j | By KEITH ROSS District Representative At this time each year the progress of our community) i icomes under close scrutiny by reason of this issue of The Osh- awa Times, who are to be com- mended for this publication. To look at progress one must look back as well as view the present and future, I feel that all citizens can take pride in our progress in the past years, with the increase in population, pace has been kept in_ housing, schools, recreation areas, roads, traffic movement, parking and the many other necessities to, make this an enjoyable City to live in, Atlhough everyone is not satisfied with all that has been done, it must be progress has been made, In the past year or so we tracks on King street and the| sidewalks and paving replaced,| improved lighting in the do town area, the new Boys' C opened. The people have more than measured up again to pro- vide the money for a Civic Audi- torium which will be built soon and in which we will be very proud, I am sure, In the future many items of progress will take place, even though our City fathers are handicapped by rea- son of having to work on a close budget, but all citizens hope that wisdom in the deliberations on civic improvement problems will prevail and extremes will be avoided by necessary re- quirements being met and un- jnecessary things being delayed.
