McNab, Deputy Minister, Ministry of Transportation & Communications. Dear Mr. McNab, I am writing to call your attention to a very serious and hazardous condition immediately west of Steel River Bridge on Highway I7, Thunder Bay District. : There have been far toc many fatal accidents at this location and many incidents with severe perscnal injury and property damage due to poor alignment and faulty elevation. Westbound and traffic coming off Steel River Bridge is faced with a railway on the left, a wayside park on the right and a flat curve which must be negotiated when driver distraction is at a maximum. The latest fatal accident occurred about one month ago and this is a repeat of many similar incidents which are becoming far too numerous. I think it is accurate to say that local resi- dents have learned to compensate for these dis- tractions and faulty elevation but tourists who are unfamiliar with road conditions at this point are unable to negotiate the turn without great difficulty. The condition has been brought to my attention by many concerned citizens, including a Coroner and law enforcement officers. I respectfully urge you to have it investigated immediately so that maximum protection can be provided to the travelling public. Your interest and concern in this matter is anxiously awaited. Jack Stokes, MPP. Thunder Bay.

The Expos were so hot, it prompted club general manager Jim Fanning to compare them with the I969 New York Mets. The '69 Miracle Mets, if you remember, won the pennant and went on to take the World Series in five games (or was it six games?) . Matter of fact, Fanning went as far as to say that his I973 version of the Expos were even better than the '69 Mets. The Expos, before dropping a 3-2, I2-inning heartbreaker to Los Angeles Dodgers Sunday, June I7, had won seven consecutive games and had pulled to within 3% games of the front- running Chicago Cubs. Also, they held a firm 3-game lead on third place St. Louis Cardinals and looked like honest-to-goodness world-beat- ers. Expos were doing so well that only four other teams in the 24-team major leagues had better records than they - the Cubs, San Fran- continued page 4 e closer people work together, the faster the work gets done, and the more profit you make.
