Planned roads and mail helped with regular CONT'D FROM PG. 14 wagon often used for the transport of luznber. The Kngston Road was opened in 1817 and soon after a speculative stage operator, one Samuel pur- dy, began a line that went through WhltbY to Kingston. It was not until 1827, however, that the first regular bi-weekly stage ser- vice was in augurated bet- ween Toronto and the Bay of Quinte. Then ini 1829-30 a real, wheeler-dealer stage operator appeared upon the transportation scene i Cen- tral Canada. William Weller took over several small limes and made worklng arrangements with those who chose to, operate in- dependantit. He became the dominatlng force in the in- dustry for more than a quar- ter of a century. Plan roads and mail con- tracta made regular operations possible for Weller on the tlirough routes and smailer operations of feeder lines running north ail along the lake front.

CPR nilght save your ife CONT'D FROM PG. 19 ment CPR should be carried out until the ambulance at- tendants arrive hi take over the situation. "If somebody drops on Brock Street it takes the ambulance a while to get here," said Bell. "If more people in the general public knew CPR andi could help immediately, it mlght just save the guy's 1f e."i The course itself lasta about 12 hours and la held at the ambulance station at the corner of Beech and Palace Streets. A $15 fee is charged per student. This fee includes lessons and a book wlth«hI- formation on CPR. At the end of the course a 50 question multiple choice exam la given as well as tests on the dummnies to determine whether "'studen- ta have the rlght procedure down." "Everybody that comes hi take the course must be medically sound,"1 sald Bell. To this ends a small questionaire is given out to every would be student.

The certification card la good for one year at which time the student, if lie or she wishe, can return hi re- certlfy themaselves.

The m ail contracts brought ail season service and business was good. In- ter-connecting service was available from Windsor and Niagara-On-The-Lake ail the way to the Qubec border. William Weller made money and obviously ploughed it back into good, new and big coaches, they soon became a familiar sight on the main roads in Central Canada. They were painted a light yellow and drawn by six bay horses- most notable of all was the lavish crest on the -coach doors with his name, a coat of arms and the worlds "Royal Mail". It is unlikely that our federal postal ser- vice would allow such liber- ties today. Back in the 1830- 50 period, however, William Weller was a prescense in the transporation industry to be reckoned with and became a public figure of national esteemf and respect. In the first half of the l9th century the period of early settiement came to an end. The urbanization process began and growth centres emerged with a' rising population that worked for wages in Ontario's new and smiall industries. The Railway Age began in 1856, when service between Toronto and Montreal began in that year. The smooth ride on rails was irresitable to the travelling public and the stage lines started a decline from which they did not recover.
