And the tea is still there, lapping away at the mutfiny and and damp leave: gravel earth!" All of which roseate verbiage is another way of saying that Mil- ton is still trudging through the sludgy aftermath of sewer instal lation HOPEFUL Arrival of construction equip- ment on No. 25 highway last week renewed flagging hopes that a new! surface might be laid on that very indifferent thoroughfare be- fore snow flies.

POINTS CHARTERED BUSES OFFER IDEAL SERVICE FOR ALL GROUP TRAVEL HALTON INN + hockey club executive this week inaugurated an open contest to find a name for a fledgling inter- mediate club. Burlington rooters viewed with glee a list of outstand- ing players now resident in the town, most prominent of whom are Carl Liscombe, former top- flight pro star; Norm Walker, late- ly of the defunct Michigan-Ontar- io loop; and the Shephard boys, one of whom will provide streng- th in goal. STERN WARNING Georgetown police last week issued a stern warning to the town's younger fry that severe action will be taken more break-ins occur at the high scfool. Twice recently children have entered the building, and, damage so far has included a broken window and an upset science lab.

NEW STATION Acton's new power station, which will add 2,000 K.V.A. of power to the 1.500 K.V.A. which supplies the town from it's other sub-station, was opened this week. SMITHISM ON SAFETY Carefree disc jockey Bruce Smith, issuing his daily warning to young listeners that it was time to start out for school, cautioned the kids one morning last week: "And be sure to keep in mind, kiddies, when crossing the streets, avoid that run down feeling!"

E. OPPOSITE POST OFFICE REGIMENTAL ROUNDUP By Major Art Kemp "B" Coy The Lorne Scots held their regular Tuesday nite parade at the Oakville Armoury, 10 Oct. 50, and the parade proved to be the most successful of the pre- sent training season both from an attendance point of view, and from the intake of recruits. The evening's training was high- lighted by a lecture from Lt. D. R. MacDonald covering the main points of Range Rules and Proced- ure, This was preparatory instruc- tlon for the forthcoming visit of "B" Coy to the Long Branch Ranges on Sunday, 15 Oct. 50. On this day of range work it has been arranged that every member of the Coy will be given the oppor: tunity to handle and fire the .303 rifle and Bren light machine gun. Support Coy, the Lorne Scots, held a very successful party on Friday last at Brampton. Several members of "B" Coy attended this dance and report that it will be a monthly occurrence in the future. Plans are still in the mixer for the Armistice Day Dance, but it is expected that definite informa- tion will be announced in a few days. J REAL ESTATE -- INSURANCE -- MORTGAGES * ) arvis & Ryrie J.

Since 1947 the population has increased by 323,000, over 70,000 new homes have been constructed, approximately 700 new industries have been established and the value of production has risen an estimated 1% billion dollars, 88,541 new rural consumers have been supplied with Hydro and the value of agri- cultural production has increased by some 400 million dollars . . . all of which called for power in greater quantities than at any previous time. BUT--in addition to this tremendous growth, the recent step-up in industrial activity due to defence rearmament contracts has brought ~ abouta sharp increase in the use of electricity. In the past few weeks the maximum primary demand in Southern Ontario has been as much as 400,000 horsepower (298,000 kilowatts) higher than a year ago - - an increase 5 times greater than the long term average rate of growth. For this reason your Hydro urges everyone to co-operate in the con- servation of electricity. atho™ AVOID WASTING ELECTRICITY atwotk f SSE
