PAGETWOTM !CANADIAN 0,XREAT SCOT 1 WHAT'S THIS WAVERLY IROAD CLOVERLEAF FIASCO ALL ABOUT? 4 We are pleased to see an a]ert merch- ant bas corne right out in the open by writing a letter to the editor expressing his candid views on the negleet the Roads and Streets Committee has shown in ref- erence to a clov'erieaf over the new super Hîghway 401 leading to the business sec- tion of the town via Waveriv Road---that part of the town known as Westmnount. We heartilv agree with Mr. Jamaieson in his views and the remarks of manv other citizens that if the dynamnic fighting Chairman of the Roads and St reets had shown the saine interest and enthusiasm in getting the Waverly Road Cloverleaf constructed as he did in the Station Street Liberty Street approacli, convenientlv passing and through cornpanv property at a record price for right-of-way, accord- ing to his own statement, Bowmanville citizens might have no reason for' comL' piaining. In façt thev would be justified *in rising uip and caliing him blessed, as they have done, and we have t'ecorded rniany tirnes in these columos. things he and htis f irm have done for the betterment of the communitv. Therms be some good reason for the hai-mar reainng slen onthis VeYimportant issue, for be is usually the *spark plig in coincil and eisewhere to set ini action strch movemenhs. But we will leave it iii hum to make bis (>Wf ex- planation in thris rnatter. As a private citizen and an irteî'ested business mari we realized citizens, as well as <rt-of-tow&n motorists not familiar with the new highwaY setUp. are being consid- erably inconvenienced bv the awvkward ztg-zag appioach ta tire uptown section. F'or another' thing, sufficient signs from the west have not been erecied, and we were informed some wer'e knocked down. Upon inquirv of Town Clerk Alec Lyle, weeks ago, we found on the original blueprint of the new highwaY in his office it distinct1I' showed a clove rleaf marked for Waverl'v Road. But apparentlv noth- ing had been done up to this time, to find out whv the west approach had flot been constructed. Other tWns the size of Bowmanville usuallv have two sucli ap- proaches when a double highxvay is con- structed. We took the trouble to measure off the two approaches. using the Post Office as the centre and wve found the Waverly Road was about haif a mile shorter than via the present Brookdale-Station road. There xvas another great advanfage to rnotorists c<)ming from the west in favor of Wavei'lv Road which only requires one turn, ah King Street. Whereas. via Station road. there are six turns before you reach the Post Office. Imagine a stranger find- ing bis wav, after dark! Ther-e are also the hazards of passing an open pla.ygiound edging the street leading uptown (although Chair'man of R. and S. has since seen to it that council erects a fence part way along the park). Then ihere are two schools ta pass, besides clutter'ed uip Queen Street with car-s park- ed on bolli sides f rom Veterans' Hall, Goody ear emplo 'vees and Ar-ena customers. In fact vou coîîld bar-dIv imagine any worse condition iacking conven .ience and safetv than the above horr-ible set-up. 0f course if the citizens are satisfied with the single criss-cross puzzle approacb via the new highwa ' , we might, next week. discuss the rurnour that a posh motel and non-denominational cathedral is iikeiv 10 be erected in a certain section of (ur hown'for' profit and glorification of the promoter. But, that's another story. In the meantime. let's get the facts about the W'averi.v Road Cloverleaf fiasco. Evepr since the ittlè'Dich girl told the editon' sle wanhecî to be cal]ed a -new Caînadian" and flot a "little Dutch girl.," oui admiration foi' these new citizens in aur rnidst has aroused consici eî'abie interest. We, then'etore, gladly accepted an invitation toa Dutch wedding on Satin-day in the Christian Retoimed Chu rch to leRro more about their native cus- tom s. 1h was an experience %ve Shal. long î'ernembeî', for- the cerernony \VRS without the rîsual fanfare and fashion-sbow-dispiav of so rnanv Canadian weddings.

Althougb a bit discouraged in this par- ticular endeavour we try to be bopeful that somnetime and somehow a spark of life will fire an enthusiastic citiien to be cou rageotîs enough to take up the torch of action.

To make tbe - ri)gi'am fully effective righh across the country, Canada's national business organ- ization is enlisting the'aid of its close to 700 member Boards ot Trade and Cham- bers of Commerce and some 2350 member campa nies.

"Democi-ac '- depeinds nîponi the exercise or the free and secret ballot." stated Pî'esi- dent Lewis W. Simms of The Canadian Chamber of Commerce. "and 1 believe that evei-ything possible should be done to bring Canadians a fuil] appreciation of tbeiî-responsibilities in tbis connection. "The foi-ces opposing our democr'atic wa'v <of life ar'e assished by Ioss of fr'eedomn, are the end results of inidifference. We mnust therefore be alerh and vigilant in the defence of democi-acy thn'cugh the recog- nition and exercise of tbe responsibilities of ciizeiisbip." Mr. Simms said thait in the las4 gen- eral election., in 1949, Almosit 'wo million regi.tered Canadian voters failed to lýak@ the trouble ho visil a polling booth.
