"How are you going to keep the inmates interested with only twenty acres? This matter should be laid over. We should not jump into an expenditure which will mean an extra two mills jon the dollar for the next twenty years." The present home in Peel, which Halton shares with that county, Mr. Currie be- lieved satisfactory. Wickson in Favor Replying to Mr. Currie, Deputy- Reeve Joseph Wickson of Tra- falgar pointed out that the new home would be so constructed that it could be easily enlarged to accommodate as many as 250 peo- ple. The present home, he said, was overcrowded, and to enlarge would cost about $350,000. In the long run the cost of the new buildings would not be much more. than that of remodelling the Peel- Halton home. "I think we are making a move «in the right dir- ection," said Mr. Wickson. Reeve Dick, chairman of the home committee, stated that there were 56 inmates in the Peel-Hal- ton home at present, that men were obliged to sleep in the base- ment, and the women's dormitory was over-crowded. "According to a prediction made by the Bank of Nova Scotia we are definitely heading into an era when society will be top-heavy with old peo- ple," said Mr, Dick.

ONTE 91 ESERVATION = > 09 (62 kr) Q On Wednesday evening, Octob- er 18th, before a large gathering of parents, "Going Up Exercises" were held at Teen Town for some 15 Cubs of the three Oakville Packs. These boys, having com- pleted their course in Cubbing, were warmly welcomed into eith- er the Sea Scout Troop by Scout- er "Skip" Wilkes or into the 3rd Oakville Troop by Scouter "Vince" Dunston. During the evening, ef- ficiency badges were presented to a number of the Cubs and Scouts. "Thank You" badges were also presented to Mr. Len Hope and Dr. Bob Appleford who kindly SCOUT, SEA SCOUT TROOPS conducted the first aid courses during the past year. At the con- clusion of the exercises, refresh- ments were served. In extending a welcome to the parents, the President of the Lo- cal Association, Mr. C. H.

Four runs were plated before Ian got the side out, and the Wheatley clouters kept right on going to tag on another seven counters in the seventh and eighth That was all--but it was more than" plenty. Only Three Hits For their part, the local kids could garner but three hits from the lefthanded offerings of burly Wayne Beattie, 5 ft. 9 inch, 170 pound Wheatley hurler who tow- || ered over such Motors mites as | Skin Brown and Ross Dryden. McCutcheon scored in the second when he walked, stole second, and came in on infield out and an error. Medland tripled in the ninth, plating George Fraser who had walked. Then Bill Richmond singled in the ninth to bring in Dugan Brown, who was safe on error. Bill Anderson's second frame single was the only other Motors. hit. All in all, it was a bad game the local kids got out of their systems, and their performance was definitely far from indicative of their potential capabilities. It was unfortunate that they were forced to go down under such a powerhouse batting attack before their hometown boosters, but it was just one of those things. Coach Bud: Corbett, although ful- ly appreciative of the fact that a terrifically tough task faces his proteges when they journey to Wheatley Sunday for the rubber game, remains confident that the squad will provide a very stiff brand «of opposition the Wheatley lads for PHONE 76 CHAS.

Ghosts and goblins . witches and monsters . . . perhaps even the headless horseman will go a- haunting Oakville's yictoria Hall come 8.30 for an evening of fun and frolic, so dig into your treas: ure chest and get out those cos- tumes and join in the festivities. Prizes for the most original costume, the funniest costume, and the best couple will be awarded following the grand march, Prizes which we may say are not to be scoffed at. If you think we're kidding you just wait and see what council has to of- fer come Friday. We need ndt stress the desire that everyone come in costume, but some just don't like dressing up. Just remember the admission is 60c without one and besides a poor sport never has fun at a party. Teen Town treasurer Bruce Squires has his own problems these days. After all unpaid bills were cleared up the cash register read close to empty and Bruce was pulling out his hair by the roots. However, things have brightened up and said treasurer is resting easier now. So wrapped up in his job is this fellow that rumour has it he is coming to the party dressed as a money bag. Surely this is just a rumour. The return of "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer' and the ap- pearance of a newcomer in the form of "Frosty the. Snowman," remind us that it is just two months' till Christmas, and most important of all the Christmas Formal. Council has already start- d to set the stage for this big nnual affair so keep a watchful eye on the column and we will try to keep you up to date on the proceedings. By the way, congratulations to the Girls' Atheltic Society of the High School for their very suc- cessful dance last Friday. Too bad they couldn't have celebrated a football victory at the same time, but you just can't beat that Burl- ington gang when it comes to football. ef aj ARTS AND CRAFTS START WINTER CONCERT SERIES The season's first music appre- clation evening, sponsored by Oalkville"s 'Arts and Crafts' Inc, is scheduled to take place tonight (Thursday) at 815 pm.
