Lake Simcoe Ice Fishing Profitable Weekend
Ice fishermen enjoyed a cold but profitable time on Lake Simcoe over the weekend. District high school teachers meet in Brampton on Friday while pupils celebrate a holiday at home and guides attend school in uniform on Baden-Powell's birthday. Snowplows clear driveways, cottage owners shovel roofs, and students rehearse an operetta as communities cope with heavy snow. Astronaut John Glenn's orbit flight captures attention with live updates as homes still show Christmas lights amid postholiday reflections.

Halton County Health Unit Budget Presented at Council Meeting
Dr Archie F Bull reported at the Halton County Council budget session that the health unit's 1962 budget totals 275200 with the county share 127600 and provincial grants and fees making up the balance. He noted no human rabies cases in 1961 and a decline in tuberculosis deaths over 60 years though new tuberculosis cases continue to be found. The unit lacks a fulltime psychiatrist and the 10000 allocated previously was unused. The 1962 county grant would require a mill rate increase due to higher county assessment.
