Greer Passes ea 3 0f This and That Well, summer has really come! Now we can complain about the heat when only a few short days ago we com- plained about the cold. Now we can listen to the hum of the road ma- chines during the day and of the bugs at night. Paving operations are under way on Highway 12, where the construction work was being done last year and before long much longer it may be a real pleasure to drive to Toronto, if you can keep your jaw clamped until you reach Manchester. Paving is also being done on Scugog Street (Hwy. 7A) and many of the town's cross- roads are being dragged. Have you noticed the stop signs along the cross roads? Our Chief of Police tells us that he is giving the townspeople a little while to get used to them and then he is going to start checking up on people who neglect to 'stop where the signs indicate. It never pays to drive absent-mindedly anyway! Ob, yes! the bugs! We haven't been able to check but we are told that there are thousands, some even say millions, of June bugs around. The new street lights down town seem to attract them and morning finds bodies piled up inches deep. This is undoubt- edly a good thing as June bugs are the parents of those horrid white grubs that do so much damage in our gar- dens and lawns.
