This proposed route would branch off in a westerly direction from Highway No. 28 at,a point approximately two miles below Kendry, {it would join Highway No. 12 at Manchester, pass through the towns and villages of Port Perry, Bethany and Cavan. As described in November 1927, by F.T. Webster, Ontario Land Surveyor, this route is 87.5 miles long, three miles of which have already been) : | paved from Manchester to Port Perry. In November of 1927 Mr. Webster, with Mr, Frank G. Stinson, at the re- quest of the municipalities and town- ships interested, traversed the prog posed route by .automobile. During the trip Mr. Webster 'took down all possible details, including the location B|of suitable gravel, of which there seems to be a plentiful supply. On their return to Peterborough they they encounteréd a& worse road through a better looking section of country. ' The advantages of this proposed new highway are said to be as follows: (a) It provides a new outlet to To- ronto and to Peterborough, (b) It shortens the mileage from Peterborough to Toronto via this new route by about 12 miles. (c) It will lessen the congestion on Highway No. 2. (d) It will open up an excellent farming section which for a great many years has suffered under the handicap of poor roads. This should bring additional trade to Peterboro, Port Perry, and the other munici- palities affected. It is expected that when the Hon. Geo. S. Henry visits Peterborough on Friday, April 26th, for the purpose of addressing the Annual General Meet- ing of the Chamber of Commerce, a deputation from the Townships of Mnvers and Cavan will again present the whole matter to the Minister for stated emphatically that never had .

ANNIE BRIMACOMBE Friends learned of the passing away of one of Seagrave's most highly re- spected citizens, Mrs. Annie Brima- combe. Mrs. Brimacombe had been suffer- ing a short illness of two weeks, and it was seen that a cheerful life was The sweetness and geniality of her nature was such that she enjoyed to the full all her blessings down to the simplest comforts and pleasures, and radiated happiness upon all around her. A real optimist in all the truest meaning of the word, she possessed an unusual degree of mental poise and discriminating good judgement. She looked upon this world; saw all its failings; but found it good. Yet, when she heard the call of the Master's voice, she obeyed the summons cheer- fully and willingly and passed without a regret, save for those left behind, into that other room, where so many of her loved ones had gone before. Mrs. Brimacombe's maiden name was Miss Annie Pearce, daughter of the late Thomas Pearce. She was born in England and came to Canada with her parents when she was sixteen years of age. She settled with her parents on a farm west of Seagrave Station. While here the family suffer- ed a severe attack of typhoid fever and one sister Mary Jane died. After a few years the family moved to the Rose farm on Scugog Island. Here she lived with her parents for thirteen years and attended the Centre Church where she was a member of the choir. In 1898 she was united in marriage to Mr, Francis T. Brimacombe. After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Brima- combe resided on the homestead for one year, then they moved to a farm north of Seagrave. After several years residing here they suffered the loss of their home by, fire. Shortly after that they moved to the farm in the Township of Brock where she lived until here death. She leaves to mourn her loss, her husband and two sons Wesley and Wilbert, all at home, one brother John Pearce, Scugog Island. The funeral service was conducted at the family residence on March 81st at 2 pm. by Rev. B. F. Green. The funeral service was largely attended by relatives and friends to pay their last respects.

Mr. Carnegie died about three months after coming to Canada and she was left with the re- sponsibility of caring for a family of seven children in a strange land. She was a woman of staunch christ- ian character, being a regular attend- ant of her church and Sunday School: It is said of her that for five years she never missed a Sunday Service; and always ready to extend her kindness and helpfulness where needed. She is survived by three sons and three daughters, one daughter having predeceased her some years ago.
