Stephen Givlin, Kitchener, had not been in the village for a num- ber of years. He went down the Old Highway route (River Hill Road) to cross the iron -bridge, not knowing that it was closed. The road was se icy that he could not turn his car around, let alone get up the hill again. He went to George Bell to tow him upwith his truck. George knew that if he went down, he'd never get up a- gain, either. It ended' up by Givlin paying Bell $5 to sand the River Hill Road to the old bridge so that he could drive up again. It has been reported that Thomas Castle had complained becausa he could not drive to and from his fish shanty on account of the icy condition, but that nothing was done about it - Perhaps the recent election in Stanley Township upset authority somewhat, but is a visitor to pay $5 to sand our roads?
