ORONO WEEKLV TIMES, THURSDAY, JUNE 23rdn, L1966 ~ubs~c evry hurdayat t :f Uic ý ut uatioi Main Street, Piione 100e, urono, untario E-eab1îshed in 1938 15y R. A. Forrester Roy C. Forrester - Edîtor and Manager ADangerous 'Intersection Thse nortis entrance into Orono has, since its recon- struction caused some confusion for through traffie on Highway 115. It is assumed that the death of Mr. Francis Murphy on, Tuesday morning was the. cause of confusion at titis intersection. The accident Tuesday was not the first to occur at the intersection from confusion. In talking to one driver whose truck overturned at the intersection some montha ago. he revealed that he was unavtfire that he was on a take- off lane. This driver considered thl'at he was stili on High- way 115. Too late he reaiized his mistake and the curve la net rne-gotiable at a high rate of speed. Other vesicles, botb cars a9nd trucks, have been noted coming into Orono only to tuTrn- around to go back out again after apparcntly real Li'ng their mistake., The new enitrances have certainly enhanced the ap- proaches into the Village and in most respects are better titan their predesessors. There does, however, exist one maj- or flaw and this la in faulty design of the north entrance. Thtis entrance for through-traffic, especially for strangers, la confusing and as such la dâingerous. ¶Jnfortunately botit entrances are on curves in the ruad which no doubt increases the problemi of design. Thtis ýstouidC, not be a deterrent for corrective measures which aeccrtainly needed. T31e Department should take a ,good look at titis probiem îïand possibly with better signing, overhead signing, they could eliminate a lot of the doubt and thus a lot of tedanger at the, nortit entrance. A Costly Plan The recent majority decision of the Tüwnshtip Public Sehooel Board to option land immediateiy west of Kirby de- noDtes the intention of building a new school in titis area. T1se school, we understand, la te be a: six-roomn scitool and ,will allow the closing of three one-room scitools along with onte two,-room achool being ClarkeUnion, Enterprise, Kirby and Leskard. The decisioûn tc, build the new achool ini the Kirby district may have mnent when cofisideied only for titis -par- ticýular area, The losing of the aimaller scitools la a trend of the day and is one in which areas are being forced. Tihe picture, however changes drastically when other considerations are met. The Board bas been advised to consider obtaining 'iaii~ Orono for a new scisool to handie additional enrol- ment and als o t eliminate tise two basement clasarooma. Thtis advice, we understand, has been advanced by the De- partment representatives. It is also considered undesirable to, build additions te the, present, Orono, Scitool and with titis thought a new scisool would certaînly be necessary. Taking titis fact into consideratiionthe picture of new. scitool building for the whole area changes drastically. Are we 10 end up, due to lack of foresigist, with two nexv shoswithin two miles of one another and with both scitools being under thte dcsired size of 300 to '400 pupils? Sucit a 'plan would be costly in a service that is already rrounting in costs. Nýeighbouring areas are, in the great mai ority, plan. nir g for larger schools with te view of providing economn iic commodation along with upgrading the educational bystem., It has beeni noted that Peterborought Countyý public schoolý system is foliowing te same pattern as Darlington but her-,-e iin Cark conîderation to larger units is many year- aayan pssJibly aong danost custly piith.
