Far too many serious aceci- dents occur at this corner, or in ~ the vicinity, demanding more adequate protective measures in order to improve the situa- tion. We understand the O.P.P. provides an officer on traffic duty at the intersection at peak hours.

'We realize this would costly, and may not be needed or even be practicle at times, since the heavy traffic on the two Highways is primarily over the week-ends when cott- agers and tourists head east or north on 'Friday and return home on Sunday. Continuous : traffic from the north on Highway 12, particu- larly Sundays makes it some- times virtually. impossible for motorists returning home on TA to enter Highway 12 at the Manchester stop sign. A steady stream of cars is lined up every Sunday during the summer from Manchester east on TA, for hundreds of _ yards, hour after hour, while the traffic is running fairly freely on Highway 12. This situation of congestion and. the many tragic accidents which have occured here is of great concern to the residents of the Manchester area. This intersection is -danger- ous to the motoring public, and this is proven by the many seri- ous accidents here, costly dam- age to vehicles, injuries and some times fatalities to persons involved. a had LE Sars a " Ss Rie Rae DEAE ANE SV OA AN CARAS i BRR (RAEN AS YEAS REE EOFS 4) : we : | BILL SMILEY AH, THAT SILVER LINING If your family is anything like mine, you must sometimes put your head down on your arms and weep, quietly and bitterly. We go through periods of passivity and morbidity to the point where mass suicide seems the only sane solution. And with the perversity of life, suddenly the clouds break, the sun comes out, the rainbow appears, there's a pot of gold at its base and God Is once again back in His heaven, instead of hanging around the pool-hall. We've just been through one of these cycles, and I reckon that just about one more will finish me off. It began about ten weeks ago. For the fifth time in the last couple of years, Hugh, the wandering boy, took off to make a new start and his fortune. This time. it was to be in the mines of northern Quebec. A week later we received a card from the flesh-pots of Montreal, urging us to write and saying he had a job at Expo Jr. We all wrote. Silence. Nothing. For weeks and weeks. Momma. worried. I didn't. . At about the same time my wife got sick and couldn't write her university exams. Had a small operation, came home and lay around the house, driving me mad. - Kim, of course, had to get into the act and came down with mono-nucleosis. She was forbidden to study. Would she fail her year? nt Your humble servant, as usual, had no- . thing wrong with him except a rotten fa: mily.

His mother learned she had to have a big operation and spent a month chewing her fingernails right up to the wrists as she waited for the hospital to 'call, the ghastly operation, and the news that she had cancer. Kim got surlier and surler from being cooped up. Did my best. Wrote Hugh a strong letter. Talked to my wife for endless hours about hysterectomies, ovaries, uteruses, malignant fibroids and such delicacies. Tries to humor Kim into eating and sleep- ing. Then everything started to pop at once. The hospital called and the old lady went off to her doom. For three days I sweated out the operation. and at the same time Kim's promotion from Grade 12, which lay in the hands of the gods, her teachers. Finally, the dam broke. All in one day we hit the crisis. Hugh phoned from Que- bec City, to learn that his Mum was likely breathing her last. Kim was granted her year at school. And that night, a shaky old lady of about 90 called from the hos- pital to tell me that she was alive, though not exactly kicking, ; During the next week, the tide rose and "the old family ship, which had been high and dry on the bleak beach amid the rotting weeds, began to float again. Hugh phoned his mother in hospital, and she was so glad: to hear from him that she forgot to give him hell for not writing.
