Oakville Meeting "I have received an answer fro the CNR. in reply to my letter offering to arrange the meeting they wished to have with interested people here about the commuter trains, said Mayor: Alfred «Whit- aker. "I have been asked to con- tact Mr. N. A. Walford, general superintendent of the Southern On- tario District, concerning this meet- gz him the follow- ar Mr. Pringle suggests I get in touch with you in reference to your proposed visit to Oakville to dis- cuss the question of wooden coaches on our commuting trains and the stopping of more trains here. It is not my intention at this time that the town council should officially enter this matter, as I am sure what you will have to tell us at this meeting will make it not necessary for them to do so. But I do feel that Mr. Milne, Mr. Wood and others who are interested would wish to be present, and that you would wish them to know what the railway proposes. I am there- fore appealing to interested people to contact me so that I can advise them of the time of the meeting. the present tenant. Caught With Our Machines Down When we realized that it was vitally necessary that we secure a temporary home for our linotype machine, job presses and newspaper make-up material, we appealed to the Chamber of Commerce to see if they could find a spot where we could set-up tempor- arily pending our permanent home being vacated by one by Yarnold on a pass from Speck. Before the bell rang to end the period Weston had registered another behind Kemp in the Oak- ville net. With this 5-2 lead it appeared that Weston was going to play de- fensive hockey. But when Ernie Duz again bulged the twine for Oak- ville the play opened up again and the visitors turned on the heat to run in two more goals to give them a' 74 lead to go into the final frame. In a fast third stanza, Davison, Snowball and Watson ran in suc- cessive goals and Ashbee robbed satisfied with splitting : Weston--Goal, E. i defense, Burlington and alternates, (Powell, Hurst, Southorn, nd Bennet. foal, Tripp; defense, | DeMarco; Centre, Gal- Wings, Cameron and Fer- alternates, Alcambrack, tterson, Currie, Stevens, ne, Pollack and Begg. s--Referee, Les Kirkpat- sman, Jack Davison. these desperate attempts to gain the equalizer Neil, of the Weston team, outguessed Kemp on a break- away to clinch the game for West- on, the final tally giving them an 86 win.
