Councillor Bruce Taylor, chair- man of the municipality's public works committee, explained that the town hopes to construct the bridge between June and September.

The barriers which she has been asked to bridge range from creating better relations between urban and rural people to narrowing the dis- tance between milk producers and consumers. As all these tasks are undertaken, however, the 24- year-old Belmont, Ontario girl takes them in her stride, Widely Travelled As an ambassadress for Ontario's 134 dairy farmers, it takes a dedicated type of girl to meet the requirements which are essential to the job. Competing with 40 other county dairy princesses across the province for the title at the Canadian National Exhibition, Miss Jenkins was awarded a trip to Great Britain among the prizes she received. me with io Milk Toronto ing the le. travels ide the ell as in atching ms and It was on a recent tour scheduled to go through the eastern area of the province that the sensitivity of Ont- ario's French-speaking people toward their rights was shown to her. The incident which pointed the situation out was a visit planned for a town east of Ottawa. The stopover had to be cancelled, however, when no promotional material on the dairy industry in French was included in the informa- tion sent on to the local schools. A 52-year-old Oshawa man died in hospital Saturday following a head-on collision on Taunton Road, about one mile west of the M. J. Hobbs School. Three people were injured in the early afternoon acci- dent, including a four-year-old child. Three others were unhurt. Dead is Jardslev Planka, 52, of 911 King Street East, Oshawa. Newcastle OPP say Mr. Planka was driving a 1966 Ford pickup east on Taunton Road at the time of the It was then that she began to realize the full scope of the duality of language and cul- ture in the province, she told the Rotarians. The problem is another subject which has interested her, relating to her educa- tional background which in- cludes a BA in French studies from Western University. Perhaps one of her most important functions is the public relations aspect, the role of goodwill ambassadress for a province which has the largest per capita consump- tion of milk per day. Moustache Helps While other good dairy' producing areas in the U.S. register high profits, Ontarico is a top producer largely because of its effective adver.. tising efforts, she said. The reason Ontario resi.- dents drank an estimated 100 quarts of milk per person last year is partly because of the $3 million advertising campaign. The "wear a moustache" campaign with its offer of special prizes and a catchy jingle to hum to resulted in a doubling of the amount of milk consumed on high school campuses. Among her many speaking engagements, Miss Jenkins spends a large percentage of the time on tour talking to public school children. Promoting the nutritional value of milk, she describes the dairy industry in and out for them and then tells them about its beneficial effects. Not only is it a nutritional drink, she stressed, but with rising prices in the coffee department at the grocery store, it also is economically better to drink. When she heads for a tour of England and Wales next month, Betty Jenkins will again bring the message of the province's milk producers in one of the best public relations packages in the dairy market. Alert action by Constable Dave Smith of 16 Division Regional Police won him recognition at the eighth annual police banquet Friday night, sponsored by Oshawa Central Lions Club and held at the Red Barn. Constable Smith on March 9th while on his rounds, noticed two men in a car near a Bowmanville store. He checked and found they had already removed a window and were about to accident. His four-year-old son, John, a passehger in the vehicle, escaped with a cut lip. Police say the Planka truck collided with a 1974 pickup driven by Richard Timm, of 12 Clergue Street, Sault Ste. Marie. The Timm vehicle reportedly crossed into the eastbound lane where it collid- ed with the Planka vehicle. It then proceeded further west, striking a 1973 Vega driven by John P. Johnston, of 397 Geneva St., St. Catharines. Neither the driver nor the passenger in the Vega was injured. Twenty - two - year - old Ric- hard Timm was reported in serious condition in the Osh- awa General Hospital.
