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.” People in Auburn Sympathy is extended to Jean Andrews and family on the death of her husband Warner who passed away in Clinton Hospital on Thurs­ day, March 29 in his 84th year. Sorry to report that Mrs. Keith Machan is a patient in Alexandra Marine and General Hospital, Goderich. She is wished a speedy recovery. Greg and Nancy Park visited their friends Charles and Glenis Liptrot in Calgary and then toured to Banff, Jasper and Edmonton recently. Get well wishes go to Mr. Gordon Powell who is a patient in Alexandra Marine and General Hospital. Mrs. Tom Jardin is visiting her sister Annie Robertson in Meaford for a week. New health cards coming Starting this spring, new indivi­ dual health numbers, on plastic cards, will be provided to every bona fide reisdent of Ontario, Health Minister Elinor Caplan announced today. Health coverage, including Ontario Drug Benefits, will remain the same, but everyone will even­ tually need the new health card with its 10-digit number, as old OHIP paper cards and numbers are phased out. GREY&MORRISFEDERATIONSOF AGRICULTURE ANNUAL MEETING WEDNESDAY APRIL11,1990 B.M.&G. COMMUNITY CENTRE, BRUSSELS GUEST SPEAKER: BRIGID PYKE PresidentO.F.A. DINNER 12:30 P.M.-TICKETS S8.00/PERSON Keith Williamson Allan Cardiff 887-6587 887-6960 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. CHELTON AG CENTRE Adult Dog Chow 9A 5020 KG.
