CONVICT 41 IN CAMPAIGN TO REDUCE SPEEDING An indication of the thorough- ness with which Seaforth police have carried out their campaign to reduce the speed of motorists en- tering or passing through the town is the fact that during the summer months 42 charges of speeding have been laid before E. C. Chamberlain, J.P. With but one exception, these charged have wither pleaded guilty or have been Lound guilty. Offenders have come from a wide area. A few were American tourists, but in the main the .:barges were laid against Ontario residents, including local and dis- trict motorists. The campaign to cut down the .hazard of feat driving was insti- tuted last spring when complaints reached council and police of the speed aft which motorists were driving through the town. Princi- pal offenders occurred on No. 8 Highway, as it passes through Sea - forth, but there were also a num- ber of infractions at the north and south entrances to town. In commenting on the number of charges laid, police pointed out that the campaign was designed only to impress on motorists the danger that existed not only to themselves but to children and the general public, in driving through town at excessive rates of speed. There was no malicious thought in laying of .a charge, and motorists were given every benefit of the doubt. At the same time, they pointed out, the community must be protected from those few unthinking motorists who drove in such a manner as to endan- ger the citizens of the town. • Bowlers Bring Hunt Trophy Back To Seaforth The Hunt trophy, emblematic of bowling prowess throughout the district, returned to Seaforth Fri- day evening. when Alvin Dale, Jas A.
