Three weeks ago, Bill -and Marie, ark, of Dungannon decided that they wanted •to know more about what was being dene about the new • seat belt legislation. They invited those they kneW were interested to meet at' their home. Out of •this Meeting has grown a civil rights o'rganization "Citizens Protection , Association fiuron Chaper #1". ' On Thtirsday, March 4th,. at F. E. Madill Secondary School audi- torium in Wingham, the CPAHC #1 sponsored, a public meeting. Al.: though .poor weather conditions existe4', a turnout of about 175 heard guest speakers. Among guest speakers were: • Mr, and Imrs., Dave Mitchell of Niagara Falls. ' Mr. Mitchell is director of the head office of the C.P.A. • • Donald Hanna and Alf Hanna, both of Guelph. Karen Hepinstall of Elora who originated the seat belt petitions circulating in the area. Eric Biggins of • Meaford, who • recently ,spent 3 days in jail rather than pay a fine for not.buckling up. M.P. Murray Gaunt was unable to attend due to ill health. Mr. Gaunt 'contacted M.P. Jack Riddell at the last minute and asked him to attend in his place, but Mr. Riddell was ' unable to attend because of prior commitments. ° The meeting was called to order by Brian Hallman who welcomed the guest speakers and everyone present. He then spoke on the reason ' for the gatheritig. Brian. introduced the executive for Huron Chapter #I and then called on chairMan Marvin Scott. Mr. Scott explained the , meaning of the C.P.A. and its purpose. He called on. Ray' Hanna. Mr. Hanna explained, the seat belt petitions. and the fact that they are not against', seat belts.- as a ,safety, feattire, but against the legislation. It' is an infringement on pur civil rights for goVernment to order us to buckle up. 'Mr. Hanna introduced' Karen Hepinstall and then presented her. with all full petitions which, contain over 4;000 names against the legislation. These will be added to, over 100,000 names already on file at the Niagara Falls office of Dave Mitchell. Karen expressed her thanks. There are still many petitions circulating through the" area. , Ray then called on Eric Biggins. Mr. Biggins' feelings on the subject ate very strong. He recently spent 3 , days in jail to protest rather than pay a fine for not,buckling up. He is ready to go to jail ".as often as it, tikes to open our governments eyes. . Ray introduced Garry Peitreck who gave his feelings on the subject. He then introduced Dave Mitchell who gave his reasons for forming •the C.P.A. at Niagara Falls: A letter from M.P. Steven Lewis was read noting the amend- ment to the seat • belt legislation which says:taxi drivers do not have to buckle up while carrying a fare for reasons of personal safety connected with the crime, rate involving taxi drivers. This amendment was brought by direct pressure by the taxi drivers of-the;:city, of 'Toronto. ' • It was brought to the attention of the meeting that police officers do not have, to buckle up when driving at speeds under 25 m.p.h.' A law is a law. A law is supposed to be for everyone, Ray Hanna led a question, and .answer period, The questions• being answered by those , present best qualified to do so. The question of gun control owas brought up by E. B. Jenkins of Winghain. • . Seat belts can save lives but they can also in the right circumstances take a life. Can the government guarantee that your accident will be one or. the' other? , Hitler thought he, could tell people• when, where' and how they Should live. Men • and women died to prove his way was wrong, Hitler tried to take away the rights of the people, and we fought and died for our rights and the rights of others to remain free in democratic cQuniries. ' Now our* own govern- me:nt is trying to do the same thing. It is only a seat belt now. But .what is next?, • Cigarettes are bad for your , health. • Ban ' them? -Alcohol is detramental to health and road safety. Ban it? Polution is ,bad. Shut down the factories causing it? Overweight causes heart attacks. Ban all, food not good for us?' Where does it 'stop? The meeting was called to a close by Brian Hallntan. At a table set up near the door by Ramona Humphrey, Marie 'Park' and Lynn Wall, memberships to the C.P.A. Huron Chapter #1 were taken and bumper stickers given out, for a donation. Donations will be used to help defray costs. ' A meeting for members was held at the home of Marvin. Scott on March 10th at 8.30 p.m. As a 'follow up 'to that osage orange fruit found by Mrs. Ross Cayley of the Holyrood-Teeswater area.and 'recently described in the paper, Mrs. Helen Henderson, one of the science teachers 'at the Ripley District High School, copied the following information in the school library: / The botanical 'Classification is as follows - family .Moraceae (which means in English it belongs to the Mulberry family), then the genus is Maclura and species is M. potnifera (which also in English it looks like an apple). This tree or bush or shrub is found in Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. The fruit is large, yellowish. green and looks like an orange. It is inedible. Themood, knOwn as bourwood or boil dd'arc - is hard, strong, flexible, durable and yellow in • colour. It was used by the . Osage Indians for bows and arrows' and War clubs (used for smashing • enemy heads). They also used the trees as , living fence posts around their farms.. .41 The short trunk,* crooked branches, thorny twigs and long pointed . leaves made it especially suitable for this purpose. It has a milky bitter sap. It is now"' used for railway ties, fence posts and wagon wheels. The wood yields a yellow dye. Thanks Mrs. Henderson. tut don't let the book fool us here "the fruit' is green, hard maybe like an orange inside. THIS WEEK CONTINUED FROM PAGE 16 was in. the Automotive building at the C.N.E.
