Centre warned on
underage drinking
The South Huron rec centre
board of management have
received a warning from the
Exeter police department to
avoid further incidents of
staged at the 'hall. u1f does
The warning came from -
Chief Ted Day in response to
investigation into a complaint
received following a dance
held at the hall on December
10 by the Exeter Hawks.
If was reported to police
that a number of 15 and
16 -year-olds were served li-
quor at the dance, mainly by
their older friends, and "some
became intoxicated to the ex-
tent of being sick."
Chief Day reminded the
board that the Liquor Act
places the onus on the permit
holder and the management
where the functionis held to
ensure that nn one under 19 is
served alcoholic beverages. it
was also noted that it is an of-
fence to be. intoxicated in a
public place.
Day said police will step up
their surveillance of dances in
the future and that further in-
fractions will result in the Li-
quor Control Board being
notified.
This could put the rec cen-
tre and hall renters in jeopar-
dy of receiving liquor permits
for any functions in the
facility.
At their meeting, Thursday,
board members suggested
that the staff let the police'
know when functions are tak-
ing place at the rec centre
where young people may be in
attendance. These include
events staged by the hawks
or Junior Farmers, etc.
The board directed that a
copy,ofthe letter from the
police be sent to the junior
hockey team management
and that it be shown to alt per-
mit holders- in the future,
along with an explanation of
the importance 'of checking
proof of age at social events.
It.was also agreed that hall
supervisors hired ' by the
board should watch for
underage drinkers.

..meeting,, the •hoard alas _ap

been issued for the arrest of
a suspect in the rash of
breakins that occurred in
Main St. retail outlets last

Entry was gained at four

Cardiff hopes
vote positive
Huron -Bruce MP Murray,
Cardiff, speaking from his Ot-
tawa office, voiced some of
his thoughts before leaving
for the Progressive Conser-
vative national convention be-
ing held in Winnipeg this
week.
Referring to widespread
speculation about leader. Joe
Clark's stature within his par-
ty, Cardiff said the party's
present constitution calls for
a leadership review every two
.years.
Cardiff said probably the
leadership should be examin-
ed up to a year after a general
election, when emotions have
cooled, and added it is not fair
. to any leader to have to con-
stantly "look over his
shoulder". However,. that
would require changes to the
PC constitution.
Operating under present
rules, all delegates will have
the opportunity to vote for or
ageing -a leadership review: -
"I hope the result is very
decisive one way or the other.
A cliff-hanger solves
nothing", Cardiff said.
In his opinion, affirmation
of Clark's continued leader-
ship would be more than the
66 percent support the party
head received two years ago.
"I can't predict what will
happen. I'm happy to let the
delegates go to Winnipeg and
make their choice. I. would
like to see this put to rest so
the Conservatives can con-
centrate on policies to
demonstrate we can govern
this country. My delegates
are all capable people,
capable of making their own
decisions." the MP
remarked.
Cardiff will head the
delegation from thbs riding.

nett, Wingham, Ken Camp-
bell, Seaforth, Dr. Tom
Jasper, Goderich, Barry
