On June 15 last, a brief was presented to the Centennial Committee, it having been ap- proved at a public meeting. by the Civic Auditorium Commit- tee.

The council is initiating plans for naming important roads within this region. The present system of num- bering highways and major sec- ondary roads may have been adopted in the interests of effi- ciency. The Council believes, however, . that "Northumberland Forest Trail" would describe as well as identify Highway 45, and bring much more appeal with it. Requests to mark "The Scenic Highway" on Highway 2, or call it "Road of the Pio- neers', or "UEL Trail" have been made repeatedly. Ted Hennessey, Brighton Sports and Hobby Shop, will head a committee to accept nominations. Appropriate, de- sciptive names for roads of this Region -- Highways 7A, 45, 30, 28, 2, 401, and major county. or township roads -- would add in- terest to regional road maps.
