Allan, at Whitby, to discuss the problems re- lative to the Ontario County Road Sys: tém. The following persons were pre- sent at the meeting-- Honorable James N. Allan, M.P.P., Minister of High- ways; Dr. M. B. Dymond, M.P.I P; W. H. Peel, Warden of Ontario County; S. Ball, Chairman of County "Road _ Committee; Committee members--@G. Todd, M. Bain, W. Jackson, R. Morri- son, 0. Downey; Department of High- ways officials--J. V. Ludgate, Chief Municipal Engineer; L. A. Boucher, District Municipal Engineer; County officials--Col. A. Welsh, Sheriff; R, E. Sims, Engineer; Wm. G. Manning, County Clerk-"L'reasurer, To Subsequently a communication was received Trom the Honorable James N. Allan, Minister of Highways, on Aug, "8th, advising that the Department of Highways was prepaied to finance the entire cost of reconstructing County Road No. 21 from Longford Mills to Washago. The foregoing decision is of great importance to Ontario County inas- much as the improvement of this road will relieve the taxpayers of any con- tribution, While estimates of the cost _ of reconstruction have not been pre- pared it is expected that the total cost will be well in excess of $100,000: 'County Road No. 21 was formerly ~ King's Highway No. 69 and was. re- verted to County jurisdiction-in 1951. The road serves the summer resort area along the east shore of Lake Counchiching extending from Atherley to Washago. Special consideration was given to the fact that 'this road had previously been a King's Highway and its reversion to the County placed an additional burden of future construc- tion on the County. The road winds its way through the rocky outcropping ie the Severn River district and con- 'iquently any reconstruction is neces- "sarily more expensive than compar- able reconstruction in the 'southern bij ardas of the County, One of the major features of the improvement will be the construction : of a new one hundred foot span bridge So over the Severn River at-Washago to replace the narrow three ton bridge Re which has hitherto served the traffic on this route. As a temporary measure the De- partment of 'Highways has provided the material necessary for the con- struction of a Bailey Bridge over the Severn River which will serve as a detour during construction, 5 of the Ontario County Road Commit-|. + Province to Finance Reconstruction 0f County Road i 21 Wedding IMRIE : GRIEVE Pink and white gradiolus decorated Blackstock United Church for the wedding on Saturday afternoon, July 30, of Grace Yvonne Grieve, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Grieve, Nestle- ton, and Donald Alfred Imrie, son of Mr. and Mrs. Everett Imrie, Lindsay.

The parade of prize winning heavy horses is always popular with the crowd and this year's entries should make it an outstanding feature of the fair, Officials are also at a loss to ac- count for the number of entries re- ceived for the light horse classes. It has been generally. acknowledged that light horses are becoming less common each year"yet this year's fair entres have gone sky high compared with previous years. "Perhaps", said one official, "Own- ers are now beginning to realize that the best way to making their products known is through this type. of fair." Light horse classes will be for Shet- land and Welsh ponies roadsters, car- riage, commercial and heavy harness horses. Mrs. El lla Geer Dickinson and the late !
