Cumberland, camp- aign manager of the Oakville- Trafalgar hospital drive for funds, this week announced that all local organizations have com- pleted arrangements for a rep- vesentative canvass on behalf of the fund. "Every town group has been very co-operative, and as the final drive commences, I am very confident as to the success of 'the campaign", Mr. Cumber- lund stated. "We have a lot of hard work ahead of us yet, but I would like to say right now, tnat the support forthcoming to date has been more than heartening". Hunt Victim Saturday When both he and a companion, turned simultaneously to fire up- on flushing a pheasant, Lloyd Green suffered painful injuries in a hunting mishap last Saturay, when some thirty pellets from the accidentally discharged gun of Hubert South entered his head, arm and shoulder. Following tieatment at Oakville-Trafalgar Temporary hospital, Green was taken to Hamilton General Hos- pital, where the pellets were re- moved. Dr. W. M. Wilkinson re- ported his condition as "good". The accident occurred near Lakeshore Rd. east of Eighth Line as the hunting party, comprising Green, South, William Galbraith, Sr, and William Galbraith Jr, made their way through a corn field, As the bird was flushed, both South and the victim swung: around to fire. South slipped on a cornstalk, his gun discharging as he fell. Game Warden Dudley Hitchcox reported the incident was the only mishap during the two-day pheas- ant shoot. While several hunters bagged their quota of three cock- birds Saturday, low lying fog and intermittent rain restricted vis- ibility and dampened clothing and enthusiasm Friday. The warden also reported seven red fox and one black were sniped on the way by vigilant huntsmen, News of the latter achievements found favour with township farmers, many of whom have suffered poultry loss- es.

District Governor Visits Local Lions "The Christian home, embark- ation point on the voyage through life, still provides the most important factor in shap- ing the course of the youth of today," P. V. Smith, Grimsby, governor of District A-2, last Friday night told members of Oakville Lions club. Mr. Smith, introduced by deputy governor Bert Lewis, spoke in conjunction with Education week. Likening youth to "a ship which can founder in ill winds or main- tain a well charted course under proper guidance", the speaker maintained too much stress can- not be placed upon the value of education. "A happy home life sends the lad onto the proper course and, with the church, builds faith in the navigator. But both must combine to make him realize that sound education pro- vides the steady hand at the wheel", he. stated. . = Les Siegrist, membership chairman, officiated at the init- iation of seven new members. The district governor, who was paying his official annual visit, presented buttons to Jim Clark, Fred Brown, Fred Taylor, Arch Grant, Gordon Brown, Alan Richards and Jim Blakelock.
