YOLUME 60, NUMBER 23 TO ‘BOMB‘ WESTON TONIGHT AND $A Police Taking Action To Cut Down Accidents In an effort to cut down on acâ€" cidents on the residential streets in the town of Weston, the police department is taking measures that will safeguard the lives of Weston citizens from the youngest to the oldest. Statistics show, police say, that the largest causes of traffic acciâ€" dents on residential streets are the parkingâ€" of cars on both sides of busy streets and persons, particuâ€" larly children who run out from behind parked cars. _ "With that in mind, we are inâ€" troducting a gradual program by which we are going to limit the parking to one side on heavy trafâ€" No Shortage Of Water Here Although restrictions were imâ€" posed on water users in surroundâ€" ing municipalities after only two days of warm weather, the town of Weston has had none imposed and will not likely have to do so, Mr. A. G. Peirson, secretaryâ€" treasurer of the Weston Public Utilities said Monday. He stated that Weston had never had to restrict the use of water in the town in its history, as far as he knew. * With four wells now in operaâ€" tion, it is not expected that the town will have a water shortage this year, Mr. Peirson said.

"This will apply particularly to those streets which the children use when going to or from schools." For the present time, the proâ€" gram will entail the elimination of parking on Cross Street on the East side from Coulter to Church, on the south side of Church St. from Rosemount Ave. to Elm St., (signs have already been erected from Main Street to Rosemount Ave.), and on King St. from Roseâ€" mount Ave. to Pine St. on the north side. At the same time, the flow of heavy traffic is to be eliminated on the residential streets which have been used by many trucks as short cuts through the town. "In order to eliminate the moveâ€" ment of heavy trucks on side streets,"" Chief Robertson said, "heavy traffic will be prohibited on all streets with the exception of Lawrence Avenue, Main Street, Jane Street, and Denison Road East, except for the purpose of making deliveries. In the case of deliveries, vehicles will be required to be routed by the closest street on which heavy traffic is perâ€" mitted." _ Heavy traffic is defined as a vehicle over three tons in weight, including the load, it wus.explained In addition to these plans of acâ€" tion, the department has about twenty signs to be erected at or near schools to warn drivers to take extra precautions because of children in the neighbourhood. walking the dog, which he has owned since it was three months old, on a leash riéar his Glenholme Ave. home. The dog sighted anâ€" other, also on a leash, and in the ensuing affray, which Matthews tried to break up, Colonel Lee turned on Matthews, attacking him. Now behind barbed wire, the dog is still in an angry condition, pound attendants said today. Mrs. Matthews said the Chow Chow was the pet of the couple since it was a puppy. "This has never happened before, and it is hard to understand why Colonel Lee would get so angry," she caid. Matthews â€" suffered â€" superficial cuts to his stomach, torn flesh of both arms and an especially deep cut to his right wrist, hospital attendants said. For the grownâ€"ups, a white eleâ€" phant table will make it possible to find some small antique, or the little gift needed for a coming birthday. Mrs. C. Jackson and Mrs. G. K.

No reason for the delay was given by the Ontario Hydro when they informed the local commission. According to most reports the conversion programme is ahead of schedule in many sections. â€" Howâ€" ever, this may be offset by other sections being behind schedule.

A car mounted the sidewalk of the railway subway on Main St. North last Friday, May 25th, turned and struck a loaded RCAF bus when the driver of the car took a seizure and lost control of the vehicle. The accident happened about 8.15 a.m. Leonard Warn, 33 years old, of 6 Elmhurst Drive, was proceedâ€" ing south on Main St. in his vehicle when he suffered a seizure.
