'Oakville ght back hard and with only ne minute and 20 seconds of the eriod remaining, tied it up, Yar- Sold tallied first on a pass from mas and Spetk combined with mold for the second, The second period developed 0 la close-checking duel, the mly goal coming at the 15.30 "mark, Stott getting his third oal of the game on a pass from elanson, akville became the aggressor the third period and kept Mil- caged up for most of the time, At the 7-minute mark Davison tled the score at three all, un- assisted. From the face-off which followed, Speck took a pass from "Cameron and beat Evans to give Oakville the lead for the first time. The torrid pace kept up and Evans, after stopping rubber from all angles, was beaten by Cameron on a pass from Yarnold and Speck, and a minute later Speck took a pass from Camer- on to put the Vets three up. In the dying minutes of the game Milton secured their fourth coun- ter by Linton from Fox and Scar- Tow. The game was cleanly contest- ed, only six penalties being hand- Jed out, three to each team. In the return game played here on Monday evening, the Mil- ton team took the decision by a score of 8.5. "At the end of the first period the score was tied at one all, but Games Even ] Legion and Milton Split A Short Stop Dave approached with a grin, and asked, "If it's 90 feet from first to second base and'90 feet from second to third base, why is it that it takes a runner longer to go from second to third than from first to second?" Being unable' to answer, Dave leaned and "There's a short second and third." over whispered, stop between As he walked away, Dave Cur- rie said--"And you can quote me, too.

Only three members" were absent, and the decision was reached that instead of having flag officers, all members would be commodores--thus living up to the aim of the squadron which is that anyone interested in sailing can be a member on an equdl tack. And, of course, a commo- dore. The squadron sail Sabot prams, These small-sized yachts--8 feet long by three foot 6 of beam -- cost approximately $100. Races are held every week on the lake, and to those who have precon- ceived ideas about how well they can handle a ship, these dinky- sized jobs hold many a surprise. Shifting your, weight an inch or so in an 8-metre won't make much difference but try it in a pram. They'll stop going so fast youll watch the whole fleet show you their counters.

Dr. Syers decided the wound didn't require stitches but clamp- ed it together and taped it up. On leaving, Dr. Syers was ask- ed how much the damages would be. 'The Doc. retortedDon't score too many goals against Milton," Reporting the incident back to the club room, the players were unanimous in acclaiming Dr. Syers "a genuine sport." Milton went 'ahead in the second, outscoring the Legionnaires 4 to 2 to give them a 5-3 lead, The players began to rough it up in the final frame and the referee let plenty of high-sticking, charg- ing and slashing go without pen- alizing either team. Milton again out-tallied the Oakville team and the final score was 8-5 at the close of the game. The goal-getters for the Vets were Speck 3, Davison and Cam- eron, one each. The third game will be played in Milton tonight (Thursday). for the Easter Parade. 1 + Hl FORSYTHST. . - is oly THREE WEEKS off In order to assure you prompt service for your clean- ing--let us pick up your garments NOW!

When, it's hard to say, but there'll come that day when we'll be through 'working and around (H in the new lob- by and will then be able to sit down, relax and criticize our work tend- erly. We really don't mind criti- cism from those standing on the sidelines as long as it is constructive and they're willing to Wack it up with a little labor. Oheryise we'd just as soon do all the comment- ing ourselves. Wednesday night vibrated un- der the heterogeneous conglomer- ation of constructive noises. Yes, Club "20" rough riders were on the trail of the tools again. We have been receiving some very fine co-operation and assistance from the business men with whom we've had dealings, but are with- holding names until the work is done and they are given the first chance to decide whether or not the materials they provided were used to the best advantage, Our plans are slowly emerging from the sawdust haze and be- fore long we may even be able to give you a clear description of just what will be there. With such active minds and so much ingenuity it's impossible to say what's coming next. New ideas keep popping up and that's all that's needed to set them off again. Working through the week is eempensated by dancing at the club Saturday night. - Stormy weather failed to daunt® regular attenders. A carry-off from the postman's policy of travelling through all kinds of weather must have been adopted by the dancers, because the "male" did come through and the girls as well, Don Alexander and his Royal Oaks were confronted by a few difficulties but managed to hold their own. Alec MacFarland, the trombonist, was on the limp, hav- ing met a sheet of ice at right "ankle." The orchestra's sax section have missed their lead man, 'Zeke! Hunter, and that, combined with a case of missing music, doesn't add up to perfec- tion; but we have no doubt that they will return to their former faultless selves, given a little time for readjustment. Sunday was no day of rest either, Except for time out for church and Sunday school, the work was carried right through until 1 o'clock and it was a mighty but weary band that cleared up the rubbish, turned off the lights and locked the door behind them on another week. Trafalgar Council (Continued from Page 1) the second motion should not be passed unless there was a peti- tion from residents in the area affected requesting such a re- striction. Councillor Cumberland explain- ed that there.was provision in the act for council to institute such a resriction on their own. "If I can get a seconder for the mo- tion," he said, "and council passes it, then the board will hold a hearing--with all affected prop- erty owners advised--and any ob- jections will be heard at that time." He pointed out that the area he had selected was that which certain residents had re- quested be restricted, He stress. ed the difficulty residents found in getting a petition signed in reply to Councillor Marshall's ' | statement that if council had a petition before them they would know it was wanted. It was the feeling of Councillors Marshall and Wickson that the area was too large and council might work hardship on certain property holders. "I have no axe to grind," Mr. Cumberland pointed out, stating he did not live in the area affect- ed. "I only feel it is the wish of goodly number of people in that area that it should be re- stricted in 'a manner similar to Linbrook area. It is within our power to start this restriction. A progressive area without plan- ning is running into trouble. I should like to see both motions seconded and put through." "Personally I am in' favor of this move," said Reeve W. H. Biggar. "But if council wish to hold the restriction over for fur- ther consideration, it is all right with me." After further discus- sion and because of the absence, through illness, of Deputy-Reeve W. S. Hall, the motion was held over. Mr. Ernie Belyea of the Bronte Commission appeared before council to discuss the problems of cheap building construction and location of houses on property in the village. He was asked to bring in a recommendation and told this would be a part of the planning board's activity, Council passed the 1948 expen- diture budget for the fire bri- gade. This covered grants of $100 to both chiefs, $25 for depu- ty-chiefs, $25 for secretaries and $50 for a caretaker for No. 2 brigade. The other caretakers fee had already been covered. Fees to volunteer firemen were set as follows: $1 per hour when fighting fires, $1 per practice and 50c per meeting. Mr, R. C. Lovejoy submitted a revised plan for the "Blue An- chor Subdivision," being part of Lot 25, Con. IV, S.D.S,, located on the lakeshore west of Oakville. Council app it, THE OLD HOME TOWN somites By STANLEY speaker of the evening, the Hon. He delivered a spirited address, which was also broadcast, on the dangers of communism. Pointing out the party was well organized in Can- ada, he stressed how only a few years ago Czechoslovakia had a government similar to Canada's and that they had scoffed at the possibility of communism ever taking over. Yet that very week George Drew, their democratic system had been replaced by a government solely controlled from Russia, he stated. He called on every individual and political party to united to defeat the Red menace. He criticized certain newspapers for their ef- forts in supporting communist members. Mr, Drew was thank- ed by Leopold Macaulay, K.C. A stage show and dancing closed the meeting, © Dunn St. N.

A letter was receiv- ed from Dr. Mather, recommend- ing the issuing of licenses to all tourist camps as they are all qualified under the regulations. A by-law for the restriction and regulation of building of tourist camps was passed. This exclud- ed trailer camps being established anywhere in the township, Councillor Cumberland was ap- pointed as representative to the meeting March 4 to discuss a memorial for Oakville-Trafalgar high school, Reeve Biggar and Deputy-Reeve W.
