?" and the reeve agreed that is a problem. "But you have to stand up and stick with it. You'll probably get a few threats but things will get worse if there is no deterrent" he said. "The word would soon get around that Brussels was a bad place to play around". Reeve McCutcheon said he thogght it was a good thing to "catch them before they are professionals at it - it may not take so long to slow them down." Cpl. Croskill addressed. the group of teenagers among the thirty people at the meeting and asked them if anyone, wished to express an opinion. When none was forthcoming he asked one youth "Would you report a per- son? Would you testify?" The youth firmly said "No", and the corporal asked "Why?" The youth hesitated and said "I'd be afraid." "Of the driver?" asked the corporal. "Not of the driver -- but of all the people in the community", was the reply. The youth did agree if his brother were struck by one of the rampaging cars he would report and testify. He said he felt the meeting has accomplished nothing. "If we as reponsible citizens would do something, it would help. Every little thing would help", Reeve McCutcheon com- mented. The corporal said that every Monday he knows the names he will find, as the problem is with the same small majority. Brussels clerk, William King reported that the council had written a letter endorsing Clinton's stand complaining against the leniencey of the county court and he felt that the judge and the courts in Huron would get tougher. Reeve McCutcheon said he had been approached by people in Brussels to have its own police but said "this would cost us a terrific amount on the taxes" and added "It may come to this." As the meeting adjourned, Cpl. Croskill urged citizens to phone in complaints and promised they would be investigated.
