SMALL MISTAKES NOW CAN, BLIGHT AREAS, Any community to benefit •. from planning must ensure diet a plan to be successful be the result of careful wofking and thinking on the part of. a great many citizens, warned Don- ald B. Strudley, Stratford, as he dis- cussed at a meeting of the. Lions Club Mot1day evening, •"How a Planned Community Can Benefit Its Citizens." Mr. Strudley, who is chairman of the Stratford and District Planning Board,' told the meeting of the 'steps taken by Stratford leading up to the preparation of the plan andhe bene- fits which already had accrued as a result. The planning done by Strat- ford was directly 'responsible for the erection of 108 houses by Housing Enterprise, he said. Mr. Strudley pointed out that un- der existing legislation administered by the' Department of Planning and Development, any community can participate. There is no cost involv- ed in the initial or preparatory stag- es' and the cost in tho.later stages de- pends entirely upon the extent to which `the municipality wishes to par- ticipate. Stemming from a proper plan a by- law zoning areas of the community restricting each area to a specific use may be' adopted. This ensures that residential areas are continued- as such," and that sub -standard areas where the provision of services are particularly costly,or that in other respects are • undesirable, are not built up. It also ensures adequate areas for recreation. . Describing the machinery available for the- establishment of a board, the speaker said all that was necessary was a desire on the part of the citi- zens to plan now for the future. Initiating action is taken by the coun- cil who appoints a .'board, and re- quests the departmentto designate an area. If !neighboring municipalities are affected, these are consulted, be said. ,.

Henderson ex- pressed the club's appreciation._ Attention of members was drawn to the Lions Hallowe'en frolic Friday evening by Lions W, T. Teall, general chairman, and Lion G..A.

Ontario Government Intro- duces Legislation To Clear Up Confusion. • Huron. and Petah Counties, two of three areas . still, under the Canada Temperance Act, are affected In an. important amendeeent to the- Liquor License Act, proposed in. the Ontario Legislature. on Friday by Hon. Leslie Blackwell, Attorney -General. In the past, there has been confu- sion as to the enforcement of liquor laws in areas Where the Canada' Tem- perance emperance Act, ' a federal statute,' is in operation. Under the suggested change, the government will make no effort to enforce'' the provincial law, leaving the areas 'under the Temper- ance Act. As explained by Mr. Blackwell, the following will resell: "Repeal of the Cadada Temperance Act in an area which, at one time was wet, will en- able the Liquor Control Board to establish stores fer the Bali of beer, wine and liquor.' However, before beverage roams and lounges will be permitted, a 'second vote must be taken in addition to the vote that re- pealed the C.T.A. The amendment also states that where an area has always been "dry" repeal of the . C.T.A. will not I auto- maticaily give that area the sale of spirits, either publicly or for ,horse consumption. A second vote under the Liquor License Act must be held, and it the result is in the affirmative, the sale will then be permitted. • • C:W.L. , SPONSORS• ANNUAL SOCIAL Children Present Program;.
