Held Annual Meeting Thursday Transfer Service Wednesday the Canadian National Railway commenced operation of a "Transfer Service" to provide local freight shippers with service the equal of that available in Toronto, By the use of a brand new 26-foot trailer truck freight shipments picked up locally by 4 pm, --daily will be taken to Tor- onto where they will be placed in freight cars as soon as similar shipments picked up in Toronto. This service works both ways, freight being brought from Toronto at 1 p.m. daily by the truck instead of by way-freight as formerly. In the end this may mean the port of entry for Oakville will become Toronto instead of Hamilton, as this would eliminate annoying delays caused 'by less-than-car-lot shipments out of Hamilton having to wait for Aldershot cars to be completed.

Nunn, Honorary Field Commissioner Ontario Boy Scout Association, guest speaker at Rotary Club Monday night in Victoria Hall. Other guests, members of the Oakville Boy Scout Executive, included Dr. C. Lloyd-Jones, Leonard A. Stansbury, Mrs Clare Willis, W. J. Tisdale and 'William Moore. The speaker, introduced by H. G. McKillop, did not limit himself to the subject of Scouting but spoke of the problem of youth education in general. He asked his listeners to remember the trite but true saying that "the boy of to-day is the man of to- was morrow." Our "teenagers" are moulding our to-morrow, he stated. Baden - Powell, the founder of Scouting, said "the main end of education is the making of citizens, and in short, the giving of health and character to the individual." Mr Nunn placed on the table the figure of a Boy Scout in uni- form and making each letter of the word "Youth" sub-headings of his address, he attached to the standing figure before him as he spoke a small sign. bearing the title of his toplc of the moment, "Y,"" he said, 'stands for the Yearnings of youth. "O" for youth's Obligations, "ys for Useful; "T" for Talents; "H" for Health. Illustrating each of these points effectively his ad- dress was enlightening and thought-provoking. Mr Haughton Laird expressed the thanks of the club to the speaker for his enjoyable and inspiring address.

In a letter made public in 1944 I pointed out the hazardous con- ditions which our lack of an ade- quate disposal plant was crea- ting. I am now pleased to be able to say that the new plant is nearing completion and we are endeavoring to have it in opera- tion by the end of spring. An activated sludge-type plant --which is the most modern meth- od--will be capable of handling our present volume with addit- ional capacity which should be sufficient for some time, Should more capacity be required, this plant has been designed so it can easily be added to if necessary. TOWNSHIP THE REEVE REPORTS By R. OC. A. Cumberland, Councillor Twenty or thirty years from now, unless a sound foundation is paid for the inevitable develop- ment of our township, mistakes will become apparent which will be costly or impossible to correct. It is possible to visualize the area between the Dundas High- way and the lake supporting a population of between 20,000 and 25,000 people, embodying resi- dential, industrial and business areas. Without immediately going into the complexities of anticipa- ting density of population in specific areas, extension of serv- ices and future rights of way, I propose to recommend to the council a definite zoning plan. A plan which, if they see fit, will be submitted to the municipal board who in turn will instruct the township to advise the prop- erty owners affected and will sit to hear both sides. The natural location for indus- try is along the railway and Queen Elizabeth highway, The area between the railway and the lake is most suitable for residen- tial and agricultural purposes as is the area between the Queen Elizabeth highway and the Dun- das highway. May I point out that present business locations will not be affected and will ful- fill local and merchandizing re- quirements for the future. With- out planning, an uncontrolled jumble of all three will only re- sult in less attractive residential areas, with subsequent land val- ues, The area to the east of Oak- ville below the railway has by the wish of property owners been established for residential and agricultural purposes and it is my intention to extend this zon- ing to other appropriate areas, I appreciate Mr. Biggar permit- ting me the use of the township column this week.
