An artist' who approached a canvas without having in mind the final - picture he wished to produce would immediately be lost, for any colors he applied would be meaningless. When a community such as ours starts a rapid growth such as being experienced at the present time, it is in the same position as that artist. It should have a clear vision of what the final effect is to be. Aware of the dangers which can result when haphazard development is permitted, the Trafalgar council has established a planning board under the provision of the Planning Act. With this move leader- ship has been given to the district. \ The members of the board have not yet been appointed, but will be representative o the various interests that go to make up the township. The task which this board will assume is not an easy one. But the importance of: the work, and the contribution which the members will have it in their power to make, should be ample inducement to those who are asked to serve. . COUNCIL HAS THE POWER The belief that ratepayers, through petitions, should advise council of sections where restrictions should be instituted before any action be taken, is held by some members of Trafalgar council. Muni- cipal councils have the power under the Act to insti- tute restrictions and zoning--with full protection pro- vided for any ratepayers who are not in accord. It would therefore seem that council should institute action in cases where it knows that a group of resi- dents desire zoning--despite the lack of a signed peti- tion. Such was the case with the area which Council- Jor Cumberland's held-over motion affected. Certain residents had stated to council that they wished to see the area restricted to' residential and farming purposes. Possibly there are also residents who do not wish such zoning. By carrying Councillor Cum- berland's motion, council would have assured itself of securing an accurate reaction from residents in the area. Those who were aghinst such zoning would appear at the hearing held under the provisions of the act to state their position on the matter. When the newly created planning board has de- cided on its recommendations for the township as a whole, restrictions and zoning will be instituted by council we would gather. Possibly the starting of a restriction in the area west of town at this time would give the planning board an idea of the reactions of residents which it can expect in the future. By and large, it could do no harm, possibly it might do ONIN NAA| ter Tales \Y By Bessie Cairns GAY HATS AND A BUNCH OF | HEATHER My impressions of the opening of the Oritario Legislature are some- what like Christopher Robins' bed- time prayer: "Wasn't it fun in the bath tonight, the cold so cold and the hot so hot; oh, God bless daddy, I quite forgot" When I heard the price of bacon men- 'tioned in the Speech from the Throne, like a thrifty housewife I pricked up my ears; but my eyes kept straying to a beautiful navy blue hat trimmed with bright red poppies.
