More than 2,000 cast ballots in the voting on the three | questions, while Councillor La- chlan McArthur and Fred Turn- er, who led the poll for council seats, both passed by a substan- tial margin retired Councillor Jack Isaard's 1,102 poll topping total of last year. Thumbs Sharply Down Most emphatic blast of voting disapproval was that vented on the cocktail bar question, which was accorded a thumbs-down neg- ative X by 1,468 electors, who re- § presented 70 percent of the total vote. Dining lounges were also rejected almost two to one, while approximately 62 percent of vot- ers opposed the Sunday sport question. Only in Ward 2 did the latter question carry, 270 votes "yes" as compared with 225 "no" ballots. Y HAYES Lacky Leads Councillor McArthur, in- polling 378 votes more than hil even 1,000 total of last year, shaded Councillor Turner by a lim mar- gin of 41 ballots. Ross Gibson signalized his return to the mun- icipal field by finishing third in the race with 1,041, while Ralph f Wakely topped newcomers to the lists with 935. George Davis clalm- ed the fifth seat with 854, some £32 more than Del Carrothers, who won the remaining seat.

Leslie Frost, opened the new Linbrook school addition Tuesday evening in the presence of a crowd of sev- eral hundred people that includ- ed ratepayers, pupils, teachers, school board and township offic: als, "It is a pleasure to come here and bring congratulations from the people of Ontario on the suc- cess of this school, this worthy building that has been erected here," sald Mr. Frost, offering his congratulations to the school board. Quoting impressive figur- es, he proceeded to review the tremendous progress made by the province in developing, school facilities during the past few yea rs. "When I tell you we haye been making more advances in educa- ation in the last half-dozen years than has taken place in several times that period in this pro- vince, it isn't overstating the case," declared the premier. Six years ago the provincial budget for education was 13 million dol- lars. In the last budget no less than 54 millions was set aside for educational purposes, Tepre- senting 25 cents of every dollar of taxes. Provincial grants had reached the high figure of 44 mil- lions. "In Ontario we're doing a great job in education," continued Mr. Frost, "but there is a great job still to do." The premier went on to speak of the origins of Trafalgar 'Town- ship, of its settlement in the early years of the last century by Loy- alist families from the United States. "These people brought with them their religious princi- ples and their churches," he said. "That great religious background is still the foundation of old Ont- ario. It was the germ of respon- sible government, and out of it has come the British Common- wealth of Nations. It brought about the idea of subsidized edu- cation. "We are spending, in this cor- ner of Ontario, on Linbrook school, $80,000 to provide a suit able building for education," pro- ceeded Mr. Frost. He spoke of the great enthusiasm for education and the desire for more and bet- STOLEN Attention all builders, Oakville area.

"In the last half-dozen years in Ontario 'we have built 922 beautiful new schools, all useful" he pointed out. "We have provided 110,700 new places for pupils in our schools, at a cost of $82,000,000. Ladies and gentlemen, that's a great record. In 1950 we built 103 Businessmen masquerading as white-bearded Santa Clauses, gaily trimmed and lighted Christmas trees, elaborately wrapped gifts, abundance of Christmas fare and dainties--all these are very much in evidence as Oakville firms and organizations celebrate another Christmas. Some of the parties are over, some are yet to-come. Monday was the night of Oak- ville Rotary Club's big party at Victoria Hall, when Rotarians, their wives and children enjoyed a visit from Santa and an evening of festive entertainment. Tonight the Oakville Lions will celebrate in like manner. Army Party On Saturday afternoon at the Armories, personnel of Ortona Barracks, Central Command, Mil itary Headquarters, their "wives and families had a Christmas party, complete with Santa Claus and tree. Tomorrow evening the officers are playing hosts to the 'other ranks. Victoria Hall was the scene of a dinner for doctors, nur- ses and dietitians of Oakville Trafalgar Memorial - Hospital, when Alex Tilley of the board of governors, played Santa Claus. There was a party for other mem- bers of the staff at the hospital on Wednesday evening, and this evening the nurses are singing Christmas carols to the patients. The hospital has been charming- ly decorated for Christmas by membets: of the Women's Auxil- iary. Legion Christmas Tree The big Christmas party of the Oakville Legion, = eagerly looked forward to by innumerable young- sters, was held Tuesday evening, when Santa Claus played by the genial and everfaithful Doc Deans, passed out gifts to a delighted crowd of children of Legion mem- bers. Tomorrow is the day for school parties. At Central school the pupils will sing carols and exchange gifts, each class-room a cost of nearly $27,000,000. Premier Frost then proceeded to endear himself to the younger portion of his audience by ask- ing the school board to give the pupils a holiday on Friday. "I would like them to think of this as an occasion on which the peo- ple remembered the great tradi- tions of their forefathers," he said. "and that this school was given them to provide them with an opportunity to face life in a difficult world, to give them greater opportunity to serve Can- ada, this greatest country in the world, and to feel that the great- est challenge before them is to give men and women freedom to schools to take care of 22,000 at (Continued on Page 7) SANTA BUSY AS TOWN GROUPS ENJOY YULETIDE FESTIVITIES having its own program of enter- tainment.
