Icy Road Menace Gets Attention And Sand Box A wooden box placed on the side- walk in front of the Whitby Post Office drew considerable attention yesterday, and focused residents' thoughts on the problem of keeping the roads from being dangerous when covered with ice. With the weatherman! trying his hardest to supply Whitbyites with a white Christmas, and the attend- ant disadvantage of icy streets and sidewalks, Police Chlef J. W. Elliott asked for a box of sand at the Four Corners so that a shovel was all that was necessary to spread sand at this busy intersection. Ordinarily the' town's sander was needed to make the corners safe for motorists and. pedestrians, but in this way it is the work of only a few moments to cover any par- ticularly icy spots on the highway. Yesterday town workmen brought the. sand box, which is plainly labelled SAND, and stationed it on the sidewalk, Within a few minutes it had 'been used to sand the streets until the town's truck was able to do a complete job. To Sing Sunday From Hamilton Fourteen-year-old Orma Fleming, who has been making quite a name for herself as a singer, both here and via the radio in more distant parts, is going to Hamilton on Sun- day to appear on Ken Soble's ama- teur program.
