(ahem.) It therefore follows that there be a slight slump in activi ties, and sure enough there was only one assembly and one dance. Nothing else. M0TELMEN MAKE MUSIC AS MAYOR OPENS NEW HOSTELRY Motels and music don't often go hand in hand. In fact, proprie tors of these hostelries have been known to adopt an exceedingly dim view of guests with musical tendencies. Blit at the Queen Elizabeth motel, such is far from the case, scores of guests who attended last Saturday afternoon's grand opening quickly discovered. As a matter of fact, the proprietors themselves provided the music.-- and it made for mighty enjoyable listening! The brief concert began soon after Mayor Jim Black had offi cially opened the new establish ment, and Jim Walker had intro duced the Toronto trio behind the venture. One of the partners, it turned out, is John Moskalyk, a talented violinist who is also a member of the staff of the Royal Conservatory of Music. And well known CBC and NBC songstress Sophia Romanko, it transpired, is the wife of Michael Mutzak, another partner. The third part ner, Jacob Boyko, acted as emcee for the program, which brought salvos of applause for Mr. Mos kalyk and Miss Romanko, who has appeared with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. Others who spoke, following the opening ceremony, were Stanley Hall, Halton's provincial regyesentative, councillor Mrs. Miller, of Trafalgar, and Oakville reeve Lachlan McArthur. Mr. Boyko, who announced that he and his partners have already taken up residence in the district, told his guests "we hope to take an active part in community affairs." " Our interest in Oakville isn't merely a business one." he de clared. "If we can help out in anything, we would like to be asked to do so." " A NEW HOME IS THE * FOUNDATION OF AN ESTATE" HAROLD A.

"None of these youngsters has ever played a game of la crosse before," said Larry Wilson, supervisor of the newly-formed Minor League. "The minor teams will practice at 6:30 on Monday evenings and the juniors at eight. I think they will learn a great deal about style if they stay after their own games and watch the junior's play." The four teams formed were the Tigers, Mounties, Terriers and Green Gaels. Team competi tion will begin next week when the Recreation Committee sup plies matched sets of sweaters used during the winter for hockey.
