GRAHAM ELECTRIC NO'jJICE ALL-STARS Last Thursday night the eveness 'of the teams in the W _O.A.A. playoffs this year was shown again as Walkerton defeated the .Electrics 1-0 in a My first concern after--""** assessing the damage to the siding on the house, was- to telephone my insurance agent. —Upon -his -advice -the -police called and a report filed. There the matter stands. I will be -forced to pay for damages that I did not commit, (my house insurance policy has the standard deductible clause), and the police have the almost impossible task of finding a damaged snowmobile and then proving that it was the one that collided with my house. I do not own a snowmobile myself, .nor do I have any wish to. Neither do I object to anyone's right to own and operate such a machine under safe and. sensible conditions. 'This, in my opinion, does not include the public streets and private property within the town of Goderich. Fortunately, we do have some legislators' in our town. who are trying to enforce reasonable by-laws for the safety of the snowmobiles and non-snowmobiler'alike. Let us hope. that we soon can get together on a, safe . and sensible- policy, so that the person who damaged my home does not have to hide, under the cover of a snowmobile suit and the darkness of night; but can ,operate his vehicle in a place and mannerdesignated for such vehicles. :W.
