The journey was interrupted, however, when the driver spied the railroad overpass. You guessed it. The load was too high ta pass beneath the bridge. Despite ail drivers being issued with booklets listing overhead height limitations on provincial highways, every now and then someone goofs. The harassed driver was forced ta rely on local police to supervise his backing up to a point where he could turn around and seek an alternate route. -Murray White Photography A REMINDIR A public forum at which can- didates for election ta council seats representing the East Ward of Whitby, will be held tonight, November 16, at Dr. Robert Thornton Public School, Scott and Hazelwood Dr. Ratepayers are remninded that with so much at stake in the election this year it is a civic duty of citizens ta take an in- terest and attend if possible.
