While bingo and other carnival games attracted many, all atten- tion was focussed during the early part of Friday evening on C. T. Flippance and the boys and girls of Little Olympia. After the girls, smart in black shorts and white blouses, had gone through a drill of sommersaults and trick jumps, the boys took over and drew gasps of admiration for their feats of skill. When the brightly clad lit- tle drum majorette led the boys and girls off, they were fol- lowed by loud applause. Wearing gay tartans, the new- ly formed Legion Pipe band en- tertained the crowd as also did the Oakville Citizens' band. The Pipe band's performance drew. enthusiastic applause from the crowd, and this musical group is an addition to the town.

Mayor Distributes Buck Picnic Prizes Amid squeals of delight, howls of ecstasy and a general confu- sion of joyous noises that eman- ate from happy children, the 4th annual Westside Community pic- nic, sponsored by Ollie Buck, got under way on Saturday, July 24. A cavalcade of buses, trucks and cars, under the supervision of Cor- poral Allie Jackson, left West wood school for Miles park, where the picnic was held. At the park the children had a wonderful time and a big pro- gram of races was run off under the 'supervision of Jim Craig, Stewart Wark, Curly Brown, Alex Beggs, Johnny Shields, Stanley Wright, and members of the army personnel of the Ortona Barracks. Ice cream, chocolate milk, cakes, cookies and suckers were provid- ed for the children and tea for the adults. The special prizes were award- ed to the oldest lady present, Mrs. French, who is 87; Mr. Bridge- man, oldest man present; young- est baby, Donnie Ford, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Ford, age three weeks; popularity contest, the most popular fellow with th ladies, Peter Street; and the prizes were presented by Mayor C.

The mo- tion to launch the spraying attack lon the pests was introduced at a recent council meeting by Coun- cillor Robert Hunter, whose home is located so close to the swamp- land that he maintained there were 'more mosquitoes in m. back garden, per square foot, than any other place in the province." According to Edward Fitzsim- mons, town foreman, who super- vised spraying of swamps, pud- dles and Sixteen Mile creek ad- jacent to the town dump, many. Moody. Cyclist, Rider Hurt When the motorcycle he was driving was in collision with a car driven by Alfred Souci, of Oakville, Saturday night, Stanley White, 20, Colborne St. W., suf- fered a fractured leg, severe head lacerations and bruises. The ac- cident occurred on Lakeshore Rd. just east of town. - White and Al- len Low, Navy St, who was rid- ing on the buddy seat of the ma- chine, were pinned beneath the motorcycle. Low escaped unin- jured. According to Provincial Officer John Bunt, Souci, travelling east, was making a left-hand turn when the motorcycle crashed into the side of his car. Low told the police when White observed the car turning, he applied his brakes hard. "We skidded about: 90 feet," he said. White was removed to Oakville ple are already ing on the difference since the purge was completed last week. Mrs. H. O. Murray, who resides corner of Sixth Line and Dundas St., stated residents of the build- ing have all commented on the sudden cessation of pest hostili- ties. "We've seen surprisingly few mosquitoes lately," she said. Mrs. S. M. Guill, who resides near the Gloucester St. swamp, has noticed a "decided improvement." Richard George, Watson Ave. lauded the town action. "Those mosquitoes certainly were a men- ace," he stated feelingly. "I, for one, wouldn't mind such taxation increase as would insure regular spraying.' The spray, which kills the "wig- glers" which infest swamp waters, is usually effective for a six- week period.

TOWN AND THE MAYOR REPORTS By Angus McMillan, Chairman Police Committee The change from angle to paral- lel parking on the south side of Colborne Street, and the opera- tion of parking meters, appears at this time to have solved to a great extent some of our traffic problems, Motorists now find it much easier to locate parking space, and traffic, both pedestrian and vehicular, is able to move with a greater degree of safety. The members of Council believe that this condition will continue to prevail, but it can only do 50 with your continued co-operation, In a recent editorial of the Onk- ville-Trafalgar Journal, reference was made to the dangerous con- dition between Dundas and Reyn- olds Street, caused by motorists parking on both sides of the street. This condition is the re- sult of the extension easterly of our business district, and con- tinues almost to the easterly limit of the town. Action will be taken shortly to correct this condition by prohibiting parking on side of the street, but the answer to the problem would appear to be a widening of that street from Dundas street east to the town limits, a step which I have urged one he Oakville-Trafalgar Journal $2.00 Per Year in Advance.

Biggar At our last council meeting we passed a by-law which made our township an urban development area, This means that any resi- dent who intends to sell land of an area of than 10 acres must st submit a sub-division plan to council for approval, While at first glance it may appear that this by-law interferes with the rights of individuals to sell thelr land, such is not the case. It is most necessary that coun- cil be aware of all changes in the nature of the township, and by means of this by-law a strict con- trol of land is made possible, Without it, council had little iden' of what sales were being made and, possibly, unsuitable divisions of property, which would work to the disadvantage of residents, might be made.
