Recover '78 loot ' The Mounties get their man and the OPP get their boats. Exeter police chief Ted Day reported Tuesday that a boat and trailer stolen in Exeter on August 25, 1978 has been found. The boat and trailer were recovered. Friday by officers of the Bracebridge OPP detachment T h e vehicles owned by Smith- Peat of Exeter were valued at $8,000. IS the easiest language to learn, especially the gram- mar part of it. I had more trouble in learning French," Students in university may go at their own speed. Rainer added, "I alzin respon- sible for how fast I finish my studies and take the necessary exams." Austria became a neutral and independent state in 1955 and, has status similar to Switzerland. Rainer continued, "My country is very small com- pared to Ontario. We have seven million people living in an area of 87,000 kilometres in nine states. Onthrio is more than seven times as big." Asked about a comparison in weather,Rainer said, "All of June was rainy. The weather today is just like home. One difference is that wen don't get any thunderstorms, We are protected by the Alps." Rainer got his first taste of a storm at Lake Wildwood when the tent he was sleep- ing in was blown down by high winds, In Austria all fees for education including universi- ty are paid for by taxes. In- come taxes run as high as 63 percent. The Austrian student con- 'tinued, "I like some of your driving rules. We don't have many stop signs. The right of way goes to the vehicle on the right , and we are not allowed to turn right on a red light even after stopping. Freeway speed limits in Austria are 130 kilometres per hour, 100 on country roads and 50 in town. Rainer said cost of living was much higher in his home country. He listed bread at $1.10 per loaf, milk at 90 cents per litre and gasoline at 90 cents per litre, but, ex- p'ected to climb to $1.10 per litre by the end of the year. The Austrian youth left this area Tuesday morning. On August 20 he will be meeting an uncle for further sightseeing in the western provinces before leaving for home on September 7. However, Boyle said that the matter should have been discussed with the police committee before the new crests were ordered. "I can cancel the rest if you want," Day said after noting they cost only $2.00 each and the supply of old crests on hand was almost depleted. However, Councillor Jay Campbell quickly ended the debate between the two men when he presented a motion authorizing the Chief to purchase the new crests, which bear the town crest in full color. The motion was approved by council. In his report of a recent police committee meeting, Campbell advised council that the police budget had been reviewed and in- dications were that ex- penditures to date were a little over budget. He said the main reason appeared to be in the amount of overtime and added that this had declined significantly in the past few weeks and the committee members were hopeful that they could end the year within the record $307.750 budget figure approved earlier. He also advised that Chief Day and Clerk Liz Bell had been asked to prepare a bylaw on the operation of motor trail bikes and that it would be presented for council's consideration in the "not too distant future." Statistics in the report for July given by Day were as follows: seven accidents with four injuries and property damage of $4,000, 15 drivers charged and 11 warned under the Highway Traffic Act, 10 chargesunder driven by Winnifred- AR 3 Dashwood, and Leslie Knight, Exeter, collided on Highway 83 just east of Dashvvood.

From the Rural Scene we quote: "The only sure foundation on which any truth can rest is' that those who reject it are free to attack it, and those , who accept it are free to defend it." Police Chief Ted Day had his fingers rapped by Mayor Derry Boyle, Tuesday, for ordering new crests without authorization from the police committee. After giving his monthly report, Day proudly produced a' sample of the new crests to be used on the police uniforms, advising council that he had checked through the records and found that the crest design had been changed every 10 years since 1940 and he was following that practice. the Liquor Licence Act, two places of business found insecure, 12 animal com- plaints with four owners being charged, eight thefts with $800 being stolen and none recovered, seven parking tickets issued, four break and enters with loot of $235 and one charge being laid, 10 incidents of wilful damage to public and private property with the damage totalling $1,137. There was one stolen car recovered, one investigation under the Narcotics Control Act, one impaired driver charged, one charged with driving under suspension, one mischief incident with two women being charged,, five counts of fraud with one man being charged in four of them. During the month, the officers recorded 38 hours of overtime. Irinnos-Advocote, August 1980 POI* Only four area collisions over holiday weekend Fines left to judges. In a letter to Exeter council this week, Attorney General Roy McMurtry said he believed it was necessary to correct an impression that he has any power to alter the level of fines set for provincial offences, or that the Provincial Offences Act has changed the set fines. He was responding to council's endorsement of a resolution from. Wingham regarding the level of fines for certain driving and liquor-related offences. The resolution decried the reduction recently approved in those fines. McMurtry explained that the Chief Judge made changes in the set fines as a matter of achieving some degree of uniformity so that in general, citizens will be treated the same way for the same offences throughout the province. However, he noted that any police officer who feels the set fines are not adequate penalty for any particular offence has the full and absolute right to issue a summons and have the matter brought to court where a higher fine can be imposed by a judge. The Exeter OPP report only four collisions, over the Civic Holiday weekend. None was of serious nature and only minor injuries were reported. The first of the holiday weekend crashes occurred on Friday when vehicles • 1, 4'
