It is Boy Scout Apple Day again and the Whitby Cub and Scout Packs will be out in strength, raising funds for their year's activities.

CONGESTION HEALTHY i Congestion, he maintained, is } usually a healthy sign that de- notes vital business activity, but it is unhealthy if the town centre is choked and business dies | Whitby's Brock and Dundas) intersection, the Chamber was! told, carries an average of 800) cars an hour, yet business is going to the shopping centres on the outskirts. This, he said, was common in the cluttered, con- gested town's and cities. There is, he said, no easy solution to Whitby's problems. | It calls for energy, co-operation | and the courage to sacrifice old) prejudices and notions. 3-POINT PROGRAM To redirect the flow of traffic | back to the town centre, Mr./ Walker suggested a three-point) program: (1) Assure easy access by) wiping out curb-side parking, widen streets where possible. | pull out pavking meters and) put up no parking signs, and improve traffic control (2) Offer free parking to downtown shoppers. and place strategically located parking lots throughout the business! section. (3). Spruce up the downtown) area to assure attractive and efficient shops that will give) shoppers an alternative to ster- | ile, dull shopping centres. "After all," he said, "the town 'centre has the natural ad-| vantages of being at the cross-| roads." MERCHANTS. MUST ACT "The problem should not be left to provincial and federal | powers for they already con-/ tribute a large portion of their budgets on roads and highways. | The merchants themselves must | decide to act to save Whitby's downtown area."
