Proper Use Of Crosswalks Urged For City Children Concern at the percentage of children in the three to five years group injured in street accidents during 1966 was ex- pressed by deputy commis- sioner of works Robert Richard- son at last night's meeting of the traffic committee. He said every effort should be made by parents to educate their children in the use of pedestrian crossovers. Committee adopted a motion, proposed by Ald. John DeHart, that the possibility of literature on the subject being sent to taxpayers with public utilities, tax bills or assessment notices be investigated. He said he thought literature given to children in the schools by the safety officer often did not reach parents. In a report, the department said consideration had been given to carrying out an educa- tional program to acquaint the public with the uses of pedes- trian crosswalks.

City Controller Claims Storm Sewer The city's storm sewer pol- icy was grossly unfair to. de- velopers, and has been for many years, Con, Ralph Jones said at a meeting of the public works committee. "Tt is one of the biggest kicks developers have," he added. The committee was debating the request of developer D. W. Wilson, who appeared before them on Monday protesting the cost of installing a storm sewer outside his Rossland Park sub- division for enclosing a natural water course. "T think some of the unfair- ness could be eliminated," said Con. Jones. A motion of Ald. James Rundle that the city's policy be reviewed with a view to equal- izing costs, and be placed on the agenda for future discus- sion, was adopted. Fred Crome, commissioner of works, said the storm sewer in question would drain the land leading to Mr. Wilson's de- velopment, and probably cost about $15,000.

I am running for reeve, and if elected, will contest the wardenship of On- tario County," Reeve George Brooks told members of town council Wednesday night. Reminding the council that Monday night is the nomina tion meeting at Anderson Coi- legiate and Vocational School, Mayor Desmond Newman voiced his appreciation of the co-operation extended to him by council during the past year. "The amalgamation project was exciting, but the future requires the continuous effort which was given by this coun- cil during the year.

ADVERTISING PAYS OFF SAFETY LEAGUE Citizens Voice Major Complaints Advertising has paid off for the Oshawa Safety League and the safety minded driving public in the city. Chairman James Feltis re- vealed at the monthly meeting of the league advertising had re- sulted in his receiving numerous phone calls from public minded citizens. These phone calls re- vealed two major complaints about the city streets. Mr. Feltis learned the public is concerned about the Thorn- ton Road North, Taunton Road West intersection. It was point- ed out to him that people driving west on Taunton, who want to make a left turn onto Thornton, must go through an extremely dangerous blind intersection, due to the incline on Taunton Road. Mr. Feltis pursued the com- plaints with the city engineering department and discovered the city is drawing up plans to make changes in the intersection to end the problem of the blind in- tersection. The engineering de- partment -hopes to undertake part of the project under a win- ter works program. The second complaint received by Mr. Feltis was with respect to the shopping plaza on King Street West at Park Road. Citi- zens pointed out that curbs were never lined up with the en- trance to the shopping centre, making it difficult for people to know what is the entrance to the shopping centre. Mr. Feltis again checked with the engineering department and learned the problem is being corrected immediately. However, the most common call the league received, with re- spect to safety, concerned bi- cycles. Numerous citizens com- plained about children riding double on bikes, riding on side- walks, and riding bicycles with no lights. A member pointed out that bus bays set up on either side of Simcoe Street North, at Osh- awa General Hospital, were con- structed to facilitate the flow of traffic on Simcoe Street North. He said people are sitting there parked for 10 to 15 minutes let- ting off and picking up their schoolchildren. : He went on to say the bus bays were constructed for the use of buses only, and were meant to enable buses to pick up and drop off passengers without blocking the flow of traffic. ° It was announced the annual meeting and dinner of the Safe- ty League will be held in the Fleetwood Room of the Hotel Genosha on Nov. 30 at 6.30 p.m. For further information about the Safety League, Mr. Feltis can be contacted at 725-3533.
