For [mo time this fastgrowing or- nization has been badly ham- d by lack of adequate quar- s in which to carry on its var- Ii activities. The new centre will Bliora it the space it needs so Badly fo take care of its rapidly owing membership. it was in 1945, only five years that about a dozen interest- people got together and or- @inized Oakville Arts and Crafts. Aion them was Mrs. L. H. Bed- lib ton, now convener of the {fits section. The membership [few with the town, and now fmbers about 250. It is still wing. 'veryday 1 get inquiries about i@lirerent classes," Mrs. Bedling- fn told the Journal. "Some of Wfilese classes have had to, be @lbscd to new members because Me haven't the space to accom- Mbaate them. We are thankful for present quarters "the barn," Front Street, but it isn't ade- fate. It is so crammed that we fe no place to carry on dram- cs or our larger activities. We laf looking forward to the new [dm munity centre to provide us bjt the space we need. ome idea of the great range of flivity covered by Oakville Arts Crafts may be gathered from fact that it is divided into five tions, choral music, dramatics, ic appreciation, art and crafts. [luded under the latter head- are leatherwork, basketry, imaking, weaving, smocking dressmaking. There was a bliss in folk dancing, but this had fof be temporarily abandoned for igo, lack of space. It is planned to form classes in ceramics and wood-carving when proper quar- ters are avallable. A member of Arts and Crafts may take as many courses as he pleases, all for the fee of two dollars a year. For this trifling sum he also gets refreshments when he attends class. Mrs. Bed- lington points out that the organ- ization is doing valuable work in training leaders for group ac- tivities in local churches and oth- er bodies. A number are already acting in this capacity. But if Oakville Arts and Crafts is to continue to grow with the community and to meet the in- creasing demand for its services, it must have better and larger quarters in which to function. Completion of the new Community Centre will make this new accom- available, and enable modation ish as a cultural force in Oakville. DRIVER BLAMELESS A coroner's jury last Wednesday night decided that 9-year-old James Alger, Jr. died as a result of being hit by an auto last Sept. 29. The lad was struck while rid- ing his bike on Lakeshore high- way just east of town. The verdict attached no blame to Fred Ains- worth, driver of the car. The jury recommended that in view of the number youngsters who ride bikes on the highway, signs should be posted warning motorists of the danger. of COMMUNITY HARDWARE your OAKVILLE COLOR CENTRE | 2 © for | RULCRAFT Cote Scheme PAINTS thoice of paint colors.

EAST Phone 490 -- Holidays 296-W OPEN EVENINGS Municipal Marathons The fact that council sessions Acton have heen. lasting until well after midnight began to bo- ther Mayor Amos Mason recent- ly. Eleven o'clock should be the deadline for wrestling with mun- icipal business detail, he feels. ut, try as council might, the meetings still wandered on into the small hours. So Mayor Mason finally offered a turkey dinner for everyone around the council table for one--just one--I11 o'clock meeting. But the induce- ment failed, and Amos eventually tired of waiting for the turkey dinner. Last week he gave it any- way, entertaining the reeve, coun- cillors, officials and press at a festive spread at Guelph's Royal Hotel. Unfortunately, however, the council lingered over dressing and drumsticks so long that it was found necessary to schedule a special meeting next day to catch up with town business.

Although the brigade was on the scene within eight minutes, no one was able to go near the barn to liberate stock, with the result that Mr. Clo- beck lost 37 head of prize Jer- seys, some hogs, crop of baled hay.
