Under ruling by the Department of Planning and Develop­ ment, certain areas adjacent to the town cannot be broken up into lots Without permission of the department. Council decided to write the de­ partment to see wnat action could be taken to permit the sale of one lot, if that was agreeable to the depart­ ment. New Plan For Lanes A new plan for the lanes of town was discussed, under which merchants would donate land forta 15-foot right of way west of Josephine Street be­ tween John and Victoria, Under the proposed plan the town would grade the laneway and plow it in the winter. Police Chief Bert Platt said that such a plan would relieve parking problems on the main street by pro­ viding delivery facilities at the rear, and other members of the council thought that it would alleviate the fire danger to some extent by pro­ viding access for the fire department, i It was decided that the whole matter I would' be thoroughly looked into be­ fore any decision is made.

Buchanan continued the service, introducing the speaker, Mr. Charles Cunningham, of the Listowel Presbyterian Church. Mr. Cunningham spoke from the text found in the second chapter of Luke verse 40. He stated that Luke, as a physician, was probably more inter­ ested in the boyhood of Jesus and gives us the clearest story of his growth and development. He felt that as great as the country’s resources are, her true riches lie in her girls and boys. The responsibility of teachers and parents cultivating the right things and the tender years of growth was stressed. The church was filled to capacity and many visitors called during the afternoon to admire the decorations which were a work of art, created by the efforts of the Sunday School teachers and several volunteer helpers. 0festival AIRPLANE BAGGAGE I lb ms ■ HI |K< 1®^: •<zj * Typical of our many smart buys, this ’'Festival” set offers big value!
