Roberts, will immediat- ely establish an expanded panel of blood donors. "In addition to the present don- ors, who give blood for the hos: pital blood service, we will en- large our files against this poss- ible need," Mrs. Roberts told the Journal yesterday. "Anyone wish- ing to enroll immediately can do 50 by telephoning 757-j, or at any local drugstore." Last Wednesday Oakville re- ceived an appeal from Hamilton for donors with special negative Rh factor blood to meet an em- ergency on Thursday.

SHELTER KEEPER ALAN _LEMAY and Herb Merry, acting president of the Oakville and District Humane Society, smile with satisfaction as they remove a canine patient from the society's new- ly acquired animal ambulance. The gleaming white truck and the new shelter, seen in the background, went into operation this week. FIRST GUEST COMES AND GOES, BUT SHELTER NEEDS TOOLS Although the Oakville' and Di: trict Humane society's new shel- ter is now in operation--had its first canine overnight visitor last weekend, in fact--there are still several ~utility articles shelter Keeper Alan Lemay could put to excellent use. Ticked off yester- day- by acting president Herbert Merry. "the list reads something. like this: two inside doors, of- fice! chairs, a broom, a wheel bar- row, a toilet bowl, a shovel, a rake, a hoe, pails, coal shuttles, newspapers for the kennels, and odds and ends of lumber. "Were particularly glad to have the shelter operating, and with the acquisition of these items well be well set. That familiar phone number, 515, is back in business once more," said Mr. Merry. First shelter guest was a big, friendly "Heintz" purp. "He was brought in Sunday, and we had him placed in his new home by Monday night," the society offic- ial stated.

OAKS MAY RETURN TO SENIOR BALL, 0.B.A. DIRECTORS HEAR Pop Hits Top . . . Concluding a hilarious evening with food prepared by themselves, which was the best ever served. at a meeting, the domesticated and talented fathers of the Linbrook Home and School Association conducted fathers' night at the regular meeting Tuesday. Presentation of "The Light- house-keeper's - Daughter," nar ration by Bill McKinney, revealed a talented pantomine cast, consis- ting of: John Taylor, daughter; Bob Murison, lighthouse-keeper; Fred Taylor, villain; Bob San- dell, lighthouse-keeper's wife; Bill Tyre, doctor; with Ken Cham- bers as prop man. Mr. B. K. Ziemann, master at the school, gave an entertaining address on the impressions and feelings of a young teacher. The Funmnybone Four, Dave Thompson, Pete Campbell, Pete Gowdy and Bryan Howden, a per- cussion' combo, provided a musi cal interlude. On the count of parents present of the various rooms of the schools, Oscar, the prize goldfish, was awarded to Miss Lush's room for the next month. + + » And Bottom! Tom Makin, whose young son Ricky is holidaying in Holly- wood, Florida, with his mother, is pondering reports that Ricky misses him with extremely mix- ed feelings. It seems that a vis: it to a marine zoo failed to im- press Rick particularly until he got to the tank in which the porpoises were being fed. He stood transfixed for a long mom: ment, his excited eyes positively popping. Then, as each hungry porpoise shot out of the wafer to snatch a fish dinner, Ricky finally ~ found words. "Daddy! Daddy!" howled the happily pointing) Ricky, to the delight of a huge crowd of zoo visitors and, the complete confusion of his startled mother. Oakville's baseballing Oaks may meet outstanding senior teams of the province in a series of "every Friday night at Wallace park" ex hibition games next summer, then continue on into the intermediate A playdowns in the early autumn, it plans outlined at a directors' meeting of the Oakville Baseball assn. Monday night are carried out. This scheme would probably see George Gray's Orphans of last summer becoming the town's Halton county league entry. See No Alternative The plan was offered by direc- tor Don Davis and Oaks' manager Al Yarnell as being the only ap- parent alternative to senior lea- gue competition. "There is no senior group in this area to enter, as the West Toronto league did not accept our application," Mr. Davis explained. "The boys want to play senior ball, and two teams in the Halton loop would scarcely appeal to town fans or prove prac- tical from an operation viewpoint." Plan Presentations Further investigation of the pos- sibilities will be carried out, the assn. decided, Meanwhile, a din- ner party for the Oaks, at which last season's most valuable player! will be selected, will be arrang- ed, to take place within the next three weeks. Secretary Bill Cot- ton was instructed to arrange a presentation night at Victoria hall for early March, when tro- phies and crests will be present ed to the assn's three victorious teams of last summer. Baseball movies and a brief talk by an out standing Toronto sports person: ality will round out the program. Select Slate Directors R. 0. Bull, Larry Wil- son and Cameron Hillmer, and treasurer | Norman Ritchie were named a nominating committee to bring in a slate for the next meeting. President Bull was auth- orized to publish the 1950 finan- cial statement, along with a let- ter dealing with assn. activities, in the local press next week. Edging into a 5-4 second period lead after an even opening frame, Oakville Lakeshores hung on grimly through the game's closing minutes to claim a 6-5 victory over Milton Co-Ops at the new ar- ena Monday night. Should the Peermen be successful in taking the measure of Dundas here to- night, an intermediate "A" group playoff berth is therefore assur- ed. Sparks Charges Obviously intent on demonstra- ting that he can still put his classy stickhandling and all round puck. savvy to good use, Lakie coach Bert Peer came up with a stellar effort as he sparked his squad to their well earned win. Peer pop- ped in one marker and made the plays for two more as Lakeshores spread their scoring efforts through the lineup. Ken Brown, George Watson and Jack Davi- son finished off forward line sor- tees, while defencemen Phil Al- cumbreck and Bill Currie account- ed for the other goals. Gary Shines Defensively, Lakles showed marked improvement against the hustling Milton crew, while Gary his better efforts. Legear's show- ing in recent games marks him as the outstanding netminder in the loop, and he'll be out to carry on tonight in an effort to cement that playoff spot. As matters stand at the mom- ent, Dundas must win all their remaining games to catch Lakies and ease into a fourth place tie. Georgetown Red Raiders, Milton and Burlington are the teams al- ready certain of playoff brackets. THREE NEW OPTIMISTS INDUCTED BY VISITOR District membership chairman Al Grant, London, was the guest speaker at the regular dinner meeting of the Optimist Club, held in Riverside Lodge Monday night. Optimist Grant briefly out- lined club objectives, following which he inducted new members Jack Hook, Max Sinclair and Bill Hill. The club learned with regret that charter member Don Stokoe will leave shortly for Lethbridge, Alta, where he has accepted a position. Plans for the Optimist fall fair came in for preliminary discussion. Optimist Jim McKin- ley presented the thumbnail sketch of the evening. PAY INCREASE All members of Oakville-Tra- falgar High School teaching staff are being granted a saliry in- crease of $300 a year, retroactive to January 1.

The new schedule also provides for an increase of 3300 per year in the maximum salary, and an increase in the annual in- crement from $150 to $200 a year, starting Sept. 1, 1951. LAKESHORES SHADE MILTON, CAN ASSURE PLAYOFF BERTH BY DOWNING DUNDAS TONIGHT RED CROSS DRIVE TAKES SHAPE HERE Cut 'to a proven pattern, Oak- ville and District Red Cross drive will be a "Blitz" again this year. Al Masson, general campaign chairman, said all committees were organized, and Monday night March 5th, at 7.30 the church bells will announce the start of the one night canvass. "Residents will be asked to leave their verandah lights on until a canyasser has called. We hope that with two successful blitzes behind us we'll be through even earlier this year than we were last time," he said. With each canvasser asked to only make a few calls during the hours of the blitz, it has been found that no homes are missed and that an effective and success- ful drive is possible. The same method was adopted by St. Jude's and St. John's churches in their recent drives, and the Manitoba. Flood Relief general canvass was. also blitzed. Chairmen of the var ious committees are as follow! chants, Bill Milligan; Doug Wilkes Jr.; Tom Chisholm; Don Macrae. Industry, Special Names, General Canvass, "A feature of this year's can- vass Is the offer of the army to take over one whole section of the town," Mr. Mason said. "In Korea, the Red Cross is helping the army. In Oakville it's vice versa with this co-operation from Central Command. BLAME ICE FOR MISHAPS A slippery pavement at the ColbornerReynolds intersection caused two motor collisions with- in 'one hour 'on Saturday night. At 10.55 a car driven by Norman Dredge, R.R.1, Acton skidded in making the turn north onto Reyn- olds Street, and collided with Dr. E. P.

Late Saturday afternoon a Tr driven by W. H. Mason, Oakville, struck the car of W. H. Ashcroft, Alderwood, doing damage of $50, Mr, Mason's view of the road was sald to have been obscured by a parked car. With the acquisition of a new film projector, Oakville Public Library has entered a new field of community service which promises to becomé more 'and more important. Since November, when this service started, a large number of local organizations have availed themselves of it. Just this week the library ac- quired two children's films, the tirst two films of what Librarian Mrs. Elsepth Young hopes may become, in time, a large collect ion. The library has about thirty films, on various subjects, on loan from the National Film Board. Any of these films may be bor- rowed by local organizations or Individuals for a rental of 25 cents. But films may also be booked from the large collection of the National Film Board or Ontario Agricultural College at Guelph, by making application to the librarian several days in ad- vance of the date when needed. The range covered by these fihng Is tremendous.

Individual borrowers may have the use of the film projector at $3 a time. There are a large num- ber of qualified operators in town, and arrangements for the ger- vices of any of these may be made through the Iibrarlan. Schools, church groups, service cluby and Industrial firms are among those taking advantage of the new film service. And a number of individ- ual borrowers have hooked the children's films for children's parties. "Don Quixote," In techni color, and "Three little Bruins make mischief" are the titles of the first two films in the Library's own collection. Vice-chairman, Don MacRae; mer-+
