wait too long with attention foe us ted so much this week on road and highway after premier froit announce ment of major improvements planned throughout the province it is time for georgetowns council to lay early plan for resurfacing no 7 through the major part of the town last fall this was almost a reality but was balk ed firt by a more cbmprehenive idea of installing proper drainage at the same time and then by the advent of winter which precluded any resurfacing at all the highway has been a danger spot for motor- traffic light needed a traffic light at the downtown 4 corners is a mut in 955 anyone who is in the downtown district at noon and five oclock particularly on fridays and saturdays realizes the growing hazard of too much traffic both to motorists and those on foot a few weeks ago a lady crossing the street was brushed by a car and knocked down a week later a young lad had his bicycle spun around and grocer- fbre christmas and yet w had misgiving too for we could not believe that enough mail order toy would be sold to even make up the 164q8 in adver hyinc charge let alone realize a profit for the firm perhaps the stratton man was following the ad vice of another man who went bankrupt in an inter national way wasnt it hitler who said if you tall a he make it so big that people will have to believe it the pyscliology certainly worked for we havent yet heard of a newspaper which asked for payment in advance on those two pages of advertising it it scant consolation that stratton helped the herald set a new record the first twenty page pa per in hutory ists for years and it will certainly not improve this year when spring frosts give it a few more heaves and pedestrians who have suffered through year of wadmg through mud puddles and being spla shed by passing traffic are in for an even grimmer spring mce repairs to a watermam completely cover ed the sidewalk with earth from st georges church to the flasher light last month council has many problemt and it is understand able that longstanding business can get bypassed by ome not so important but more current we hope no 7 wont fall into this category again this year ies spilled in neither case was there injury to tlrase involved but there might have been and there have been accidents in the past when people were injured tt is also suggested that wesleyan street and mill street from the 4 corners to young be made oneway streets at the same time this would have a double effect in routing traffic more efficiently in the down town area and providing one relatively safe crossing on main between the two banks pot pourri when we talked with harry goldham last week getting information about bob goldham night in de troit he must have been excited mentioning those from town who were down
