It is expected that great success will attend this year's drive, as the people of the County have shown their interest in this work to stamp out tuberculosis by the way they turned out for the mass x-ray surveys which have been completed: 13,700 inhabitants of the County were x-rayed this year. An objective of a like, or greater number has been set for next year.

Families and renters are associated members and are mot asked to pay fees. But Mr. Auden does have a Post Script stating that the by-laws do not prevent an assotiate member paying if they so wish. Report of Activities General Since the inaugural meeting in the spring, the General Committee has been in touch with activities in the district, and has tried to ry out the wishes of the prop- y owners as a whole, bearing in mind that on occasions comprom- ise solutions are necessary. Thera follows a brief summary of the ac- tivities, including the discussions that took place at the General Meeting on November 6th. Restrictions In April of this year a request was submitted to the Township Council asking for restrictions in Linbrook Roads. After several dis- cussions with the Council it has been found impracticable to ob- tain restrictions "for the entire minority of the property owners, an amended priposed by-law was submitted. The amended proposal excludes from the restrictions a strip parallel to the railway ex- tending from the easterly limits of Oakville to a distance 1,300 feet east of the 8th Line. The proposed by-law has been given its third reading by the Township Coun- cil and has now been forwarded to the Municipal Board for ap- proval. Tea-Room The property on the Lakeshore Highway known as "Avalon" has) recently been purchased for the purpose of opening a tea-room Unfortunately, the new owner, Mrs. Hamilton, did not have legal advice at the time of purchase and in her preliminary discussions she did not realize that the area is restricted. The question was fully discussed at the meeting on Nov- ember 6th, and the general opin- ion of those present was that, through the proposed tea-room in itself might be satisfactory, it would be unwise to jeopardize the future of the area by asking the area hordering the railway, and, in order to met the wishes of a| Township Council to amend the (Continued on Page 8) 1 percent other diseases.
