COMMUNITY COUNCIL Outlines Plans Proposed by Citizen Council Aldershot, Apr. 19, 1951. Robert Pinhay addressed the meeting of the of the Maplehurst Home and School Association last night on the formation of an Aldershot Community Council. Stressing the need for such a group here, he pointed out that there was not a single playground in the district, outside of La Salle [LaSalle] Park, (which is owned by the City of Hamilton). Traffic and safety would form an important department of the council, he said, and if it received the whole-hearted support of the 2,700 residents in the area, the council would have a powerful voice in approaching officials at Queen's Park with regard to safety precautions along the highway. Mr. Pinhay reported that a public meeting would be held at Fairfield School on April 23rd when a constitution for the Aidershot Community Council and a slate of officers chosen by the nominationg committee would be presented, "If you are interested in your home, your children and your community, I would like to see you at the meeting," he said. A campaign for memberships in the council would begin next week, with canvassers calling at every home from Indian Point to Bridgeview Survey, Mr. Pinhay explained. The membership fee is $1. per family. The speaker was introduced by Don Grierson and thanked by W. Milson, the Principal. The laying of water mains along the highway has made it necessary for the pupils to walk some distance along the pavement, with oncoming traffic behind them. Mr. Millson reported that Mrs. H. E. Hanson, of the W. I. [Women's Institute] had been in touch with the provincial police in this regard and that they had promised to patrol the highway before and after school hours. The prize for the largest attendance of parents was won by Mrs. Millson's class, Grade One. In accepting the prize, Mrs. Millson said that a similar award won several months ago had been used to buy goldfish and that the children had been very anxious to win again so that they could have some more goldfish. Aldershot Aces To Play In Lincoln-Wentworth Aldershot, April 21, 1951.

The League consists of teams from Stoney Creek, Smithville, Burlington, Hamilton Beach and Aldershot, and is made up of players who are 18 years of age or under on May 1. The league will be operated under the same ruling as the intermediate teams in the Lincoln-Wentworth floodlight League. At the meeting P.

The League starts on Thursday, May 29 and arrangements have been made for all the home games to be played at Waterdown Floodlight Park, starting at 8.30pm.
