local residents and around district council tables as to possible changes and improve ments in road changes both by the provincial highways depart ment and the county road com mission it is a known fact that the county road north up the 8th concession of whitchurch and then south to no 7 highway is to be completely widened and ulti mately paved giving another avenue from the city to lake siincoe much of the work has already been completed on the northern stretches of this road in the alt albert baldwin and sutton area there has been considerable speculation for some time concern ing the future of highway 47 which ends in stouffville at the cnr tracks dumping provincial traffic onto the county road to be carried south to no 7 great changes have taken place in the highway from lincolnville to goodwood and these changes are now laid out and stakes planted from lincolnville south to stouft ville from there on the story is a mystery and no word has been forthcoming from the highways department as to their intentions main story has been that the highway would be continued south to no 7 the highways depart ment taking over the 10th con of markham however investigation proves this to be pure speculation a corner problem would result at the eastend should this change be made coming even closer home reeve ogden commented at the hist regular municipal council meet ing that so far all efforts had failed to have the york county commission hardtop the stretch of main st from the 10th con corner east to the town limits county engineer harvey rose gave definite assurances more than two years ago that thus would be done but so far the com mission has failed to come through on their promise this particular roadway and for that matter the entire stretch to the s harris farm where york and ontario county road systems join is continually liad stouffville residents are most particularly interested in the portion lying within the town limits where dust is little short of terrific in the summer and the roughness would hake many a jalopy to pieces there are going to be some lucky farmers in whitchurch markham pickering and uxbridge townships during the next few months their names will be re vealed from time to time through the tribune feature which stars in this newspaper shortly and which is known as the lucky farm photo quiz this is how it

the letter that was written to frances to be forward ed on it takes so long to write a letter that to duplicate often takes much time the countries we are calling at now leave one with mixed feelings life is so different to what we know leaving israel our next call was cyprus there wasnt too much to see there so we took short drive across the island then returned to the ship the main purpose of our call there was to pick up a plane load of passengers wlio had flown from beirut to old jerusalem then to cyprus from cyprus we sailed through the greek islands along the south and west coasts of greece and up to corfu corfu is a greek island and the people apparently had not seen many cruise ships for there were hundreds lining the docks to greet us all of the automobiles on the island average model 1025 had been commandeered to drive cooks party about the island this was the first cooks shore excursion we had given up and we couldnt get a car so went by horse and democrat it was a real experience our driver spoke only greek so of course we had to use mostly sign language corfu is a land of former grandeur the austrian and continental nobility used to spend holidays there there are many fine old places all fallen into disrepair old land scaped and terraced gardeas all overgrown the people are all very poor but never have i exper ienced a warmer reception a smile or a wave brought instant response from young and old alike it is astounding how much a smile means and how little we use it a short overnight run along the beautiful dalmation coast brought us to dubrovnik in jugoslavia we came on deck yesterday morn ing to witness a never-to-be- forgotten sight we were at anchor in a pretty harbor with steep hills rising all about us at the bottom of the hill and rising steeply with it for part way was an old walled town as out of a fairy book a massive stone wall with the draw bridge entrance gates and battle ment top curving up and down the side of the mountain we were the first cruise ship in fifteen years to go into jugoslavia titos country a holiday had been declared in town and liter ally thousands from town and country were on the dock and in the streets to greet us as we passed up the dock from the ships tender we passed between closely packed crowds and we were for the first time objects of the curi ous rather than the opposite they couldnt do enough for you and if you stopped for a moment you were almost immediately sur rounded by a crowd of children and adults alike a large crowd of nativecostumed men and women did native dances for us in the town square we were taken for a walk about the quaint old town in the morning at noon we were given a dinner at their large coffeehouse at which the mayor a thirtyone year old man spoke a welcome to us through an inter preter after dinner we were taken on a bus trin through one of the most beautiful and scenic river valleys i have ever seen during the afternoon i climbed to the top of the ancient round fortification tower overlooking the walled city and harbor i do hone my pictures turn out for the whole area was a photographers paradise the whole population was genuinely interested in wel coming the visitors but there was certainly an undertone of tension there were spies listening and watching everywhere the people had known for a month that we were coming and had been care fully prepared as to how to act continued on pace 2
