United Church’s Children’s Shopping Spreeon Saturday afternoon. There was an excellent selection
of inexpensive gifts for youngsters to buy and Mom and Dad could sit and relax with coffee and
goodies while they waited for the kids to finish shopping.
Helping out
Swinging
Seniors
entertain
at Huronview
About 20 Swinging Seniors from
Biyth journeyed down to Huron
view on Dec. 12 to help them
celebrate their December birthdays
and to bring them some entertain
ment.
President, John Hesselwood wel
comed everyone and called on
guests, Don and Mary Vair from
Belgrave. Don opened with a poem
entitled “Hugs” and then thrilled
everyone with his skills at the
piano. He entertained with several
Christmas Carols with everyone
joining in the singing. His wife
Mary read several lovely poems.
They finished their part of the
program by singing two beautiful
duets.
Four gentlemen from Biyth took
over the second half. They were
Jim Lawrie, Lloyd Walden, Millar
Richmond and Harvey McDowell
with Ella Richmond at the piano.
They supplied many toe-tapping
tunes and ended with the quartette
singing “Silent Night” and “We
Wish You a Merry Christmas”.
John closed the meeting and a
delicious lunch of cookies, squares
and tea were served to the resi
dents by the Biyth ladies.
Biyth Lions President Steve Howson (right) presents a donation
from the club to Murray Musty, chairman of the board of the
Biyth and District Community Centre. The Lions gave $5,000
toward the purchase of a new tractor to run the arena flooder
and $8,000 toward the installation of steel about the outside of
the building.
At Christmas,
little things mean a lot.

“The public does have a better
attitude about spot checks, now,”
said Const. Sabin. “Often people
will thank us when we stop them
for keeping drunk drivers off the
road.”
He says that people are car
pooling and taking buses when
they party now because they are
coming to realize that the only
guarantee is a sober driver. “There
is nothing a person can do to sober
up once they have had to much to
drink. Time is the only factor. Food
will slow down the absorption of
the alcohol but then it just takes
longer to dissipate,” he said.
The host has a responsibility as
well to see that people don’t drink
too much. There can be no criminal
action taken against them should
an accident happen as the result of
someone having had too much to
drink at their home, but a civil
action can be brought against
them. If there is no other way to
stop someone from getting in a car,
when you know they shouldn’t, the
officers agreed that the host should
feel no remorse in notifying the
police and asking them to get the
driver off the road. “We will
probably, in a situation like that,
just make sure they get home. I
think the host in this instance
should be commended for being
very responsible,” said Const.
Scott.
“The good news is the days of
the falling-down drunk are dimin
ishing greatly,” he said. “Very
seldom do we see someone in that
bad a shape anymore. The majority
of people blow warnings now.”
“The best way to judge is if you
have to think about it,” added
Const. Sabin. “I you have to think
about whether or not you’re alright
to drive v you’re probably not.”
