was on hand for the event, and
while not as large as last year,
it was nearly a full house.
The show started in a dark-
ened arena, with a space -mo-
tif being lit up at the north end
of the area. As the lights went
down, eight groups of costumed
skaters, ranging from the first-
year beginners to the seniors,
came onto the ice. With the
house lights on again each
group went through their com-
plicated performances.

Anti -Fireworks BY -laws
Passed at Council Meet
Wingham Council meeting
on Monday evening passed two
by-laws controlling the use and
sale of fireworks within the
town. The first by-law will
prohibit the sale of fireworks
by anyone unless the purchaser
has a permit to set them off.
The second by-law prohibits
the setting off of fireworks on
any day of the year, unless a
permit has been issued by the
town clerk.
The intent of the latter by-
law is to limit the use of fire-
works to organizations or re-
sponsible adults. It comes as
the result of the very success-
ful fireworks display sponsored
by the fire brigade and IocaI
service clubs last year.
Many responsible citizens
have objected to the unlimited
use of fireworks on the grounds
that every year dozens of child-
ren across the province are in-
jured, as well as the annual
fire hazard presented by fire-
crackers in the hands of young-
sters.
The first draft of the by-law
prohibiting the setting off of
fireworks, would have allowed
only organizations to obtain
permits. This was changed to
allow responsible adults to ob-
tain permits as well. Council
did not want to interfere with
a group of parents who might
possibly want to get together
and have a backyard display
for their children.
The by-law will mean that
children will not be able to
purchase fireworks, and set
them off indiscriminately.

cision skating. The two are

fine ovation for their efforts.
