This is part of a scheme to join Peterborough with the four-lane highway west of Newcastle, thus making it unnecessary for To- ronto-bound travellers to head down Highway 28/té Dale Corners. It's net _yet known what route the highway will follow from Peter- borough to Kendry. = Surveyors are looking over this area but as yet no tenders have been called. The Kendry-Enterprise section is indicated in dotted lines on the 1954 department of highways road map. From . Kendry the new two-lane highway, to be known as Highway 115 follows a south-westerly course to Highway 35, just south of Pontypool. It then proceeds south on 35 to a -| junction with four-lane Highway 401. The department of highways is al- ready at work on the section of "the road west of Kendry, and it is now al- most completely graded. -- Paving con- tracts have been awarded and paving will begin as soon as weather permits.

The lastest and most significant of these reports is that which tells of atomic dust be- ing showered on parts of Japan pro- per, nearly 2,000 miles from the scene of the bomb test site at Bikini atoll This report is evidence that the people who have developed these hideous ex- plosives have not produced something -| which they are unable to fully con- trol and which may be doing far greater damage than either they or the world suspects. In view. of these developments the people of the world are bec othing dis- turbed by. the possibility thatthe ill- effects of the bomb explosions may be more wide-spread than is even mow established by the Japanese incidents. There are those who even=noew are asking "To what extent can these atomic and hydrogen bomb tests be tolerated?" And there are those who are of the opinion that no nuclear bomb shoud -be- exploded which con- stitutes a peacetime menace to people anywhere in the "world, There are limits - to. which experiments with de- structive forces can be tolerated and there is evidence that this limit is rapidly approaching. --Lindsay Post. T His BUYERS' MARKET Up until recent times there has been great <emphasis- placed on the rising cost of living. Prices were climbing on most commodities and this, coupled with high taxes and top demands for various services, was leading to the inevitable climax--a_ period of re:ad- justment in which costs would be forced into line with abjlity- to pay. We now appear to be passing through this re-adjustment period and a Buy- crs' market has set in. it In Lindsay there is evidence - that business "people are meeting this transition in a commendable way. Fvery day this newspaper features advertisement from many Lindsay business houses in which substantial savings are being offered the buying public on various commodities. In short it is now possible to buy many items -at prices more in line with our ability to pay. ; Thése conditions should stimulate our interest as consumers and those who are making an effort to bring us services and merchandise at reason- able prices deserve our full support, In patronizing these¢-business people we speed the period of re-adjustment ant stimulate pesdietion in_our fac- tories, - While there are a fewer who are prone to talk depression, the majority of us see in these changing times a great challenge to-be met. And 'that chal- lenges is to give full value for what we receive and to offer the best in services and goods at prices in keep- ing with the public's ability to pay. This challenge must be met not only by businesses and individuals buf by governments' which will be expect- ed to bring taxes to more réasonable levels which in turn would greatly in- crease the nation' s purchasing power. --Lindsay Post i ALICE IN | ORCHESTRALIA ; Maxine Miller is a girl who special: izes in doing voeaJ loops for a living.
