Period of grace offered
_Parking.. meters.. to return
to main street this month
The meter heads should
begin sprouting from posts
along Wingham's main
street during the coming.
week, as the town reverts to
metered parking in the
business district.
However, in deference to
those who may have been
spoiled by the free parking,
the town plans to offer a
period of grace before it
starts handing out parking
tickets.
At Monday night's council
meeting, James Currie,
chairman of the police
committee, reported the
meters have been over-
hauled and are ready for
installation. Council ac-
cepted the committee's
suggestion of May 10 as a
target date for re-
installation, with en-
forcement to begin June 1.
During the interim, police
will issue courtesy notices
warning drivers that en-
forcement of the Meters will
begin in June.
Mr. Currie said his
committee is very conscious
of the sensitivities of some
people about the pros and
cons of parking meters, but
it feels that for a nickel an
hour they are the most af-
fordable and effective way to
regulate parking on the main
street.

doctors to consult specialists
about their patients.
He also proposed that,
after maintenance costs are
deducted, the town should
donate meter revenue to a
local worthy cause.
"We wanted to put the best
light possible on this," he
explained.
Reeve Joe Kerr, head of
the works committee, ob-
jected that when the meters
were installed originally the
revenue from them was
intended to help pay the
costs of clearing snow along
the main street, but he got no
Posture Week
is proclaimed
WinghaM has joined with
several other communities
in Ontario in proclaiming
May 1-7 as Posture Week.
The official declaration
was made by Mayor William
Harris on Monday when he
signed the proclamation at
the Town ball.
The purpose of Posture
Week is to inform the public
about correct postural habits
