Constable Burgess' father had been the Presbyterian minister at the South Kinloss Church 60 years ago. Constable Burgess gave a very informative talk and showed a video named "Alone". In 1950, one per cern of the drivers travelling alone were women. Today, 50 per cent of these drivers are women. A woman alone is a prime target for an attack, From the video, we learned many helpful things, such as: when you are going to a parked car, always hold your keys in Your hand; push the passenger seat as far ahead as it will go and lock the doors.. We should always travel witha full tank of gasoline: If the car malfunctions, stay in the car, ado not raise the hood; keep your win- dows closed, and put the sign 'Call Police' in the window. We should be in the habit of locking our car doors, and our house doors with a night chain. Many questions followed this video. Seventeen members answered the rollcall with "What factors contribute to crime and violence? Any 'solutions?" Ruth Langen conducted a contest on the names of places, towns or villages in Bruce County. A humorous 'tator' skit included Alice as commentator, Elsie as the dictator; Maimie as the irritator, Alice as the hesitator, June as the imitator, Gladys as the agitator, Marion as the spectator and Ruth as the participator. 50th Anniversary II)t' c hihlrcln of Margargt & Harry'Swan wish to invite friends and family to attend an Open House in their parents honour on Saturday, November 26, 1994 at The Mackay Centre from 2:00.pm to 4:00 pm Best Wishes billy Please Joan Martin presented Elizabeth Dickie with the Beatty Ladder trophy and a memento forhe highest number of points in t e Spring Flower Show.
