Deal’ .Sir: • It lias been drawn to my at­ tention by .taxpayers, the near tragedies created at the corner of East and Ontario Sitoeiets, when school gets out and the children pour across this speed;, way. The time of 4.00 p.ip- seems. to stand ouf tremendous­ ly- Jt seems. ^t this hour then© is no police1 patrol ait this cor­ ner, .nor school safety patrol (school pupil) and-hasn’t been for some time. During this hour even With the change of police z 200 Persons At Htironview Centennial Tea Over 200 persons registered at the Huronview Ladies Aux­ iliary Centennial- Tea and Ba­ zaar at. the home last Wednes­ day afternoon, April 26. There was an excellent response to . the items offered, at the bazaar. Four residents of HuroriViiew who have or will reach their 100th birthdays in'this Centen­ nial year, were presented with engraved silver dollars. The 100 year old celebrants, their foamer homes and their birthdays are as follows: Dun­ can Stewart, Hens'all, who was. born January'14, 1867;’ John Mitchell. Hensall, February 7. 1867; Mrs. Maria Philips, Ash­ field Township, October 26,1867, and Mrs. Helen Dalrymple, Clinton, November 1, 1867. Guests to the Centennial tea were welcomed 'by Mrs. Nor­ man Clairmont, Goderich, presi­ dent of Huronview Ladiies Aux­ iliary and Mrs. Harvey John- , ston, wife of the manager of Huronvigw. They were dressed "in Centennial costumes. Pouring tea during the after­ noon were .Mrs. Louis Forest, Mrs. L. M. Lublow, Mrs. F. G. Thompson and Mbs. .Carman. Moon. Mrs. Norman Radford, Blyth,, Won the draw on a quilt. shifts, surely either the officer: going off duty at 4 p.m; or the officer’ coming on duty at this, hour could be there. to help rectify this situation for these few minuies. If there is a big problem offered on this, I don't see any problem myself, nor neither do a lot of other peo­ ple. If an officer or, patrol, were th^re from just1 before school is out to 4.30, it would, relieve the problem tremend­ ously. Also ■ at noon horn’s I think the policeman or patrol should be" at fhjs corner before 12 noon, before school gets out, ready.to direct traffic and the safety of the children at 12 noon or shortly after w^ew half pf fha school is out and Mid's have got across the road ~^we hope — safely. The school pat­ rol (if we have1 one) can be there also beforehand in case the policeman is late. Another hem that has been brought up time and time again is. large, white or yellow painti ed school crosswalks on the pavement to help slow down the heavy trucks, transports' -and cars that insist on. using this stretch of the road as a speed­ way. Some don’t see the small Over 50 friends and relatives - helped1 Mr, and Mrs; /Eric Swit­ zer celebrate their silver wed­ ding anniversary at their home on Rattenbury Street last week­ end.

No radar in use, or police­ man, or school patrol, or school 'crosswalks constantly in use, it is a hud situation. We would like to see this situation cor­ rected and if it can't he, there is something wrong-someplace. We are building a beautiful ‘new community centre -and ar­ ena, ..tor the young people and everyone, tor that matter,; so let’s all help keep them alive to enjoy jit this Centennial year, and every year. , Respectfully yours, GEORGE-A.
