In fact such distinctive features of Canadian banks as branch banking, a time limit on charters, and the gen- eral prohibition against lending money on the security of real estate may be traced to Hamil- ton's charter for a national bank, Mr. Hooey stated.

Il takes place in a ban on bbc Riviera when Brigitte and Boyer, danc- ing a vei-y sultry cha-cha, are accosted by a group o! F'rench gangsters. The gangsters, band- picked for the romp. include Hem-i Cogan, the famous alunt- man of French films; and Geor- ges Guenet, French mddice- weîgbb champion, knewn as "the Rock" te bis admidrers. That Brigitte coois bolh of lb-ese gents is ne surprise, since it's callcd for by thc script. But what did leave cvcryone on Uic set cpen-moulhed witb admnira- tion was La Bardol's technique.

Bach branch is a self- contained unit with a cmlt range of services. Diversification f !Loans From the banklng pint of view the branch banksystem bas other advantages. It en- ables a bank to diversify its loans in different econonuc areas with varying businesses, .geo- graphic and soul conditions, Mr. Hooey explaîned, and added it thus can stand the shock of a local crop failure, sudden dislo- cation of regional industry, or loss of a major market by -off- setting it wîth normal or im- proved conditions elsewhere. Service To The Many In Canada, literally ev'erybody is a bank customer, for Canada's banks have built their growth from service te the rnany and flot the monied. Canada's banks' determination to provide services that many people want, at prices they are prepared to pay, bas paid off, he pointed out. Bill Steven thanked the speaker.

Audito~rium ini Oshawa on Wednesday evening, April 9. 1959. However, having purchas- ed tickets, he feit compelled to go. After ail, even a Scott with two T'a does not tbrow $1.50 (the price of two tickets) away with nothing te show for It. Hience, he wenit.. The Auditorium was comfort- ably -f illed by the time Mr. Francis J. Francis, conductor, strode on to the podium at pre- cisely 8:15, and brought his ba- ton down for the excellent ren- dering of "0 Canada" This tall, English-trained leader then led the full orchestra in a spirited well-balanced interpretation of the "Overture to The Caliph of Baghdad" by Boieldieu. The assisting artists, Miss Mary Lou Baker, soprano, and her accompanist, Mr. Reginald G. Geen, took over next te give sensitive and sympathetic read- ings of three classicai songs: "With Verdure Clad" by Hay- dn, 'SDrngs MY 1\othcr Taught Me", a haunting rnelody by Dvorak, and Alleluj-a by Mo- zart. Miss Baker's light voice, melodious and well controlled, was at its best in the softer paýzsages of these difficuit pie- ces. The string section of the or- chestra followed.to play "Eine Klein Nachtmusik" a serenade by Mozart. This listener feit that, in this, thi orchestra t- tempted music somnewhat be- yond its grasp at this stage of It.s development. Rad the tem- Po been rather slciwer, the mu- Petit ion ers Request Coun cil to Withhold Passing Control Bv-law The Clarke Township Coun'- cil met on' Tucsday, April 7, in a busy session receivin-g dele- gations and conducting regu- lai' business. Qoundil gave tentative ap- proval te the building o! the threeHigh Sohools in Darling- ton, Ctarke and Millbreek. Sub-Divlsion Control Mr. Horace Best, spokesman fer a group o! petitioners who requested that the subdivision control by-law be witbhetd for final reading until a local Plan- ning Board was setup, present- ed te Council a brie! signed by twelve petitioners. The brie! held the following five points: (1) We appreciate the oppor- tunity of learning at length tbrough public advertiscment o! a proposed change in our rights as owners; (2) We are net aware that any one o! bbe farmýérs affcctcd bas asked fer any such action on tbc part o! your Council, but belleve Ibat bbc Council is act- ing solely aI. bb instance o! the police village, w:lich itsetf bas very lijtte land i'emainin-g for subdivision, but bas probtems o! ils own resulting fremn lack of planning in the past; (3) We have ne desire te stand in the way o! thc im- provement o! a village wbich already possesses -many attrac- tiens, flot thbc kast o! which bas been the fact that it bas remained comparatively free from real estate speculation and is an inexpensive place in wb.ich te live: (4) The present proposal, if adopted, would place us at a disadvan-bagc as eempared witbh others in the Township in that wc should be unabte 10 dispose o! tan-y part of our farms less than ten acres in area witbout special perm-ission from Toronto. We fail te sec that any sucb restraint of free action ini respect o! oui, own property would be in our nterest or te thc public advantage. Were a local Planning Board appointed, convenient o! access and o wbich we who are miainly a!-fn fected by thc present proposai would have due representation, our objections would be lessen-1 ed ci' removed: (5) We recjuest, therefore, that tbe by-law be withiheld for final reading until a local Plan- ning Board shail have been set uP and such subdivision an-d building restrictions adoptcd, as appear te your Council and te thc Planning Board te mccl the local needa. During the a!tcrnoon. session Mr'. R. Lovekin, legal councillor for the Township o! Clarke eut- lined many features o! sub-di- vision by-law control. Mr~. Love- kin Pointed eut thal the pre- vious by-law woutd stand un-il someone chailenged il. If the present by-law was taken te Court lie felI il couid be ruled invalid. However be pointed eut that il would be in force until challenged. Thtis first by- law did net; have thc necessaryi accempanying letters sent eut. j Reeve Brown stated thal bbc' b.y-law now up for considera- tien, was sîmilar in every way te tbc one alrcady passed. ?n. Lovkn said he could appreciate the position o! those who did net wanltet gel away f rom local balance. The real difficulty, be statcd, was from pressures o! expansion. The Planning Act was dcsigned not as a frail child foi' sub-dividers but te preserve agricultural lands and te prevent undue tax structures. "If yeu atlow ran- dom smal l evelopments then you will burden the larger land holders,"' stated M.r. Lovekin. lb can casily corne te a point where smail holders are being subsidized. Wit.bout tbe Plan- ning Act we could be buying ourselves a peck of trouble, be said. In connection wilh a Plan- ning Board Mr'. Lovekn point- cd eut thal such a Board rnakes approvals te and cases the ad- ministration of Ceuncil in the matters o! deveiopment. The Board i-nen way by-passes Council. The Planning Board he said, was appoinlcd by Council. Mr. H. B-est stated ho felt that Sub-division Centrel was a very important step andc that there must be a definite mean- i-g te il. Before il is approved he said, they would like to knew ail it involvcd. Mr. Love- kmn stated that it was most di!- ficult te say il un a nut-sheli as Ihere were se many aspects. Basicafly il was te stop hap- hazard deveioprncnt, Il prevent- cd people from forming litIle groups te build on cheap land wherc tax problems can arise. The Act iuts certaln difficul-j ties in the way of such devel- opmnent. In being asked about zoning Mx. Lovekin said that it was a two-edge sword giving protec- tion te those wbo wish te es- tablLsh being assured of ideai surroundings, The zoning by- law. he said, did often meet witb resistance but that it was certainly a protection. Mr. Best asked if land could be expropriatcd under the Planning Act. To this the law- yer said, "No." Mr. F. E. Ly- cett asked if the Council passed the new by-law without having a Planning Board if final ans- wers would still have to cone, from Queen's Park. Mr. Love- kin said that most approvals would have te corne froma Queen's Park without a Plan- ning Board but also the exist- ance of a Planning Board did flot mean that the Moisteri could not interfere if there was sound reason to do so. Profes- sor Sissons stated he feit that a mistake was being made where every single transaction had te go te Toronto. Reeve Brown pointed out a number of problems which now exist through the fact that a proper planning had not been in effect. Ma,. Lovekin stated that we mnust be practical. In commenting on the brief the lawyer stated that he saw no basic clash with the* proposais of the Council. He feit there was no real problem. Council then briefiy discuss- ed the by-iaw and gave it ita first reading. coPaMr. J. Simpson cml to Couincil regarding S'I Plowing and stated that he had lost a shipment of niiik as his road had not been ploughI e ed out that there was no fij to reimburse for such lasses. ~1, answering on repairs te tI road Mr. Brown stated that i%~ was on the agenda for this year. Also the reeve pointed out that S55M00 had already been spent this year on snow removal and that this would put a large bote in their appropriation. Township Public Sehoole The Reeve also pointed out that the necessary by-law te hold a vote on the debenturcg for two new public schools was being prepared to hold the vote as requested. He said they had na alternative but to hold tile vote and it would be held as soon as possible. I'ý was ai o stated that a by-lawv was being prepared te dissolve the area on approval from the Départ- ment. Mr'. Lovekin stated that they would have te await the outcome cf the by-laws before further action couid be déter- niined. Mr. Lovekin stated thit the Building By-iaw was nearing completion and that lhé wouil like to discu&s the draft with council prilor te ils final eom-. pletion.

The -choral-like harmony, and majestic, flowing melody o! the trio were well displayed, and the fortissimo passages sounded broad and full. For ber final group, Misa Ba- ker sang '"Depuis Le Jour (in French) by Charpentier, and "Sprlng In My Heart" by Straus. These, demanding a wide range of pitehada depth of feeling, werea very well sung. "Haydn's Symphony No. 100". the 'Miiitary' symphony, breught the program te its close. Aithough sounding rather toc military at times, the or- chestra did justice te this piece. The "National Aintbem" was played' well, with a feeling which is toc often ignored at conc&rts. The account cf this 'first' in our area would net be complete without reference te the Or- chestra's sponsor, the Oshawa Kiwanis Club. This organîza- tion has apparently elected toi prornote music as its service to communities and the Oshawa Club is no exéeption. Hats off. aise, te the mcm- bers of the Orchestra and te their h.ard-working leader. Con- siderine that they are amateurs and have been together under one year, these players should feel proud of tbemnselves for the quality cf the music they pre- sented.
