Until construction is completed motorists are ur- ged to exercise more care and caution at these interchanges -so they will still be around when construction is completed.

Irwin Haskett, Ontario Minister of Transport. The new signs will be introduced as old signs need replacing, with the job expected to take five to 10 years. Some examples are shown above (top) in contrast with existing road signs (bottom). Ontario Adopts Standard Traffic Signs Adoption of symbol traffic signs by Ontario was announced recently by the Hon. Irwin Has- kett, Ontario Minister of Trans- port. : The signs conform to interna- tional standards and use sym- 'bols_and illustrations to convey their message. When old signs need replacing, the new signs will be used in an increasing number of cases on both pro- vincial and municipal streets & Gradual transition to the new CR SR Beetle's classi¢ bad Now there's a pretty way Ever since Volkswagen invented economy in 1949, people have been making regular trips to the bank in the familiar VW Sedan. Not everyone, however. Some people just don't care for the looks. Regardless of how wealthy it might make them. So we built a racy Sedan with all the saving graces of the VW Sedan: The VW Fastback. ' It 'goes about 32 miles on a gallon of regular gas. 35000 miles signs is expected to extend over some years. "The greatest possible uni- formity of traffic signs is clear- ly desirable, for the sake of safety as well as the conveni- ence of motorists," Mr. Haskett said. "YI is equally desirable --that- such signs be recognizable at a glance, and that they be clear to all drivers," the Minister said. "To meet these aims, the '| best signs are those that con- vey their message by symbols rather than words." Wide use has already been given curve and turn signs that conform to the new standards, and these have proved their worth in both urban and rural areas. Among new signs, one shows a car skidding. This will re- place "Slippery When Wet" signs. A picture of a helmeted man with a shovel will replace "Men Working" signs. A sign. showing a car on a sharp de- cline will replace 'Steep Hill" signs. * In the introductory stage, the 'new signs will be accompanied by a plate carrying the appro- priate legend. These will be discontinued as time goes on. The signs fall in three cate- gories: regulatory, guide and Symbols warning signs. Many of the re- gulatory signs, such as stop, yield and one-way street signs are already familiar to motor- ists. The guide signs showing directions, mileages and high- way routes, are also in use on Ontario roads. __ Standards for the signs were worked out by a consortium of technical personnel from across Canada, supported by the Cana- dian Good Roads Association 'and the Institute of Traffic The symbols are "7" Engineers. much the same as those used in many countries of Europe and - in parts of the United States. Special Service At Greenbank United Church Last Sunday at Greenbank United Church, a very large Congregation witnessed the De- dication to Mission Ceremony, Five Christian Education Groups and their leaders took part, and each Group in making their contribution made mention of the work they had studied, and what specific a- mounts of money would accom- plish in the Church's Mission fields. The Messenger Group repeat ed their dedication in unison and individually presented their 'offering. Leaders for these children are Mrs. E. Tait, Mrs. "on a set of tires. And forever without water or antifreeze. (The air- cooled engine doesn't-use them.) nba bie The family resemblance doesn't end there. The Fastback has the Beetle's extraordinary traction to go in snow and mud. (You save on tow trucks) The same kind of replaceable fenders. (You save on repairs) The same 4-coats-deep paint job. (You save on paint jobs.) What the Fastback has that the VW Sedan doesn't is more room inside, a second trunk in back over the engine, front wheel disc brakes, "a stronger engine plus rakish good looks that look de- cidedly Un-Volkswagen. ; So much so, in fact, that you may forget your Fastback is a Volkswagen. Until you refer to your Bank Book. WERNER"S SERVICE CENTER, R.R. #4, Tel. 985-7162 G. Stone, Mrs. M. McGee: (Continued) Mrs. Barclay assisted us in making further innovations. With her help we set up Na- tional Skating tests. Seven amateur coaches attended a clinic in Peterborough on Nov- ember 13th, 1966 and were presented with certificates which qualified them to assist the professional in training 'younger skaters to qualify for the badges, twelve in all. Another successful venture this year was the holding of C.F.S.A. dance tests in our club on March 7th. Three members from our club brought renown to Port Perry during the year -- David Porter, a member here until 1967 and his partner, Janet D'- Altray from Unionville won honours in the Central Ontario Figure Skating Meeting Club, Fire Dept., the president Mary Baird, the reeve Mr. Gib- son and our M.P.P. Dr. Dymond. The Climax of the year's ac- tivities was the Carnival, the themes of which were "Home on the Range" and "Canada is Our Land", held on April 14th. Our fund raising projects in- cluded our booth at the fair on Labour Day, and our two Rum- mage Sales, on Oct. 14th and April 21st. This report wouldn't be com- plete without reference to the excellent leadership given by our president, Mary Baird and of course we feel very fortun- ate in our professional, Jean Barclay, under whose guidance we have taken so many steps forward this year. Our executive for 1967 - 68 season will be: The Explorers as a Group de- dicated their offering and their gift was presented by Debbie McGee. Mrs. F. Phoenix and Mrs. B. Thomson are the Ex- plorer Leaders. John Foster, representing the 'Tyro Group spoke of the les- sons they had learned from their Mission Study, and Neil Bacon made the presentation. Mr. Murray Empringham is the leader of these boys. The girls of the C.G.LT. to- gether made their Dedication, and Sandra Harper offered their gift. Miss Marilyn Rodd and Miss Beatrice Lee are the lead: ers of the C.GILT. On behalf of the Young Peo- ple, John Phoenix presented the offering and spoke for the Group. Counsellors for the Young People are Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Harris. The Minister, Rev. D. Harris thanked the Leaders and em: phasized the importance of children receiving instruction in the Mission work of the Church so they will come naturally in later years to assume respon: sibility for preaching the Gospel in all its aspects to all the world. Next Sunday Baptismal Ser vice will be held in our church, Section Championship --where they placed first in the Junior Dance. Later they placed 3rd in the Novice Dance at the 'Canadian Championships.
