Following is that report: "Left Terrace Bay at 9.30 a.m, Saturday, August 27th, arrived White River business section 11,15 a.m. Arrived lst Barrier . 11.50 a.m,, which is three miles out of White River, There were 30 cars lined up when we arrived there, They let us through at exactly 12 noon and the car lineup didn't present any problem as we soon were spread out. There were 16 U.S.A. cars and two from Manitoba in this first 30, Second barrier at Mileage 160 from T. Bay but no delay here, The road is very good. The few short stretches that are now being paved are gravelled and well graded. Wawa is not , directly on the new road so we did not see it but the turning off point is 169 miles from Terrace Bay. At Agawa Park, 224 miles from T, Bay, the old section of road starts. This is fair - but as you reach Botchowana Bay the 'road is only fair - some construction and rest of road is old - potholes and bumps. Arrived at Soo 4.00 p.m., so with half hour lost at White River, running time was six hours for 316 miles to downtown Soo, There are only a couple of isolated gas stations from White River on but starting at Botchowana Bay there are several. Arrived at Sudbury 9,00 p.m., after stopping for a meal at the Soo for one hour. There are a number of good motels all along the road between the Soo and Sudbury", MRS, ALICE FARROW TAKES TOP HONORS AT SIXTH ANNUAL FLOWER AND VEGETABLE SHOW Mrs. A lice Farrow walked off with the Wills Nursery Trophy Saturday, August 27th, at the Sixth Annual Flower and Vegetable Show sponsored by the Terrace Bay Horticult- ural Society, As the grand aggregate winner, Mrs. Farrow received with her trophy a load of top soil from the Corporation of the Township of Terrace Bay.
