'75 PrOblems in town The Maitland Conser- vation Foundation received its charter on September 23, 1975, This registered charit- able 'organization has been established to initiate and continue conservation programs that could not normally be undertaken by the Authority because of lack of funds. Authority projects are - funded partially by annual assessment'of mem- ' bet municipalities, based on the land area contained within the managed water- shed. The balance of funds for conservation programs is provided by the Provincial Government. The Maitland Valley Conservation Author- ity is responsible for an area with a,low population density As a result municipal funds are very lithited compared to the scope of the problems that must be dealt with. Thus, greatly needed pro- jects must be neglected. All donations and bequests can be deducted as chari- table gifts under income tax regulations and are also viewed under estate tax and an individual can help to achieve the aims of the Authority's program and aid in the continuation of enVi- ronmental protection pro- grams now in existence. succession duty regulations.

"there's a problem to the extent that people don't have respect for other people's pioperty. Accidents as a total are down. It's been more quiet of late." The Wingham O.P.P. detachment is responsible for policing the village. He said there are a lot of things that people don't complain about or that some Brussels complaints come to the O.P.P just as information. He said the police lay a lot of charges for squealing tires and unnecessary noise but that's all over, not just' in. Brussels. Brussels is one of their regular patrol areas and the O.P.P. probably patrol Brussels more than any other town because it's bigger and has more traffic and more people, the seargeant said. "There's a problem with a few individuals but the problem exists in every community. • It's no different in Blyth or Wroxeter," Sgt. Skelding said. "There are always going to be people who have less respect for property than they should have," he added. He said that Brussels people who see things happening are going to have to assist the police. Solve It "If they will say in court what they saw, it may help solve the problem." "We have five townships to police. We can't be in one all the time. In order to see everything that goes on in every community we'd have to have a police officer in every community. Barring that, we must have the co-operation of the public." Reeve Cal Krauter of Brussels said he's been waiting to see how the by-law recently passed in Seaforth to control loitering in which anyone who gathers in crowds on Seaforth streets or sidewalks, "so as to obstruct traffic thereon" and who doesn't move on after a request from a police officer is liable to a maximum fine of $1000 works out. Reeve Krauter said, "I can't figure out an alternative. I really believe that if the people in the village who see these things would go to court; it might do something." Burssels would need a by-law enforce- ment offieer of its own to control such by-law according to Sgt. Skelding. The offenses described In Seaforth's by-law do come under the Criminal Cbde and the Highway Traffic Act so that the OPP could lay charges. Seaforth council apparently wanted to give the police more backing by passing this by-law. • "I feel that something should be done. It comes right back to the parents, We thought we were deprived, we try to give kids everything and we're not giving them enough discipline. I think discipline at home is as much the answer as a policeman and if there has to" be something done with these out-of-towners our kids will look after them." He said the people who break windows should be made to replace them immediately and look after the inconvenience of getting prices and making repairs. He felt anyone who sees a person breaking windows should come forth and say something. Main St. merchant, Ken Webster, says "Being president of the Business, Associ- ation, I get an average of two complaints a' day." These complaints include squealing tires, cars going sideways on the street, broken glass on Monday morning, broken windows, hollering and yelling at four o'clock in the morning, damage to the park and at the ball diamond. The damage at these two places includes• driving across the diamond and smashing tables at the park. Mr. Webster, wholives on the main street said .one night he was watching the ball game on TV and had to turn it off at 11 o'clock because there' was so much noise on the streets below. "Our own local kids aren't raising as much hell as kids from out of town. Kids in this town are getting fed up with it. They're trying to cut it down as much as we are, because they're getting the blame for it." The problem, Mr. Webster believes is, "just that they're getting off too easy. They (the police) pick them up, they're (the kids) am making too much money. They pay the fine and they're out the next week doing the same thing all over again." Asked for a possible solution, he said, "I would like to see a policeman, either a provincial living in town or the village hire a policenian for three nights a week to work in town on the weekend." He added, "I feel the policemen are doing the job. It's when it gets to court, the magistrates aren't doing their job." ' Mr. _Webster didn't think local people were giving police the backing they need either. "I think local people are scared of the aftereffects," he said.
