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.

"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.

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. 1
