Mr. Rowntree disclosed that during the two years up to Mar- ch 31 this year a total of 31,264 drivers received advisory letters on attaining 6 points; 6,285 were interviewed on reaching 9 points, while 1,783 were sus- pended for repeated traffic vio- lations resulting in an accumu- lation of 12 points. "It is pleasing to note," the Minister continued, "that over 80 percent of those drivers re- ceiving advisory letters had no subsequent additions, and at the hame time 82 percent of those interivewed lived up to their ag- reements about future behav- iour and had received no addit- ional points. This, I think, does indicate the effectiveness of the system. However, now the first two years are over, it will be reviewed and any necessary changes made." The Minister also stated that police officers reported many drivers who formerly thought of offences in terms of fines, now think in terns of points and suspensions, This would indicate the psychological value of the systsem in relation to driver self-discipline. always FINE FOODS MODERN DINING LOUNGE ENJOY THE FINE ATMOSPHERE Or- OUR ATTRACTIVE ALPINE ROOM Our Entire Hotel is Equipped with "Hi-Fi" System for your Listening Pleasure WE SPECIALIZE IN STEAKS - (Hir EN - FISH Dominion Hotel PHONE 73 — ZURICH 25th Anniversary Of Hensall Women's Institute Is Observed (By our Hensall correspondent) The Hensall Women's Insti- tute celebrated the 25th anniv- ersary of their founding, on Friday, May 12, in the school- room of the United Church, which was lovely in blue and gold motif, daffodils, and bask- ets of forsythia and pussy wil- lows.

Sunday guests with Mr. and Mrs. Peter Gingerich were Mr. Sugar and Spice (Continued from Page Two) some good timber out of there .. • Next part of my annual in- spection was the cellar. I'd go down there ready for anything And that's just what.,l'd find in it—anything from a beaver pond to potatoes right out of the cellar floor. I used to pick up a shovel, move some ashes from here to there, then get ab- sorbed in restuffing the broken window with a burley sack, and finally, head upstairs, mumb- ling, "If a fellow could just get somebody to take those ashes out of there ..." :x * There were dozens of other little jobs to plan:—painting the trim; putting up that sec- tion of fence the kids knocked down three Halloweens back; putting new panes in the storm windows; tearing down the leaky drain pipes. Each of them took careful, accurate figuring on time involved, and money for materials. And you know, I miss all that. There's something about that good, old spring tour of inspec- tion that is vital and satisfying. It just makes you want to get right at things and plan them. After years of planning, this year I feel like a gentleman far- mer without a farm. I never got around to doing any of those jobs around the old place. But if I say it myself, there was nothing wrong with the plans. and Mrs. Kenneth Gingerich and family, and Mr. and Mrs. Keith Gingerich and family, Mr. and Mrs, Amos Gingerich were Sunday guests with their daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and.
