memimis that the new reganla,

fn effect immediately since th
passed through a third
reading in the legislature.
The changes passed in De-
cember repeal the 1970 amend-
ments and become part of the
Motorized Snow Vehicles Act of
1968. Chief Wittig read most of
the new rules verbatim from the
printed leaflet issued by the
Ministry but added explanation
and clarification on some of the
more obscure regulations. The
new changes affect speed restric-
tions, registration procedures,
vehicle equipment standards,
trespassing violations, vehicle
owner responsibility and towing
procedures. "Most of these things
ate just common sense," Chief

Lions Club
is seeking
for local talent
The search is still on for
talented performers to take part
in the Wingham Lions Club talent
shows. This year's chairman,
Jack Gillespie, says they
"haven't quite filled the first
show," with three or four spots
still open. "Lots of people don't
want to be in the first, Sllow,
because they want more time to
practise," he explained, "but
without .a first show, we can't
have a second:"
The Lions will sponsor , four
talent shows this year, three
regular and one "Show of -Stars"
to include the top four talents
from the regular shows. They are
scheduled for Jan. 30, Feb. 27,
March 27 and April 24. The shows
will be held in the auditorium of
the town hall to start at 8 p.m.,
and tickets will be sold at the door
for the regular shows.
Mr. Gillespie said the talent
will come from the entire area.
He also said the Lions are hoping
for a big turnout: "There's
usually a good turnout; at least
there has been in the past." This
is the fourth year for Lions to
sponsor the talent shows in Wing -
ham.

no by-laws regulating snowmo-
bile vise and suggested that a set
of by-laws prepared by the club
for presentation to town council
be to +ed since most of 're propo-
sals were covered by the act.
Club president Don Carter also
reported to the members on
decals ordered for membership
use and on progress made in the
grant appliction to the Ministry of
atural Resources. He explained
th t a groomer would be avail-
able for club use provided they
coulfind a snow machine to pull
it. Little, progress has been made
in securing permission from
various land owners of the dis-
trict for the use of their land for
trails due to lack of volunteers,
Mr. Carter said. "You can't ex-
pect one man to go out and do all
the work himself," he said.
Two projects were discussed by
club members. Pledge sheets
were distributed for those plan-
ning to participate in the Whipper
Watson Snowarama on Feb. 2,
and the club discussed the pos-
sibility of a fund-raising snowa-
rama to raise money for a youth
group in Wingham. Feb. 16 was
set as the tentative date pending
further information from the
youth group.
One car -
two mishaps
Wingham Police investigated
two car accidents on Thursday,
Jan. 16 but they both involved the
same car. Both accidents occur-
red at the intersection of John
and Josephine Streets under icy
driving conditions where a car
driven by Donald Vair of Bel -
grave was struck by a car driven
by Douglas Corrin of Lucknow,
causing an estimated $500 dam-
ages. A few minutes later, a third
car driven by Toltan Gnay of Bel -
grave strqck the Corrin car but
caused only minor damages.
The Wingham Police Depart-
ment also reported three crimi-
nal investigations and two in-
vestigations under the Liquor
Control Act • and issued eight
traffic summonses.
The police department has also
received the revisions to Police
Act regulations governing the
hiring of municipal police offi-
cers. The news release issued by
the Ministry of the Solicitor Gen-
eral includes revisions of the
minimum height requirement
and the previous age limit of 19 to
35 years of age, plus total years of
prior poliee experience. All
height restrictions on applicants
have been removed, and any ap-
plicant . over 48 may be con-
sidered as a police recruit.

Lions discuss
pension plans
The first meeting of x975 for the
Lions Club of Wingham was
"Vice: President Night" and was
chaired by vice-chaikman Archie
Hill.
Guest speaker John Ward, a
• chartered accountant from List-
owel, talked on "Registered Re-
tirement Pension Plans". He said
that people concerned about re-
tirement should "shop around" to
find the plans with the highest
possible yields. He warned
'against investments into heavily
"front -loaded" plans that trap
the investor with no -cancellation
clauses and other conditions. Mr.
Ward explained that a good plan
would enable the investor to vary
deposits from time to time with-
out financial penalties. He sug-
