The newest shoe-shade for teen-agers — according to the fashion books — is raspberry wine. In this catching color is a pair of loafers with outside tongues buckled at the top. The ever-dainty and comfortable ballerinas are now appearing with exciting variations. One particular style has criss-cross ribbon trim on the toe and comes in black, gray, green and navy. More and more people are discovering that crepe and good for this time of the year when there's still dampness under foot, One Main, Street shop carries these shoes in all colors of suede and they're reasonable, too! : BUTTONS AND BOWS Come spring, Blouses sell themselves. You'll need them to wear- under suits or as skirt-topg when the weather forces you to dis- card wool and jersey. We found a simply delightful model at a local store. It has a double collar — fastened with a tiny button-bow. There are fly buttons down the back and two little covered ones on the French cuff. Another attractive blouse has a Chinese Mandarin effect with high collar, and chopped-off sleeves and an open front ._which can be fastened or not with little button-bows. The reigning Migo has brought forth another variation called “Buttoneere.” These have tiny covered buttons from the very bottom of the blouse to the tip of the collar. The manfacturer’s boast is that they can be and worn six different ways — depending on how far you button what you do with the collar. While we're on the clothes-line, we must tell you about gorgeous Angora Botany and short-sleeved and soft as a you mustn't forget and sun-proof. BUNNY BANTER We can't leave this page without a chat with the Easter bunny.

It is published by the Record-Star in the community trunk. Another is a candy rabbit — fully one foot six inches highep, interest). Then if the Easter bunny should feel so inclined, we wouldn't mind a little plastic horse pulling a cart that is just chuck full of goodies. Even more fun is a box with chocolate scissors, tennis racquet, penknife, gun and violin. Then there are oodles of big fat eggs covered with candy flowers, chocolate boys, ducks and just about everything. If the Easter bunny were suddenly rushed at the last minute and he just couldn't think of enough presents for everybody, or didn’t know where to find them, tell him to phone 16, or 1567 and we'll be glad to help him out! ~ CARSTEN GLAHN OPTOMETRIST 163 Colborne St. OPTICIAN Telephone 1375 OAKVILLE Office Hours Daily 9:30 to 5:00 Saturday 9:30 to 12 Evenings Mon., Thurs. 7:00 to 8:00 or by appointment L Oakville, Ont. 28th March, 1950 To: Importers, Merchants and Citizens of Oakville and surrounding area. The lack of Customs facilities has caused much inconvenience to the conduct of business in Oak- ville. As this means costly and em- barrassing delays for industry the Industries Council is petitioning the Department of National Rev- enue to provide Customs facilit- ies so that import shipments may come straight to Oakville and be cleared without “confusion and delay. If we show the Department pos- itive difficulties this area is la- bouring under for lack of Customs facilities we feel confident it will re-establish our facilities. Our pet- ition will tell the Department of numerous cases of confusion and long delay in clearing impggts and the consequent aatartecnnnnt caused us in conducting compet- itive business.
