IT'S A HARD LIF E, SHELTER TABBY'S NEW OFFSPRING FINDS 0C' CAMERON 92 ON SUNDRY Oakyille's - Doc Cameron, one of the oldest lawyers in Ontario, will have a birthday on Sunday, his ninety-second. Although the attainment of this milestone in his long career might seem to call for something in the way of @ celebration, Mr. Cameron is vlanning to spend the day as he usually passes the Sabbath, in Quiet meditation at his home on Dundas Street. The veteran legal practitioner has now given up his practice in Toronto, not primarily on account months ago. He is still remark- ably hale and hearty for one of his years, and often walks down- town. A resident of Oakville since ago established something of a record for com- muting between here and the city. The nickname "Doc," by which he has been universelly known for many years, Is formed by his initials. His christian names are Duncan Ontario. © Although the facilities at the new Humane Society shelter have been adjudged among the finest of their kind by veterinary ex- perts, at least one dissenting voice was discovered among the "patients" this week. The maternity case in question was the shelter's own pet tabby, which confounded the attending obstetrician, shelterkeeper Bill Corcoran, by producing only ONE meeowing offspring. And not con- tent with making the word "litter" singular in every sense, this fas- tidious feline promptly rejected Bill's every effort to supply his most modern tabby bassinets. She spurned a specially prepared basket, raised a disdainful snoot at a spotless pen, and disappeared. 'When he finally found her, keeper Corcoran suddenly began to wonder if his pet was originally a puss from Pakistan. She'd made her, kitten a bed of the accepted Hindu fakir type--in a keg of two-inch nails! Pets open for adoption at the shelter at present include a large part police dog, several part span- iels, two part terriers, and a full assortment of kittens.

"Older time plan- ers were too visionary, and their charted efforts were swept into town hall vaults by depressions. Today, planning has taken its rightful place in the provincial and municipal scheme of things. Environment, industry, means of transportation, most economical services setup--all come under consideration. In other words, your planners endeavour to in- sure a good community run as cheaply as possible." Discussing planning techniques in the Oakville area, Col.

Such de- velopments hereabouts in just the past year put Oakville In that position. For instance, the build- ing of a plant employing 500 workers can mean, in addition to housing problems, an additional two public school rooms and one high school room. It's a big pro- blem, this planning, and residents may be happy in capable hands here." Special guests of the club at this meeting were mayor J. R. Black, and planning board mem- bers R. C. A.

Appointed as members of the Bronte-Trafalgar Planning *Com- mittee were Councillor A. Dalby and two men from outside the council, Ernest Belyea and Alvin Bumby. Three members will be appointed by Trafalgar Township. The new group will work in close co-operation with the Oakville Trafalgar Planning Board. Mr. Bumby addressing council in the course of the discussion that preceded the formation of the committee, pointed out that people were taking advantage of the ab- sence of restrictive legislation to establish business concerns in res- identfal: areas. He also pointed to the need for Mdustries in pro- portion to residences, to help bear BRONTE TO CONCENTRATE ON PLANNING, SEEKS TO AVOID DORMITORY the cost of services. "If we get industry we are going to have an influx of people," he declared. "We are interested in getting people who will be em- ployed in the village. Colonel Nash of the planning department warned us against having Bronte become a dormitory for workers from outside Industries." Charges that the Oakville-Tra- falgar Planning Board was at- tempting to dictate the planning of Bronte and surrounding district were made by D. A. Allan and Frank O. Gallagher. "The former plan definitely discriminated against Bronte," declared Mr. Al- lan. "It was a deliberate attempt to limit the growth of the district around Bronte. I believe the plan- ning board is a Trojan horse as far as Bronte is concerned. If the plan which was presented had gone through it would have been impossible for Bronte to take Im any new area. It is still difficult, (Continued on Page 14) Bring The iddies to Kiwanis Circus
