***After reading last wee x s column, a lady asks us what we have

be on the lookout for new yield signs about town. Apparently they
are putting them up here and there and, hejeels if people are made
aware of them, there will be less difficulties. We did take a couple of
• calls from people wanting to know why they weren't warned about
those traffic islands like the one at Montreal and Elgin. Streets. Well,
it we really don't think drivers have to be given reams of advance
notice on such things. .

.***And big bouquets to members Of the local I.O.D.E. Seems the
group had two ladies at last week's council meeting and plan on
sending a couple of. their representatives to the town ,daddies''
chambers each week, "just to see what's going on." Sounds like a
*real good idea; perhaps if more local groups would take the town
interests to heart council membets would beP.bing, to full houses
every week. So far he only real spectators we've seenat these
• meetings have been *Mr. and Mrs. R. Hay -don, who seem to take a
keen interest in local affairs. '

***Motorists are reminded that studded snow tires must be off
*cars by April 30, which means you have nine more days,left. And if
• the government gets its way (and doesn't it usually?).that,will be the
end of studded tires onOntario highways. The pros and cons of
studs are many. Personally," we do think they are helpful but if the
damage' 'they are doing to our highways is as the government wheels
• say, then let's get rid of them. 47
***And back to that -traffic island- again. Would you believe that
- there is a stipulation in one ofthe town's bylaws whereby such
temp&ary'struceures must be removed during a council meeting?.
•Town...fathers aren•!.t taking.. the order too—seriously, as a matter of
fact it's a standing joke around town hall. If the order were to be
'enacted the only alternative we can see is to have Harry Worsell draw
up a roster and appoint a different council membereach week to
pick up the traffic island .before ebuncil meeting..We!re still not sure
•
where one is supposed, to put- it but imagine that if it were enforced
our town claddies'would certainly find a place!
