Revamped Panthers Plan For Next Campaign Encouraged by the remarkable team spirit which developed during this season's initial sortee into the powerful Intermediate O.R.E.U: group, Oakville's erstwhile Panthers met recently to elect officers and lay plans for next year's pigskin wars. Far from dismayed at their inability to register a single victory over their much more experienced Oshawa, Peterboro and Orillia rivals, the local gridders discarded the name Panthers in favour of Braves, selected black and white as offi- cial colours, scheduled winter get-to-gethers to keep the team workouts as a prelude to their next grid campaign. John Black was named president; Ralph Stur- rup vice-pres. and manager; Harold Hooks will serve as secretary, and Pete Tizzard is the new treasurer. And to climax all this post-season activity, the banquet which was held at Victoria hall last night, with Frank Gnup, astute coach of ng speaker.

Bronte Residents Seek Solution To New Water Problem Some 50 Bronte households will face an acute water short- age by the first of the year should A. O. Flumerfelt aghere to his decision to cease operation of the modest water system in- stalled by .his late father in 1937. Mr. Flumerfelt, who laid the main which services the 50 fam- ilies, advised consumers recently he would discontinue the service December 31. Discussion following last Fri- day's nomination meeting led to the appointment of a fact-find- ing committee to confer with Mr. Flummerfelt in an attempt to ascertain what could be done to maintain the service. It was suggested the system might be taken over by either Bronte vil- lage commission or the consum- ers themselves. One resident placed a tentative value of $5000 on the equipment, Serving on the committee are J, P. Joyce, Ray. Johnson, Robert Wakely, Watkin Martin, Robert Joyce and D. A. Allen. The village came under discussion Monday night, when residents met in Bronte school to hear as- pirants for township council. R. C. A. Cumberland, seeking re- election as councillor, declared the village "must become alert to the inevitable necessity" of extending the water system. "With a population of 1000, Mother Earth can't be expected to cope with the situation," he stated. "No stone should be left unturned to bring water to Bronte to maintain the health of water question ain Town Exceeds New Power Quota, Trafalgar Halts Night Cut-offs. Traflagar consumers this week welcomed the announce- ment that evening power cuts will be discontinued for the pre- sent at least. The decision closely followed a previous announce- ment that altered ; the evening cutoff schedule. Town consumers, on the other hand, apparently let precaution- ary measures go by the board upon hearing Hydro has allotted a five percent quota increase, Oakville Water and Light Com- mission graphs would indicate. According to Russell Barlow, commission manager, residents went over their new: quota Tues- day by 100 kilowatt hours. The revised quota is 29,900 kilowatt hours, as compared with the former figure of 27,880 kilowatt hours. "We hoped the extra five per- cent would ease the pressure, but didn't expect residents to throw conservation measures to the winds," stated Hilmer Lof- quist, commission chairman. "Every effort must still be made to save power, or welll have to have cuts." Explaining he had heard re- ports that some residents appar- ently believe joining the Hydro family will mean a cycle change here, Mr. Lofquist stressed the fact that "absolutely no change will be required in our present technical setup. "We would continue on 60 cycle," he affirmed. 'Another point in favour of a 'Yes' vote is the fact that a jump in the rate structure is a probability with- in the next year. By joining hy- dro, we hope to establish sav- ings which will control a raise in rates." & THESE ARE YOUR CANDIDATES OAKVILLE Mayor JAS. R. BLACK HOWARD S. LITCHFIELD Reeve P. W.

The Open Doors A hospital is not just a build- ing where the sick are cared for, where vital operations are performed, where babies are horn, and the aged die; it is much more than that. It is a symbol of how men and women and children, all working to- gether, can build something out of the community feeling and spirit. Such is Oakville-Trafal- gar Memorial Hospital. Approx- imately three years from now, the people of Oakville will look at this shining, new building, and will say, with just pride, "This is OUR hospital. WE built it." Yes, they build the hospital. Every man, woman, and, child, every business man, housewife and student will make it possible for that hospit- (Continued on Page 11) The outstanding prize winning essays follow, under pective bylines of their student authors: Students Solidly Back Hospital, Journal Contest Judges Announce Although judges in The Journal essay contest found difficulty in the final selection of the winners, it was their unanimous decis- theme, "Why We Need A Hospital", was best develop- Pearce, Oakville-Trafalgar High School student, and Donald Gibson, pupil at Central public school.

Why give? These are two questions asked around town this month. The Hospital wants you to give because they need the money-badly. They also want you to give because with the contribution, you may save your own life and perhaps many others, We need this hospital of ours very urgently. Think of the doc- tor's time and the money wast- ed in going to Toronto and Hamilton. The city hospitals could legally refuse you as a patient. They haven't even enough room for the sick of their own municipality. A per- son that was in a critical con- dition might not live for twenty long miles.
