The mothers carried placards reading "Help Us Prevent a Tragedy", "Help Protect Our Children", -Wellave Had All We Can Take", etc. The demon- stration, which was peaceful and quiet was organized to focus attention on disputes in the township and to express dissatis- faction with the handling of several incidents that have taken place over the past two years or more. The group decided to demonstrate following an incident last Tuesday evening • when three young boys were harassed while driving a tractor and wagon on the 10th concession of Ashfield Township. A car passed the tractor, slowed down and forced it off the road. When the boys cut across the field to avoid the car, they could not get back on the road. Police were called and although there were tracks ,in several places which would show' what had happened, the investigating officer did not look at them. Aftei demonstrating at the Courthouse, they moved to the Ontario Provincial Police de- tachment south of Goderich where they walked around the building until two spokesmen were allowed in to discuss the situation with police officers Cpl. D. G. Graham and Cpl. R. M. Primo. They left when the police told them they would set up a meeting •with the. Crown Attorney, police officials and spokesmen for the demonstra- tors as soon as possible, and then picketed outside the' farmhouse. The delegation had a meeting with the Crown Attorney and Provincial Police officials at the Crown Attorney's office, 2nd floor of the Court House, Goderich on. Friday morning, May 27 at 10 a,m. They have been assured that they are also concerned. All details cannot be released but the matter is considered serious and everything possible will be done.
