Rev, ¥, K, Lee, Roman Catholic padre at the Ontario Hospital, Whithy, recently had a unique experience = he went to Rome for two weeks as the travelling companion of Cardinal James MeGuigan, It was his first visit to that eity , , , The February issue of GM Topies was the brightest (for topograhpy, pies tures, layout and story content) in several menths, and something to write home about, We're still waiting for a good shot of Mr, William E. Austin (the assistant tn the president) at the keyboard of his plane , , , Ten Oshawa and digtriet residents will be among 300 Canadian eurling fang whe will travel to Scotland this month te wateh the Seoteh Cup world curling finals, The party will include W, ¥, Mercer, Fred Fordham, CH, Jenkin, William H, Ress and Fred W, Douglas from Oshawa] Mrs, Paul Irwin, Mr, and Mrs, Hugh M, Raker and Mr, and Mrs, Lorne Taylor, of Whithy, They will leave by alr from Toronto March 18, They will watch eurling matches in Ayr, Kirkcaldy and Perth, with the United States competing for the first time against the two original entries, Canada and Scotland, CROME IS OGRA SPEAKER City Engineer Fred Crome was one of a four-man panel discussing "Pavement Maintenance" at the 80th annual convention of the Ontario Good Roads Association in Toronto, Mr, Crome spoke en "urban streets" and said that they were plagued each year with the occurrence of potholes, He said: The severity of winter climes speeds up the process of disintegration resulting from any defect in road sure faces, The potholes are a traffic hazard, expensive to repair and give rise to unfavorable eriticism of those re sponsible for street construction and maintenance, While it may not be possible at a reasonable cost to prevent the formation of all potholes, it should be poss sible to develop preventative maintenance procedures which will reduce their occurrence to a minimum, The rigid restrictions in changes to street grades, due to manhole and other castings flush with street surfaces, and to curb and sidewalk grades, would ine dicate that the most promising solutions may be found in thin het-mix resurfacings or in surface treatments, In Oshawa a regular program of pavement resurfaces ing haa been carried out each year, The bases of many old pavements are badly cracked and it was decided that het mix resurfacing was not economical, Accordingly, a double surface treatment has been used with good success, Average life of surface treatment has been five years, However, this program always results in complaints from the public, The dust raised by trattie, the kick-off of stone onto boulevards and sidewalks, oo= casional bleeding of the asphalt and even the odd splash= ing of a car or pedestrian with the liquid asphalt were all matters of annoyance, Motorists found themselves caught In traffie tien this week got out of their cars to enjoy the weather (upper phote) while Investme In Retail WINNIPEG (CF) Richardson and Sons, a Winni peg investment firm, has in vaded the retail field with the purchase of the B6-store organ ization of Blores Limited A Richardson spokesman said Friday that for the last 40 years the Canada--wide SLOT organization has heen controlled hy United Biates interests "We are turning it into a Ca nadian outhit,"" he said A spokesman for Metropolitan Stores said at the head office in London, Ont., that the organiza tion has BK stores in Canada not including one thal was burned after a disastrous gas explosion last year in Windsor | There are 42 stores in Onis: rio, with the remainder spread {through every provines, except INewfoundland.
