On another occasion last
week an officer observed two
children riding on another busy
highway on the wrong side of
the road. Nothing happened,
but if a vehicle had sped along
while the children were on the
highway, the results could have
been disastrous, Were these
your children? Instruct them
about bicycle safety before it is
too late.
Here are a few important
rules to follow:
Ride on the RIGHT side of
the street -- move with traffic
and stay close to the curb.
Riding bicycles other than in
single file in unlawful and dan-
gerous.
Riding after dark is danger-
ous. Wear something white or
reflective. (This also applies
at dusk.)
Do not carry riders. They
block your vision and throw you
off balance.
Stop, look and listen before
entering the street from a side-
walk, alley or driveway.
Remember - Be polite, be
helpful, be gracious. Drive
like a good host.

Meaford eliminated in
two straight by Pee Wees
Billy Hilbert's run scoring
triple in the eighth inning put
the Wingham Pee Wees in the
All-Ontario quarter-finals
against Preston. Hilbert' s triple
scored Bill Brown from second,
giving Wingham a 6-5 win over
Meaford which eliminated them
in two straight games. Wing-
ham won the first game 26-2 at
home last Wednesday and put
the series away on Friday in
Meaford.
Brown led the way in Wed-
nesday's rout nailing the Mea-
ford pitchers for a triple, a dou-
ble and a pair of singles in five
trips, Jeff Lockridge also con-
nected for a triple, double, and
two singles in six appearances. ,
Doug Leitch added a triple and
a pair of singles while pitcher
Donnie Murray slashed a home
run and two singles.
The locals scored to 5-0 af-
ter one inning on Friday, but
tight pitching by Meaford's Bel-
anger held them scoreless until
the eighth. The hosts closed
the gap with a single run in the
second and two more in the
sixth. They tied the game with
a pair of runs in the final inn-
ing and put the contest into ov-
ertime, setting the stage for
Hilbert's hit. Brown led off the
top of the eighth with a single,
advanced to second on Donnie
Murray's outfield fly and scored
on Hilbert's triple.
Doug Leitch picked up three
singles in the win while Bruce
Skinn, Brown and Hilbert each
garnered two hits. Brown's oth-
er hit was a grand slam home
run in the first inning.
