Atkinson The program has been included on the police budget for past few years but each time It was eliminated during budget tions Atkinson This lime It was approved and the sergeant hopes lo work closely wilh the four municipalities chambers of commerce lo gel the program under Currently Sgt Atkinson Is form lag a steering committee which will then guide the Crime Stoppers pro gram In its infancy Crime Stoppers originated In Ed m onion and Sgt Atkinson hopes lo learn from the many programs In surrounding regions including Hamilton which was ihe first region in Eastern Ontario to in the

will continue to be exempt from the pro vince Sunday shopping laws Halton Administration and Finance Committee decided June to extend the exemption for ihe Hide House until March of next year The Bronte tourist area in Oakville Is the only other approved tourist attraction in which Is allowed to open on Sundays and holidays The Olde Hide House was first given the tourist designation which exempted it from Ontario Sunday shopping laws when It opened in I960 Under policies that ex must come under review every two years It was last In September i960 Halton planners had warned the committee that amendments to the provinces Retail Business Holidays Act won be ready until at least this fall and failure to grant the ex ten of the tourist exemption now could leave the businesses without permission open on Sundays and holidays If their tourist designation runs out before Ihe provincial legislation becomes law By granting the tourist designa tions only until March the Region has given Itself a chance review them once the provincial law Is pass ed Once province passes the amendments which will effectively leave Sunday shopping In the hands of the Region Halton will vote on the local option That option allows the Region to grant permission businesses to open on Sundays and holidays regardless of whether or not they are designated as tourist at tractions If take a stand on the issue the tourist designations for the Olde Hide House and for the Bronte special tourist area will automatically be extended for another five years However can take a stand either In favor or against Sunday shopping and Implement it when It likes Olde Hide House President Steve the extension is Just an administrative move until the pro vince passes legislation on Sun day shopping The Hide House attracts about 30 per cent of its annual sales on Sundays said Mr Dawklns About per cent all the Hide House customers come from out side Hills and 85 per cent The tourist exemption is the necessary premise upon which business was founded said Mr WATCH THIS SPACE FOR ALL KIWANIS EVENTS FOR YOUR INFORMATION The Georgetown District Branch of the Red Cross will be CLOSED from JULY 15th to

money the tipster calls back after the monthly meeting and he or she is told to meet one of the board members in a designated location The tipster will then approach the director no names will be give
