Township of Pickering offi- cials and the Ontario County Road Board are discussing the possibility of extending a coun- ty road west of Frenchman's Bay, south of Highway 401. At present, there is no existing road which could be developed into an arterial route under the county jurisdiction. Reporting to the Ontario County Council in Whitby t his week, the road board stated that one meeting has been held with Reeve Sherman Scott of Pickering Township to discuss the problem and further meet- ings are to be held. The committee, in a report accepted by the council, stated: "Your committee has recog- nized the problem of providing service by the County Road Discuss Plans For Extending Baseline System to the area south of Kings' Highway 401 and west of Frenchman's Bay in the Town- ship of Pickering. This area contains the greatest density of population within the township, but due to the existence of nat- ural and artificial barriers, there is persently no existing road which could be developed as an arterial route under the county jurisdiction. On April 3, Mr. J. S. Scott and the engineer' of Pickering Township met with the commit- tee to discuss the subject of providing improved service to the south west section of the township. Some of the obstacles which must be faced in considering the area are as follows: It is bounded on the north AT KIWANIS CLUB Funeral MINSTRELS TO ENTERTAIN The first presentation. of | School auditorium at 8.15 p.m. Rites by King's Highway 401 which has controlled access.

Is Assumed By Ontario County Work on improving Thick- son's road, midway between Oshawa and Whitby, from High- way 401 to the fourth concession is likely to start in early 1963, members of Ontario County Council learned this week. The county passed a bylaw to as- sume this portion of the road in order that it could be developed by the Department of High- ways. The road provides the only ac- cess to Highway 401 between Whitby and Oshawa and county plans will eventually see the road rebuilt to a junction with Highways 7 and 12 south of Myrtle. The road board, in a report, told council that they believed that the future importance of Thickson's road merits consid- eration of a grade separation, either a subway or overpass, at the intersection of the road and the CPR.

Nothing To Do With Inspection Ontario County Council, in re- ply to a letter from the Oshawa and District Labor Council, has advised the group that the county has nothing to do with meat inspection. The reply was tabled before the council by the county's finance committee. Said the committee report, which was adopted by the| county council: "We have considered the com- munication from the Oshawa and District Labor Council concern- ing the passing of a By-Law to regulate and control places where meat, meat products, fish) and dressed poultry are prepar-| ed for sale-offered for sale, stor- ed or sold in the County of Ont- ario.
