AGE 6, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1976, WHITBY.FREE PRESS . Byines WeI! hÎere we are into February, and with the weather the way it is, it's hard to believe that the Farmer's Alnianac hias forecast an early Spring ....middle to the end of March is what it's reckoning on. At this stage l'mi keeping my fingers crossed, and hoping that it is spot on with its predictions. I guess the second warrning thought for this week is that the Town of Whitby, for the second year running, has managed to b ring about a budget that will flot increase our taxes. If only the Regional Councillors and the School Boards could take the example 'and could do likewise, but I guess that is asking for Utopia. 1 rnust admit, tliat tho' I don't like to look a gift horse in the nmouth, 1 can't help feeling that next year is going to see a hefty jump in the Town's taxes. Let's face it, there have to be somne services and repairs that we are doing without now to hold the taxes down which will definitely have to be seen to next year .....nd then what willi h cost? But looking on the' bright side ....next year the Regional Councillors might perform a miracle and decide that they needn't increase their expenditures! That of course goes for the School Boards as well. 1 did receive a note frorn Meadowcrest School this week. It seemis that students in the Public School system hlad a day off on Jan. I 3(l. Whilc they wcre on holiday their teachers attendcd workshops i n Engi ish, Physics, Education and Science. The tcachers have,' been irnpressed with the quality of. a nuLîber ol' workshops that have been mnade available t'O themi this school year. A caller this weck expresscd conccrn 'for some of our chiidren, t hose thiat get off' the sctîooi bus ai No. 7 and No. 12. It seemis tdu thc crossing liit on the traffic signais isn't working, andti ta the chiidrcn, and other pedestrians of course, coniinually get the 'Don't Cross' signal even tlio' the liglits niay bc showing green. Couid someone 'in tIhe know' ulase, look into this ....we waited a long tinie for those lights ....ct's have then in fuîll working order. And I've hiad yet another caîl concerning the lack of use of the Brooklin Arena at the Tuesday and Thursday preschoolers skating sessions. Once and for ail, the Arena is open on these days between 10 and 11I a.m. and again between 2 and 3 p.m. jtîst for preschoolers and their mothers. As the Arena has, uptil now been very empty on these days why not take the opportunity for somne reiaxing m-id-week skating ....free of charge. It is an ideal opportunity ...which couîd very well conîe to an end if more use isn't made of the facility. And taiking of ice ....have you tried to waik along the sidcwalk on the main road? 1 tried the other day ...and found that the highway was a great deal safer ....traffie and ail. I fully realise that we had a very trying winteér, and that the freezing ramn the other week didn't help. But some areas of those sidewalks are a real mess. The corner of Cassels and Baldwin is extremneiy bad. I know the Bank bas moved to the other side of the road ....but surely they are still responsible for snow clearing around the old building. And I also realise that the Antique Store next door is only open for weekends. But 1 don't think that lets them off the 1100k either. And 1 don't know who has the responsibiiity for that stretch of land south of the Drug store ....but someone must have. I know it is hard work....but I can only say it is hard work at the momfent to patronise some stores. Please help...pedestrians will be most grateful... and to those *who have managed to keep their patch of sidewalk clear ...many thanks. Brooklin and Dist. Kinsmen will be holding their Formation Night on March 5th at Heydenshore Pavillion. Tickets aire $1 5 a couple and include refreshments, dance and ceremnonies.
