"CEREMONY MARKS UNDERPASS OPENING The official opening of the recently completed underpass in Schreiber took place on September Ist with Mines Minister, the Hon.George Wardrope, cutting the ribbon held by Reeve F.V .Harness and former Reeve W.E.D'Arcy during whose tenure in office the project was planned. Others from out of town attending the occasion were Mrs.Wardrope, Mr.and Mrs.John Wyllie, Chas. Fleury, Toronto, Mr.and Mrs. D.C.Bachelor, Sud- bury, Lesley Looney, Board of Tr ansport Commis- sioners, Ottawa, Ve rn Snell, Gordon Smith and Lesley Milks, Dept.of Highways, Fort William. Dedication of the underpass was conducted by Rev. R.J.S.Inshaw, assisted by Rev.J.M.Cano and Rev. D.F.Muldrew. Mr.Inshaw prayed that the wider contact offered by the new underpass between the divided town would symbolize and engender closer spiritual communication between the people in it. Reeve Harness said the subway was a dream realized by Schreiber with the Board of Transport, the Dept.of Highways and the Canadian Pacific Railway all contributing to ease the burden on the town. Mr .Looney said since he had worked here with the CPR he well understood the need for an under- pass and rejoiced with the townspeople. C.P.R. Superintendent V .E.Everitt said that, apart from the safety considerations, the subway was also of practical value to the CPR since, until its construc- tion the CPR had to frequently permit installation of temporary crossings through their railway yards to allow targe vehicles to pass to the south side of town.

W.E.D'Arcy and F.V,Harness, local officials of the B.of R.T. and friends, were present to offer congratulations and present a cheque with the good wishes of fellow workers. George has a unique record with the Company in | being the only employee, so far as can be estab- lished, to receive sixty merit marks! Others view with satisfaction or unhappiness the numb er of de- merit (colloquially referred to as Brownies) marks on their records. George's rare award was bestowed while a boy and hostler's helper in the then busy roundhouse when, by quick action he prevented demolition of the building by fire. A personal letter from Sir George Bury, then Vice-president, reads as follows: "Dear Mr .Singleton, - "Ihave just heard of your heroic action at the time of the machinery blow-up in Schreiber. | think such bravery and devotion to duty equals the exploits of any on the battlefield and | deem it necessary to express my admiration and thanks." George had rushed in and shut off the compressor while others, with justification, hesitated to risk their lives. George will continue to live in Schreiber where he came when very yound with his parents. He is a life member of the Royal Canadian Legion.
