Recently a London cou- ple lost 439 pounds of beef New owners and old should know that although these machines do a wonderful job of preserving food. and by making bulk purchases avail- able make real savings in the cost of food possible, there is always the possibil- ity of a substantial loss. In the last few months the spiralling cost of food, par» ticularly of meat, found many families investing in food frezers. So great was the demand that most dealers ran out of stock and the manufacturers were hard pressed to fill orders. Home Food Freezers Should Be On Separate Electric Circuits Representatives of Richmond Hill Town Council were among the many guest who attended the recent “open house” at the metal- llurgical laboratories of Falronbridge Nickel Mines Limited, located on Yonge Street at Roosevelt Drive. They saw how the company conducts its extensive research programs in many areas, including environmental control. vveeKeno weather may be uncenaInâ€"but radio, never!

In some cases it has proved impos- sible to entirely eliminate the odor of rotting food from the freezer when everything possible has been done. This could mean that the owner will never be able to use this expensive piece of equipâ€" ment again. I.

Hydro would also like to see appli- ance manufacturers place warning stickers on these units, strongly recommend- ing they be connected to separate circuits. This would save people a lot of grief. Another suggestion is the use of Fusetron-type fuses in household circuits. This would accommodate th e “starting load” of fractional horsepower motors better than a normal fuse, but they cannot be considered a cure- all. In the above photo Laboratory Metallog- rapher Rene Beland (seated) explains the use of special metals research ‘equipment to (left to right) Ward 6 Councillor Lou Wainwright, Mayor William Lazenby, Regional Councillor Lois Hunt-(1y and Mrs. William Lazenby. JOhn Woodbndge John Bradshaw handled a number of claims for food spoilage resulting from blown fuses or appli- ance breakdowns while the owners were away, recom- mends that anyone going going away on holiday ar- range to have someone check the house. especially the food-keeping appliances, at least twice a week, with authority to have repairs made immediately, if need- ed. A further safety meas- ure, particularly inIthe ev- ent of thunderstorms, is to make sure unneeded elec- trical equipment is discon- nected during holiday ab- sences. “I don‘t think signals are the answer," said Councillor Hangey. “It takes guts to DESIGNERS WRONG? He said also that, al- though the normal signal warrants weren't completely met, because of the difficul- ties experienced by moto- rists at the corner, the de- partment would proceed with the installation of si‘g- rials. Mr. Wilkes said that a re- view of the sight distance from [the left turn lane inn di'ca‘ted it was adequate to enable left turning vehicles to turn in safety, if proper care were taken by the dri- ver. {Hanceyfiowe SayControversial Corner Will Remain Dangerous To improve the situation, advance turn signs would be installed approximately 700 feet in advance of the in- tersection. and supplementa- ry turn signs place-d at the intersection itself. The department made a study of the intersection, which was the scene recent- ly of a double fatality, fol-' lowing correspondence with council and its engineering committee.

Mrs. Hancey made her comments following discus- sion of a letter from the Mi- nistry of Transportation and Richmond Hill Councillor Lois Hancey .told a meeting of York Regional Council last week that she didn‘t thing [the installation of traffic signals at the inter- section of Highway 11 and Stouffville Road was the answer to cleaning up the potential hazard posed by the controversial corner. Economy never looked better. out The engineering report also stated that, before this corners of two-lane roads is signlalized, it should first be channelized, at least to the extent of providing four lanes through the intersec- tion. A traffic signal with- The report did not include the four-person fatality, which occurred at the inter- section September 29. The Township of Georgi- na had requested council to investigate the feasibility of installing traffic control signals at the intersection. FOUR KILLED A subsequent traffic count showed that seven accidents â€" four of which were sub- ject to correction by the in- stallation of lights â€"- and the total summer weekday traffic using the intersec- tion». added up to a combi- nation six percent greater then that required to pass the warrants. A report of the enginee- ring committee recommen- ded the commissioner of engineering be authorized to begin the design of channe- lizaiion and signalization for the intersection. Another intersection, which was also the scene recently of a twoâ€"car collision. in which four people were kil- led. was up before council for discussion. A motion by Mrs. Hancey to send the matter back to the engineering committee, was carried by council. “I defy anyone to make that turn without stopping," he said.

Speaking to the matter, Mayor Roman said that “rto put lights in without channe< lization creates a real schmozzle." It was also pointed out that the whole matter of speed would be reâ€"assessed following completion of 'the road. REAL SCHMOZZLE Council turned down re- quest from the Town of Markham for temporary lights at the intersection of Bayview Avenue and Lau- releaf Road. The York engineering committee. which is chaired by Markham Mayor Anitth- ny Romany, recommended that the request be denied. During the period of re- construction, traffic will be slowed to less than 40 mph and part of the road'will be closed as well. However. as reconstruc- tion of the mad is now un- derway, and the design for the whole roadway will be 60 mph, it was felt that a 50 mph speed limit would be safe at all points along the new roadWay. The town had requested that it be lowered from 50 mph to 40 mph, and that warning signs be erected. Richmond Hill’s request to lower the existing speed limit on Bathurs't Street bet- ween -E1gin Mills and King Roads. was turned down for the time being. Reconstruction of the road is expected to begin early in the next year. would decrease the capacity of the road by about 40 per- cent. The 1974 Pontiac Astre.

Surprising isn't it? So buying an economy car doesn't mean you have to foresake style for price. The new low-profile front end look of the Astre is just the beginning It's backed up by four body styles; the economical Coupe. the versatile Hatchback, the spacious Safari Wagon. and the business Panel Van. In its report, which was passed withoult comment, the engineering committee stated "that. 'of the above roads. Church Street was a regional road, while the othens were township roads. The township ‘had also sought closure at 19th from Highway 27 to the junction with Concession 10 of Lloyd- town, and Concession 10 from Highway 9 'to the vil- lage. It said too [that -%umh did not give access to the highway. Closed from 9 am to 7 pm will be Church Street from the limits of Schom- berg to the 19th Sideroad.
