SPECIAL, CAR FOR MAILMEN
Have you ever watched a mail cour-

out the country?' If you haye, you prob-
ably noticed the dffieulty the. driver of

the hox. -Most of the couriers. try to drive
Iheir ears from the passenger side, a meth-
od v.-hich is probably not the most highly
rec,:nmended from .a safety outlook.
It is. time for the ear manufacturers
ier, and manufacture a spe(•ial ear for
them with all controls on the right side.
But the way W see it, they still face
that one big 'Obstacle, and if the manu-
facturers %,vere to co-operate in 'develop-
ing a new 'style of ear they NV01114 find
themselves In a favorable position With
the rtiral mailman. (,)f course, before any
big devision such as this were to be.under-
taken, it AV011id be necessary to check
with the law to see, if ,cars would be per-
missable on our highways Ivith the eon -

just below the. C.P.R. bridge on
the Maitland River last FridaY
afternoon. George Case, and
Unsworth Jones, two- bays at-
tending the Collegiate Institute,
were in bathing in the vicinity
of the %-pot where a gang of
Italians are making repairs to
one of the abutments of the
bridge. Some trestle work hacf
been erected and Jones, in
jumping off this into about 12
feet of water, got some in his
mouth and was nearly drowned.
He rose to the surface only once,
and fearing danger, Case plung-
ed in after him. He sueceeded
in locating and bringing him
to the surface, where, with the
aid of -a plank thrown to him
by the Italians, he managed to
bring the half conscious youth
to land.
30 Years Ago -1933
The Town Council on Frida
night registered a formal pro
test against the action of th
Collegiate Institute Board in
reducing salaries "only 21,, per
cent." The protest is contain-
ed in the finance committee's re-
port, carried unanimously with-
out protest, and expressing
"profound regret."
The Huron County Council
held its annual picnic at Port
Albert on Tuesday. The day
was ideal, but rather too hot
for vigorous games or sports.
The attendance was good, but
not up to -other years owing
to the heat, no doubt, and a
busy time.

Thron County road report,
presented by Reeve Dan Better
man of IVIcKillop, chairman dur
ing the council session last
week, stated that because the
olcler paved roads in the county
did not come through the win-
ter in good condition, and
many miles are badly in need
of patching, the long-range.pro-
gram in regard to construction
has had to be 'revised.
Plan Construction
County road'6, Highway 4 to
Winchelsea, five Miles, is sche-
duled for,construction this year.
For next, it is planned to do
the eight miles of cottnty road
16, Brussels to Highway 4. Two
projects have priority for 1965:
county read 13 from Clinton
west, 8.5 miles, and three ntiles
from Nile te Dungannon, county'
road 27. Oungannon-Lucknow
is set for 1966, but tlie Base
Line between Summerhill and
Auburn,, 6.5 miles, and three
other projects are subject to
later review.
Roads Cost Money
"High mileage, low assess-
ment and low mill rate just do
not go together," County En-
gineer James Britnell warned.
"Some projects are going to
have to wait until more import-
ant roads are built and until
we can start upgrading the
Deputy Reeve May. Mooney,
Goderich, asked whgt Would
happen if the mill rate were
out. Mr. Britnell said projects
would be cut by one-half or
two-thirds, and proceeded with
on that basis.
The engineer said there are
na plans, so far as he is aware,
for reconstruction of Highway
21 north of Goderich, though
a great length is in need of it.
He warned that "in the ,not
too distant future" considera-
tion mtist be given to replacing
some of the longer bridge spans,
Which could cost up to $250,000
apiece.
"The condition of Huron
county bridges is excellent,"
Mr. Britnell said, "in that the
county has been undertaking
to build two or three 30 feet in
sPan and over, each year for
the past 10 or 15 years, as well
as the construction of approx-
imately Six reinforced concrete
culverts va6ing in span from
10 to 20 feet. We are 'pleased
to report that nearly all of the
74 bridge structures 20 feet'in
span and over on the county
road system are in excellent
shape and with the exception
of a few long bridges over the
Maitland and Bayfield rivers
near Lake Huron, all structures
are gapable- ,of 'carrying full
' The report stated that until
a few years ago the county
only sought quotations apci
ried 'out jobs with its own
forces for many of the services
or materials for which contracts
are now awarded.
'Make Savings
The committee "feels that a
substantial saving was achieved
by calling tenders on a, com-
petitive basis for these services
and Tnaterials, and while it in-
volves a considerable amount
of work in setting specifications.
and carrying out the super-
vision and inspection of the
work awarded by contract, the
saving warrants this extra
work."
