Sergea t Woodward was the only one of he Canadian drivers to accompany the royal couple on that part of their trip. Sergeant Woodward is no stranger to royalty. In 1957 he drove the Duchess of Kent and he chauffered Princess Margaret on her Canadian visit last year. He enlisted with the RCSC active force in 1944 at the age of 17 and served duty tours in Japan, Korea, and the Middle East. He was also stationed at White Horse, Yukon, before being trans- ferred to Ortona Barracks. How does one become a driver for VIPs? Sergeant Woodward was screened from a nationâ€"wide pool of RCSC VIP drivers. They all had to write exacting exam- inations at Ottawa and from the test the select group was chosen. Major Howard Patrick of Cen- tral Command, said, “Woodward was selected because he is calm, alert, pleasant and is at ease with VIP's". who is Undergo Trainingr Weeks of rigorous training and instruction followed the selection of the drivers, among their in- structions were such things as “sit erect, never turn your head, and grasp the steering wheel at the bottom." Drivers of the Royal cars are not allowed to use rear view mirrors and they are sep- arated from the Royal couple by a_ glass partition. The drivers are also trained to drive at extremely high and low speeds â€" to brake smoothly. no matter what the speed. According to Ruth Woodward, the toughest 'part of the training is learning correct judgment in drawing the car up to a red car- pet, so the back door is immed- iately alongside . . . this must be done without. the chauffeur Sergeant Woodward is seen above standing on the right side of the royal Continental’Mark IV in which he has been driving the royal couple during their Canadian tour. 0n the left of the picture is an- other driver, Sergeant C.

It is their job to keep their limousines glistening â€" and they have also undergone intensive training on how to address the Royal couple. As for the car Sergeant Wood- ward is driving during the tour, it features such extras as a six- way seat that operates with a push button and lifts the Queen up or tilts her back. whichever she prefers during driving; the car has two air conditioning units which will bring the air down to a cool 72 degress; special interior lighting to illuminate the Royal couple as they ride through the streets at night. and the hood of the Mark IV is made from a heat- repelling fabric that folds down like a convertible.

In its report the board stated jogs create extra road crossing and are extreme trafi'ic hazards. % Roads with jogs are said to be of ‘ bad design.

The Department of Highways approved the original extension ' for subsidy purposes but did not favour the inclusion of any jogs. ., The extension will be built to De~ partment of Highways standards aid will receive a 50% subsidy. The actual construction of the road will be done by the township road department. Road Committee Chairman L. Mumberson tabled estimates for constructing the extension in three stages. Elgin Street to John Street $3,370.00. Elgin Street to Henderson Avenue $5,437.50, and Elgin Street to Johnson Avenue $4,930.00 Specifications call for an asphalt road. Council will pro- ceed with the Elgin Street to Henderson Avenue and the Elgin Stree" to Johnson Avenue exten- sions and temporarily shelve the Elgin Street John Street exten- sion.

Dean who gave the strongest support to the ratepayers request for jogs on the road felt council could be criticiz- ed if it used money collected from the lot owners along the ex- tensions towards the cost of con- struction the road. In reply Mr. Mumberson contended Markham was not building roads for the benefit of the subdividers but to open up its own township.
