"Which would be a serious loss, for it often takes many months of searching to unearth the record which a cus- tomer wants. And to have the last of its kind broken would indeed be tragic." It isn't only the mass-produc- tion angle of present day record- ings which bothers Mr. Court's customers. "In the opinion of many competent judges the art of singing is declining," he said, "The tendency today as regards operatic performances is toward naturalness of acting. The sing ers job is to make the audience in the character he is portraying, and this is done at the expense of his vocal art." He secured our complete agreement with his next point, when he stated that audiences today would not stand for 200 Ib, Rudolfos making love to 220 1b. Mimis.

Mordaunt, on the Sixth Line near the Queen Elizabeth highway, was voiced by R. Stur- Tup, a property owner in the neighborhood, at Trafalgar town- ship council's meeting Thursday afternoon. "I don't think we allow a factory to be started in the midst of our pro- perties," sald Mr. Sturrup, speak- ing on behalf of a group of Tate- payers. "The zoning by-law has been delayed," Councillor R. C. A. Cumberland told him.' "It has no legal authority until the third Tt is being held up on account of the green belt. If, the green belt had not been objected to we would have had a zoning by-law by this time. There are now things happening in this township which are very serious. There are five distinct cases lof misuse of land contemplated in the township today. If people want a restrictive by-law, all they have to do Is request one. My ad- vice to you.ls to get together with the people and define an area. I'll see it gets through in a couple of months." "We want to go on record as being opposed to any extension of the factory building," sald Mr. Sturrup. Construction of water-mains for the district was also discussed, and a petition will be prepared by the ratepayers. Mr. Mordaunt asked permission to sell his Sixth Line property on which he formerly operated a repair shop. Reeve Wickson In- formed him that in view of the proposed industrial use of the property council could not grant that permission. Council decided to continue providing police protection for Bronte until such time as the new village council was elected.

An Oakyille trio, skipped by Syd Belmont, assist- ed by Mr. Belmont as vice and Claude Warrington as lead, scor- ed three wins with a total of 55 points to capture the trophy, which the club retains for anoth- er year. Mrs. 'Archibald, who was introduced to the large crowd of bowlers and spectators by Presi- dent Tommy Hassall, congratu- lated the winners and presented the trophy. On Tuesday of last week the regular jitney tournament was played to a full green. Tommy Hassall walked off with first Drize, with Ray Mathews a close second. In the ladies' section Mrs. Mathews was first, and Mrs. Ed Heldman second. Several rinks went to Streetsville Saturday to play in the mixed trebles. Mark Imeson captured second prize, assisted, by Mrs. Mathews and Lachlan McArthur. In third place was Bd Heldman, with Mrs Held- man and Norman Groves.
