Just in time for the upcoming
Federal.electicin on July 8th, R.
E. (Bob) McKinley, the Huron:*
Member of- Parliament, has
succi;eded in *inning approval
for his private member's bill to
change the Huron Federal
riding's name from Huron to
Huron -Middlesex. •
Mr. • McKinley was anxious
for the change because in the
last readjustment of .con-
stituencv boundaries, when the
townships of B:iddulph and
McGillivray in Middlesex
County were added to the
Municipalities in. Huron
County,
Thus, the new name, 'Huron-
'Middlesex, will be indicative of
the' two county representation
in the House of Commons.
A similar change .was ap-
proved for the riding of Mid-
dlesex because that riding con-
•stituencv now includes portions
of the City of London, Mid-
dlesex and Lambton Counties.
It will, henceforth, be known as
Middlesex-London-Lambton.

Some accidents are non-

cident occurred, or proven by

Are drivers admitting their
shortcomings by wearing seat
belts? Don't believe it for a
moment, says ' the Ontario
Safety League. They're driving
defensively, expecting the unex-
pected, looking out for the
other guy.

During an open meeting
called by the county's five town.
police chiefs in°Clinton, May 9,
members of the Ontario Police
Commission said a directive
was "in the mail" which for-
bids third parties without
proper clearance, from han-
dling police calls. The meeting
was called to discuss a possible
county. police force in the event
of legislation by the Ontario
government which would
disband 'police forces in towns
with populations under 15,000.
Discussion{_about police com-
murfications and radios con-
sumed a large portion of the
meeting. It was 'learned that
the town police forces in Huron
County rely on answering ser-
yi.cesfor night calls.
'When citizens telephone a
police station in Clinton,
Exeter,or Seaforth 'at night, an
answering Service takes the
messages., and transfers them to'
offieers on call.
Goderich and Wing -ham are
the only two, towns in. -the,
county with at least one officer
om duty 24 hours a day.
If the officer on duty is not at
the police station to receive a
call at night, the answering ser-
vice transfers messages to him
by radio. „
Persons operating these an-
swering services must meet ex-
tensive provincial'
requirements,, Judge :T.J.
Graham, with. the police com-
tnission; said. .
The chiefs generally ex-
pressed concern about the mat-
ter and indicated proper steps
will be taken.
