|| Pickering Candidates Vie For Council Seats BROUGHAM All of the Pickering Township Council seats are being contested at the Dec. 4 election. When incumbent Harvey Spang, Councillor for Ward 1, said at the nomination meeting last week that he was the only one. who had voted against the required $500 lot fee, he was in-| terrupted by applause. Mr. Spang is a_ third-generation farmer in the north part of the township, and has represented his ward for many years. S. A. Osterhaut, who will op- pose Mr. Spang, is a retired teacher who says that he has time to listen to beefs, and to bring new ideas to council. Ward 2; incumbent, W. G. Newman, who is not standing for election this year, said that it was time something was done about the 29 per cent vote at Pickering Township elections, and said there was no excuse for voters not to get out on elec- tion day. | Standing for the Ward 2 office) is Donald Beer, of Brougham, | who said that he believed in| progress as long as it was of) benefit to the ratepayers; that! cillor, and resigned his seat on School Area 2 board to com- pete, for five years has been familiarizing himself with coun- cil procedures.

EAST YOUR NEW PEDESTRIAN CROSSOVER PROGRAM WHAT IS IT { The Pedestrian Crossover is a traffic safety system. It gives pedes \ ap trians the right-of-way to cross over certain designated intersection: » or elsewhere where there are no traffic lights. ' The Pedestrian Crossover is designed to protect both drivers and pedestrians. { Now in use in a number of Ontario centres, Pedestrian Crossovers / have proven to be almost ten times more efficient than pedestrian- / actuated signals. In Metropolitan Toronto there was a significant decrease in the number of pedestrian accidents and fatalities i following the introduction of Crossovers, ! WHAT PEDESTRIANS SHOULD DO (a) As @ pedestrian in @ Crossover, you've got the right-of-woy by law. WHAT DRIVERS SHOULD DO (a) When you see a Crossover coming, up, check aheod. Glonce at both sides of the street to see if a pedestrian is entering or in tending to enter the Crossover, Play it safe. Assume one v' enter as you approach. Drivers must yield the right of way to pedestrians. who F entered or who_are about to enter the same half of the roadv It is,courteous to stop for a pedestrian woijing at the curb . vehicular traffic is heavy and gaps between vehicles are few on -- / far between. be If there's a Crossover at @ particularly busy intersection, it's a good idea to slow down automatically. You'll feel pretty foolish if you're forced to come to a loud, screeching stop. Don't pass a car you have overtaken, whether you are on a two- lane street or a four-lane street within 100 feet of a Crossover. There may be a@ pedestrian in the Crossover hidden from your view, white nie ide (b) At the curbside, wait for o gap In the traffic. The nearest approaching cor should be outside the pointed "'X". That way, the driver has time to see yoy and stop safely, b When you reach the centre of the rood- woy, make sure that drivers on the second half of the street have seen you. Do waiting drivers @ favour by crossing as ropidly as you can. AS A DRIVER It's your responsibility to watch Crossovers with an eagle eye. A moment's inattention can find you on top of a pedestrian with no chance of stopping in time. When a pedestrian enters a Cross- over, he has no red light or policeman's whistle to make you stop. He must depend solely upon your eyes seeing him in time and your foot going to your brake in time.' It's up to. you to be on the lookout for careless or inattentive pedestrians. where angels fear to tread. It's up to ALD. J. G. BRADY, Chairman, CITY COUNCIL \\ \
