Too many officers, in times past, have conscientiously determined to clear up a situation of this kind, only to ',find that they had the support of the council just to the point where a ' friend or a friend's son was con- cerned, At its meeting last week, how- `ever; the town council expressed un- animous agreement with plans for a campaign which will include the in- stallation of radar equipment to pro- vide proof of the speed of cars before charges are laid. !A few convictions and fines will speedily alter the atti- tude of the retnainder of the Offend- , There have been times in recent weeks . when the main' street of Wingham offered more hazards for the careful driver than Yonge Street in Toronto ever did at its worst. In a town the size of ours the safe con duct of traffic is largely dependent upon the care,and sanity With which Motor vehicles' are Operated. We do not have traffic lights ,o'r 'constables DEADLINES ARE NECESSARY Periodically we have to remind readers and advertisers who enjoy the services of this newspaper of the unusually early deadlines set for both advertising and news copy. ACcustorned, as you are in `Wing- ham, to the local paper appearing on Wednesday morning each week, you are perhaps not aware that there are • only a few papers in Western On- tario which are—publiShed as early -in the week as this one. Practically all other weekly papers go to press on either Wednesday evening or Thursday morning. nor- this reason we are fbrced to. .ask for- all types of copy somewhat ahead , of time. In order to avoid this extra pressure on advertisers and news contributors we have occa- Sionally suggested that they might prefer to have - The Advance-Times appear a day later each week. How- ever • that is not a popular -sugges- tion, so we have no' alternative but to ask your co.Toperation, The staff of your:newspaper has been expanded tO ' Permit the hand- ling of a maximum amount of copy in" the Shortest possible time, .but it is still necessary to receive copy in advance, particularly since •the full Saturday holiday has become uni- . versal for' newspaper staffs. Facilities in the local printing plant have been considerably ot- panded during the past six years and many of our readers will perhaps be surprised to learn that not one news- paper, but two are produced each week in Winghatn. The weekly Mildmay Gazette goes into produc- tion each Wednesday morning, 'so there is little time for .resting on the oars with. the completion of our Own paper. 'Another department in the plant 16 now operated for the production of plastic printing plates, from ' which the pictures in many neigh- bouring weeklies are Sprinted, 'This operation includes the maintenance of a complete PhotograPhic depart- , rent and dark room, Engraving of the plates is done on a Cerman-made electronic scanner,' of which there Aft only a few ht this section of` Western Ontario, "C The Witigham Advance-limes otiviolied at Winghata, Ontario leveagat tfrotlrere Iyubllslherii, , W. tatty itditat Miniber Audit Bai-eau Clretilation Authorised as 'Sedeii& data' Nisi!, POSE Oftiok :Dept. itifiectiPtitM Itnte One tear $3,titi, Sig %torah/ flIid in aditatice s.

The chief 'Sdutie, as an example, range from the an- swering of complaints about 'dogs on the loose to the inspecling of prop- _erties for building permits. He sim- ply can't be everywhere at once. Council's recognition of the - ser- iousness of the traffic sit-nation will encourage some sharpening of the teeth of the law for the betterment of the community in which we live. • GREAT CHANCE ,FOR • PARK'S There are few towns in :Western' Ontario so gifted by Nature as our own. 'Being virtually:surrounded by the- branches of the Maitland River, every' approach to Wingham takes the traveller - over this beautiful' stream at some'point. So far we have done little to take advantage of all this natural beauty. ' Bob Galbraith and other -older residents have often told us of the grand old days when there were dozens of canoes on the Maitland. The trip back to First Bush and• other picnic spots is still remember- ed by those who can recall when the river carried enough water to make boating possible. In order to see for ourselves we attempted the trip from frowson's dam 'to First Bush -one evening last week, but found that even our shallow draft pram ground- ed not far above the ,CPR bridge. Water is low this year, of course, but the present condition of the dam will not permit anything but loW levels at the best of times. As a re- sult rotting underwater vegetation fouls the air and the water itself has already become stagnant. : Improving these conditions is an ' expensive and time-consuming task — one from whiCh any elected coun- cil will no doubt shrink as they eye the already high budget for schools, hospitals and other, necessities of community life. Improvements to the river verges could, however, be viewed as some- thing more than a tremendously ex-' pensive 'luxury. In, this town we are most keenly cOnscions of the need for industrial growth, and it is quite surprising how strongly the parks and beauty spots, are considered when industrialists are contemplat- ing the opening of a new branch.,To- day the happiness of the working man and his family, is considered'of paramount importance. It is likely that before too long theproperty n Ow occupied within the town by the Canadian Pacific Railway will become vacant and as a ,.result a beautiful strip of river bank from a point east of the ' McKenzie bridge right around to Victoria Street on the south will be available for beautification. The eventual re- moval of the trestle bridge ,on which the CI' trainsnow enter the terWil will -add new attractiveness to the upper pond. • If you want' to think far enough ahead, jtlit imagine howl spectacular the southern approach to the town would be if the present prairie could be acquired and 'a low dam placed across' the Maitland ,in Lower Town to form a lake at tie highwaS7. What an indelible impression vis- itors -to the town wotild receive, Many of tilde plans must remain dreams at the moment but Wing-, ham, we hope, will a be pleasant and busy place for many hundreds of years, Is it too early to Took into the future and 'take the initial 'step? Before 'long we should get some ad- vice from A reputable outdOor planner who has the knowledge and -vision to provide guidance, Within the next twenty years we could do wonders With Wingliam.
