Grand Bend ChaMber, of Commerce voted in favour of . having a Burgerfest in 1980, despite many members expressing reservations about The group met last Tuesday night and Pinery drivers are charged During the week of January 6 to 12, the Pinery Park detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police laid eight charges under highway, traffic act. Two people were charged under the liquor licence act, and one theft was investigated. Constable R.J. Kotwa of the Pinery detachment would like to remind drivers that Section 94 of the High- way Traffic Act requires the driver of a vehicle upon a highway before turning left or right at any intersection, or into a private road or driveway, or from one traffic lane to another, or to leave the roadway, shall first see that such movement can be made in safety, and if the operation of any other vehicle may be affected by such move, shall give a signal plainly visible to the driver of such other vehicle of the intention to make such move. The driver of a vehicle parked or stopped on a high- way, before setting the vehicle in motion, is also required to follow the same procedure. It figures - I used to be a died-in-the-wool snow hater, and normally I would have loved a winter like this. But last year I purchased a pair of cross country skis, and actually enjoyed getting out in the snow. So what do we get this year? Nothing! I really enjoyed a cross country ski clinic at the Pinery on Sunday - it's just too bad we had to sit indoors and listen to the lecturer, instead of getting outside to try her suggestions. I'd highly recommend such clinics - they're, put on by the Ontario Ski Council - and you learn a lot, even if there isn't any snow. I could say that the lack of snow is good for driving conditions, but lately I've noticed that many of us drivers are having a visibility problem. The high- way folks, having an abundance of sand, are dumping it on the road anyway. this, mixed with the rain makes a nice mud which coats your windshield whenever. there's another car near you on the road. So now I have a new way of measuring my mileage - I figure that its a good trip if I don't have to stop and refill that little container with the blue juice that comes out the windshield washer squirter- outer, Sure, I keep track of my kilometers per liter too. And with just an hour or two to spare, a thick pad of scratch paper and a calculator, I can tell you exactly how many miles per gallon I'm getting. Sometimes. Z z God must belong to the New DemOcratic Party. When the NDP decided that they wanted an election, everybody screamed, "we can't campaign in winter!" The NDP said they could, and sure enough - no snow - at least in this part of Canada. Burgerfest '80 was the main topic of conversation. Of the 28 members present, the majority wanted to go ahead with it. Secretary manager Bob Simpson said that the main problem is finding enough help to make the fest a success. "It always ends up with a few people doing all• the work, Simpson said. He said that the next step is finding a chairman to look after Burgerfest,, Simpson said that a tremendous amount of work goes into the fest, and last year the chamber made only $3,400. When this was brought up at the meeting, some members asked what the aim of Bwgerfest is - to make money or to draw people into Grand Bend. Simpson said that the new executive under president Eugene Grenier is going to have to take a long look at the plans and perhaps make some changes in.the format. He said that one suggestion has been to close the beer tent over the supper hour. This means the tent would be open from noon til six p.M., then close for two hours and re-open at eight for the evening. This would give workers a chance to clean up the tent, and replenish supplies. It would also get rid of patrons who• were becoming intoxicated, and move the .crowds, onto Main Street for their meal. There hasn't been a serious problem with rowdyism, but security is a "constant pressure", ac- cording to Simpson. Many volunteers are needed for security. He said that the new executive is going to try to expand activities • surrounding the beer tent. Following the holiday season the duplicate bridge games have started up again at the Parish hall.

Stan Preszcator and Mrs. Mary Thornton were Sunday supper guests with Mr. and Mrs. Robert England and boys, Huron Park. Mary's musings BY MARY ALDERSON It's too bad the eaders aren't going to debate on television. Now we'll have to watch shows like Mork and Mindy, WKRP or Three's Company - and they won't be nearly as funny. Who are you going to vote for anyway? A fellow who got mixed up between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem in his last campaign - so you kind of worry about how much he's getting straight this time? Or a fellow who's promised to quit after he's elected and heaven knows what we'd end up with then - maybe a friend of his he met a Studio 54? Or a fellow who promises everything - knowing that chances he'll have to deliver are pretty slim? Anyway I think we're lucky - not having to vote on the leaders. Some of our local candidates seem more concerned about the country then those they are following. Well, it finally happened - I said the words that have been on the tip of my tongue several dines. After filling up my car's gas tank at my favourite self-serve, I went inside to pay the cashier, The girl was very friendly and pleasant, and surprisingly enough, she admired my hair. (This was surprising because I had just stepped inside from a 90 mile an hour gale wind.) Her next question was, "Where do you get your hair done?" Autematically I replied, "Oh my boyfriend does it, he's a hairdresser." As I was handing her the money to pay for my gas, she glanced at the gold rings on my left hand. I shrieked, "Oh, I mean my husband - we've been married six months." I heard her laughing behind me, as I went back out to my car. FACTORY OUTLET GRAND BEND 238-8007 Business B.
