It was felt that this would open the door for exceptions in every case that might arise in the fu- ture: It was also realized that the property is still saleable at prac- tically no loss. Sin® the date of the meeting, the matter has been discussed by the Township Council and they have investigated all possible solu- tions in a very thorough manner. They have decided that the by- law should not be amended with- out a request from a considerable number of residents in the im- mediate locality. It should also be pointed out that any amend ment to the by-law is, of course, subject to the approval of the Municipal Board at an open hear- ing. Politics Discussions have taken place on the question of political activ- ities. It was the opinion of the Tecent meeting that the Associa- tion should not back individual parties or candidates, but that everyone should take an active interest in voting. 8th Line Crossing Though not an activity of the Association, it is worth reporting that a resident on his own in- itiative has been very active in obtaining some form of signal at "the railway crossing on the 8th line. The installation of flashing lights has been recommended by the Transport Board. Lights A Sub-committee, composed of Messrs. T. S. H. Giles, D. J. Wilk- ins. and W. J. Ryan, has been asked to find out the wishes of the residents with regard to the installation of lights on)the 8th Line, Linbrook and Morrisoa Roads. Due to the present short- age of power, nothing can be done. in the Immediate future but it is| hoped that a definite line of action can be decided at the An- nual Meeting of the Association in March. Speed Limits A Sub-committee, composed of Messrs. E. J. James, J. F. Gray- don, L. H. Hulme, has been asked to investigate the securing of a speed limit of 30 miles-per-hour on all roads in the area. This will include the erection of such signs. as are necessary. It should be noted that the school sign on the Linbrook Road has been recently Te-erected. Morrison Road Bridge The repair of the Morrison Road bridge has been discussed with the Township Council. Apperently the only solution is to replace the bridge entirely and this has been proposed for 1948. It has been suggested to the Council that, in the meantime, additional guard rails be installed for the safety of traffic using this bridge during the winter. Skating Rink A Sub-committee, composed of Messrs. F. W. Taylor, C. T. Dyson and G. Wells, has been asked to investigate the installation of a skating rink in the grounds of the Linbrook school. ; chooling he went to Niagara-on- the-lake to join the staff of the He was, at that time, what is known as a '"two-thirder," Advance. a man who has completed three years of his apprenticeship. Later he located in Toronto and was responsible for ad and page make-up for Might Direct- ories. He was, by this time, a fully qualified compositor. Tll-fortune came at this time and for 18 months he was un- able to work because of ill- health. On recovery he joined the Chatham Daily News leav- ing it to start his own paper in Hamilton, the Westdale Advance. He was the whole paper, report- er, editor, salesman and printer, so his sports column and other writing for this paper takes him back to an activity he always enjoyed. Immediately prior to publishing the Journal he was on the staff of the other local paper for 12 years. : Vince married Vera Disher of Hamilton in 1933. They have two daughters, Marilynne aged 12 and Donna aged 9. Vince has been secretary of the Oakville Lions Club for six years, and is at present serving under his seventh president. He attends t. John's United Church, and while he has played hockey, (left- wing) and hard ball, (third-base), he now restricts his sporting ac- tivities to golf. wu Meet The Publishers RUSSELL J. WHEELER Glen Williams is a pretty town in Halton County north of Oak- ville. Winding streams and small waterfalls make it a beauty spot. Located close to a wooded section of country--the colors in eutumn are worth the attention of any Oalkvillian--one would perhaps ex- pect it to have a larger popula- tion. For instance, of retired peo- ple seeking a gracious place to live for it is truly a beauty spot. Here the other half of the Journal's publisher was born. Russell J. Wheeler grew up in Glen Williams, attending Public School there; and completing his education at nearby Georgetown High School. Canadian sports seem to be in the blood of both of the Journal's partners, fon Russ played left-wing for the hockey team. Later in life, when he was living in Brampton he played right- field for the local team. Russ started his business' career by apprenticing himself to the Georgetown Herald, leaving this paper to go to the Baptist Book Room in Toronto when he was a fully-qualified compositor. Hi moved on to Brampton, where he joined the Charters Publishing Company, in charge of make-up and composition. 5 His next move gave him writing experience. He became editor of the New Toronto Advertiser. He refuses to say whether the tribul- ations which beset 'editors was the reason for his change to the Hugh Heaton Music Publishing Company in Toronto, but he states experience toward preparation for his present venture was always in his mind. Then he became publisher of the Streetsville Record. He married Blanche Rutledge of Streetsville and has two children, James aged 16, and Ruth aged 10. Russ is a member of the LO.O.F. lodge, and attends the United Church in Streetsville, where he now, lives. R. C. A.
