Do you believe there is a real driv- ing danger on Highway 17 between Terrace Bay and Nipigon, Nipigon and Thunder Bay and Nipigon and Geraldton? Control "Tt is my understanding that a government audit was recently con- ducted. I am advised that the audit con- firmed that Kimberly-Clark, has ex- perienced financial difficulties of some magnitude in recent months,"' he said. "*May I respectfully suggest that in this specific instance your government provide financial arrangments to assist the company in installing pollution abatement equipment."' Pouliot went on to say that for two years now he has been personally aware of the commitment made by K- C to ensure a cleaner environment. Pouliot believes it has now become necessary to offer assistance that will enable the company to fulfill its en- vironmental responsibilities while en- suring much needed jobs in our region.

Also, at least 3 lanes between that same junction and Geraldton. Enough lives have already been lost and we demand action now. NAME: Fill out and mail to: The News P.O. Box 579 Terrace Bay, Ont., POT 2WO. Nipigon MPP Gilles Pouliot who has presented them and the problem at Queen's Park in Toronto. A story in the Nipigon Gazette on Jan. 7 said that the petition "was received by the then Minister of Transport and Communications with obvious disinterest, and answered in a manner which showed only contempt for our concern over the lives being lost on our main road."' At present, the Minister of Transpor- tation and Communications, Ed Fulton, has said the problem will be looked at with recommendations forthcoming perhaps by summer. The Gazette reports though that nothing is firm. In the same Gazette story, the ministry quoted that just over 3,000 vehicles use Highway 11-17 between the junction of both highways just east of Nipigon and Thunder Bay. The ministry said that "not enough people were being killed per million miles of travel to warrant a divided highway,' the story said. The Gazette then decided to check figures, and found that twice as many vehicles use that road than the ministry had stated. Also, the year that the ministry con- ducted the survey, 1983, there was on- ly one death on that highway- in 1986 there were nine fatalities. If you want to see something done about the dangerous conditions on these highways, do not hesitate to complete the petition on this page and send it to the News. There will also be petition sheets cir- culated to various businesses in town. The chances of something being done depends on the response to the peti- tions. Don't delay! has rising cadences, sharp dropoffs, a lot of finger fumbling. Hopefully it will rise to dramatic climax, he said. Robertson also played Amazing Grace.
