WALDERSTON:
THE USUAL CIVIC-mindedness was evident in Northeast Manchester as cheerful groups performed Labour Day tasks in unusually fine weather.
At the Percy Junor Public Hospital, the chief executive officer Stanhope Scott, the medical team, and other staff members, the Kiwanis club of Spalding and Christiana, and the Calvary Gospel Group, ensured that the pathway to the morgue was more safe for the living and smoother for the dead.
The pathway along which trolleys bearing the dead traverse ever so often was paved as part of the Labour Day project for the day. Dr. Bradley Edwards, the senior medical officer, said that the smoothing over of the previously bumpy surface was considered a road safety measure.
The police in Kendal, about 20 km away, painted the station there blue and white. They were assisted by a group of seven persons from the National Water Commission in Mandeville led by Public Relations Officer, Karen Brown. Sergeant W. Walters, the sub-officer in charge said the walls badly needed the facelift.
The Christiana police led by Inspector R.M. Hardy painted pedestrian crossings on Main Street in the town and at Struan. The Parent Teachers Association (PTA) at the Lloyd Ffrench Basic School painted the walls at that institution.
And at the Chantilly Primary School, more than 250 students were treated by the Citizens Association. Councillor for the Walderston Division, Leroy Mitchell, presented the school with road safety signs.
