Yours vry truly, Greta M. Harris, Corres. Sec'y. WOULD KEEP HEAD STREET OPEN The Editor, The Journal Sir: = 1 wish to take this opportunity of expressing the strongest dis: approval of the bylaw providing for the closing of part of Head Street, which has received two readings by the town council. This by-law, if it should become ef fective, would deny access to the public to a portion of the river bank much frequented by boat: owners and others during the summer months. It would, in fact, block up one of the few remain- ing outlets to the river not pri- vately owned. In my opinion, it is high time that council devoted some care- ful consideration to this matter of access to the Sixteen Mile Creek, and also the lake. The manner in which the town has permitted water-front properties to fall into private hands is nothing less than shameful, The lake and the river are Oakville's two great natural assets, To a number of citizens they are the town's chief attrac- tions. Due to the short-sighted ness or indifference of councils in the past, nearly all the river banks and a large stretch of the lake-front, are now privately own- ed, and outlets to the water are few and far between. It is, perhaps, too late. now to remedy this unfortunate situa tion. But it is mot too late for council to take steps to preserve, as public property, such few wat- Tont Jots as remain in the © lB LE THE EDITOR or lot at Head Street, and refuse to sell any more river-front pro- perty. Any money the sale of such lots might realize would be trif- Jing in comparison with the de- privation it would bring to the many citizens who enjoy and other water activities. Let the citizens of Oakville, and the town council, awaken to an appreciation of their town's mag: nificent natural heritage, the riv- er and the lake. They are assets Which many a community is not fortunate enough to DOSsess.

Reason for his manifesta- tions of joy was the manner in which local citizens responded to his recent appeal not to telephone the fire station asking the loca- tion of a fire. About 7 o'clock Thursday mor ning the siren sent up its shrill wail. Instead of the usual aval anche of calls to the firehall there were none--or practically none. "We only had. one call about the fire," the delighted chief told the Journal, "and that was about half an hour after it happened, so it really didn't mat- ter much. We used to get about twenty-five or thirty at every fire, which swamped us. I want to thank the public for this -co-oper- ation." | CLEARANCE bo DISCONTINUED LINES MANY ITEMS BELOW COST i FOR BABY VESTS SHOES i WOOL HATS | DOLLS !
