It is understOod that at least one farm which lies in the line • of the new route has already been purchased by the Department of Highways. The proposed change will elimi- nate the present stretch of the road which crosses the Maitland. at the Bluevale mill, follows the south bank of the river for abqut three' miles and re-crosses to the north, side near the farm of Turnberry Reeve John Fischer, Instead the highway will cut directly across country from the village of Blue- vale to the point where the pm sent road returns to the north side of the river at the Fischer farm. formed exactly as • man's. Since comparatively little of this infor- mation is presently available,, it has sometimes been difficult to, de- tea internal abnormalities. `X=ray research at OVC now is filling in many of 'tile gaps.
