Through -the other weeklies
• St. Marys could be left off
the beaten track if Grey
Coach makes a final decision
to cut its bus line from
Stratford to London.
According to last week's St.
Marys' 'Journal -Argus, Grey
Coach claims the cut is
necessary to offset loss of ,
profits on its two major lines
from Toronto to Sudbury and
,from Toronto to Buffalo due
to competition from
Greyhound Bus Lines.
St. Marys council is
planning to send a letter to
the Ontario Highway Tran-
sport Board asking that it
rescind an earlier order
allowing the U.S. - owned
Greyhound lines to compete
with Grey coach on the two
profitable lines, in an attempt
, to retain bus service for St.
Marys.
The Highway Transport
Board allowed Greyhound to
enter the Ontario market to
create better service through
increased competition in the
bus line industry.
A new 14 -unit senior
citizens' apartment building,
slated to go up this spring,
appears to fall short of
meeting the needs of senior
citizens in Seaforth. The
Seaforth Huron Expositor
reports the Ontario Housing
Corporation has 43 ap-
plications for senior citizens'
housing on file, some going
back as far as two years. A
survey to be carried out in the
town and the surrounding
townships to measure the
area's need for housing could
influence the construction of
.another building, according
to Seaforth Mayor Betty
Cardno.
The exceptionally poor
condition of Exeter's dump in
Hay Township came under
scathing criticism again
following a recent inspection
by the Ministry of the
Environment. The report
poor -mouthed the -site's
housekeeping, number of
dumping areas, segregation
of refuse, control of litter and
control of access to the
facility, says last week's
Exeter Times -Advocate.
Regular burning at the
dump was also criticized
following previous ministry
warnings that burning was
not allowed.
Ontario Provincial Police
are seeking help from
Listowel area, residents as
they investigate the murder
of a 46 -year-old RR 3,
Listowel woman. A story in
the Listowel Banner tells of
Bernice Margaret Stewart,
who was found in her ear a
half mile south of Listowel,
with a broken neck. Police
say the body was beaten with
fists or a blunt instrument
and was partly burned. Mrs.
Stewart was last seen at the
Twin Gables' Hotel in
Listowel. Anyone who may
have seen the Stewart car a
week ago Sunday, is aSked to
contact the OPP.
Four Goderich residents
jumped to safety last week
during a .$120,000 fire which
destroyed their second storey
apartments. The fire gutted
the O'Brien building on the
Square in Qoderich,
destroying O'Brien's Meat
Market and La Boiliique, and
the apartments located above
both shops, reports last
week's Goderich Signal -Star.
David Young, one- of the
apartments residents, broke
both his feet as he jumped out
the second storey window to
the street below., No cause
has yet been established in
the fire.
Elsewhere in the Signal -
Star, a story tells of council's
7-1 vote to widen Highway 21
south in Goderich. The
million dollar project, which
will expand the highway to
four lanes, is expected to end
traffic tie ups that have some
motorists lined up waiting 30
minutes to make turns off the
highway, according to town
Councillor John Doherty.
Mitchell town council has
passed a bylaw covering the
duties and responsibilities of
a chief, constable and police
committee, reports the
Mitchell Adv'ocate, following
an investigation by the
Ontario Police Commission.
The investigation followed
the resignations of two police
constables, one of whom has
since been rehired. A similar
police bylaw recom-
mendation by the OPC
followed an investigation in
the spring of 1976 but went
ignored by council.
Last week's Advocate also
carries a story on presen-
tation made to- town skaters
Lorri and Sherri Baier,and
Lorri's skating partner Lloyd
Eisler of Seaforth. Lorri and
Lloyd both 13, took the
Canadian Pairs Cham-
pionship in Calgary recently.
Although Sherri's back injury
failed to return her and
partner Robin Cowan as the
Canadian Junior Pairs
champions, the couple will

' As stories, stories and more
stories flow in about un-
believable conditions created
by the worst snowstorm to hit
the region in years, a spec-
tacular tale comes from the
Lucknow area.
A bulldozer working on tAe
6th concession of Ashfield
Township, required 84 hours,
not counting_break downs, to
clear five miles of snow-
covered road.- The Lucknow
Sentinel reports 200 inches, or
17 feet have fallen in the area,
topping Clinton's total of 12
feet.
They left the school at 11:30
a.m. to start their trip to the
bush near the school.
Each pupil took a lunch
with them that they cooked
over an open fire.
• Mr. Talbot and Mr. Millson
accompanied them. They
returned back to the school at
3:00 p.m. The grade 8's en-
joyed themselves very much
in the great outdoors.
Grade 7 hike
On Monday, January 24th,
the grade 7 class also went on
a snowshoeing hike. They left
the school at 11:15 a.m. The
