Times-Advocate, 1978-06-15, Page 17• Hensall leaves get reprieve, dogs don't It appears that Hensall homeowners will still be able to burn leaves and trash on their property following council’s deferment of a bylaw that would have prohibited such activities. The bylaw which was similar to a bylaw in Exeter that prohibited any burning within the town was felt to be to stringent for Hensall’s requirements. Councillor Bev Bonthron said the intent of introducing a fire control bylaw was to prevent the proliferation of burning in the downtown core. He said when the core expands, the incineration of trash could threaten the downtown. “In the fall of the year I just like to smell those leaves ‘burning,’’ said Paul Neilands who said such a bylaw would cause extra costs to be incurred with the removal of leaves from the town. He cited Exeter where a large vacuum was purchased to blow the leaves title “The Re-Formation” Lucan UC news Rev. Charles Scott, Chaplain at the London Physchiatric Hospital, was the 116th Anniversary guest speaker on Sunday at the Lucan United Church. Mr. Scott speaking from I Corinthians, chose as his sermon Unfinished and told of his work with ministers, doctors, nurses and lay people. He said “The Bible teaches us the A. B. C’s of living and we must make them per­ tinentin our lives in 1978, and that we must be actively involved in “descipleship” within our groups. Mr.- Scott told the congregation “We have not seen the Lord, but we have seen Him at work in others. Everyday should be a ‘re­ formation’ day, a day of learning loving and caring.” The choir sang a very joyful anthem “Sing- to the Lord a Marvellous Song,” under the leadership of Helen Brown. The floral arrangements in the Sanctuary were from the funeral of the late Rolston G. (Kelly) Hearn of St. Marys, brother of Ivan Hearn and the love and sympathy of the congregation is extended to the family. The flowers were distributed to shut-ins during the afternoon. Following the service a “finger luncheon” was enjoyed plus a great time of visiting and fellowship. Next Sunday the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper will be celebrated and all members and friends of the congregation urged to be present communion.

Councillor Homer Campbell concurred with Reeve Harold Knight who said council should give the matter some more thought. In a bylaw that did receive final approval and which would hopefully solve a problem which keeps crop­ ping up in area municipalities, a dog licen­ sing and registering bylaw received final approval. Prior to the bylaw’s passage Knight said nI have no quarrels with dogs; it’s just some of the owners that get me upset.” In reply to a question from Neilands, clerk-treasurer Betty Oke said 39 dog tags have been sold and that her summer assistant Susan Thompson, will be conduc­ ting a dog census some time this week in order to have a better idea of the number of tags which could actually be sold. Several council members said it wasn’t fair for some people to act within the spirit of the bylaw while others ignored the bylaw. 1 Following first reading, Councillor Harry Klungel exclaimed “Is that everything they can say about dogs?” Klungel asked if there was any way they could control the barking of the dogs. Mrs. Oke said the bylaw could not control the barking with one council member adding the only way you could control the barking was to put muzzles on the dogs. r FINCH'S Times-Advpcate, June 15, 1978 Morley.

Maids of honor were Cathy Friday's violence mars Fleck scene are for will our i I The tempo of activities at the strike bound Fleck Manufacturing plant in Huron Park seems to have slackened with only the striking Fleck workers man­ ning the picket lines. Yesterday, a bus carrying approximately 20 non­ strikers plus four cars carrying 16 workers, passed through the main gates at 6:45 a.m. without incident. Making up the picket line were 20 strikers plus Al Seymour and'another of­ ficial from the United Auto Workers. Following the passage of the non-strikers into the plant, the workers on strike congregated at the back en­ trance to the Fleck building where they hurled abuse at the non-strikers who appeared at the windows of the plant. Watching the group were seven Ontario Provincial Police officers stationed in three cars around the plant. The Fleck picketers departed from the plant site at 7:15 a.m. On Tuesday, four police officers were needed to clear a path as non striking workers enter the industrial complex. A convoy of cars and a bus carrying the non-strikers go­ ing into the plant made it through the picket line without problem but a maintenance man bringing five others into the plant was stopped by the picket line.

R.R. 1, GRAND BEND strikers broke free milling pickets and careen­ ed around some gas islands at high speed narrowly miss­ ing another car and some strikers. Violence flared Friday as the bus carrying the,-Fleck workers home aftef their shift had ended, was am­ bushed by a dozen strikers and UAW supporters. The bus was being shepherded out of Huron Park by several OPP cruisers when the attack took place. Ten cars and a van hemm­ ed the bus at a stop while the swift attack took place. In an attempt to hold back the convoy of strikers and friends, two police cruisers travelled slowly side by side down the road behind the bus. The tactic failed when the strikers took a shortcut and leap-frogged ahead of the bus. At every stop the bus made, the striking women were out on the street shouting abuse at the non­ strikers. As a result of the fracas, Kenneth Ross McLeod of London was charged with mischief. The non-strikers arrived for work following a demonstration at the plant in the morning. The surprise demonstration apparently caught the OPP off guard as there were only two cruisers present when the Fleck shift ended at2:30p.m. As a result of the incident, Fleck strikers claimed that they had been threatened with house burnings and violence during the weekend. A number of women strikers went to the Exeter OPP detachment on Monday to make statements about telephone calls they said they received Saturday night. One striker said she made a tape-recording of a call from an unidentified male. •. , Police investigating the alleged threats indicated they were not taking them too seriously. Statements by labour minister Bette Stephenson that said her ministry was actively engaged in getting labor and management talk­ ing again were dismissed as rhetoric by both union and company officials. Seymour the UAW’s inter­ national representative, said his office has not heard anything from Mrs. Stephen­ son since the last meeting took place between the two sides on May 26. Fleck president Fred Berlet expressed similar sentiments and said his company would be willing to meet. The cost of policing the strike continues to be a hot topic of conversation in the provincial legislature with an NDP member calling for the firing of solicitor­ general George Kerr over his handling of police ac­ tivities at Fleck.
