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-

the land area contained
within the managed water-
shed. The balance of funds
for conservation programs is
provided by the Provincial
Government. The Maitland

are very lithited compared to
the scope of the problems
that must be dealt with.
Thus, greatly needed pro-

O.P.P. "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.
