The club is one of the activities that Gordon MeMahon star- ted in 1946 when he was recreation director of the Town of Whitby. The club met in the library for a short time and then in the council chamber of the old town hall. When it was demolished the club moved to the King Street Public School, then to St. John's Chur- ch and, finally, to the Centennial Building where it meets to this day;ý There are four char- ter members still alive and active in the club today: Helen Spratt; Madge Wilson; and, Frank and Laurie Wells. Frank Wells was the director of the club for 20 years and during the mid-1950's wrote a bridge column for a local newspaper. Since the members of the club voted some years ago not to join the American Contract Bridge League (A.C.B.L.) players can't earn master points. In- stead, the club has remained a social one but this doesn't mean the players go without recognition. In 1971, Harvey and Donalda Harvey (members since 1951) donated a trophy to be awarded to the player with the high average score for the season. The club has a banquet and party at Christmas and a closing banquet and party in May. At the closing, the trophy and other prizes are awarded and the election of officers for the upcoming -year is held. This year's executive is: Pat Davies, past- president; George Magvas, president; Sam Spencer, vice- president; Inez Maun- drell, secretary- treasurer; Margarite Steffler, assistant * THE REGIONAL MUNICIPALITy DDD) OFDURHAM DUJRHAM NOTICE 0F PUBLIC MEETING TAKE NOTICE that the Region of Durham is con- sidering passing a by-law to name Regional Road Number 23 as "Lake Ridge Road" except for the portion of the road known as Mara Road, Osborne Road and Simcoe Street in Beaverton.

This train will run parallel to the C.P.R. tracks from Thickson Rd. We are aIl for progression and do not object to this needed service. However, many homeowners in the immediate vicinity object strenuously to the proposed co n- struction of a marshalling yard and maintenance facility for this service. The proposed large site, directly south of Grand Oak Homes and the Ken- dalwood Area, Hawkstone, Powell etc. is bounded by Cadburys, Thornton Rd., C.P.R. tracks and is north of 401. The marshailing yard, if located in this particular area, wouid generate undue noise, and visual impact on the community. There are alter- nate sites. If you have any questions, ideas, input, information etc., please caîl Bill Walsh at 579-9265.

PARKETTE FENCE Two weeks ago our president, Colin Duddridge, attended the operations committee meeting and presented a petition to the cornmittee for the in- stallation of a safety fence for the park on Nichol. The response frorn our members of. council was en- couraging. It has now been confirmed that a safety fence, 260 feet of three-foot high wooden fencing will be installed. This would contain wolmenizeci material such as the play apparatus that already exists in the park. The fence would be constructed of six by six cen- tre posts, eight feet apart and joined by two-inch by six inch planking. The pleasure fence will permit an open view to the park, while providing enough height- to prevent would be toboganners from sliding on the road. We wish to thank the operations comrnittee for their immediate response to the requests of area residents. The fence is desperately needed for safety reasons. Thank you.
