Both were active workers in the recent drive conducted by people of St. Jude's are ille's main quiring a new surface for the time since the concrete Tor- fir onto-Hamilton highway was laid through the town back in 1915. Late last week a gang of men from the King Paving Company, which has the contract for the work, started laying strips of smooth black asphalt on top of the scarred, patched concrete sur- face of Colborne Street. The big asphalt spreader, re cently acquired by the company, can lay about 15,000 lineal feet of tenfoot strip under favorable circumstances. But' the heavy traffic on Colborne Street slowed the machine down to about one- fourth this rate, and the job will not be completed until some timé next week. - After the first coating has been laid a top coating will be added. The new surface will extend from Dundas Street to the town's west- ern limits. Total number of square feet in this section is estimated at 16,000. Besides the spreader, two big rollers and eight trucks are being used in the work. The contract price for the resurfac- ing job is $30,902.

The Journal joins with com- muters and other citizens' of Oakville in wishing many happy returns (to D. O. "Doc" Camer- on, one of Oakville's oldest cit- izens, the town's veteran com- muter, and one of Canada's old- est practising lawyers. "Doc," who will be ninety-one this com- ing Saturday, is still able to commute by train to his office in Toronto, as he has been doing since May 1892. He's not taking on any new cases, however, he confided to the Journal--just cleaning up the work onjphand.' But he still takes a keen inter- est in things 'and manages to read the papers without the aid of spectacles. Many happy re- turns, Doc! Happy 'B committee of the town council, expressed himself very pleased with the progress of the work in a telephone conversation with the Journal. "They're making splen- did time," said the reeve. "The new surface is going to be a big asset to the town." (Continued from 'Page 1) and women canvassers.;Hstead of the customary sermon, = Charles Ambler addressed the congrega- tion with regard to the amount required from each Anglican fam- ily if the objective Was to be rais- ed. He mentioned that several donations had been received from citizens, not members of the Ang- lican faith, and that this indicated the good wishes that were with all Christians who set out on a wor- thy cause. Following the service the wo- men's organizations served lunch- eon to the canyassers and organ- izers in the parish hall. Ban Tay- lor, chairman of the general can- vass group briefed all canyassers on their responsibilities. Team captains remained in the parish hall to receive returns from their team members. Canvassers, each with only a few calls to make, .| left on their rounds at 1.30, and within half an hour the first one was back with his calls complet ed. A comprehensive publicity cam- paign launched in advance had included pledgé cards to be com- pleted, so that most canyassers merely were required to pick up the completed cards. ST. JUDE'S BLITZ SUCCESSFUL Rector Fred Jackson was ex- tremely pleased with the results achieved. He also expressed con- fidence that the total would reach the objective. He was confident that the remaining families would give support in the same propor. tion which would make the three- phase program possible. Included in the $60,000 are re- pairs to St. Jude's, including a new heating system now installed, work on windows, belfry and floors, and the building of a new vestibule on the north end of the church. A beginning of a new church, to be located in the For- ster Survey, and to be called the Chapel of, Ease, was also a part of the program. It is planned to start the building of this new church next spring. Rey. R. H. Howson, who has been conducting a make-shift Sunday school in Westwood school for the children on the west side of 16-mile Creek, expressed his pleasure over the apparent cer- tainty he swould have a suitable church building in which to con- duct this vital work in the future. "I have always felt that with a church building we would be able to do a much better job," he said. "Now 'we are to haye it I know all mothers and fathers in this arealwill be pleased."
