The town council has sent out
a letter to each of the business
men 'on main street, asking that
When they sweep their sidewalks
the accumulated refuse be gathered
up and disposed of on their been
premises rather than being swept
onto the street. There is good
reason for the request, for the

his is the season for visits and

that the A-T personal column has
grown. considerably during the past
year—result of an active campaign
to secure these items for the paper,
In this age of tieing costs many
local papers have been discourag-
ing personal items, However, we
still think they are among the
many good reasons why your home-
town paper remains so popular and
we try to get every bit of news

One of the main drag's older
structures, the Merkley Motors
building on the corner of Josephine
and Victoria will soon disappear
from the local scene. The new
Texaco station has already been

of the old building and when
ti original structure is removed
the appearance of the corner 'will
be vastly changed.

It is most strongly advised that
all persons under the age of 40
ohtiuld take the tuberculin test,
which is merely a light injection
under the skin. The great majority
of persons will have no reaction
whatever. In "positive" cases
there la a light reddening of the
skin. For this reason the person
so tested is asked to return to the
'clinic after the test has been made
to ihave the results "read",
it is :advised that those over 40
years Of age have an x-ray exam-

also provide a check on some heart

It is only through the full co-
operation of the public in sub-

is kept under control and a very
high percentage of safety is afford-

In her remarks Mrs. Money point
ed out that 19 girls of the origins
class of 23 had completed the
course, which she said is difficult
and demanding. The ones who

that 13 of the graduates intended
to stay on at the hospital as mem-
bers of the staff.

nevious ten months had not beer
:-asy, but they had been enjoyable,
rime graduate said that the class

The Winghsten-Turpherry Plan-
ning Board, which. wee Vorme4 tut
month, held a special meeting on
Monday evening of this week -to
hear Howard Smith, of Kitchener,
planning consultant, who pointed.
out what the new boerd could cla
and. various methods of procedure,
The meeting was a' somewhat in-
formal session with the members
questioning the visitor .on various
aspects of town planning.
Mr. Smith suggested that the
first problem would be relative to
subdivision control. He said that
if the munleipalitiee were placed
under area subdivision control by-
laws the board 'would then, have
control over any 'urban sprawl
that might occur he the foture, ale
was questioned closely. by -merl:-
bers on this . point, ae • some felt •
that by placing 'the municipalities
ander this type of by-law the pro.
;ended dePartment of olannitig
end deitelopment would become in-
volved.
The consultant pointed out that .-
such was not the case; and that
under this type of by law it
would give -the board the one nree
only place where it could eXerciee
any power or authority. He said
that under an . area subdivision
control by-law the planning board
,would rule on all cases of lot. sales
under 10 acres, and would in this
vay prevent future conditions. that -
would, in general, be uosatisfeee
tory to the community es a whole,
He cited several cases where de-
velopment had gone ahead . with-
eut proper planning. arid the rogrete ..
cipalities question . had • heiste .
;aced with, large eerepeoetituana''for'
health problems.
The group also - found that build-
ing codes only govern the type ..of
construction going into buildings,
while zoning by-laws are required
to control the use of land. As a re-
sult the new board found that if
the respective councils desired,
they could do a study on almost
any municipal problem, .but zon-
ing, building codes and. the ad-
ministration of an area control
by-law would probably be the para-
mount featutes of any program at
the moment,
