"Across The Line ‘Fence" will deal with what pg:gl: | in the country are doing, t they‘re thinking of doing, and what | happens outside of the moreâ€"thickâ€" ly populated areas of Waterloo / County. The village of Baden lacks reâ€" creational facilities, according to Rita Koenig, one of the upâ€"andâ€" coming citizens of that community. This pert miss says that the only ertertainment provided for in Baâ€" den is the one pool table in the fire hall and that is restricted to the firemen. Young people haven‘t a single place in which to put in their leisure time. _ _ _ _ _ Spri PS ie mnon en She thinks it would be a good idea for the citizens of Baden and vicinity to get together and build u combined dance hall and comâ€" munity centre.. . Motorists _ travelling _ through Winterbourne will soon be able to drive with â€" considerable â€" safety ‘over the bridge crossing the Winâ€" ‘terbourne dam. The bridge itself has long been a bottleneck to the travelling public and dangerous to pedestrians walking along at night. | Actually it is nearly impossible for two vehicles to pass in the dayâ€" light unless, of course, the means of transportation are baby carriâ€" ages. We‘ve tried passing other \cars on the bridge with our old jaâ€" l lepy and it just doesn‘t u_,"ofl_(. 2 After a little investigation, we ure informed that narrowâ€"mindedâ€" hness on the part of a few individâ€" vals is holding up the w_gyks. C More power to you Rita, after all you live but once! M ie n dnc oonneee 4 e On several occasions during the past three or four years, cals and trucks have either taken off sevâ€" eral guard posts near the bridge or grazed the steel railings, guarding cars and trucks from the murky dépths on either side. Two years ago a large truck snapped off a steel post and how the driver esâ€" caped with his life still remains a mystery. . _ _ _ George Emrey, the road superinâ€" tendent for Waterloo County, inâ€" formed us in a telephone conversaâ€" tion that this condition will be eliminated to a great extent earx this summer. The two hills n and south of the bridge will be levelled â€" considerably and . the bridge is to be widened to a stanâ€" dard road width of 24 feet. At present the bridge is only 12 feet wide. Last year an Elmira motorist travelling through Winterbourne hcd the daylights scared out of him when his car struck a hole in the jroad near the bridge, slid to the side, tore off four guard poles and 1topptlcd over a 25â€"foot embankâ€" ment. Every community is judged to a great extent by the quality of its roads. Actually the highway from Bridgeport to Winterbourne is one mc We PC o Do ns eneiat of the finest in the province. lt's} that halfâ€"mile stretch of unpaved road immediately outside the vilâ€" lage that remains an eyesore and u public hazard especially in the fall and spring seasons when the roads get boggy. | By some unforseen stroke of \ luck this unfortunate individual kalso escaped with nothing worse than a thorough soaking in the \ creek directly below. So far there i have been no fatalitiesâ€"but why The rather odd part of this tale is that, after falling over the emâ€" bankment and soaking in the waâ€" ter half an hour until dragged out‘ by two tow trucks, the car took to the road again without difficulty. \My, some cars have intestinal forâ€" | titude! k Seriouslé speaking, We don‘t think the Elmira man has used this wait until there is | May road since Mr. Emrey says this unfortunate road condition, too, will be elimâ€" inated after the project gets well underway. If everything proceeds according to schedule, the underâ€" taking will get underway in May. The Waterloo roads official also stated that a muchâ€"needed bridge will be constructed in New Hamâ€" Nhurg Apparently a similar condiâ€" tion exists in that town near Bleems road. This project will not however..get u.nderyny \:ntil July.
