The major- ity felt there was not anything to discourage a doctor taking up practice in our community, due to the fact we have Halton Co-oper- ative Medical services. As to what should be done to make it more attractive for a doc- tor, it was felt that ready assist- ance be given during wintry weather to help the doctor reach his destination, improved tele- phone service, and a prepaid me- dical and sickness policy would encourage a doctor. Bells Korum suggested paving of Milton main street. LET OTHERS GROAN, SHE'S Some tolerate snow, some hate snow, some refuse to step outside the door when there's snow on the ground.

In a covering letter to Stanley Hall the dlub expressed itself as 8 prepar- ed to underwrite the cost of sig- nal arms for school buses used in the immediate vicinity. The letter also urged Halton county's Provincial member to do all in his power to expedite the passing of the mecessary legislation. The resolution was worded 'as follows: "We, the Lions Club of Oak- ville, have resolved to concur with the above proposal and respect- fully urge you to do all in your power to further the adoption of such measures which will cause legislation to be enacted to pro- vide the protection deemed vitally necessary for the childrens' safe- ty." -MAIL FOR TROOPS Christmas mail for Canadian troops stationed at Fort Lewis, 'Washington, warns postmaster Bill Litchfield, should be posted in plenty of time to arrive in Van- couver, B. by December 20 (for letters) and December 18 (for parcels).

At its regular meeting Thursday evening, the board of of Oakville-Trafalgar governors Memorial Hospital accepted the offer of 'A. Berrill, real estate dealer, to purchase the hospital for a price of $14,000. After ag- ent's commission has been de- ducted 'and the $5,000 mortgage paid the: board will receive $8, 500. Mr. Berrill's client, a Bath- urst, New Brunswick, man, plans to convert the building for use as a convalescent hospital. In pass- ing the motion accepting this of- fer, the board agreed to recom- mend approval of the project to the town council. Only Two Offers The only other ofier received was from a local man who wanted to turn the building into apart ments. The price offered was $13, 100, with no commission. A pre- vious offer to purchase the build- ing for apartments fell through when the project was opposed by First Street residents, A suggestion to erect a plaque in the hospital's entrance hall, in recognition of the Chisholm fam- ily's gift of the building site, was put before the board by M. Auden. The matter will be refer- red to a member of the family. Total operating revenue of $81, 602.43 for the first eight months of the hospital's operation, to October 31, was shown by-the re- port of the management commit- tee presented by D. H. Stevens, chairman. There was an operating deficit of $2,313.38, and a net de- ficit of $3,605.21. Reduced Deficit "The monthly deficit has been reduced from $1,000 to $350.00" pointed out Tom Chisholm, chair- man of the board. "We show a pro- fit over the last two months. Next month we will probably have a def as occupancy at that sea- son will be low. However, there is a distinct possibility that be- fore long this board will be oper- ating on an even money basis." D. Hamilton-Wright, auditor, pointed out in his report that pledges due September 30 were short $928.81. He was quite opti- mistic regarding the financial prospects of the hospital, how- ever, and highly commended the board and committee members, as well as the management, on their efforts. "I think you are doing a great job for the people of Oak- ville," he declared. Position Improves A. M. Munro, chairman of the finance committee, declared the ospital"s financial position was definitely improving, and that it might be possible to reduce the loan from $45,0000 to $30,000 by the end of the year. After considerable discussion, the board accepted the manage- ment committee's recommenda- tion that a policy be adopted to coincide with that in effect in oth- er hospitals, of payment in ad- vance for hospital care in cases master, Vancouver, B.C. in which the patient is not coy- o ORDER NOW FOR CHRISTMAS FILTER QUEEN America's BAGLESS Cleaner Bam n the NEW 5 Scienitenlly soondprocied Black & Dacker mofor. ot runnin Completely new and different . . . that's FILTER.

X-Ray Functions Well S. W. Martin, consultant, re- ported that the hospital's laundry service, and also the meals, were considerably improved, and Dr. M. E. Lunau, reporting for the Medical Advisory Council, said that the X-ray department was now functioning smoothly. More than two hundred cases were X-rayed during the past month, which was an increase of 50 per- cent. The board adopted the rec- ommendation of Dr. Burke, part- time radiologist, for the purchase of $500 worth of equipment. Lady Baillle, president of the hospital Women's Auxiliary, who was pre- sent, offered to donate the net proceeds from the play sponsored by the Auxiliary, amounting to $240.60, towards the cost. The contract of S. W. Martin was extended for a six-month period. TEEN TOWN By Don Lovegreve "Back to normal." That is our description of the Friday evening shindig at Teen Town. After a very poor Saturday nights the week be- fore, we began to wonder if all the members had deserted. Ap parently examinations took a heavy toll. "Had to study last week," answered one member when we questioned him on his absence. I'll bet it wasn't his fault. If they all study as much as they say, Oakville High School won't need any, red ink this term. Oh yeh! Teen Town Council held a meeting Tuesday evening, dig- ging into the Christmas Formal plans with gay abandon. We'll not let out any military secrets, but if you miss this dance you'll be sorry. Surprise after surprise will greet you on that gala night, with the music of Johnny Brenan set- ting a placid background. Need We say more? Making the rounds Friday night we were glad to see some 6f the regulars returned after a short absence. Ann Osborne and Wilf Herbert were among the strangers, while Al Lasalles, Jean Meadows and Trudy Cornell join- ed the crowd, giving Teen Town that "Old Home" touch. A new addition we could hard- ly help but see were the two blaz- ing lights in the rear corners. The purpose of these lights we can fully appreciate, but do they have to be white lights? Even when shaded, "they cast beams of light all around the hall and generally drew well versed comrilaints. Could we suggest red or blue lights with shades? Turning our interest to this coming Friday, Teen Town con- tinues as usual with the booming "Watters Wax Works" supplying the music. Pete is finding the life of a "Disc Jockey" is none too soft. "I'm having trouble keeping up with the requests," says Pete. "If you have a request drop it in at the Record Bar, and then youll be sure of hearing it," he added.
