in the wes tern end of the Delrex area for a few hours Sunday after noon has forced the Hills recreation department to cancel its scheduled Autumn Road Races Karen King recreation co ordinator or Georgetown said this week she asked the police to assist in making the proposed routes for the races safe but received little en couragement from Super intendent Floyd Schwann Later she said contacted the recreation department by letter to say he didnt think it was a good idea to seal off traffic in the area on a Sunday afternoon The recreation department had planned the road races as the first event in what they hoped would become an annual affair One two and five mile foot races were planned with all residents of Hills over the age of eligible to enter The races had been ad vertised in local papers but registration was not to take place until this week so theres no idea what kind of a response they would have drawn The races were of ficially cancelled last week Miss King said the one mile race would have taken place over a route beginning at Cedarvalc going up into the Prince Charles and Edward St areas and back to Cedar- vale It was to start at 1 p and be finished by 2 The two mile race starting at and finishing at would have taken runners further up Prince Charles and back down Delrex to Cedarvale Only the five mile race which was to start at and be over by would have required a very largo area to be free of traffic That would have taken runners up Prince Charles all the way to Rd and back down Delrex to Cedarvale The races were originally scheduled to begin at the Georgetown District High field but Miss King said she changed the starting point to Cedarvale so that runners would not have to cross Maple Ave after speaking to Superintendent Schwantz the first time Georgetown District High cross country coach Donna Metcalfe said her team and coaching staff were ready to assist the recreation depart ment In organizing and staging the road races Miss King said other Georgetown were also willing to help Earlier this year GDHS used some of the same streets for their Cross Canada run-n- thon but without police supervision Defending his action Superintendent Schwantz said he didnt think it was proper to seal off the area in which the races were to be run with so much traffic going in and out of it He said internal traffic would even have been a problem with cars going In and out of drive ways I think the good track up at the park would have been the suitable location for a foot race said Superintendent Schwantz I know the Miles for Millions are held every year on the highways but thats a little different When youre in a race your prin cipal thought is to complete the race in the shortest space of time Schwantz said he thought plans for the races other than the location were good Road races are held an nually In several Ontario towns And cities notably Kitchener- Waterloo London BOWLING Great Fun For0neForAII TV- e Comity fat BOWL for BOWL for

the club this year raises the problem of how to give all players a chance to get out on the courts The club is trying to get the new High School gym with its four courts for at least one night but the school is not making any bookings until January coordinator for Acton Anne Pickering suggested the club rent the gyms in both Bennett and for their nights but this Idea was turned down by the club be cause it was felt it would have the effect of splitting the club into two Until they can get the High School hey just hope we can cater to all these people said Mrs Morris Decorated St Albans church
