The police have issued warnings, asking people to walk their bikes when on the sidewalk, he said, adding that "most of the problem has been with adults." The matterswereraised at the meeting by William Harris, one of council's representatives on the police commission, who reported he had received complaints about bicycles on the side- walks almost knocking people down, as well as about cars parking on the sidewalks along the side streets. Commissioner Jack Gilles- pie raised another concern: "If a kid six years old rides on the sidewalk he may hit somebody, but if he goes on the street he may get hit by a car." However Mr. Harris said the objective is not to force cyclists onto the street down- town, but to make them get off and walk their bicycles through the shopping area where pedestrian traffic is heavy.

Police chief gets contract The Wingham Board o Police Commissioners ha signed a new, three -yea contract with its police chief Robert Wittig. 'The contract, which was ratified by the board at a meeting last week, generally mirrors the one negotiated earlier this year with other Members of the police force. It provides for a substantial pay increase to be phased in over the three years and some improvements . in benefits, including the early- retirement benefit. Over the term of the pant, which runs from Jan. 1, 1985 to Dec. 31, 1987,, the chief's salary will rise in stages to $46,204 from its old level of $35,218, keeping pace with the increases awarded to the other officers. f Commissioner Margaret s Bennett,- who chaired the r negotiating committee, said she is very pleased with the settlement, adding that the chief had been "most co- operative" during negotia- tions. • ' "He got a few things he wanted and there were a few things he wanted that he didn't get." While the contract provides fora 10 per cent pay increase as of Yan. 1, 1985, deleting the civilian clothing allowance, telephone and The largest increase comes in the first year when the chief's salary jumps in two `stages to a level of $40,268' as of July 1, 1985. However this increase is partially offset by the deletion of provisions for a civilian clothing allowance; paid telephone and standby pay, which together totaled about $2,000. As a , result the chief's salary now reflects his full pay, since he does not get paid overtime and will no longer collect standby pay, as, other members of the force do.

During a meeting of the Wingham Board of Police Commissioners last week, Chief Robert Wittig said police will begin cracking down on these bylaw violations by ticketing the offenders. Up to now police have been issuing warnings, the chief said, but if a parked car completely blocks a side- walk, `it gets past.. the warning stage." He also agreed it is "probably time to start laying charges" against adults riding bicycles on downtown 'sidewalks, in violation of .the bylaw passed • E.T.

Lessons of wars must be remembered BELGRAVE — A white cross adorned with red poppies on the communion table of Knox Presbyterian Church, Sunday morning served as a solemn reminder of lives sacrificed for us and the debt of gratitude we owe. The Psalm reading, hymns and the scripture passages, Micah 3:3 "They shall beat their swords into pruning hooks ... neither learn war any more,"and John 17:33, "These things haveI spoken that ye might have peace... . be of good cheer I have over- come the world," all implied hope. The choir sang, "He Lead- eth My Soul," with Mrs. George Procter, organist. Rev. John G. Roberts said, "I never know what to say or think to. honor- those—Wild - gave their lives: ' why should the young remember? Soon there a, will be none who remember. Are we trying to put off the evil days, or is there something more?" There are two simple, basic things, he said: 1. Since the last war situations 1 1 f r w R --th ike Dunkirk days are dif- ferent. ifferent. Never again will war demand such, enterprises as Dunkirk and 'Dieppe or the 945 invasion. War, will be ought by a few decisions, emotely as a push-button ar. "What did the previous ars do for us?" Mr. oberts asked. They gave us e -opportunity -to• learn -real-- • lessons. This is vital to re- member. Second, there is an in- timate connection between Canada and distant coun- tries. A Remembrance Day parade has much to say to, all. Its members are the sur- vivors of several generations who chose. to face decisions with fortitude, courage and sacrifice. It was their choice. The choice of the young will be different. Face your choice with courage, forti- tude, commitment and hope.
