"I wish to load forward to assure communi centr don't particularly more work on that staff, but I hope there are more awards i future for similar fine support of community projects. The Journal makes a great contribution to town and district life and pro- gress." "The Journal took the lead in supporting our drive for funds and equipment, and our arduous task in building the new shelter would have been many times more difficult had it not been for that timely publicity," said Herbert C. Merry, who spearheaded the Oakville and District Humane So- ciety campaign to erect the Mar- tin Memorial = shelter on Maple Ave. "I heartily congratulate the Journal on this award, as I have always felt its contribution to town and district progress was a noteworthy one. The wh is a well deserved one." "I certainly congratulate you on receiving this honor," declared Rev, Harry Pawson, minister of St. 'Johw's United Church, who took an active part in the cam- paign to keep liquor out of Oak- ville hotels. "After all, the news- paper that gives public service is certainly fulfilling its main vocation." Shop foreman Erland Greene succinctly summed up the re- action of the Journal staff. "It's very encouraging to find that you are accomplishing something," he declared. "But we won't have time for any celebrating until we get the paper put to bed for another week."
