PETERS of the BACK SHOP Everybody else is stealing these days . . Even the editor of this fine family journal is admitting to the fact. So this mouse has done the deed, too, and this week pre- sents for what it's worth, the find- ings of the good folk of Kincar- dine concerning parkin, meters, fines, and general exercise. * * * Perhaps this will serve as guidance for Council in the matter of enforcing existing by-laws and in creating new ones. Perhaps it will effect those persons who still insist on parking all day upon the main business thoroughfares in Clinton. Perhaps it will only incur more rath upon the bed of a heat prostrated small mouse. Oh, well, it's too hot to worry about. * from ONCE OVER Lightly by Wib McLeod in the Kincardine News Kincardinites may consider them- selves fortunate to have escaped the parking meter plague. As a consequence everyone has benefit- ted. Readers may not concur in this belief, but if they follow the persuasive arguments sit forth herein there wi11 doubtless be a reversal of mind and citizens all will be parading the streets shout- ing "Hosannah:" for the august councillors who saw the folly of such installations. . * Since the council said a loud and somewhat derisive "No" . to the proposal, the police have been patrolling the main. portion of the business sec- tion. This, in itself, provides the constabulary with health - THIRD ANNUAL KIN KARNIVAL Sponsored by the Kinsmen Club of Clinton Labour Day MONDAY, SEPT. 6 ON LEGION MEMORIAL HALL GROUNDS .07 PARADE Led By BANNOCKBURN PIPE BAN �o Dr. Ballard's Famous Mutt Show ONSTER BINGO GAMES OF CHANCE BIG DRAW 1st PRIZE: 16 Foot Nipissing Cedar Strip Outboard Boat complete with 25 h.p.

(To date, none). 'Motorists who park in this area also get beneficial exer- cise., They have to stoop over to see if there is a chalk mark on any tire. This has a doubly good effect. In so doing, they get to examine tires they would otherwise neglect. * * * In the widening circle of bene- fits, it follows that a percentage of tires are below pressure con- sidered suitable for the vehicles in question. This necessitates re- pairs, swells the volume of busi- ness at the garages, Iteeps the employees busy with beneficial ex- ercise and prevents them' whistling at scantily clad beauties who may be passing by on the street. In turn, this moral attitude, although enforced, makes for a better home life. and, if the thought is pursued further, to a greater nation. Business men, too, are bene- fitting, In days of yore tl ey parked their cars in front of establishments of their neigh- bour or competitor. Since this cannot be done, except in a period of less than two hou s, they have found other shady, secluded parking places. Thus the finish of the cares preser- ved from the summer sun's rays and there is more time to wait on customers, as well as some more of that health- ful exercise from walking at least a portion of the way to and from work. * * * Even the municipality benefits. It now is getting some value for the handsome, but seemingly su- perfluous, signs warning of two- hour parking limit. There is some usage, too, of the violation tickets which have been gathering dust in the town offices. Given a reason- able year, there should be suffi- cient revenue from offenders to pay for the cost of the tickets. And the offenders benefit, from having the opportunity to visit and inspect first hand our imposing municipal offices. • * Nor should the fact be over- HENS*LL' Mrs. W. J.

Accident At Blake An accident occurred at Blake, two miles north west of Zurich, on Saturday when a car driven by J. Hayden, Detroit, Mich., travelling north on the County Road, went over a hill situated on the south side of the intersection, applied brakes and went off on the west part of the road. The car hit a two-storey frame house owned by Amos Gingerich, R.R. 2, Zurich. It struck the east side of the house; ripped off the siding to the north corner doing extensive damage to the living room and the walls. Pictures on the walls in the liv- ing room were knocked down and broken, Iamps were knocked off the table, and pictures on the piano were knocked off by the impact. Mrs. Gingerich was alone with her daughter Betty, (15 years) and they were both bad- ly frightened. She said that dam- ages would mount into the hund- reds. Damage to the car was $400. P/C Cecil Gibbons, Exeter, invest- igated. looked that if excavations for meter installations had been undertaken, Kincardine main street would resemble the sec- tions of Huronia where they are digging for relics of an earlier era. Almost everyone has had a hand (and ,hovel and pick) in the main street tearing up process. The town works department has done its share, the public utilities com- mission has played the course in par and a new starter, the telephone system, has outdone the others. Had the parking meter experts got in the act, there might not have been any streets left. * * * The banks in Kincardine, while not permitted to express an opin- ion on any controversial issue, other than our outstanding loans, have overtly admitted, through spokesmen, their happiness over the non -metering policy, for its adoption would have meant the necessity of keeping on hand, dol- ing out; wrapping up and generally getting involved with great scads of coppers, needed to feed the hungry, gaping meters. All in all, it could have been a heck of a mess, from which, praise the council, we fortun- ately have been spared. Hos- annah!
