Lake Ontario region was in the northern edge of this area of snowfall and less than an inch was reported. As the second low moves eastward off the coast, the light snow will end over most of south- ern Ontario today. However skies will be mainly cloudy today and scattered snowflurries will persist. The flurries will be heaviest and most frequent in areas where northerly winds are offlake. Regional forecasts valid until midnight Saturday: Asks Control Subdivisions An investigation into the legality of imposing more control on sub- division of land in Oshawa was last night recommended by N.C. Millman, retiring chairman of the Oshawa Planning Board. Mr, Millman said the rate at which land is now being sub-divid- is causing concern among civic authorities. This recommendation was made by Mr. Millman in his lengthy re- port presented to the inaugural raeeting of the board for 1956. Chairman of the board for nine years, Mr, Millman last night hand- ed over the chairmanship to C. C. McGibbon. Expanding on the need for more sub-division control, Mr. Millman said: "In some instances sub-divi- sion is desirable because of loca- tion and need. But in other cases the exact opposite is true. RIGID PATTERN "Certainly it does not seem too wise to tie up all our vacant land in the city into a i pattern as would be represented by registered sub-divisions. We should retain "We now have many lots on re- gistered sub-divisions of appreci- able size which have not yet been built upon. Just what means of control we have is something which should be fully investigat- ed," urged Mr. Millman. More financial impositions on the sub-divider could put building costs and increase building outside the city boundaries. ID PLAN "It would seem that the ideal method would be to be able to say that we will restrict ourselves to a certain ratio between the sub- divided vacant land and the cur- rent building program," Mr. Mill man suggested. "If our building program result- ed in the contruction of 600 homes, then 1800 lots would give us three year's supply. "We have received assurance from the Department of Planning ard Development that they will support us in our endeavour to prevent an unreasonable surplus of sub-divided land and consider that we are correct in being con- } | meeting was that Chairman Appointed flexibility for the future. cerned in this matter." Parking on Centre street was discussed at a meeting of the Osh- awa Traffic Advisory Council this week. No change in the present parking status was recommended, but further consideration will be given to the problem. The meeting was told that Cen- tre stret is making a valuable contribution towards alleviating the traffic congestion on Simcoe street. More traffic space on Centre street would attract traffic from Simcoe street, it was claimed.

OBITUARIES FUNERAL OF WILFRED LOVETT The memorial service for Wil: fred Lovett, who died suddenly in Toronto on Tuesday, January 17, was held at the Armstrong Funeral Chapel at 1 p.m. on Thursday. Rev. M. A. Bury, minister of King Street United Church, con-| ducted the services. Interment was in Riverside Cemetery, Lindsay. The pallbearers were Clifford Staples, Bryce Brown, - Edmond Jeffs, Orland Orr, Stanley Myers and Murray Greentree. Safety Plans plaints that traffic was moving |down Centre street too fast. Im- position of "No Parking" would Discuss Parking On Centre Street probably increase the speed fac- tor, it was countered. During discussion of a petition from business houses near the Memorial Park requesting more street parking space, it was stat- ed that council planned to widen Centre street. Council was told that Metcalfe street would eventually be meter- ed and provision of more parking in John street would be economi- cally unsound. A suggestion by Ald. A. Walker that angle parking could be pro- ided in John street received little favor with the advisory council, because it would be costly and dangerous to school children. Compares Actor +} To Alec Guinness * MEDICINE HAT, Alta. (CP)-- Edmonton actor Walter Kaasa was compared to British actor Alec Guinness after his performance in the title role of 'Mr. Arcularis" presented Thursday at the Alberta drama festival by the University of berta Alumni Studio A. "The pathos, poetry, dramatic quality that Walter Kaasa achieved as Mr. Arcularis reminded me very much of Alec Guinness," adjudicator Pamela Stirling said. "So much depended on his per- formance and he didn't let anyone down. "I could talk about his perform- ance all night," she continued. Miss Stirling also had words of praise for director Don Pimm for his "imaginative production." Miss Stirling said Marvel Telfer's portrayal of nurse Mrs. Merrick, was "horribly funny." Horse's Death Is Mourned MEDICINE HAT, Alta. (CP)-- Stout-hearted Snake, a 25-year-old horse, is dead and his passing is mourned by many in the Wisdom distri§t, 27 miles south of Medicine Hat. Owner Andrew Heidinger said the Meath of Snake during a fierce blizzard that struck the district céme as a shock to him and his family. "For the last 10 veare he hac been making a five-mile-a-day round trip between my farm and the school where my children at- tend," Mr. Heidinger said. "I let him out to water and instead of watering he went to school.

The Oshawa Traffic Advisory Council this week recommended its use by city council. A report on the paint was presented to council | and it was claimed that it would last three or four years. Paint now used for traific mark- ings and street crossings in Osh- awa lasts only a year, and consid- crably less in heavily trafficed areas. Test strips of the paint had been successful in other centres, the council was told, and it had been used a great deal in Toronto. The paint is put down by the school.

Such things happened recently in the choking yellow London smog--an evil smelling mixture of fog, sulphur fumes and smoke which blacks out the city for days on end in the winter. Medical men are worried about its effect on health, but the aver- age Londoner knows how to make the best of it. A new cult--the smog story--has found favor. And the more embarrassing the inci- dent, the bigger the laugh. The tabloid Daily Mirror invited readers to share their smog stor- ies. These are some of the letters that flooded in.

"We have an active foundry council which has been seeking for some years now the enactment of foundry regulations," he ex- plained. "We think safety and working conditions in foundries should be thoroughly controlled in the interest of the health and wel- fare of the employees." Mr. Sefton announced he has named M. J.
