Constable Harry V. Bergen, patrolling Main St., spotted a car without lights coming from the lot of Larry Snider Motors Ltd. He chased the vehicle down Simcoe street where it was abandoned. The two occupants scat- tered in opposite directions. A search by police officers of the area failed to locate them. The car, a 1959 model, was one of the used vehicles on the Snider lot, Reg. $30.40 NOW ONLY Construction be Another major undertaking by the dep't of highways com- menced in the area recently when workmen started cutting down trees on highway 21, south of Grand Bend, It is the first step in an ex- tensive $731,000.00 construction job that will see the highway widened for a distance of over nine miles. The narrow bridge at the "cut" is also being replaced and the two sharp curves south of the bridge will be re- moved. H. D. Glennie, assistant engineer at the Chatham divi- sion, told The Holiday that the. entire construction job would be carried on through the winter months, with paving expected towards the end of next summer. He reported that culvert and rebuildng of the highway would be carried on this winter along with the work on the new bridge. south of the resort. The work is being done, by Peel Construction, Brampton, who have sub-let the bridge contract to Gaffney Construc- tion, Stratford. Widen road The road, which was once only a winding, sandy trail through the Pinery, will be widened to make the right of way 100 feet. Workmen started removing the trees this week and passing motorists were amazed at the speed at which the job was be- ing done. The trees are all cut down with chain saws and the logs are sawed into smaller lengths. The branches and twigs are fed through a large chopping machine and are blown back onto the side of the ditch. This is the second major construction job to be, under- taken on the highway near the resort, as a stretch of road from the northern limits of St, Joseph is now being readied for paving, Mr. McCue, an engineer At the property branch of the Lon- den office, also reported that plans were well under way for the construction of the. new four-lane bridge at Grand Bend's main intersection, S bridge construction will be right at the main corner and the dep't has already purchas- ed Manore's garage. Although McCue stated that final plans for the straighten. mg of highway 81 coming in from Parkhill had not been made, but it is expected to come straight through at the first turn at the village limits. The Manore building will be torn down, as will the old store to the rear and the Hay Muni- cipal Telephone office, As yet, no word has been re- ceived as to whether or not any of the houses on the south side of the bridge will be torn down. However, much of the bank at the property of Emery Steb- bins will be used and the beautiful flower gardens at his place will undoubtedly be de- stroyed. When the bridge is started next year, a bailey bridge will probably be stretched across the east side of the present structure. At any rate, area residents and frequent visitors will no- tice considerable change at the highways leading to and in the summer resort within the next couple of years. From 1951 to 1961 the ave- rage manufacturing wage in Canada increased from $1.25 to $1,90 an hour, —Continued from page would be a provided public service anti the expense could be justified on that basis." Councillor Farrow: "The suc- cess of the project hinges upon the amount of support the com- mittee receives. if the public supports it, :then it, would be- cattle part of the recreation program." Although the costs of a swim- ming program already are be- ing underwritten under the .Kinmen's playground budget, Farrow suggested there would. be additional expense in the hiring of a lifegnard to super- vise swimming in the pond, as well, Clerk Pickard; "Is it felt that the present program is not sat- isfactory," ile said be. had noted reports which indicated quite a. few children were p a s s i g swimming tests through the in- struction given at the pond, Goman: "My personal °M- ilian is that we are very fern'. nate in not having had a drown- ing at the pond because it is difficult for the lifeguards to see the children when the water is muddy", 'He said there were a number of parents w h wouldn't sett l their children to the pond for that reason.. Councillor Taylor wondered if IL might be possible to put the pool inside the arena to extend the season for which it could be used. Inspector Goman noted that in other areas, council started the campaign off with a sub. stantial donation, "I think it would be nice if this council would do the same. Perhaps a grant of $5,000?" Named t the ,pool committee were Councillors Wooden and Musser. In other business, council: Received a sidewalk petition from residents of Sanders St. east; School officer —Continued from page 1 the new safety service, school officials have requested co- operation of the parents in in- structing their children to cross at the patrol corner. It was pointed out that the school board's insurance coverage for students will apply when they cross under supervision, Child- ren will not be protected if they cross elsewhere. Times of supervision have been established as follows: 8.30 to 9.10 a.m.; 11,30 to 12.00, 12.45 to 1,15 p.m. and 3.30 to 4.00. The school board has been concerned about the children's safety at the corner for some time. The move to secure supervision was taken after the department of highways turned down a request for a stop light at the corner. Drive as if all children were your own.
