According to Chief Jim Miller
the town police will be keeping a
close eye on motorists who squeal
their tires around town, es-
pecially in the area of the high
school. This comment followed a
report that the police charged an
area man with making unneces-
sary noise on Monday at 12:20
p.m. after the offending driver
was caught in the area of the high
school.
One person has been charged
following a liquor seizure Friday
evening outside F. E. Madill
Secondary School during a dance
at the school.
At 2 a.m. on Saturday the town
police Cruiser was almost struck
by another vehicle. A chase fol-
lowed and a youth has been
charged with driving while his
licence was under suspension.
Other reports by the police in-
clude . three motor vehicle ac-
cidents involving property dam-
age. On Wednesday a ° car
driven by Jack Hayes of Wing -
am, was struck after it pulled
from a parking spot on Josephine
Street, by a car driven by Bill
Kerr of Wingham. The total esti-
mated damage was in the area of
$300.
On Friday ' afternoon a car
driven by • Elsie Irene • Smith of
RR 3, Wingham, struck a light
pole on Josephine Street near the
post office causing approxi-
mately $250 in damages. The pole
was not damaged.
On Tuesday morning at about 7
a.m.; a car driven by Fernanda
Mary Shill of RR 3, Wingham,
was in collision with a car driven

Yet not all:those whose lend is
in the path of the proposedterrii-
dorr are satisfied, with Hydro's
errangger nenta.
"It. is the feeling of those far -
niers affected by Hydro's pro-
posed power corridor that they
don't want to subsidize the other
nine million Qnta cions who make
use' of hydro electric power."
This was a comment by George
Underwood, whose, farm. is.
located north-east of Wingham
and lies in the path of'the 'pro-'
posed corridor which would run .
from Douglas Point through mid-
western Ontario to copneet with
the, paovince's. power grid `near
Kitchener.
Mr: " Underwood: " is ' one of, Oil
farmers who each paid ' X100
through the Ontario Federation
of Agriculture to finance a study
by the Sibbald ,Group of Ednlon»
ton,, a firm 'of consultants.
The ' :report from the coi sul-
nts, which' has not been made
Underwood explained, pointing
out that a farrier who is working
efficiently will have the needed
mechanization for the acreage
available ' and that a cutback in
this acreage would leave the
farm overly pan ech anized
Another feature of the corridor
which is disturbing to'both Mr„
Underwood and Mr. Lewis is that
rather than the route running
through single fames, it is placed
so it runs through a second line of
fermi by straddling their boun-
daries, It thus adversely affects
both farmers.
"Although 'Hydro has offered to
lease the land back to. the far-
mers, the corridor euu1d reduce
the acreage of any farm to,a level
which would make the land inef-
ficient, further reducing its' value
should the farmer at a later date
attempt tri sell .the - land.
Another disturbingas�t� of
the corridor alignment is whether
Hydro would maintain the fences
bordering tilt ir:: lands, "According;

He spoke of this as evidence of
the greatest four -fold develop-
ment of all time. He said, "A
happy life is balanced on all
sides --physical, mental, social
and religious. Each of these four
sides stimulates the others. We
have four lives to live: body,
brain, heart and soul. The more
we develop each, the more we
have to pour out to others. The
more we share, the more we have
to share."
Mr. Brydges stressed the im-
portance of developing all areas
of one's life. "The- time has come
when men and women cannot
leave all of their religious life to
the preacher, he said. "Men
today think religion hinders their
social life and they reject Christ
and His church, but this is wrong.

ALONG THE MAIN DRAG
By The Tice Pededriara
INDIAN SUMMER—
There can't, be any complaints
about the weather this week
except that it might just spoil us
for the 'weeks to come.
BURNING LEAVES—
The odor of a few leaves burn-
ing in the fall is very pleasant
indeed,.yet a few evenings this
week the smoke was so thick it
was like a choking pea-souper in
the intersectiOn of Water and
Cedar Streets. Total estimated
damage was $375.
Police are also investigating
two cases of passing fraudulent
cheques.
Guest speaker at
1.1 1 th anniversary,
is former resident -
Rev. Charles Congram, BA,
BRC, M.Div., a former resident
of Wingharn now ministering at
Puce, near Windsor, was guest
speaker Sunday as St. Andrew's
Presbyterian Church celebrated
its iiith annivergary with special
At the morning service Mr.
Congram used as his sermon title
"The Way the Word 'Guarantee'
Gets Kicked Around". He dis-
cussed the way we use the word
'guarantee' so loosely, in com-
parison to the way Christ's
promises are guaranteed. He
spoke of four of Christ's claims,
from the Gospel of John, chapter
14, and asked that each person
personally challenge' these
claims in his own life.
His sermon in the evening was
based on Ephesians, chapter
four, "The Problems with Grow-
ing Up". Mr. Congram empha-
sized the need for growth, both as
an individual and as a church.
One's growth as a mature Christ-
ian depends first, on his personal
study of God's word, second, his
involvement with God's work in
the Church and third, one's fel-
lowship with other Christians.
Organ and piano music was
supplied at both services by Mrs.
Don Robertson and Mrs. Harry
Bateman. At the morning serv-
ice, the choir sang "The Holy
City" and "Thou Art the King";
the St. Andrew's Bell Ringers
also supplied a number of selec-
tions. Special music at the
evening service included a solo,
"How Great Thou Art", by Mr.
Congram and a choral anthem,
"Surely God is in This Place".
A rally of St. indrew's young
people was held Sunday after-
noon. This discussion, led by Mr.
Congram, centered on their per-
sonal relationship as young
people to Christ and in the
church.

Visitors witness
Irish violence
Mr. and Mrs. Bert Mathers,
who recently returned from three
weeks in Southern Ireland and
England can testify that there is
plenty of evidence of the distur-
bances which have been rocking
the two lands for the past couple
of years.
In fact, Bert brought back the
evidence in the form of a picture
clipped from a Dublin news-
paper. In the foreground a group
of Irish extremists is seen in the
act of burning British Prime Min-
ister Edward Heath in effigy.
Bert himself appears in the
crowd of spectators.
However, he says that both
Catholic and Protestant parties
are, in the majority, very un-
happy with the militancy of the
few who are fomenting the
trouble. Evidence of the attitude
in Southern Ireland is, of course,
the fact that a Protestant was
recently elected as head of state.
When the Withers visited Eng-
land they found security very
tight at all museums and public
buildings. Security guards even
insisted that ladies turn out. the
contents of their Purses in case
they might contain bombs. While
they were in London a terrorist
bomb created havoc when it ex-
ploded in the new Euston Station
near the centre of the city.
