L. `Tory' Gregg ' was- sportsman A well-known resident of West- ern Ontario, M. L. 'Tory' Gregg of 33 Highview Ave., London, died Saturday at the age of 70. 'Tory' had many friends in the Wingham area, since being an announcer at Radio Station CKNX in the late 1940s and early 1950s. He was a former president of the Ontario Hockey League, one of the founders of the Western Ontario Athletic Association and always actively involved in all kinds of sports. In 1933-34 he play- ed hockey with the London Te- cumsehs. Aside from his radio duties, his voice was probably best known as announcer at area fall fairs, par- ticularly as starter of horse races. From the time he took his ' place behind a micophone until the days' activities were over, the voice of 'Tory' Gregg echoed throughout fair grounds, as much a part of the country fair as the smell of hot dogs permeating crisp autumn air. When he left CKNX in the 50s, he went to London where he was employed by Molson Breweries. He retired in 1971. Funeral service for Mr. Gregg was held in London on Tuesday. He is survived by his wife, the former Annie L. MacKay; one son, Kenneth M of Sault Ste. Marie; two daughters, Mrs. Joan Riehl and Mrs Pat Nowlan, both of Mississauga, 'eight grandchil- dren and two great grandchil- dren. There are two sisters and one brother also surviving. I N Fordwich resident dies in hospital Ross Doig passed away at Palmerston Hospital on Monday, March 8. He is survived by three daughters, Mrs. Don (Helen) Se- broobk and Mrs. Don (Dorothy) Lounsbury, both of St. Cathar- ines, and Mrs. Don (Margaret) Gibson of Thunder Bay; four sons, Arnold of Fordwich, Jack and Glen of St. Catharines, Don- ald of Glen Morris; 17 grandchil- dren and nine great grandchil- dren. He was predeceased by his wife, Elizabeth, one sister and five brothers. Funeral service was conducted by Rev. J. W. A. Stinson of Ford- wich Wednesday, March 10, at the Davidson Funeral Home, Gorrie. Spring interment will take place in Fordwich Ceme- tery.

Daryl Wheelei Interest growing against new law Due to press coverage of the seatbelt protest meeting held in Wingham last week, it has been learned that more and more, Huron County residents are in- quiring into ways in which they can form their own Citizen Pro- tection Associations. Brian Hallman, vice chairman of the associatign, said Monday that interest is becoming more widespread against the provin- cial government's program of mandatory seatbelt use. He said residents in the area seem to be increasingly determined to pro- test the legislation and want to do something to show their concern. F1 Used Car Savings '75 ASTRE Panel, 3,000 miles.
