They did receive one call last Thursday, when they were summoned to the home of Peter Petrozzi in 'Reach Town- ship. This was a small grass fire and was under control when "firemen arrived. The warm weather usually brings a rash of grass fires and any person contemplating burning grass should be very careful and- take precautions so that they can keep it under + control at all times. - in a board being formed to 'come up with recommend- ations on the area's future.

Mr. McKeough said it was quite likely the Oshawa Area Planning and Development Study would show that 'some of Ontario County should be directly related to. York County in a political and administrative sense I believe that allowance should be made for possible external boundary changes in the area."
