Sunday, May 9th is "Mother's Day" and being a mother and also a grand- mother, I would like to include in this column the following poem- "A MOTHER'S LOVE" A mother's love is some- thing that no one can explain, It is made of deep devotion and of sacrifice and pain, It is endless and unselfish and enduring come what may For nothing can destroy it or take that love away. It is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking, And it never fails or falters even though the heart is breaking, It believes beyond believing when the world around condemns, And it glows with all the beauty of the rarest, brightest gems. It is far beyond defining, it defies all explanation, And it still remains a secret like the mysteries of creation, À many splendored miracle imai caninot unaerstand And another wondrous evidence of God's tender guiding hand.

In this way, it was felt that traffic from Mosport might be channelled to the Bennett Road interchange which would aslo prove suitable, with extension of the Baseline east to Bennett Road, for truck traffic to the industrial Finally, it was noted that some of the Mosport traffic volume will hopefully become channelled via Regional Road 57 and across the reconstruct- ed Regional Road 20 (ninth concession of Darlington) to the raceway. While Mayor Garnet Ric- kard was present at their meeting last week, Bowman- ville Kiwanians got into a brief discussion on the desireability, of one way streets being developed here. Mayor Rickard advised that there had been a report from the region on starting a system of one way streets in Bowmanville but that the Works Committee had turned it down. Kiwanis members and Mayor Rickard appeared in general agreement that with the traffic volume presently facing Bowmanville a King Street-Church Street, one way system is of great necessity. The mayor explained that while Coun. Ken Lyall assures him he is in favor of such a move, he is one of those who opposed the report from the region. Mayor Rickard assured the Kiwanis Club that he will be bringing the matter back up at the Wor-Xs Committee. There was further discus- sion on traffic flow relating to the Liberty Street inter- change, which Mayor Rickard stated council has insisted must remain open when 401 is widened. He explained that council's decision is based not only on the necessity of access to the Flying Dutchman Motor Inn but more specifically on the need as an emergency access for ambulances and or doctors proceeding to Memorial Hos- pital. However, Mayor Rickard did indicate that there is hope of relieving such traffic as that generated by Mosport events, by some other route. In that light, he said that the present Regional Road 57 which replaced the old Scugog Road for large traffic volume was some 20 years in the making. The mayor noted that when he first entered counties council in 1952 he proposed such a road at the west end of Bowmanville but was turned down. In 1959, surveys were finally taken for it but it was not until 1972 that it was opened. Since Mayor Rickard now feels that a similar road is necessary on the east side of town, hopefully it will not take With our increasing popu- lation, the Canadian Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service must collect approxi- mately one million units of blood per year. That means that an average of one unit must be collected about every 6½ seconds of every working day to, maintain an adequate supply of blood and blood products.
