S¢mforth council contemplated reg-
ulations governing Seaforth traffic at
its meeting Tuesd,ay evening, Pro-
vincial Traffic ,Officers, who have
noted the habit of motorists of mak-
hag 'U' turns at the corner of Gode-
rich and Main Streets, suggested to

amended to prohibit this practise. As
a result Councillor Keating gave no-
tice that at the aext meeting of coun-
cil he would introduce a bylaw amend-
ing the present traffic bylaws.
Bicyclists will also receive atten-
tion under the proposed. bylaw. At
present there are no regulations gov-
erning their use in the town and on a
