Licence fees have changed and now a resident must pay $20 for a moose -bear licence $15 for a deer -bear licence and $5 for a small game and bird licence. The licence to hunt rac- coons at -night is also $5 and remember that to use this licence you must be ac- companied by a dog licenced for raccoon hunting. To obtain a licence you - must produce previous proof of hunting experience (an old hunting licence) or a cer- tificate indicating success in passing the Ontario Hunting Licence Examination. Anyone under the age of 20 is required to complete the Ministry of Natural Resources hunter safety course before writing this exam and it is recommended for all new hunters. There will be a course offered in Exeter within the next two weeks so watch the notices in the TA for further rough information. canvas.

A favorite at the mini courses is the swinging pole hole. This is always a tricky shot, and much of the action depends on the pole swinger. All three of the courses provide 18 holes of fun.

Play Centre costs 75 for adults and only 60 for children in the afternoons. Putters and balls are provided at the courses. For those who take their golfing a little more seriously, Grand Bend has its own attractive Three Par Course. This nine hole course is just north of the village, and covers about four acres. A small creek runs through, and trees abound in the pretty wooded area. Owner Morley Sanders says the course keeps him busy during the summer. It requires all the same at- tention given to a big golf course - irrigation, and special treatment for the lush greens. "It's just a hobby, I'm not in it for the business." Sanders says. Sanders is a retired school teacher. Sanders charges $1.25 to go on the course, and clubs and balls can be rented. Once you've practised your strokes you can con- tinue your workout across the road at the driving range. Loraine Engel along with her daughters Elise and Sheila look after the driving range. You get 36 balls in a bucket for $1.00. -The Engels say they have many regular customers who come to the driving range for practise before they go on the , big .course. Or many people come just for the exercise of hitting a bucket of balls. The Engels keep busy mowing the grassy area of the driving range, and picking up balls. A small garden tractor pulls a machine which automatically picks up the mounds of yellow golf balls. For those that the machine misses. the Engels use a tube to pick up stray balls. This prevents the work from becoming back -breaking. So at last you're ready - you've putted on the minis. swung on the three par: -Ink: driven on the range. Now it's time for the big course.

The readers write Dear Editor: In concern for person's lives and personal safety, I would like to inform the people of Huron County just what is happening on our highways (which involves every road the public has access to including gravel roads). On the a rural highways of Huron County alone (not including town streets) there have been 544 accidents investigated by the Ontario Provincial Police for the seven month period ending 31 July 79. Last year for the same area and the same seven month period 481 accidents were investigated by the Ontario Provincial Police, - which I believe should alarm any driver with common sense. Out of the total number of accidents for the seven month period ending .31 July 78 there were 12 persons killed in this county. Out of the total number of accidents for the seven month period ending 31 July of this year there were 15 persons killed in this county. Approximately half of the accidents involve one car running off the road and turning over or striking something. There are many reasons such as: Speed too fast, inexperience, inat- tention, alcohol etc. In multi - car accidents all of these plus following too -close, improper turns and fail to stop where required, are all responsible for accidents. To help reduce this dramatic increase in ac- cidents, radar will be used more extensively in Huron County. The Huron County Court in its desire to curb accidents has increased the speeding fines. Also, since liquor abuse plays such a role in Huron County the Court has set no out-of-court sQ,t- tlement for minors charged with liquor offences, and raised the fines from $54.00 to $104.00 including costs for those of age. All O.P.P. Detachments in Huron County are ex- periencidng increased liquor violations and some over 100 percent increases from last year at this time. The Ontario Provincial Police are definitely thinking of your safety and are en- forcing YOUR laws to PROTECT YOU. If you are the type of person who only thinks of the money angle, .the new fine system should encourage you to abide by your laws. for example, if you are driving with open beer in your car and driving 120 km in an 80 km -zone your fine would be $100.00 plus $4.00 cost for the liquor and $100.00 plus $3.00 costs for speeding, totalling $207.00, plus six demerit points against your licence. Driving is a full time job. Drinking liquor is for relaxation. Drive and play safe. R.W. Wilson Prov. Const Community Services Officer 1 t Times -Advocate.
