Cr. Fixit tries
As parents, .I would, Jaz-.
and a guess that most of us.
expect, that at sonic point in
the future we will babysit
for our kids. Our turn came
last week when Number.
One Son and Number One
Daughter-in-law were holi-
saying. Mr. Fixit offered to 'babysit for..
cight'days, and of course I agreed it would
n't by a problem, at ieast,forus. For the par-
ents, it will probably take them a good
week to undo all the spoiling our 'grandson'
received. and they may regret leaving him
with in.
It was an interesting week, to pout it mild-
ly. Mr. Fixit was,' initiated into that world of
regular feedings, ponying, and entertaining.
The first.day in our home, the 'grandson'
decided to kind of sulk; not eat and whine a
lot. He missed his parents.
'Grandpa' started td 'worry declaring,
'fie has to eat." My theory was he'd eat
when he was hungry.- But gramps. decided,
some coddling .was in order and, set about
preparing a dish that couldn't be refused by
our 'grandson".
Regular trips to the potty with his 'grand-
,son'. were handled by Mr Fixit with 'no
complaining. They went for walks together,
enjoying the'milder weather and the hint of
spring in the air They • played ball, together
and . Watched TV together and 'gram's' lov-
ingly tucked himin each night.
In' the evening, our 'grandson' enjoyed a
Wilder /play time after dinner wearing off
some -more of his energy before bedtime: It
was at these times that .he decided he really
loved hisgrandma'''and`insisted`on a time
of cuddling while sitting on my knee.

Dear editor,
The success of 1VIADD
Huron/Bruce's' "Red Ribbon
Campaign 1996" shows that
the concern of citizens and'
visitors to the towns, •vil-
lages, and rural areas of the
counties of Huron and
Bruce, .regarding the perva-
sive problem of impaired:
driving, continues' to grow'
Over $3000 was raised in
this campaign, 100 per cent
of which will be used local-
ly to aid in the fight .against
impaired driving, the most
common form of potentially
violent crime in our society
oncern
MAID strives to change
prevalent attitudes to the
operation of . all forms .of
vehicles and machinery,
including ' automobiles,
watercraft, snowmobiles,
motorcycles, ATVs, and
farm machinery by persons
impaired: by the use of alco-
hol or other drugs.
Progratns include visits
to schools, workplaces and
community groups to pre-
sent the facts about
impaired driving and the
terrible consequences.
involved'* both to individu-
als and society. MADD and
its friendslobby govern-
ment at ,all levels for neces-
sary and appropriate legisla-

proper enforcement . of
eyiisting legislation and sen-
tencing of convicted
impaired drivers to a degree
reflecting the severity of
their crime. MADD serves
the victims of drunk drivers,
including family members
of the drinking driver, and
is often the only support
line these victims have.

Answering criticism
arising from the
"bingo ban', Hon. Leslie
Blackwell, Attorney
General of Ontario* pointed
out that: the law banning
bingo, lotteries, and draws is
prodded for in ,the Criminal~
Code .of Canada, ' and
provincialr
authorities are
simply enforcing a
Dominion decree.
There is an exception
that a bingo may be occa-
