"A total of 37 general occurrences were investigated. One dr iving licence suspension of 12 hours was issued along with 60 charges under the Highway Traffic Act and three liquor related offences. A number of road signs have been disappearing in Hay and Usborne townships. Police do not look upon these acts as a school prank as it could lead to an accident resulting in injury or death. Seatbelt usage is continuing to be enforced and parents are especially reminded to buckle their children up. Seatbelts do save lives and our children are precious. Citizens are encouraged to report suspicious persons and vehicles. It is better to investigate and find everything in order, or perhaps stop a crime before it happens than one where a crime has happened and somebody saw something but did not report it.

Citing the additions made to the hardball diamond by Co-op Juniors manager Brad Gregus for the Junior D tournament Labour Day weekend, Rec Board chairman Jim Workman said that steps would be taken to in- sure open lines of communication bet- ween the board and Gregus. Gregus built a score board and a score box for the Junior D tourna- ment without seeking official ap- proval from the rec board. While the board noted that the score board Presented no real problem they SAW CHAIN BAR OIL 4 L.

Questions of safety and liability were raised concerning the box. The board praised Gregus for his contributions to the ball park, but that he should follow proper channels. Members agreed that the score box must be removed no later than .Oc- tober I and have requested that Gregus meet with the board to discuss the fate of the score board. Workman said that Gregus's un - sanctioned actions put the Rec board in an uncomfortable situation because by removing what is already there, the board looks unreasonable. "We always end up looking stupid because we always look like the bad guy," Workman told the hoard. CHRISTINE GOULD Extate Realty Science Show to be at Fair Remember, how much fun you had at a circus side show, well there is a Science Side Show coming to town and not only is it fun, it's informative for all ages. The Ontario Science Centre Side Show will be at the Exeter Fall Fair • on Friday evening, Saturday and Sun- day, September 25, 26 and 27 with 10-12 exhibits and activities to delight visitors, whether they be eight -year- olds or 80 -year-olds. See George, the life size torso, check out his insides and see if you have trouble putting him back together again. You can pedal a bicy- cle to make electricity. This device lets you convert mlrs- cle energy into mechanical electrical and light energy. Other activities and exhibits include, change your voice, the study of the super cold, cryogenics, puzzles, illusions, skill tests and lots more. Another feature which adds to the personal quality of the Science Side Show is the accessability of the train- ed cadre of two Science Centre hgsts. These busy people are many things rolled into one: guide, teacher, scien- tist and entertainer. Visitors to the Science Side Show first have fun and then get educated, so they get a sence that science can be fun as well as serious - and not scary. Many teachers feel that the ac- tivities help develop a positive at- titude toward science and technology. Busy voices and busier hands can be pushing this knob and pushing that button. Excited faces, young and old, will be peering into boxes and cylinders. The immediacy of pushing a button and having something hap- pen, makes the experience more meaningful and real. The key to the Science Side Show is to get involved in the many ingenious devices that make up the activity areas, that are. designed to pique curiosity and invite participation. There will be 800 square feet of ac- tivity areas located above the seating area in the Rec Centre at the fair. Young and old are encouraged to have fun while re -discovering science, Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday, as part of the Exeter Fall • GICs 30-69 days 8.25%* 90-269 days 8.75%* 270:364 days9.00%* Very competitive rates for 1 to 5 year term. • All rotes subject to change without notice.
