School news
On Wednesday, November
•
Constable Bill Wilson at-
tended the school and held
seminars with the pupils on
bus safety. Each session
consisted of a film and
discussion period in which the
responsibilities of the pupils,
while on the bus, were
outlined.
The school bus has 10 safety
rules. Constable Wilson's
visit to the school was much
appreciated and it is hoped
that the pupils would heed his
advice so they can travel to
and from school safely.
On Thursday, November
10th a special Remembrance
Day service will be held in the
school gymnasium to observe
this very important day. As
part of the service, the pupils
will be wearing poppies
presented to them by the
Clinton Branch of the Royal
Canadian Legion and the
pupils are asked to bring
contributions to the school for
the poppies. The money
raised helps the Legion to
carry out the many important
duties, so we ask your support
of their endeavours: There
will be no school November

To raise money to carry out
its various activities, the
pupils from this school will be
participating in chocolate bar
sales. The students will be

Business chairman quits
Through correspondence
,,the Clinton Businessmen's
Association learned at their
regular meeting Tuesday
evening that Tim St. Louis
has resigned from the
position of chairman from the
-association.
Due to this, the small group'
of 14 who met at Bartliff's
Restaurant held an election of
officers and appointed the
hollowing executive: chair-
man, Heather Ross ; vice-
chairman, Clarence
Denomme; secretary, Helen
Bartliff.
Denomme noted that he
would take on the,position as
vice-chairman temporarily
until a replacement is found.
"I don't want to step up as
chairman again," he noted to
the group.
Some discussion was
brought up at the . meeting
regarding the morning
Or closing of stores on,
Remembrance Day. Some
merchants felt that Friday
was their busiest business
day and were reluctknt to
close.
Bob Campbell noted that it
was too late now to discuss
the closing on November 11
and said, "I'm a vet and I
think we have a lot to
remember here, more than
on other statutory holidays.
It's too bad that we have to
close out stores, but it's
respect. I think the old idem of
Remembrance Day is ,13e'ing
tossed around as a public
exhibition. It means nothing
more than a few men stan-
ding around wearing hats."
He suggested that sooner or
later requests should be made
to the government to have
Remembrance Day on the
previous Sunday.
"Helen Tench noted, "You
can't tell me that people can't
shop on Friday afternoon
instead of Friday morning."
"We're all putting dollars
and cents ahead of everything
else today, not that it's not
important but..." Campbell
added.
It was also noted that the
Mayor had made a
proclamation at the request
of the Legion that the stores
remain closed until 1 p.m. on
Friday, November 11, but this
was not declared and mer-
chants have the option to
remain open if they choose.

CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1977—PA3E 7
Flea Market may help Vanastra
Although the Huronastra
Flea Market is a private
enterprise, Ben and Pat
Bridges hope that their new
business will be a success to
the community of Vanastra
and not only a personal
winner.
"Vanastra is not as well
known as we would like it to
be," Mrs. Bridges explained,
"There's great business
potential here and we want
people to come into Vanastra,
not just drive by it."
The Bridges at first thought
the market could work as a
community project, but later
felt that it would be too much
work and confusion so they
decided to take it on by
themselves.
Their official opening, this
past weekend, seemed to
indicate its success as some
,750 to 800 people came to
browse and buy merchandise
from some 26 vendors who set
up tables, •
The vendors who came
from throughout south-
western Ontario carried a
large variety of items in-
cluding crafts, photography,
antique furniture, brass
items and gifts.
"We don't have junk here,"
pointed out Mrs. Bridges,
"People have commented on
that."
The market is located in the
old Huron Wholesale building
in Vanastra and was leased
from a man in Goderich.
Improvements will be made
to the building with the profits
gained from the market.
The Bridges noted that
there is still room for more
vendors and tables are
supplied for those bringing in
their merchandise, Mrs.
Bridges added ',that the
vendors who were present
over the weekend have made
permanent bookings. She also
noted that some of the ven-
dors also go to the flea
market in London, located at
the Western Fairgrounds but
they like to try some place
small as well.
ALPHA hears of
new system
The Wingham area could be
the site of the first rural
transportation system for the
handicapped in Ontario, Dory
Langille of Ottawa told
ALPHA at a recent meeting
in Brussels. -
Mr. Langille is working on
a feasibility study in the
district for Transport
Canada. The study should be
completed by late December.
The adoption of the plan will
depend on the need, interest,
and support of the people in
the area.
ALPHA will meet next at
Holmesville School, on
Tuesday, November 22 at 8
p.m. For information call:
Elaine Townshend at 482-
3073, Mary Howell at 524-8641,
or Pat Watson at 887-6236.
However the Bridges hope
that their business venture
will grow. Already the flea
market has increased in size
from its trial run in October.'
At that time there were six
vendors and about 60 people
coming to it over the,
weekend.
"I'm very optomistic about
it," noted Mrs. Bridges and
she and her husband have
plans to become the biggest
flea market in southwestern
Ontario.
The Bridges, who reside in
Vanastra, pran to operate the
market from 10 to 5 p.m.
every Saturday and Sunday.

You're asking
Why and liquor lists do not
include a list of non-alcoholic
drinks"... why "alternative non-
alcoholic punches aren't offered
at parties ...why "people are
always trying to `spike' your drinks
...why "if a drunk gets behind the
wheel of a car and his wife reports
him, nothing is done she is a
trouble -maker unless he kills
someone."
k
You're concerned
"Society makes you feel like a
freak if you don't drink", , , "the
message constantly screeched on
T'J is you have to drink". , . "25
glossy liquor ads ran in the same
issue of the magazine as your
black and white ad showing the
other side..... "the macho image
requires that a real `he-man' be a
hard -drinking hero."
You're pointing out
1
"In many small towns in Canada
the only social activity is to go
clown to the local hotel for a few
drinks"... "I'd rather sit next to a
1
smoker on an aircraft than next to
a drunk but I don't see any non -
drinking sections"..."I am not
advising absolute abstinence but
am absolutely convinced of the
immorality of permitting oneself to
become so intoxicated that one
inflicts harm on others."
You're' suggesting
"A series of radio or -TV programs
showirig realistically what happens
when a person drinks too much"
..."bans or controls on advertising"
..."very severe penalties for irn.
paired drivers "courses for
senior girls intent on marrying
young on handling the situation
of a drunk husband."
Afld..!.YOU're doing!
In Ontario. the Thunder Bay
Committee for 'Dialogue on
drinking' is well on its way... in
Nova Scotia. local committees
have joined with service clubs to
discuss with hundreds of people,
alcohol and its impact on the
community... in Rothesay, New
Brunswick, 40 Knights of Colum-
bus have asked how they can
help in northern Manitoba.
`Dialogue' posters are appearing
everywhere even in the hotel
washrooms ... Medicine Hat.
Alberta, has its Alcohol in the
Community Program ...and in
Vancouver, teenagers petitioned
against opening two liquor stores
because some of their friends had
been killed by drunk drivers.
Now, we're talking!
We're talking about the problems
alcohol can cause,,. but better,
we're doing something about them
together... and because of your
efforts, a more responsible attitude
to drinking is emerging.
"1 see my own and my peers
attitudes changing. Instead of
bragging how drunk we got on a
particular night, we are more apt
to take pride in being able to
control our consumption at a
reasonable level."
And that, after all is what
`Dialogue on drinking' is all about
it's a program to help you talk
about and do something about
drinking problems. We'd like to
hear more from you.

You're talking about the problems of alcohol in everyday life -
and that's bringing them into the open. You've written in from
coast to coast in response to `Dialogue on drinking' to share your
suggestions, experiences and reactions. It's clear that responsible
citizens — drinkers, non-drinkers, social drinkers, ex -drinkers,
teenagers, grandparents, social workers, students — are concemed
about Canada's alcohol problems. All agree there is a crying need
for moderation along with more information and education on •
alcohol-related problems and some feel there is a need for a
chan1ge in attitude because "often more tolerance is shown to the
drunk than the non-drinker," even though responsible drinkers
and non-drinkers are in the majority.
