Starting on May 24 a C.N.R. ~Qlicemnan stopped all cars cross- j&'the tracks and taok dawn thé ~Wes of! ah auto drivers. In iome cases he registered the names Of everyane in the car. Mers ie the story as gleaned fram several townsfolk involved. The C.N.R. dlaims that due ta the sharp bend in the tracks just west O! the station a guard is necessary to patrol the crassing at that point. Since the view is abstructed iA is impossible for a car driver ta de- termine how close the approach- Lflg train may be. An accident could occur i.n a matter o! sec- onds. The E t Beach crossing is safe because t he track is straight and the motorist can see far enough The Super-Efficient DILO - MAGIC Oil Heating MAKES YOUR PRESENT HEATING EQUIPMENT TWICE AS GOOD Savez Tou Money on Tour Fuel Costs Phone or Consuit JACK BROUGH PLUMBING - ÈEATING Division St. S. Bowmanv'Ie New Phono - Office 615 HousPhono 2384 down the tracks ta avoid mis- bnp. Due ta two unbridged creeks running between the east and west beaches, the road ta the East Beach is useless for those desiring ta reach the West Beach. Barber's Creek, on the west, is bridged where tbe West Beach rond crosses it. But the West Beach road is open for only four months o! the year. When trav- elling is possible in early spring and late faîl the cesidents o! the West Beach are forced ta travel ta their homes by boat by crossing the piers. At the moment, due to tbe raad block, only one f amily ives there the year round. It is said by those wbo own cottages at the West Beach that part o! tbe Bow- manville bousing pcoblem could be soived if a througb road could be established. It is also empha- sized that those who migbt live at the beach in the early spring and late f aIl would add a great deal o! revenue ta Bowmanville. As it is, when the beach is op- ened in summer, the merchants of the town experience a decided in- crease, in sales. Cottage owners complain tbat the property at tbe beach is tax- ed at the same miii rate as prop- erty in the centre of the town. SALES &SERVICE Eowmanville Public Utilities Commission PHONE 471 Yet that area does nat bave the services it shauld have. Most o! the tax maney derived from the properties there is used ta pay the watchman at the C.N.R. tracks and too little is le! t over ta ade- quately repair the road ta the beach. One townsman said that there was no real argument for closing the West Beach crossing since there had been no accidents there for as long as he could remember, and that bad been 35 years. In bis memary he could recaîl four accidents occurring at the East Beach road, wbich is flot cosed off. The closed road makes it im- possible for that part o! the town ta receive the fire services it pays taxes for, dlaims the same man. Last month when Jack Hately's fishîng boat caugbt fire the Fire Dept. was forced to take the East road and take the hase across the water by boat. The boat was severehy damaged before the f ire- men couhd get the equipnlent ta the scene. It would appear that eacb sid'p, the C.N.R. and tbe West Beach property owners, have egitimate beefs. Tbe railroad wants to pre- vent accidents, and the cottagers wnnt ta get to their properties. It may be that wben the new clover leaf is formed",south of the centre of town an overhead bridge will be built leading to the West Beach. But in the meantime the difficulty continues ta provide fuel for the newspapers and those wbo are rigbteously irritated.

Bowmanville Girls Defeat Cedar Aces At Ajax 9to 3 Ajax, May 31.-The Ajax Cedar Aces %veie victims of the visiting Bowmanville girls Monday night, to the tune of 9-3 in the second1 home game of the 1950 season. The Gibb-coached A) acians. went into a 1-run lead in the first1 innings whcn pitcher Gwcn Camp- bell got a hit from the Bowman- ville pitcher, Miller, and scored for the homnesters. Gwen Campbell with Marg Smith behind the plate held the visitors to no score in their end of the ficst. However, in the sec- ond Bragg, Bernice and Larmer ail tallied runs to put the visitors into the lead and in the 3rd Bates managed a bit off pitcher Gwen Campbell to make it 4-1. The 4th inning saw plenty of activity as left fielder Nancy Fleming got a hit and with some fancy base rurnning scured for Ajax. Howevcr a couple of 4alks and errors enabled Bowmanville to score 3 runs in their haîf of the inning, as Perfect, Willcts and Joli crossed the plate. Bowmanville pitcher Bragg, who came in in the 5th, managed a couple of strikeouts and retired Ajax in rapid succession in that inning and the 6th. But the visi- tors got a run in each of those in- nings despite some good fielding« by right fielder Violet Walker. and Joli put across the visiting tallies to end the visitors' scoring. The last inning 'saw the Cedar Aces put on a threatening rally witVI several well-placed hits but the visitors tightened downý and only allowed shortstop Sonya Ron- ald to score. The Ajax girls held the visitors scoreless in their haîf of the last inning to end the game Put-aways necdn't be give- aways.
