People are against sin anyway, so why harp on if Traffic Lights Should be turned off at dangerous intersections to save electricity. Everybody knows it's a dangerous spot and thot is sufficient. Police Should stop driving up and down the highways. No need to caution drivers by patrolling highways. Drivers know the law and obey it. Teachers Shouldn't review lessons. Tell children just once and they'll never forget it. BUT If you are one of the foolish kind like the Notre Dame Cathedral that has stood for six centuries but continues to ring the bell every day to let people know it is still there- and .believe in continuous profitable advertising, then your advertising belongs in - Mrs. Gwen Pemberton was in Port Hope last week for a visit with her grandson Martin and his parents Eric and Phil Pemberton, the occasion being the Trinity College School's per- formance of Agatha Christie's "The Mousetrap", where Martin attends. Mr. and Mrs. Earl Martin of Detroit were at their cottage in Bayfield over the weekend.
