The introdu- ctions to this book are an inter- esting and informative history of Oakville and a story of the for- mation and growth of the local chapter. We requested the rights to reprint these and take pleasure in presenting them at this time with the permission of the Angela Bruce Chapter LO.D.E. -- Ed. THE TOWN OF OAKVILLE Beautifully situated on Lake Ontario and the high wooded banks of the Sixteen Mile Creek, Oakville is one of Ontario's oldest and most charming towns. In July, 1837, the land on which Oakville is located originally con- sisted of 960 acres and was pur- chased at public auction from the crown by Colonel William Chis- holm. It was incorporated in 1857 and in 1877 possessed the only High School in Halton County. 3 : 9 Oakville was noted for its shib- |; ombership of twenty-four.

It is alleged that from this act-| ivity, the town derived its name. Primarily a busy lake port, old residents recall the time when a continuous line of wagons loaded with grain, extended from the north end to the harbour, for ship- ping on the old-time sailing ves- sels. With the recent remodelling | of the harbour and construction of a marine railway, there will be ample | facilities for ocean-going: steamers as well as berths for pleasure craft. As well as being one of the no- | ted residential 'towns in Ontario, with its beautiful trees and fine estates, Oakville is developing commercially, having approxima- tely 37 manufacturing firms -- many of their products being mar- Ieted throughout the world. The population is estimated "at over 5,000. There are excellent educational facilities. Besides the Public, High and Separate Schools, there is a private day school for girls and Appleby College -- a private boarding and day school for boys --based on the principles of the best schools of England. i The 'cultural life is stimulated by an Arts and Crafts Associa- tion and an excellent Public Li- brary. The White Oak and Angela Bruce Chapters, LODE, give generous support to all worth- avhile projects. The Rotary, Lions Clubs, Chani- 'ber of Commerce and Amateur Sports Association make valuable contributions to community life. The Oakville Club is a popular social centre.

Oakville citizens will not soon forget the LOD.E. truck, bearing the slogan "Save Scrap to Win the Scrap" that travelled the streets of Oakville collecting sal- vage during and for some time af- ter the War. "Come Wind, Come. Weather" this old} truck never failed to function. What member will ever forget heaving heavy bundles or sorting papers, rags, bones and bottles in an unheated building in zero weather?
