Page 4 THE OAKVILLE-TRAFALGAR JOURNAL Thursday, February 9, 1950 To Carve Junior's Name On New Some enterprising young mem- ber of Oakville's Junior Humane Society is going to have the honor of having his or her name im- printed in concrete at the en- trance to the new animal shelter, work on which will start shortly. Herbert Merry, head of the Jun- ior society and chairman of the senior society's building commit- tee, is enlisting the aid of all jun- ior members to further the new project. They will be asked to sell cement blocks for the building, and the member selling the most will have his name, with the foot- print of his dog, imprinted on the Junior Humane Society Mascot first cement square on the walk leading to the shelter. Each child will be permitted to print his name on the end of each block he has sold. The names will not show once the blocks are in place, how- ever. In addition, each member of the Junior society will be given the responsibility for providing one block for the building. And each one who donates a block will be given a small box in which he may place snapshots of himself and his pet, and writings describ- ing the world of today, These WILL "COUNTING SHEEP" HELP YOU TO SLEEP?

It is hoped the new shelter will be ready for the annual pet show of the society in May. Council Agrees (Continued from page one) sed their desire that the hospital be successful," and Mayor Black assured the board that council was only too anxious to do every- thing within its power to assist the board. "But you should bear in mind that we have our prob- lems too", he said, "The changes that were made in the by-law for the sale of the debentures were made, because of legal require- ments, and to satisfy the Depart- ment of Municipal Affairs. We would not be performing our duty as a council if we did not observe all the legal aspects of any mat- ter." He stressed that this was the first appearance of the board be- fore council, and that it was al- ways welcome to come before council, "We want to help you in every way that we can," he con- cluded. Folowing the passing of the motions, Mr. Dunwoody ex- pressed the appreciation of the board for the eouncil's co-opera- tion. General Business Council appointed Gordon Per- due to fill the unexpired term of George C. Atkins on the High School Area Board. The schedule for February for the Gasoline closing hours was approved. The town engineer was instructed to prepare a profile of Colborne Street, from town limit to town limit, and to call for tenders for resurfacing of the street. The res- ignation of assistant town clerk Mervin Bonney, who wished to enter the R.C.A.F., was accept- ed, Local firms with individual fire-alarm systems were author- ized to have them connected to the newly installed town system. Oakville will observe Day-light Saving again this year, starting date to be in accordance with that chosen by Toronto. The request of a citizen for damages resulting to his basement and oil burner because of a backed up sewer was refused. "In this town, if we start paying claims such as this we'll need another debenture for $1,000,000," Councillor McArthur said, recommending it be refused. Illegal By-Law Councillor Isard reported he had consulted the town solicitor concerning the possibility of a by-law to restrict out of town drycleaning firms' business activ- ities, which had been requested by local dry-cleaning firms. "It is not legally possible for us to pass such a by-law," he said.
