Access Is Necessary For Cottage G. Simons, lands supervisor, writing in the Department of Lands and Forests New Bulletin, deals, with planned subdivisions on lakeshores. He says: A prime consideration in the suitability of any lake for cot- tage. site development is the matter of access. The lake must have public access, either by road, water or railroad. If a portage is necessary to reach the lake it is not considered accessible for subdivision pur- poses. When a lake has been examined and found to be suitable, the following steps are taken before lots are offered for e. 1. Suitable land is reserved for public use, access and parking. 2. The shoreline is defined by a chain and compass traverse and a preliminary sub-division plan is drawn up by the field staff. 3. The proposed sub-division must then be examined from the standpoint of public sanitation and approved by the Depart- ment of Health officials. 4. The preliminary plan is forwarded te the Surveys Branch of the Department of Lands and Forests in Toronto, where it is checked and altered, if necessary, before being pas- sed to an Ontario Land Surveyor for final survey. 5. When the final survey is completed, the plan is checked and approved by the various branches of government con- cerned, and is then registered in the local Registry Ortice. Lots are then offered for sale through the field offices of the Department of Lands and For- ests on a "first come, first served" basis. Interested pur- chasers may secure a copy of the registered plan, select a lot and make application to pur- chase through the nearest Lands Car Crashes Into House Driver Hurt Umberto De Lauretis, 39, 179 Celina street, was admitted to Oshawa General Hospital early today after his car went out of; control and crashed into the front of a house on Albert street.

Gallery Shows View Of Arctic LONDON (CP)--Four years ago. a London art dealer, Charles Gimpel, ventured into Canada's eastern Arctic on a photographic survey for the Hudson's Bay Company. His commission gave him the chance to explore Eskimo cul- ture and the fruits of that ex- pedition now are on show at the pag Fils Gallery in May- air. Dramatically set against background photograp*s of the arctic landscape and people, the Eskimo sculptures and ex- amples of graphic art are hailed by the art critic of The Times as "of exceptional in- terest in showing the nature A a and fine quality of work being produced in the eastern Arctic." Singled out for special men- tion is .a set of small soap- stone carvings, done under. the guidance 'of a white artist, Jim Houston, with the backing of Canada's edepartment of north- ern affairs. Houston* taught the Eskimos a new technique of stone-cutting from which prints could be taken, but made no attempt to divert their vigorously primi- tive view of the world into more sophisticated channels. The result, says The 'Times critic, successfully escapes any "souvenir" taint, while the keenly observed animal carv- ings, with their wry touch of humor and sense of form, "'sug- gest the presence in this Mongo- loid race of something of the Oriental genius." U.S. Traffic Dead Total Reaches 524 CHICAGO (AP) -- Traffic deaths in the United States dur- ing the Christmas holiday to- talled 524, the highest toll for a three - day Christmas period since 1955.
