Auburn 4H club puts
'Best Foot Forward"
BY CHERI KRYZANOWSKI
One of the most important things
in life is having proper manners.
By the time the latest Auburn 4H
project, “Your Best Foot Forward”
is finished, the 13 members hope to
all have mastered etiquette.
The first meeting of the club was
held on March 21 at the Auburn
Library. The leaders, Mrs. Lapp
and Mrs. Archambault began the
meeting with the 4H pledge and
then opened the floor for executive
nominations. Pauline Huizinga
claimed victory in the president
category, with Erin Hickey, a close
second making her vice-president.
Suzanne Schultz is the new secre
tary and Cheri Kryzanowski is
filling the position of press report
er.
Meeting one had the theme of
etiquette at home - telephone
manners, family meals, do’s and
don’ts of eating, and general
guidelines to follow. Meeting one
was closed with the 4H motto,
‘Learn to Do by Doing’.
On March 26, meeting two was
held at the Auburn Library. After
the pledge and general business,
the members worked in their
books. Each member filled out a
quiz on how considerate they were.
Results were not available. Next on
the agenda was the proper way of
introducing people, proper invita
tions, replies, and thank yous, and
what to say to people who have
suffered a loss.
After the motto, the members
headed for the Clinton Public
Hospital where we went on a tour
of the entire hospital, including
therapy where some members re
ceived a soothing hot wax treat
ment, the maternity ward, (unfor
tunately there were no babies), the
emergencies and x-ray rooms, and
the cafeteria. The members extend
a warm thank you to the staff at the
Clinton Public Hospital and also to
the leaders and parents who chauf-
fered them to and from the
hospital. The members went home
with one thought in mind, “The
supreme test of good manners is to
put up with bad ones pleasantly.”

Blyth man appeals conviction
A Blyth man was convicted in
provincial court in Wingham Wed
nesday of driving with more than
80 mg. of alcohol in 100 ml. of
blood but his lawyer indicated he
will appeal the conviction.
Daniel N. McDougall of Queen
St. N. in Blyth was convicted after
charges were laid on July 6, 1989 in
Blyth. Constable Larry Yuen of
Wingham detachment of the
Ontario Provincial Police told the
court he had been patrolling in
Blyth at about 11:10 p.m. that night
when he came to the corner of
Drummond and Queen Streets and
saw a car driven by Mr. McDougall
pass the corner, headed north on
Queen Street. He said he could see
the driver was not wearing his seat
belt from the shoulder harness
hanging loosely and stopped the
car. He smelled the odor of alcohol
and gave an Alert test which Mr.
McDougall failed. Mr. McDougall
was taken to the Wingham detach
ment to be given a breath test and
Constable Yuen said, was given his
rights to call a lawyer. Mr. McDou
gall’s father arrived and the two
talked in private, then the younger
Mr. McDougall asked to talk to his
lawyer by phone. In the two
subsequent tests Mr. McDougall
scored higher than the allowable
limit on both.
Defence Attorney Glen Carey,
suggested in his cross examination
that Constable Yuen hadn’t been
able to see the seat belt undone in
the split second the car passed in
front of him on Queen Street and
that he had stopped Mr. McDou
gall randomly and only mentioned
the seat belt violation afterward.
Constable Yuen said he had stopp
ed other vehicles that evening,
some Highway Traffic Act viola
tions and some for random checks.
Mr. Carey called no witnesses
himself but argued before Judge
R.G.E. Hunter on several points of
law that he said violated his client’s
rights under the Charter of Rights.
He argued his client should have
been given his right to counsel
before he was given the roadside
test, not only after he had failed it.
There have been conflicting deci
sions on this argument in other
courts in Ontario and Prince Ed
ward Island. He also said that when
Constable Yuen issued a 12-hour
driver’s licence suspension that
said he had more than 50 mg. of
alcohol to 100 ml. of blood, he was
giving conflicting evidence to the
charge that he had over 80 mg. in
the breath test.
Judge Hunter didn’t buy any of
the arguments but said Mr. Carey
was welcome to appeal his deci
sion. He suspended Mr. McDou
gall’s licence for 12 months and
fined him $750. Mr. Carey said this
week he will appeal the conviction.
A Dungannon man also lost his
licence for 12 months and was fined
$750 for drunk driving. Gregor
Andress of Joseph St., Dungannon
was stopped by O.P.P. on Highway
4 when his car crossed the centre
line several times. He told police he
didn’t know what he was doing on
Highway 4 because he had left
Lucknow headed for Dungannon.
But Judge Hunter refused to
accept a guilty plea from a Kitchen
er man stopped on a drunk driving
charge. Fred Oram Herd had been
charged after failing a roadside test
on Hwy. 4. But the fact of the case
read in court was that Mr. Herd
was out of the car when police
arrived. Judge Hunter advised Mr.
Herd to get a lawyer because there
might be a case to be argued that
there was no proof Mr. Herd was
driving the car.
