John Jewitt's greatest source of pride is that both he and five generations
of his family are firmly rooted in the soil of Huron County.
"It is difficult for me to express with words my appreciation for Jack
Jewitt. I can say that he will be an Intelligent, respectable, and
responsible representative of the people of Huron and Ontario."
Mr. Simon Hallahan, East Wawanosh
John Jewitt believes that family values have lost their place in society,
and that these ideals need to be reinforced in the Legislature of Ontario
by somebody who represents them in his own life.

AUTHORIZED BY THE C.F.O. FOR THE JOHN JEWITT CAMPAIGN
ANUMMEMMI,
Every year police forces from
across the province and around the
world hold a "law enforcement
torch run" to raise money for the
Special Olympics. These are
Olympic-type games for mentally
challenged adults and youth with
competitions held in several
countries worldwide.
As a way to raise funds this year,
Constable Lincoln Dinning
attended F. E. Madill High School
in Wingham and issued the
following challenge to the students.
"If you can raise a minimum of
$1,000 for the Special Olympics,
you can shave my head."
A teacher at the school thought
this was a good idea and
volunteered to shave his beard off,
if the students double the "fee" and
raise $2,000. The teacher, Andy
Jones, has had his beard since his
late teens, and even his wife has not
seen him clean shaven.
The students plan to sell tickets
for $1 each with a draw being held
for the chance to shave Const.
Dinning's head. The students have
until June 5 to raise the money.
Officers from Wingham and
Goderich OPP, and Goderich and
Clinton municipal police services
will join police services throughout
the province to raise funds for the
Special Olympics.
The Torch Run for this area will
take place June 6, beginning at
Haugh Tire, in Clinton, at
10:30 a.m. This year's local
participants will run from there
through Clinton; go from Zehrs on
the outskirts of Goderich, arriving
there about 11:15 a.m. From Zehrs
they will run to the Square and then
to the municipal police station. At
approximately 1 p.m., they will go
to Colborne Central School, where
arrangements have been made for
the Colborne students to take part.
At 2 p.m. the runners will move on
to Blyth and then to Wingham at
2:45 p.m.
Anyone wishing to participate or
donate may make pledges at either
the Wingham Police Department or
the Wingham OPP. If you would
like to participate contact Constable
Lorra Easterbrook at the Wingham
OPP.

Returning to the May 2 meeting
with frustration and little co-opera-
tion, Dick Edmiston informed West
Wawanosh council that only one of
five neighbouring landowners in St.
Helens on an unopened section of
Mary Ann Street, was interested in
paying to upgrade the street.
Edmiston has contacted the resi-
dents concerning a share of the cost
to repair the street at which time
the township would assume owner-
ship.
Unable to understand why only a
portion of the street is maintained
by the township, Edmiston
expressed frustration for his situa-

getting for his tax dollars.
Council informed Edmiston the
township is not obligated to bring
