what society is coming t' , doesiet
it? Or do you age?
Seems a 19 -year-old Guelph
woman, who was recently charged
with committing an indecent act,
after walking topless on city
streets, is determined to fight her
case on the basis of gender
discrimination under the Charter
of Rights. The part-time student
has no fear of ridicule and
strongly believes women should
have the right to walk around
topless if they choose? Well,
everyone is entitled to their own
opinion.
The charge was laid mid-July,
on a day where temperatures

be because since the beginning of
time it has been ingrained in us
that women cover up 'their "sweat

in a nudist colony,, or on one of
those European beaches where
topless sunbathing is permitted.

Speeding in Kincardine
Citizens who were on Queen Street
on Saturday -evening (and there
were many of them) say the Kincar-
dine
incardine' Review, were forced to take to
the stores in a hurry when a large
Baby Grand touring' car containing
three young men well-known in
town, came over the brow of the
hill at the town hall, and at a rate
estimated by many to. be 50 miles
an hour, tore along Queen Street.
We ,. understand one citizen was
almost claimed for a victim. Chief
Farrell was immediately called, and
after a chase in another car landed
the runaways on the outskirts of the
town. Their names and license
number were taken and a charge
laid against them with Crown Attor-
ney
ttorney Dixon at Walkerton.
