G: Lonsbary & Const. P. Mason* - Hello, we'd like to int?oduce a new article to the public. This article we hope will be interesting and informative tp you, the reader: > For our title, Some people think the word "COP" is a slang towards police. It isnot. It stands for Constable on• ,.Patrol, • -- O The first topic that we would like to bring to your at_. tention is an amendment to the Highway Traffic Act of Ontario. This new amendment requires motoriststo stop . for school crossing guards assisting• childrenacross a 'street. The new legislation, effective September 1, 1976, defines a school crossing guard as a "persbn 16 years of age or older employed by a municipalityto. direct the movement of children across a highway". To stop traffic, a school crossing guard roust display a „ special..school crossing stop sign, prescribed by •the - Ministry of Transportation ,and Communications. No other person, other than a crossing guard, can use this sign, The stop signs are to be used only on roads with speed limits of 40 M.P.H. or less. - • Motorists failing to stop for the sign are liable to a, fine of.not less than $20 and not more than $100. • + + + Motorists are reminded that the "No Stopping" -signs erected in front of the Public Schools are for the children's safety. Motorists,parked here make it difficult for, the children to see oncoming traffic and they could be hit. We would'much rather see your children get wet bad days, -than to have them endangered by vehicles parked in these No Stopping Zones. • The Highway Traffic Act. defines the word "Stop .or Stopping", when prohibited, •means .the halting of. a vehicle, even momentarily, whether occupied or not;. except •whennecessary to avoid conflict with other traffic or in compliance with the directions of a constable or other police officer or of a traffic Control sign or signal. ++ •Motorists mustalso be reminded that now thatschool is back in for another term, we'the drivers have to be extra careful in the, early *mornings, .at noon hours, and - after school is. out: . • . • Especially when the -weather is bad, the children will be running and dashing be—ween parked cars, across streets in order to get a ride or:,to get in somewhere before they get wet or cold. It is for this reason that we are askirigyou the motorist, to slow down and be alert during these peek times! • ++.+ . • • If .anyone has any Police 'related topics about which you would like to see an article, then pleasewrite to the Goderich Police Force, 65 West Street, Goderich,- at- tention Constables.

Jane was recently hired by -the Goderich Recreation Board through •a grant, from the- Ministry, of Community and „Social Services to help. integrate mildly retarded children and adults into ongoing • • community ' • recreation: programs. . But establishing the program is a slow process and Jane is using her time to become acgiraiinted: with the community and .involve herself in the.retarded, their programs in town. and their needs. Jane, a Teeswater. -native, is a graduate ' of- the Recreation Leadership Course at Conestoga-Coll-ege. Following her graduation in May she accepted a position with the Lake Huron Zone • Recreation Association and acted as co-ordinator for Sportsfest. Sportsfest, which offered tournam mts in low and medium skills, involved participants from Grey, Bruce, Huron, Wellington, and Perth counties: • During her two . year program at Conestoga, Jane worked as a volunteer at the Kinsmen .Centre Workshop for the retarded in Kitchener and she also worked with the . disabled at the YMCA: The program . which was' initially instituted in._..metro areas, is funded by the. Ministry of Community. and Social Services for one year. and 'if the. project proves successful. it is funded for an additional year.. ' But the. funding ends there and if the program is tobe continued thecosts are picked up bythe municipality. The Goderich .. Police Department investigated four. accidents during the past'` week only ' one of which resulted in a major damage estimate. - Peter Hamilton, 3'$4 -Met- calfe St., Strathroy was taken to Alexandra Marine and General Hospital by cruiser following a two car collision at the corner of Elgin Avenue and Waterloo Street, Oct. 16. The Hamilton vehicle came .: into collision with a vehicle driven by Everet McIlwain, RR 2 Goderich._.Damage. to the Hamilton vehicle was estimated 'at$4,000-and $1,000 to the McIlwain vehicle. • -1 During the past week the Goderich police laid 22 chargesunder the Highway Traffic Act, two under the ,Liquor Licence Act, five under the- Criminal Code of Canada and one under the Motorized.

Both -children and parents. will ' be, interviewed to determine interest and Jane hopes to organize a social evening with the parents, to meet them in a relaed at- mosphere.; and • explain the details of the program. The pro^rnm is .designed for both children and adults apd her initial' contact, are based on the recom- mendations of teachers'. She will begin her own evaluation .. and ..hopes to balance the group with both children and adults. She must meet with both the parents and children or adults to determine their interests and involve them in a . suitable . community r crreation program: Due to time limitations the initial, group participating in recreation programs may be as small as five in number. The number• participating - and the eventual success of the program will depend -On the ,volunteer work involved and Jane reiterated the fact that implementing a volunteer program was critical. Through volunteers more retarded persons may be includedin the program and learn • /social and practical skills as well as acquiring a friend. Volunteers may help the integration' process '.and. - also encourage the retarded person in their participation in such programs . as swim- ming, bowling, clay dlesigns, and , other :. recreation programs. • She'hopes to.get a volunteer program initiated from the beginning which would in- . crease the involvement in the program and: ensure , its continuation.

However, if that 'goal is not achieved then the sertrites of volunteers -become critical and the volunteer program is in effect the longest ongoing operation of the new project.. Jane will also contact program instructors and inform them • of the' par- ticipation of a retarded person long before so that people will be aware of the . fact beforehand. She an- ticipates no difficulties in preparing the community for this integration and indicated that many people have already worked with them in various activities; • It will take time to deter- mine the needs of the will be matched with the JANE NETZKE Rawson's for men who care You could need a new Raincoat Here's a great one.,' Single breasted with luxurious napped satin yoke and sleeve lining.
