"And, although we've stayed well within our prelimin- ary estimates, it has been an ex- pensive project. However, since our primary" objective in putting in the lights has been to pro- mote increased attendance at in- termediate games in order that we might have more money to develop organized ball among the town's youngsters, I'm sure we'll find during the next few seasons that it has been well worth the cost and the effort. In fact, I'm sure that public support will be such that our work among the kid ball teams will get an almost immediate lift." Résume Play With all the poles now pointing skyward, play at Wallace park resumed this week, and with a backlog of postponed contests and playoff time at hand, a full and varied baseball menu during the next few weeks is assured. Director Don Davis informed the meeting that installation of new concrete dugouts for home and visiting teams has been shelved until next spring. Temporary ben- ches will be set up to serve the remainder of this season. Two ad- 9itions? stands will be put in to- each acoommodating 110 bitlliy he stated.

The bolt, which struck during the torrential thunder storm late Monday afternoon, also damaged an adjacent gas main. A crew was rushed from Hamil- ton to repair the gas line. Oaks Eager!

They weren't real Indians, of but they were fairly good imitations, with feathers in their hair. Altogether the big '"pow- pow" which ended the first two- week period of the Oakville Rec: reation Commission's day camp was a big success. Besides the tire lighting ceremony there was a realistic war-dance, a series of Indian games, an Indian pagennt, Indian songs, and, to end it all, day at Martins park, Churchville Secretary Charlie Ford ad transportation will from the Legion hal 2.30. DIGGIN' LAGGIN' Wet SAME OLD NUMBER Although the old, familiar "515" number _ is being held for the Oakville and District Humane Society until such time as the new shelter has been built and placed in operation, there Is no point in calling that number for the present. The society has no shelter at the moment--and therefore, no shelter keeper. "We've arranged to keep the old number, as it is now so well known to town residents," ex- plained director Herb Merry this week. "However, until we get settled away in our new quarters, we can't provide our customary service, so we would appreciate it very much if 515 is given a rest until the new shelter Is complet- ed." weather has held up the moving of Oakville's old post office building from Colborne Street near the bridge to its new location at Lakeside Park at the foot of Thomas Street. President William Hughes of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, which is looking after the move, informed the Journal yesterday that there was" water in the excavation on the new site, which would have to be drained before the footings could be laid, Rain has also prevented the Chamber members from getting the old wooden structure' ready for the move. It is hoped, however, that the work can be accomplished within next week or so. JOURNAL JAUNT TO VACATIONLAND The Journal office will close for the one week, dur- ing which there will be no issue of your paper, from August 5th to August 12th. This policy has been adop- ted in order that the staff may have a real holiday this year. Last year holidays were staggered during the holi- day periods, with at least one member of the staff on va- cation over a seven week stretch. During the absence of other employees, those on the job were rushed to a point where they were either the exhausted when they went on vacation, or soon lost the benefit of their vacation when they returned. This year it was felt that with the shop closed for one week, the holiday period could be completed in three weeks, thus ensuring a better holiday for every- one. This is the practice adopted by many of the weekly newspapers, and has also been adopted by large industry. The Journal of the week following the holiday week will contain double portions of news, comics, etc, and subscribers will not be penalized for the lost week, as renewals of subscriptions will be advanced one week when they come due. We would urge anyone requiring printing in the near future to note this clos- ing date, so they may p orders for a delivery big Now the "Indians poured and glven boys and cowgirls, who live in cowboy tents. and spend their time making corrals and lassoes. Conditions at the camp have been much improved by the piping in of town water, through the gen- erosity of Oakville Rotary €lub.
