VOLUM~E 99 Civic Deputation1 U Rhways Ninisti RSegarding Waver There is little ha-De of the Wa- verly Road cloverleaf approach for Highway 401 being built in the near future, Mayor Morley Vanstone reported at the August meeting of Town Council Tues- day night. His honour stated that he, Deputy Reeve 0. F. Robson, Caun. Walter DeGéer! and Dave Higgon had gane ta Toronto as an unofficial delega- tion last Friday marning and had an interview with Highways Minister George Doucette. They had been tald that the, Waverly Road claverleaf is "on' the shelf" at the present time, although Highway 401 plans still cail for its installation. Mr. Doucette pramised, hawever, ta send engineers down ta study i the matter of making the ap- proach ta the Liberty St. inter- change more gradual, Mayor Vanstane stated. Except for the i; failure ta build the Waverly ]Road cloverleaf, the plans sub- mitted by the Department of Highways for approaches ta Bowmanville as approved by counicil in 1951 have been sub- stantially carried out, he said. In regard ta the matter of signs indicating the Liberty St. Interchange on Highway 401, a 1,lýetter was received by cauncil iromn one of the Department en- gineers stating that the three standard signs allowed ail com- munities have been installed. One of these is, at the inter- change entrance, one is 1,000 feet back and the third is 1,500 feet back.

DeGeer asked that actior 1on this recommendation be de. sferred until the Public Praper- ty Committee had time ta dis- cuss it further. Coun. Cale of the Police Com- mittee requested autharization ta purchase 10 stop signs, which Iwas granted by council. In dis- >cussian as ta where these signs should be placed on Queen and Ontaria Streets, Coun. Scott de- clared that it was time cauncil stapped trying ta be traffic ex- perts. "We have got ourselves in an awful muddle", he declar- ed, and suggested that an effort should be made ta get a traffic eexpert such as Inspectar Vernon Page or same other qualified traffic expert ta came ta Bow- manville, study the traffic prob- lems here, and make recommen- dations. Mayor Vanstane sug- gested that the Ontaria Traffic Safety Association might be able ta recammend a man for this survey. Coun. Scott sponsored a mo- tion, which was passed by caun- cil, that traffic exDerts be con- tacted and asked what their fee would be ta came ta Bowman- ville and make a traffic survey.

"It is a great privilege ta ex- tend greetings ta the citizens of the home town of my gaod friend John James", Mr. St. Lau- rent declared. "Quite frankly, I am here ta ask you ta give yaur votes ta the Liberal Party and ta him. If you don't think the men wha run the present government should be returned, if you think there is a better set of men than tbem, then don't vote for Mr. James.

He stated that the Queen can do only what is recommended to her by the gavernment in power and that it, in turn, is only' entitled tû make recammenda- tians and laws when it bas the support o! the people. In the same way, the government in Canada is responsible ta the people, he said. "The ardinary people influ- ence their gavernment through their Members o! Parliament"', Mr. St. Laurent continued "and every once in a while these Members have ta answer ta the people. This is the best farm a! gavernment that bas ever been deâised for free men and wam- en. We in the gavernment awe a respansibility ta the people, and especially ta the people of the youngcr generation, ta sec that this type of gavernment is preserved.
