Phone 887-6677 Walton Sports Club holds cash draw Lightning is thought to be the cause of a fire that destroyed a barn on the farm of Ken Shortreed just west of Walton Sunday night. About 5,000 bales of hay were lost in the blaze which was out of control by the time Blyth Fire Department arrived. The Walton Area Sports Club held their monthly meeting Thurs­ day evening, July 5 when the draws were made for the cash prizes. Harvey Craig drew for the first prize of $100, won by Marie Muegge of Seaforth. Margaret Craig drew the second ticket of $25 won by Yvonne Cronin, RR 1, Blyth and Marion Godkin drew the third WI members to tour Royal Homes For their Canadian Industries meeting Walton W.I. members have planned a car tour. They plan to tour the Royal Homes, Wingham and lunch at Bluevale than to the Doll House in Wroxeter. Institute members are to be at the hall by 9:30 a.m. ticket, when Elsie Walsh of Blyth also won $25. The club thanks all those that purchased tickets in support of the local ball. The club held a very successful fish pond at the Funfest in Brussels on Saturday. Plans were made for the ladies tournament this coming weekend. Saturday, July 14, games will be played by the Trail Blazers with the tournament for that club in Brus­ sels. In August they plan to have a squirt tournament. Sober drivers rewarded by program For years, police departments and others have advised people not to drink and drive. Recent statistics indicate that the majority of drivers are responsible citizens who do not drink and drive. Unfortunately, many motorists in the county are still being charged with impaired driving while others continue to receive a warning. The More Sober Drivers Pro­ gram is an innovative positive approach combining three ele-- ments to reinforce sober driving. At spot checks, sober drivers will be given a licence holder with “Thanks for being a Sober Driver" imprinted on it to thank them for their behaviour. Drivers, who re­ ceive warnings will be given a 12-hour suspension and pamphlets to encourage sober driving. A community wide media campaign will be used to promote public awareness of public spotchecks and the value of sober driving. Research has shown the best way to influence behaviour is to blend policy with education. This pro­ gram has both components, and the folders which serve as a reward, link the policy of spot checks and the education of the media campaign together. The More Sober Drivers Pro­ gram is a good way to get the community involved and behind the spotcheck program. Represen­ tation comes from Police Depart­ ments, The Huron Addiction Assessment and Referral Centre (HAARC), The Addiction Research Foundation, CKNX Radio, local newspapers and community in­ volvement. The program which has been planned by HAARC began on the long weekend.
