H. Biggar The work has started on the Morrison Road bridge, and I ex- pect that the work in the Gardens community section will start at the same time as the same con- tractor has both jobs. I should like to explain that when we were studying the new: bridge for the Morrison Road we decided that to construct a de- tour to be used while the bridge was being made would be too large an undertaking. We dis- cussed the matter with residents affected and they agreed that closing the road would be satis- factory. We regret that this closed road may cause some in- convenience to motorists and resi- dents above the bridge, but we feel the cost would have been too large for a detour. When this bridge is finished, it will remove a danger point for the previous bridge was very nar- row. Of course, it is hard to say when the work will be completed, but we hope for a speedy job. it can be added to In units as necessity demands. In closing may I 'assure the residents of Pine Avenue that in spite of unauthorized reports to the contrary, council has not changed its authorization of sew- ers for Pine Avenue, and the sewer committee is making every effort to have them installed this fall. The same applies with re- | gard to the request of Dean Ave- nue residents. Oakville, Ontario, Thursday, July 22, 1948 Varying Viewpoints The saga of unusual fire calls to district brigades con- tinues to grow. Although they made a rapid run, Bronte fire brigade arrived too late last Thursday to save a choice roast of pork which caught fire as Miss Mary Selan pre- pared dinner. While firemen reported no damage, it is doubtful that Miss Selan, re- viewing rising meat costs as she stood in her smoke-filled kitchen surveying the char- red remains of the roast, was in complete agreement, Farm Girls Assist Auto Crash Victims Girls of the Ontario Farm Service camp, led by Jean Eliot, gave first aid to two Toronto women who were injured in a traffic crash near the camp last week. Mrs. T. J. Tobin and Mrs. M. Milman were hurt when a truck, driven by H. H. Brophy, overturned. The women were re- moved to hospital after heing cared for by the girls. Brophy has been charged with reckless driving. Interest Runs High In Legion Carnival, It may be the humid July i e the current i cost of vacationing in On- tario's northland, but if advance ticket sales can be accepted as a token of interest, there are sev- eral hundred Oakville area resi- dents a-hankerin' to win that Muskoka holiday for two, which is being offered as first prize in the Canadian Legion carnival draw. Chairman Ollie Johnson, of the Branch 114 carnival com- mittee, reported yesterday that interest to date seems to assure outstanding success for this year's frolic. The carnival, scheduled for Fri- day and Saturday of this week, will be held on the Central school commons. As is customary, the small fry of the town will have their innings during the early evening. On Friday night at 7.30 p.m, the Little Olympia boys and girls drill team will demonstrate its skill under the able direction of Charles Flippance. The spright- ly merry-go-round, which has made Junior's eyes pop since time immemorial, will begin its piping early, while two other kiddie rides will be in full swing. For older folk, the ever-popu- lar bingo will again be a magnet, while a full complement of other tried and true carnival games has been arranged. The committee has arranged for many fine prizes to go to lucky winners at the games: booths, which will offer a wealth of variety. And speaking of prizes, the complete list for the draw is an impressive one. First prize, of course, is the all expenses paid week's vacation for two in beau- tiful Muskoka, with an additional $50 for pocket money. Second prize is a gleaming, modern wash- ing machine, while a mantle radio, tricycle, pressure cooker and electric iron follow in that order. z The committee has also ar- ranged for a musical background for the fun and festivity. The in Oakville Citizens' band will share C) the spotlight with | the Legion Pipe band, while other features too numerous to mention seem destined to make the 21st anni- versary carnival the best ever held by Branch 114. Accept Tenders ForSchool Work Acton , Milton At the meeting last week of the North Halton high school board tenders were accepted for the building of a two-room addi- tion to 'Milton high school and a one-room addition to the Acton high school The tender accepted for the extension to the Milton high school is for $42,552, by the Foundation Company of Ontario, and for the Acton high school ad- dition the tender of $12,117 by the Jones & Vangils Company, Hanifl- ton. Work will start at once with an effort to have the buildings completed as nearly as possible by the opening of the autumn term. Shop work and household science will be now included in the curriculum of the Milton high school and a commercial course will be added to the Acton high school curriculum. Bus service from all parts of the districts served by these schools will be arranged to start at the beginning of the new term. Bronte Couple Enjoy Unusual Occupation Unusual colours and distine- tively Canadian symbols provide Mrs. W. A. N. Hoey, of Bronte, with designs for her chintzes which are so popular for home decorating. In an old stone barn beside their home on Ontario St., the Hoeys have installed home- made printing tables, screens and other equipment required for the complicated process of printing fabrics. Finished lengths of ma- terial and sketches for new de- signs are piled high in the house. Artist Elizabeth Hoey plan- ned at first to sell her designs to manufacturers in New York, but as a result of material shortages in the United States, she decided to finish the chintzes herself, by mixing dyes and stamping the cloth with her designs. Due to a lack of information on practical methods of dye mixing, she ex- perienced many failures while ex- perimenting in an old mill in York Mills, "We built our tables ourselves and washed the screens in the iver since there was no water system," Mrs. Hoey said. "I re- member carting screens out to York Mills on the street "car and then trudging a mile and a quar- ter through blizzards to the mill." After her marriage:in 46, Mus, Hoey moved to Oakvile, where she and her husband at first print- ed their fabrics in a hayloft. "We reached the loft by a ladder and were watched by an old horse as we washed our screens in his (continued on page 10) Auto Smashes Pole, Causes Power Break Electric power on Morrison Rd. was disrupted for a five-hour per- iod Monday night as a result of Jan accident on Lakeshore Rd., in which an eastbound car crashed nto a Hydro pole, According to pl.

Trafalgar township council wholeheartedly endorsed the aims and tentative program of the Ontario Shore and Beach Pro- tective association as it unanim- ously agreed 'to become associated with the group of municipalities which is studying the lakefront erosion problem. Clerk Sheldon Featherstone was instructed to forward the $100 fee covering membership in the association. Mayor Charles Hillmer, a direc- tor of the association, outlined the research program which has been carried out to date, and voiced the opinion all lakeshore municipalities should readily ac- cept membership. "The Ontario government has given us much assistance, and is at present conducting a survey of the erosion problem through its own engineering department," he declared. 'We expect a report this autumn covering the entire shoreline from Belleville to the Niagara river, on receipt of which we will immediately approach the Dominion government for defin- ite action. We are extremely anxious to line both governments, solidly behind the project, but to date it has been a tough job try- ing to line up federal support. Prospects are much brighter now, however." Mr. Hillmer maintained the problem was a province-wide one and that public bodies and private individuals could only be success- ful by coping with it as a group. "Local work simply couldn't be adequately handled by an indi- vidual municipality, as it is too big a job," he stated. "I'm glad to hear private indi- viduals are enlisted in the plan," commented Councillor Joseph Wickson. "It would seem unfair to me that people living inland should bear any burden for lake- shore dwellers. I've always felt the beach owners should come "I always took exception fo the. town policy concerning shore pro- perty," agreed Mr. Hillmer. "When tracts were leased at $1 per year, the lessees should have had to agree to keep the beaches up. In- stead, our children couldn't go to the lake to swim because of private property signs." "How long before you expect tangible results?" queried Coun- cillor R. C. A, Cumberland. "It took two years in the States to get plans ready, but they are making progress now. The use of groynes has proven very suc- cessful. However, I can't fore- cast what the plan will be until the survey is completed." "This is definitely an important project, and we must join neigh- bouring councils in folly Support, ship pit. $2.00 Per Year in Advance. A Township Council Supports Lakeshore Protection Plan Outlined By Hillmer ing it," commented Reeve Biggar. Land Bylaw Council approved a bylaw des- ignating the township as an urban! development area. Through the bylaw, it was pointed out, no owner is permitted to sell less than 10 acres before registering an acceptable subdivision plan, Tn this way, council is able to con. trol building and subdividing to the benefit of township residents as a whole. Housing Problem While discussing the request of B. K. Snider that a subdividing plan be approved, Deputy-reeve. W. S. Hall voiced firm disagree ment with the practice of per- mitting residents to occupy cellar dwellings. "I don't believe we should al- low people to build their places in that way," he declared, pointing out two purchasers of Mr. Suid. er's property have as yet' Pro complete their homes. oat like it." "Neither ar do they," countered Mr. Snider. "They will have nice homes when they are finished, but material shortages have held them up. Where would you have them live? In basements or on the street? Who are we to tell people where they must live when they are hard pressed, yet are trying to build a home?" "There was a scarcity a year ago, but now T feel that a lot of 'these people are content to live in these cellars and don't intend to complete them immediately," commented Councillor Cumber-. land. "The permit is good for one year, and I'd suggest the police committee really get after this type of builder." Mr. Snider agreed the building inspector should warn home. builders. "The two cases in ques- tion are sincere, I feel," he stated. 'Orie had to move, the other was living in one room. They had to do something." Council will instruct the build- ing inspector to impress the time limit. upon district builders. New Subdivision Council took under considera tion the request of Ross, Ballan- tyne for approval of a new sub- division plan which includes 89 lots situated near the corner of! the 7th Line and Queen Elizabeth highway. The proposed new resi- dential section would be made up! of lots 85 to 90 feet frontage. Gravel Supply It was learned a $900 offer has been made for four acres of gravel land adjoiniyig the present town- "There is enough gravel there, in my opinion, to look af- ter our roads for several years,' said Reeve ve Biggar, £ Good Sport In Prospect For Halton Hunters and Fishermen A of 810 pheasants arrived last week from government hatcheries near Co- bourg to restock Nelson and Tra- falgar townships in preparation for the fall shoot, Dudley Hitch- cox, game warden, announce "One shipment has been sent to the northern townships of Hs- quesing and Nassagaweya," he stated, "and we are expecting 420 birds for Trafalgar and Nelson." Pens, 10 by 20 feet, have been erected throughout the county where the pheasants are kept un- til acclimatiz In 10 days a few of the birds are to be released and soon after the remainder will be set loose, but although open, the pens are kept well stocked with food and water in the hope that the pheasants will return after the hunting season. Banding the birds with a num- ber and the pen from which they are released is expected to aid in determining their habits, "As sants are shot," Mr. Hitcheox we hope hunters will send in these bands and report the lo- cations in which the birds were killed. In this way we can tell how far they have strayed from W PEST. SIDE PICNIC More than 400 children and adults are expected to attend the Woastoiis picnic, to be held 'at the committee in cast Tuesday night as it met to complete arrangements for a full program of races. Events will include many novelty features, as well as speed tests foy youngsters from 6 to 16.
