No arrests yet In rape incident Provincial police are con- tinuing their investigation into an incident in which two London women were reported to have been raped by a group of men in a field north of Grand Bend over the Victoria Holiday weekend. No arrests have been made, Police said the incident was part of initiation rites of an unidentified Windsor group. The two young women, one a former stripper, claimed they were sexually assaulted by at least seven men. Provincial police Inspector Dennis Alsop said there were 17 men in the group, but more than half stood around and watched. Exeter OPP Constable Frank Giffin is presently assisting Inspector Alsop in the in- vestigation. One of the women was taken to London hospital suffering from an overdose of drugs. Inspector Alsop said the women and the men met in Grand Bend May 20 and the women were . taken to the campsite later in the day. They were driven to London Monday and one of them slipped out of the home they were taken to and called London police complaining of rape. Ed Bain — Continued from Page 1 as president of the Goderich and District Labor Council for using the position to further his political career, he announced an intention to run in the October federal election. He ran a distant last in that campaign, pulling in 84 votes. He watched the results from a hospital bed after an industrial accident. Mr. Bain was bed-ridden for several weeks after being burned when a vat of caustic solution overflowed at the Dominion Road plant. Later he decided to contest the March 15 Huron riding byelec- tion, commenting, "It's my hobby. Other fellows play poker or make models. I play politics." In the midst of a surprise swing by voters toward the Liberal candidate, Jack Riddell, Mr, Bain's support shrank to 34 votes. 541, A native of Sault Ste. Marie, Mr. Bain moved to Goderich about 13 years ago. Funeral service was held at the Stiles Funeral Home in Goderich May 26, 1973. Mr. Bain, a member of the Royal Canadian Naval Volunteer Reserve, was buried in a veteran's plot in the Maitland Cemetery near Goderich. While the amount of visitors to Grand Bend over the American Memorial Day weekend was curtailed somewhat because of wet and cool weather, officers of the Grand Bend detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police were kept busy with drug and liquor charges. A total of 10 investigations were conducted under the Narcotics Control Act with 16 charges being laid, Charges under the Liquor Control Act totalled 18 while two persons were charged with im- paired driving. Only two motor vehicle ac- cidents were reported with three charges being laid, Three thefts were reported involving goods valued at $200. A boy's Supersport 10-speed bicycle has been reported stolen at Greed tend, The bike has no fenders with a light on the han- dlebars arid a "smile" sticker under the seat, The full complement of the summer OPP force at Grand Bend is now in operation, two of his own environmental technicians to do the job. Dr. Mills had previously suggested that two students be hired to conduct a cottage-to- cottage survey along the Lake Huron shore, Dr, Mills has not yet received official word on the technicians from the minister, The technicians will work with the health unit, but will be financed by the ministry. World came after the health unit fired off a, volley of letters to the minister citing the potential health crisis caused by ac- celerating erosion which has washed out crude sewage disposal systems at lakeshore cottages. About 35 cottages have been condemned by the health unit as being unfit for human habitation due to damaged or destroyed septic tank systems. Health officials are urging cottage owners to come to them for guidance on ways of solving the problem. The health unit's request for two students to conduct the survey had been turned down by Mr, Auld who said the ministry's "priorities for this year should be elsewhere," The ministry's regional office and the health unit agreed months ago that such a survey was badly needed and the province initially agreed to the plan, Mr. Auld's letter to Dr. Mills said the lack of available funds was behind the reversal of that decision. In one letter asking the minister to reconsider, Dr. Mills said the situation was "critical." Commenting on heavy lakeshore erosion in an in- terview, the MOH said flooded areas in Essex and Kent counties can be reclaimed but in Huron "we have complete destruction of shoreline areas." Dear Sir; During the past few weeks The Times-Advocate has printed some facts and another letter to the editor which prompted me to write this letter. In my opinion the recent decisions made by the Mayor and the Police Chief were both fair and just. If Exeter is to continue to grow and prosper, many more con- tracts will have to be let, nand we.,, hope not at premiumpriCes. The pictures on the front of the May 24, 1973 edition of The Times-Advocate show how many policemen get to be TOPS.
