A favorite at the mini courses is the swinging pole hole. This is always a tricky shot, and much of the action depends on the pole swinger. All three of the courses provide 18 holes of fun. Beach Golf and Goofy Golf PICK 'EM UP — Sheila Engel, 14, uses a hollow tube fitted with a rubber end to pick up golf balls on the driving range. The home-made device allows the balls to go into the tube, but the rubber end prevents them from falling back out.

Play Centre costs 75 for adults and only 60 for children in the afternoons. Putters and balls are provided at the courses. For those who take their golfing a little more seriously, Grand Bend has its own attractive Three Par Course. This nine hole course is just north of the village, and covers about four acres. A small creek runs through, and trees abound in the pretty wooded area. Owner Morley Sanders says the course keeps him busy during the summer. It requires all the same at- tention given to a big golf course - irrigation, and special treatment for the lush greens. "It's just a hobby, I'm not in it for the business," Sanders says. Sanders is a retired school teacher. Sanders charges $1.25 to go on the course, and clubs and balls can be rented. Once you've practised your strokes you can con- tinue your workout across the road at the driving range. Loraine Engel along with her daughters Elise and Sheila look after the driving range: You get 36 balls in a bucket for $1,00. The Engels say they have many regular customers who come to the driving range for practise before they go on the big course. Or many people come just for the exercise of hitting a bucket of balls.. The Engels keep busy mowing the grassy area of the driving range, and picking up balls. A small garden tractor pulls a machine which automatically picks up the mounds of yellow golf balls. For those that the machine misses, the Engels use a tube to pick up stray balls. This prevents the work from becoming back-breaking, So at last you're ready - you've putted on the minis, swung on the three par, and driven on the range. Now it's time for the big course. Oak- wood features 18 holes and some good golfing. GB Church has guest speaker Guest speaker and soloist at the United Church mor- ning service was Roberta Hallingsworth, of Peter- borough, introduced by Glen Miller, Mr. Hollingsworth led the opening hymn sing.

His sermon text was taken from St. Matthew, chapter 16, verses 13-15. He told us we should have the courage. of our convictions, not to be a sucker and go with the stream, but be like a salmon spawning upstream for God.

Bag limits on pheasants are three per day either sex, ,grouse his been set at five per day, partridge eight per Dear Editor: In concern for person's lives and personal safety, I would like to inform the people of Huron County just what is happening on our highways (which involves every road the public has access to including gravel roads). On the rural highways of Huron County alone (not including town streets) there have been 544 accidents investigated by the Ontario Provincial Police for the seven month period ending 31 July 79. Last year for the same area and the same seven month period 481 accidents were investigated by the Ontario Provincial Police, which I believe should alarm any driver with common sense. Out of the total number of accidents for the seven month period ending 31 July 78 there were 12 persons killed in this county. Out of the total number of accidents for the seven month period ending 31 July of this year there were 15 persons killed in this county. Approximately half of the accidents involve one car running off the road and turning over or striking something. There are many reasons such as: Speed too fast, inexperience, inat- tention, alcohol etc. In multi- car accidents all of these plus following too close, improper turns and fail to stop where required, are all responsible for accidents. To help reduce this day and bobwhite quail, six perday. Hunters will be allowed to take five squirrels six cot- tontails and six European hares There is no limit on the number of foxes, rac- coons or snowshoe hares one can take,' The deer season in our area is again restricted to archery equipment only. Black powder guns are not allowed. It will run from October 22 to December 15. dramatic increase in ac- cidents, radar will be used more extensively in Huron County. The Huron County Court in its desire to curb accidents has increased the speeding fines. Also, since liquor abuse plays such a role in Huron County the Court has set no out-of-court set- tlement for minors charged with liquor offences, and raised the fines from $54.00 to $104.00 including costs for those of age. All 0.P.P. Detachments in Huron County are ex- periencidng increased liquor violations and some over 100 percent increases from last year at this time. The Ontario Provincial Police are definitely thinking of your safety and are en- forcing YOUR laws to PROTECT YOU. If you are the type of person who only thinks of the money angle, the new fine system should encourage you to abide by your laws, for example, if you are driving with open beer in your car and driving 120 km in an 80 km zone your fine would be $100.00 plus $4.00 cost for the liquor and $100.00 plus $3.00 costs for speeding, totalling $207.00, plus six demerit points against your licence.
