Mrs. 'Mabel Joyce presided at the organ, and opened the serv- ice with an Organ Prelude to Worship. The choir entered sing- ing the Candle Light Processional Hymn, "Joy to the World". Rev. N. F. Swackhammer read the scriptures. from 1st chapter of Luke, verses 26, 33. The first Liv Picture entitled "The Annunciation (Fra An- gelico)" appeared on the screen to the accompaniment of a ladies' quartette singing 'The Mag nificat".

Eder, and to the many others who helped to make the service one of inspiration At the close of the service the ,| choir proceeded from the church auditorium singing the Reces- sional Hymn, 'Silent Night". Road Situation Snow combined with ice today to slow vital services in Oshawa and district. The Oshawa citv yard reports men and five trucks out from 5 p.m. to 9.30 p.m. Monday, sand- ing and salting, and removing tree limbs. Simcoe street north, William and. Colborne streets, was partially blocked off last night and this morning to allow a work crew to trim a big elm. If was feared that branches would fall stalling traffic and possibly causing personal injury. SOME IMPROVEMENTS ; George F. Shreve, public utili- ties general manager, said the sit- uation 'was improving' and that jce was still the main problem. Oshawa has not been without power but service in various dis- tricts has been sporadic. : Mr. Shreve said the PUC is responsible for areas from west of Pickering Village, north boun- daries of the lakeshore townships and east to the east side of Cour- tice. Two wing ploughs and three graders were out for seven hours early this morning, coming in at 38 am. Two trucks were busy sanding and salting. Later, another truck and gra- der were added. Shovel - equipped crews were clearing intersections and side- walks. WINDS CAUSE DAMAGE Bell Telephone's plant wire chief, J. C.

They rented and equipped a 30 foot-square room in a hotel base- ment and jammed it with relics of the sea.

"There are 1400 telephones out of order in the district," said Mr. Dudley. "We have 110 men work- ing to restore the service. Some of them were from out of town help, who were called in from areas not hit so hard." Telephone service in Oshawa proper is almost 100 per cent.

BOWMANVILLE DIGS OUT In Bowmanville, the town jeep, truck, grader, salt truck and loader were pressed into use at 4 a.m, today under the direction of Acting Works Superintendent John Geboers.

It is receiving presentations from various public bodies. Some of the proposals being made are radical in the ex- treme, and in at least one case, envisage the abolition of the Lon- don County Council as an over-all governing body. London is a unique growth. It 3 - has emerged by rule of thumb over the centuries. Most attempts to organize it have been stopgap measures. The creation of the London County Council was a radical and sweeping attempt to impose a pattern on something that without pattern. But al- though the LCC has done 'some splendid work, its very existence has created confusion. Some of London's services, notably educa- tion, and completely under its control, while others are left en- ti to the local borough coun- cils. This had greatly reduced the stature of the borough councils, - because they do not control some of the important aspects -of local government, such as the creation of housing estates. There are some anomalies, too. Croydon is just outside the Lon- don County Council area, so it runs its own schools. Wands- worth, next door, and with half as many people again as Croydon does' not. DRASTIC PROPOSALS Some of the most drastic pro- posals for creation of a new sys- tem of government for London | Presenting its views to the royal commission, its spokesman, Alderman Sir Percy Rugg, said "London government today is over 1s convenient for good municipal administration." The society's proposals, he said, would mean an increased knowledge and understanding of local government by the public. LCC WOULD DISAPPEAR One of the objectives of the so- |ciety's proposals is to put a | greater emphasis on local rather {than national issues in municipal elections. { Under the proposed scheme, al- most all of the local services would be given to a series of county boroughs, each having a population of around 250,000 peo- ple. They would be formed by amalgamating, where necessary, the existing London boroughs. The London County Council would disappear. A "Greater London Authority" covering an area in which eight {million people live, would run fire and ambulance services, main drainage, over-all planning, be responsible for bridges tunnels, This authoritv elected by the new London councils from among their mem- and But all was cold and dark until nine in the morning and people] went to work without a hot break- fast. serviced houses went bors in older houses still equipped with cook stoves and boiled a ket- tle of water for tea.
