NOT READY YET Trafalgar"s much mooted zoning bylaw, still in the re-draughting process, was mot discussed at Tuesdays council meeting. Clerk Sheldon Featherstone stated on Wednesday he expected the new. legislation would be ready for consideration at the Sept. 17 meeting. PROTESTING RESIDENTS TOLD LANDFILL DISPOSAL OFFERS BEST TRAFALGAR SOLUTION Strongly, opposing sometimes heatedly, the location of Trafal- gar township's mew landfill garbage disposal operation "al- most in our backyard," some 61 residents of the Ninth Line--Up- per Middle Rd. sector Tuesday petitioned council to select an- other site. The petition repre- sented a full 100 percent of the residents in the area immediately' effected, a delegation of 14 fa- thers, mothers and children in- formed council. "We're absolutely unanimous," spokesman J. B. Ross declared. "If council is actually fully aware as to just where this property is, we completely fail to understand what is being done to us. Right across the road from the dis- posal site, a survey has been sold to, and built on by, young mar- ried couples who would have flies, mosquitos and odors blown right in their faces by every west wind. We've seen the dump on the town line, and oppose having it our neighbourhood." Councillor R. G. A.

AN EDITORIAL The Ever Amusing Mr. Turnbull Mr. Turnbull has done it. There is now a poster in the Oakville post office advertising for postal clerks 2,028-2,904 per annum. This is a considerable in- crease over the former rate of at least one local em- ployee of $1,812..In fact, to do the arithmetic for you, it's $216 more per annum. This starting rate should be of interest to more individuals, and there should he an improvement in the efficiency of the post office So for immediate attention who we are beginning to dislike, as we find more and more that the poor postal service around here must be laid at his door--is the fact that, with the poster advertising higher rates for new employees flaunting itself from the notice board, there are employees in the Oakville office who have to face it every day---- with a year or more service behind them--who are still getting the old starting rate of $1,812. If that isn't the perfect example of government departmental stupidity, then we don't know a fathead when we see C What these employees evidently will have to do is resign one day, be re-hired the next at the starting rate, and so up their earnings $216 per annum. Mr. Turnbull, you need to make another speech. When you do, please let us know about it and we'll try to attend. It should be most teresting, if not almost as amusing 2s "Schnozzle" Durante has been at the C.N.E. grandstand. of Mr. Turnbull--
