In spite of the increase in crime
during the year, the report stated
that Wingham's record has always
been amongst the best in the proyince,'
"due to the very excellent type of
citizens in .this community." The re-
port said that in altiost all cases of
people charged under sections of the
Criminal Code, it has been noted that
persons were not citizens Of this town.
During the past year Wingham
pollee officers investigated 386 cotn-
plaiiite, mostly of a minor action, and
very few required police action, Four
Persons were convicted for the three
eases of breaking, entering and theft

occasion the culprits were arrested
and sentendedwithin twenty-four
hours of the commission of the crime
In his report Chief Platt paid high --
tribute to the work of the officers on
the department, and reported that no
time had been lest by police officers
due to illness during the Past Yea.r.

MIXED REACTION TO
SATURDAY CLOSING
Wirigharres open Friday night, bold
for the first time last week, met with
a mixed reception from the merchants
of. main street, with many of them
doubtful Whether it would be possible
to tell, this early in the gable, if the
new' closing hours are meeting the
approval of the customers.
Of ten businesses contacted, three
reported that their business was down,
and attributed the slump to the new
closing hours. Three admitted that
business was not good, but said that
the weather and the time of year
,Might have been coetributing factors.
Four claimed that business over the
Friday and Saturday was comparable
to the same time last year; and were
of the opinion that the new closing
hours are working out all right.
All of the merchants admitted that
it was too early to tell as yet what
would betheultimate effect of tne
new closing hours.
Complaints from the customers
,about the Saturday night closing were
fewer than expected, and eeveral of
the store -keepers reported customers
ae saying they were in favor of the
Move.
Only Business Olnin
Apart from places of entertaininent,
the only business open on Saturday
eight was MacIntyre's Bakery. Jack
MacIntyre, preprietor of the snop,
said he stayed open to enable cus-
tomers who hed ordered baked goods
earlier in the day to pick up their
petal -lases,
