Board of -Police Commissioners. Board members decided to see if Wingham Police Chief Robert Wittigcould attend a meeting of the town finance committee later this month with a representative from the Ministry of Transporta- tion and Communications to discuss the matters. Mayor William Harris reported to last week's meeting that town council has turned down a proposal to hire a crossing guard at the corners of Patrick and Josephine Streets. However council still is considering the possibility of installing a cross -walk at the site. Commissioner Margaret Bennett said she is con- cerned about how many parking spaces would be lost at the corner if a cross -walk were to be installed. Wingham Police Chief Robert Wittig said he is not sure how many spaces might be lost and added he would be interested in meeting with a representative of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications over the proposal.

Chairman Jack Gillespie asked Mr. Adams to see if the chief -could attend that meeting. In another matter Mr. Harris asked what the speed limit on the main street is, adding there has been some concern it is too fast. The speed limit is 50 kilometres, or 30 miles, is, hour, answered the chief, but it can be lowered by a bylaw. He cautioned against doing so however because it could back up traffic even further. "Thirty miles per .hour looks faster than it is," said the chief, who added he has noticed no increase in speeding on the main street. However the police will continue to use the radar gun to catch main street speeders. The board received a letter from Wingham Councillor Tom Miller about allegations he had made earlier this year regarding the clear- ance rate for Wingham po- lice officers. Mr. Miller said the statistics he referred to are contained in an Ontario Police Commission Report. Comments he made at the January town council meeting concerned two 469 Josephine St., Wingham 357-3830 charts only in the report, "as they are the only charts in the report dealing with clearance rates". "I must add that Coun- cillors have no control over what the media chooses to print or;'how- they interpret. As a result, misun- derstandings can easily occur through editing by a third party." Mr. Gillespie suggested filing Mr. Miller's letter "rather than beat this thing into the ground". The other board members agreed. The board spent one hour in a committee hof -the -whole session to discuss employee benefits with a represen- tative of the Ontario Municipal Employees Re- tirement System.

The first guest was Mrs. Hilde Morden, a public speaker active in the Women's Institute and Women for the Support of Agriculture: In her talk she told the delegates that to spread out the work and develop the talents of members, one first must gain experience, be creative and show leadership. Bill Culp, head of com- munications at Ridgetown College of Agricultural Technology, had "Motiva- tion" as his topic. He stress- ed not to trust assumptions about what motivates indi- viduals within the organiza- tion. He also explained how to go about motivating mem- bers and be a good leader. Ed Kincaid spoke on "Positive Communications" and said people are divided into four groups: positive, amicable, analytical and driver. After giving a few examples he concluded his portion by telling how he was blinded in an accident and said he finds communication is even more important now to him without his eyesight. Cindy Lindsay had "Media, Relations" as her topic, and gave an interesting talk on how organizations can use the media in a positive and constructive way.
