Atomic Bomb Preparation If Oakville ' should be unfor- tunate enough to suffer an atom bomb attack, local Optimists should know how to protect them- selves and families and fellow- citizens. At the Optimist Club's regular supper meeting Monday evening, the members were shown a film demonstrating the proper course of action in such an emer- gency. Instructions were given on how to protect oneself against the bomb's blast, heat and radio- active powers. Lieut-Governor Bert Barnes of West Toronto Club inducted four First Call for Dinner!

In addition, of course, the bulk of Oakville's residents viewed the carpet, which was on display in the showroom of Stirling-Dynes Limited. Present plans are to have the rug presented to the People of Canada next fall. The visit of Princess, Elizabeth could provide a fitting climax, LO.D.E. execu- tives feel, for the epic of Queen Mary's Carpet, which has now travelled by air, train and car, a total mileage in excess of twice across the Dominion of Canada. It is well known that Princess Elizabeth and Queen Mary have always been the closest of friends and that many of the attributes which have endeared the Prin- cess to the people of England and the Commonwealth, are those which have been handed on to her by her grandmother. No other person could more per- fectly symbolize the unity of the Commonwealth by presenting the carpet to the Canadian people, than the dedication and preses tation which grand-daughter Princess Elizabeth will make next fall during her visit, if the plans presently being laid by the' 1.0.D.E. meet with the approval of the Princess. It is to be hoped that plans for the royal tour will enable this presentation to be made in Otta- wa during the stay of the royal couple in Canada's capitol. It will be a symbolic occasion, for the dimes, nickels and quarters of the Canadian people will have gone to aid Britain--through the gift of the $100,000 received by the Queen Mother--and the Can- adian people will be the owners of a work of art fashioned by a beloved member of the Royal family, the ruling family of the count; which fathered this country, and has nurtured it to its present adulthood.

"But there is nothing official about it," stress- ed Mr. Lauder. Reasons for Oakville's climb n the competence ladder are many and varied. During the past few years, there have been many innovations. A new alarm system has been installed, new pumping facilities have been added to bring the town's water system up to modern specifications, Chief Shaw has been put on a full time basis, inspections of premises have increased tremendously, and big pumpers have been purchased to bolster other equipment. And all this, says Mr. Lauder, is just "among other things." At the moment, the Oakville brigade has two pumpers, two hose trucks and one ladder truck. Helping Chief Shaw are five cap- tains, five Lieutenants' and 30 firemen. And aside from all this manpower, they have one of the best fire loss records you'd hope to find anywhere.
