John Van Gastel, 50, of Brantford, and formerly of Vanastra, the owner of Van Gastel Real Estate, was recently convicted in Kitchener Provincial Court of income tax evasion. Earlier this year, Fred Ginn, 58, Waterloo was sentenced to 180 days in jail or fined $26,432.99, the amount of tax avoided on in- come of $90,403 from 1972 to 1977 inclusive. Fund Reaches $50,000 Mark - Donations are still coming in steadily in the Clinton Public Hospital's fund raising draw, but the project can't get started until there is 110 $170,000 in funds and pledges, one of the fund raising committee members said this week. George Lavis of the fund raising commit- tee, said Tuesday that the hospital board in under orders not to proceed with construc- tion of the $866,000 addition until they have at least $170,000. Penny Sale Nets Most $$$ Ever The most successful annual penny sale since its begin- ning 27 years ago was held Saturday in the Clinton Town Hall. Approximately $3,500 was realized due to the excellent co-operation of local and area merchants and private cash donors produc- ing beautiful useful and necessary articles for prizes totalling over 200. 10 years ago September 30, 1976 Miller Says He'll Quit If Hospitals Stay Open - If he can't close hospitals, including Clinton Public Hospital, F'rank Miller will resign from his post as provincial health minister, he announced late last week. If the government loses their appeal in a court decision to close hospitals in Clinton as well as Chesley, Durham and Doctor's Hospital in Toronto, Mr. Miller wants to br- ing in legislation which will allow a health 'minister to close a hospital. If the government decides against bring- ing in the legislation Mr. Miller said he would resign. Auto pact crucial... owners CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1986 -Page 5 in Vanastra convicted of tax evasion Early FiIs Bow Deer Hunting Ban Sought - Huron County Council passed a motion, with only two members opposed, at their Friday meeting to object to the Ministry of Natural Resources over the Ministry's intention to allow hunting of deer within the county with bow and arrow. A letter of information, signed by H. Lan- caster, Forest and Land Management Supervisor of the Ministry of Natural Resources, had been placed in the report of the Development Committee noting that there would be no deer season in Huron County in 1976, with the "exception of a season for bow and arrow only, from Oc- tober 25 to November 30." New Church In Vanastra - The Vanastra Christian Reformed Church had its first of- ficial service last Sunday with 19 new members joining the church. Rev. Karel Boersma, his wife Sherry and son Jeremy became members of the Vanastra Church along with Jim and Tena Baker and their son Joshua and daughter Jessica, who was also baptised; Jim and Lynn Burgess and their sons, Owen and Matthew; Robin and Ruth Gates and their sons Alan and Stewart; Don and Betty McLean and their daughter Susan, and Dorothy Wilson, who was also baptized. 25 years ago September 28, 1961 PUC Has 'Wet' Problems, Watermains And Sewers - Clinton Public Utilities Com- mission granted hydro, water and sewerage service to two new homes on Tuesday night. • from page 4 comply with rules of the auto pacts. Im- porters currently account for a minority of vehicle sales - about 30 per cent. With 428,000 jobs created by 70 per cent of the market, each one per cent mathematically could be said to mean about 6,000 jobs in Canada, the majority of which are in Ontario. A number of import companies are now moving in Canada with kit assembly of their products. They plan to bring in their own parts, and some of their own workforce, without falling under the guidelines of the auto pact. In short, they wish to sell in our country, but not provide additional jobs in the marketplace. These companies are Hyundai, Honda and Toyota. Each one per cent increase in their sales will result in the loss of 6,000 jobs in Ontario - jobs for people who may be your friends and neighbors. The auto industry in Canada has shown it can manufacture better products with bet- ter efficiency than the importers. A survey of auto engineers in the world rates Mercedes No. 1, G.M. No. 2 and Ford No. 3, with Asian importers trailing. Asian vehicles have performed poorly in government°'•sponsored crash tests and in some countries last only one third as long as North American produced vehicles. In addition, North American dollar sales per employee are 50 per cent higher than Japanese importers and 200 per cent higher than Korean importers. There are two ways that we as Canadians can keep these 428,000 jobs intact and possibly increase them. One, as consumers, is to buy products built by companies concerned about employment in Canada - those companies that fall under the auto pact: AMC, Chrysler, Ford, GM, Volvo and Suzuki (in 1989). The other is to apply pressure to our governments to put pressure on these other companies not following auto pact guidelines. Let's keep our country strong.

A rider from the town east of Seaforth would slip on to the walks here for the smoother sailing until an information was lodged against him and he was brought before the local J.P. last week and fined one dollar and costs. He threatens to appeal on sundry grounds, but in the meantime he'll keep off the sidewalks in Clinton.

What Is A Crossing For° - Complaints have frequently been received of Grand Trunk freight trains standing on the cross- ing at the stock yards just so long as the engineer chose, much longer than the statute of patient permits. A Goderich Township farmer was thus held up the other day for so long that his patience at last broke and he went up to the magistrate and lodged an information, and Seargeant Welsh is now looking for the engineer. -Hers testa variety of cheese By Stephanie Bash GODERICH TWP. - The second meeting of the Milky Wheys was held on September 29 at the Goderich Township Hall.
