Corridor Capers By MARY MCEACHERN ~J Cali 725-967 wlth Items for this column STOP LIGHTS AT WOOLCO Thickson Rd. certainly required an additional stop light. The most crucial location for the light would have been at Nichol and Thickson Rd., but no, the new liglit is at Woolco Mall's Thickson's entran- ce. Al this does is "hopefully" get shoppers from one plaza to another one across the road, but does nothing to alleviate the congestion of motorists at- tempting to go south on Thickson Rd. from Nichol Ave. The new stop light is a potential hazard. So far there has been one fatal accident and numerous near misses. The location is wrong! It's great for Whitby to encourage development east of Thickson, but somehow a method will have to be devised to let these people have safe access to the 401. Bellwood Dr. is just as bad, cars are lined up, sometimes for five minutes, trying to go south on Thickson Rd. The light at Woolco Mail is by no means helping motorists who happen to live east of Thickson Rd. Whoever is responsible at the Region for such a stupid maneuver needs to get their priorities straightened out. What will they think of next?

PARK IN KENDALWOOD HEIGHTS t last the Park has been started. For at least four years the residents of Hawkstone,,Dunbar, Cawker Crt. and Powell Rd. have been waiting patiently (?) for their promised park. I have been informed that it is now underway and things will be in shape for spring playing. The delay was not the fault of the Town of Whitby. They too have been waiting for the developer to begin construction. Too many developers renege on their committmnents to the Town and residents regarding parks and finishing of the grounds, sidewalks and sodding. However, better late than never, this particular area will now have their promised park. Many thanks ta Wayne DeVeau and Fred Beckett for their assistance and help to see the job finished. PAPER DRIVE Cub and Scout paper drive wili be in alI parts of Whitby this Saturday. Please have your papers bundled and by the road no later than 8:30 and the colectors will do the rest. This is a monthly projeet enabling the Scout groups to increase their funds. Keroseneheaters require close attention Kerosene heaters are a subject of expanding use and concern due ta risîng energy costs. With the increased use of these products, more information and use of a kerosene heater, careful consideration must be given ta the safety aspects associated with the use of these heating devices. Expert advice is often required. Only portable kerosene heaters approved and certified by a recognized national cer- tification and testing agency must be used. Portable kerosene heaters should only be used as a temporary means of heating a room. They should not be used when sleeping or when someone is not around ta supervise its operation. Neyer allow children unsupervised around a kerosene heater.

Collegiate grade nine student has been getting the Free Press ever sin- ce his family moved to town in July from Oshawa where his father Rudy works as an optician. Paul attributes his subscription to great salesmanship on the part of carrier David McRae but he finds it comes in handy when his geography teacher assigns a local news project. According to his father, Paul is quite a artist and he may chose somne day ta follow in the footsteps of his uncle who is an editorial car- toonist in Europe. If that's the case, Paul's early interest in newspapers would seem to be a step in the right direction.
