Members of council heck: stated that the cost to the ton for a new bridge should not ex- ceed $35, Iii?c', but surely this should not obscure the fact that the full cost of the bridge would be at east $350, 00,..?. This is a large amount of public money, collected from all taxpayers, and it is not sufficient that it simply be considered from the standpoint of "removal of an eyesore". Consideration of the func- tional value of this bridge could suggest an altogether different location, The approach from the north to the present bridge is "blind" from both directions, too narrow for plowing or for a proper sidewalk. It is steep and slippery when wet. It is a ha- zard to pedestrians and motor- ists alike and it has already been the scene of several ac- cidents. A new bridge in the same location will do little to re- move this hazard, Is it sens- ible to spend so much money with such unsatisfactory over- all results? A new location should be considered. By swinging the highway somewhat to the west at a point just north of the Brewer's Retail store the river could be crossed some distance downstream from the present MacKenzie bridge and the northern approach could sweep through open fields, well to the west of all buildings locat- ed on Josephine Street, and re- join the present highway near the intersection of North and Josephine Streets. Let it be hoped that those who have the responsibility of making this decision give full consideration to utility, safety and long range requirements. Is it not a fact that, in due course, this one bridge could handle the traffic now shared by two bridges only two or three hundred yards apart? Yours sincerely, D.C. Nasmith 0--0--0 April 22, 19E4 Dear Mr. and Mrs. Wenger, I would like both personally and on behalf of the Wingham Business and Professional Wo- men's Club to express ourgrate- ful thanks to you for all your wonderful help in the presenta- tion of our Fashion Show on April 15th.

Beautiful—yet every inch is practical. For instance, push that button on the dash. Look in the rear view mirror. Meteor's Breezeway rear window is gliding down. Lower it just a little to counteract misting. Lower it the whole way for lots of fresh air—without that wind- tunnel effect. And because the rear window slants inward, weather can't get at it .. , can't obscure your rear vision, summer or winter. Meteor's size is beautifully right, too. It's a full 215.5 inches Iong (take six giant steps.) It's wide (two giant steps). You enjoy a smoother, more stable ride, and far easier handling. And the interior is as big as the feeling you get when you drive a' Meteor.
