omen TERRACE "Authorized as 2nd.Class Mail - Port Office Dept. Ottawa. Vol.1, No.7 Bay News pene = September 11, 1958. TOWN. HIGHWAY HAZARD CONTINUES! -- NO_ CHANGE IN HIGHWAY SPEED LIMIT FOR TERRACE BAY Mr. JoAs Ferrier, Chairman of the Im- provement District of Terrase Bay has been advised by the Ontario Government Motor Vehicles Branch that speed zoning on Highway 17 through Terrace Bay will not be considered until July 1960! The Board of Trustees of Terrace Bay have, on various' occasions, requested the Government to reduce the existing speed limit on Highway No.17 through Terrace Bay, for very obvious reasons. Just recentiy, however, the Deputy Registrar of Motor Vehicles advised that Highway 17 is to be reconstructed beginning in November 1958 and expected to be finished in July 1960. For that reason a speed Zoning study is being postponed until about July 1960. Meanwhile heavy duty trucks and many passenger vehicles will continue to roll through the centre of Terrace Bay at fifty miles per hour. A SWIMMING POOL FOR TERRACE BAY?? The very successful effort of Mara- thon and Red Rock in building public- sponsored swimming pools has shown how much can be accomplished by a community of puhlic-spirited people working togeth- er. Citizens of both towns have good reason to be proud of their endeavours. Take the casein Red Rock for example. Men pledged hours of work, women held teas and bazaars to raise funds, service clube donated both hours and financial aid, boys and girls clubs held fund- raising events: nearly every organiza- tion in town, large or smail, donated in some way. Church groups, Unions, fraternal organizations, schools; they all pitched in to help. Under the direction of a Pool Comm- ittee funds were pooled, a site and desisa selected, final plans laid, and work +? sgan,. The Pool Committee organized the work gangs and, under the direction of Herb Penner, a Mill engineer who pledged all of his free time up to the comple- tion of the pool, these gangs were put to work laying forms, pouring cement, doing all the jobs which did not require special skills. Other chores, requiring the hands of tradesmen, were handled by the plumbers electricians, carpenters and other skilled men who had pledged hours. Gradually, the pool is taking shape; not through the efforts c° ve man or of a group of men, but ti. *h tie efforts of the people of Red Rock, They wanted a pool, so they went out and built one, Have we in Terrace Bay the desire and the Community spirit to do the same kind of job?? APPLES', APPLES! APPLES! The Kiwanis Club of Terrace Bay will once again be selling the famous B.C, McIntosh apples from house to house. Once again these apples will be sold in the 20 lb. "Handi-Pak" carton and should be avail- able for delivery about September 20th. The price will be reasonable so--COME ON FOLKS-- respond when your salesman calls and help the Kiwanis to help the Community.
