When I asked my five-year- old granddaughter what she would do if she was approach- ed by a stranger, she said, " .We're supposed to run to somebody's house but if I didn't know the person, I couldn't do it."

"The OPP will be checking for uncovered loads travelling along the road. You're sup- posed to have every load covered," said Hensall clerk, Betty Oke.

It could be anyone travelling along the road," said Mrs. Oke. Councillor Richard Packham said the person responsible for picking up the village's garbage should be notified about the problem.
