He was the last re- maining member of the family of the Edward Drakes of Staffa. The late Mr. Drake moved to Manitoba in, 1909 and had lived in the town of Hair:iota since 1946-- formerly he had farmed in the McConnell area.

Hicks of Corl-Dign Ltd. Waterloo, who addressed the public meeting on • the future of the arena. "Your arena may be alright the way it stands, but the minute you start enlarging it, present day ' safety regulations will be enforced and this arena will not meet them." Mr. Hicks said. He pointed out that the- large arena timbers were adequate but that the joists were ,too far apart and that the roof sheeting evould have to be 2" deck to Mr. Hicks, whose company h meet present day regulations. as built pre-cast steel re- creation buildings all over Ontario, attended the meeting on the invitation of the arena committee after acting Chair- Man Herb Stretton, and Frank McCutcheon toured a Con-Dign built arena in Burford and were impressed with its practical and economic design. Mr. Hicks said a duplication of the Burford arena , which was built in 1970, would today cost approximately $325,000. This amount would provide a total of 80 h.p. in compressor for an ice surface of 180' x 80' for about seven months a year, in a build- ing with pre-cast steel roof and sides and concrete block walls about 8 to 10' high.' The ice surface would be lighted by about 50s candles, compared to the pree • sent light of about 15 foot can- dies. A community centre or banquet hall above the ice sur- face and seating, 160 to 25(4 - (depending on cost) would also be included, along with dresiing rooms snack bar, lobby, office and maintenance rooms. These service rooms, Mr. Hicks said, could all be built across the front and along one -side of the arena with seating along the other side, to make the building easier for one man to operate. "An 80 L.P. motor does not require an engineer to operate" he said. "We can train someone." Another possibility the arena committee could consider, he added, was the use of portable steel bleachers, which could be. ".taken • out , in the' summer and moved to the ballpark" and would cost the same initially as per- • manent concrete benches. ,, Illustiating his talk' with floor plans and Photos of C on-Digh built arenas in Burford, Beaverton and ()rink, Hicks said construc- tion time was 5 months of good weather. His buildings have 1 1/2" fiberglass metal building insulation and an interior fan system which encourages air circulation inside the arena, he said, in answer to a query from Reeve Jack McCutcheon.

Today the orders send dinghy sailors away on their races; on June 6th, 1944, they sent Landing Craft Tanks to Normandy. ' • . • In our south coast town the adults hid talked of something big in the °Mee,, while we children missed the beach that had been out of bounds for some time. Little did we know of the 'concrete poured to pave the way for tanks. We discovered it all later when the tides of invasion had ebbed from our shores.Look- big at the concrete ramps built across the beach we couldn't see how our beach would ever be the same again. After D-Day the roads leading to Stokes Bay were lined with tanks. Their crews sat in the sun on banks and hedgerows and told us about life in Canada. They showed us snaps of neat bungalows backed by great open expanses of prairie. To children, who lived in red brick roivehoeses those white frame homes looked 1 rather strange and not too solid. My girl friend who lived a few hundred yards from the beach told us of their whole street holding open house for the troops. Me n enjoyed hot baths, cups of tea and a quiet yarn before moving on teethe embarkation area. A couple of miles along the coast the terrain was not suitable for military purposes and we were allowed access to the beach. From there we'd seen what ap- peared to be floating walls swing- ing at anchor in the Solent.Later we heard of the Mulberry Har- bours -- those concrete caissons that were towed across to France and sunk to form breakwaters. The mystery of the floating walls was solved. We swam at this beach, and structed, f the present arena could quite likely be sold to a .riding club, Mr. Hicks said. "They, are always looking for buildings this size. AclYprtioe in a magazine catering to the horse ' trade and you might get $1 a suciare foot or a total of $13,000. Acting chairman Herb Stretton said that •although both Morris and Grey Townships were interested in the proposed new arena, representatives from the councils did not attend the meet- ing because the townships prefer that the arena committee present a definite proposal to their councils when details about grants available and total cost was findelzed, Mr. Hicks said grants for new arenas include $10,000 per municipality for an arena and $10,000 per municipality foi•—fi community centre. He added that a Winter Works grant could, even if construction commenced lathe summer, provide a rebate 9150% of on, site labour: with labour accounting for 1/3 ot the total cost, perhaps a rebate of $45,000 could be expected, he said.

A new roof on the hospital should be completed by the end of the month, Robert Wilson, chairman of the Property com- mittee told a board meeting of the Seaforth Community Hospital Tuesday. The roof costing about $27,000, is being constructed by Smith-Peat of Exeter. Mr. Wilson said addition'al air conditioning units put in the dietary department and the laundry are working well and are appreciated especially during the present heat wave. The cosefor these units amounted to $2,100. The board approved a recom- mendation of the finance core mittee that trustee Dr.Williare Thompson act as 'secretary fee the Board on the retirement of Lloyd Hoggarth early next year. Mr. Hoggarth has been on staff at'the Hospital since 1952. Donald Bode, who has been on staff as understudy will assume the position of Purchasing Agent. for the Hospital succeeding Mr. Hoggart on his retirement. Mrs. John McLlwain was named as ex-officio member of the Management Committee. The board was told that the report of a preliminary survey for the accreditation made last June 25 had been received. Ad- ministrator Gordon McKenzie said the few deficiencies listed were minor and could be or had been eliminated already. The Board hopes to have the Hospital receive accreditation by the end, of the year. Mr. McKenzie said recent legislation provided authority for The sure way to safety is Self.Defence. ft's ha te (Continued from Page 1) Workers in some Stretford industries walked off the job because of the heat.

The overall pace of business on Main Street has slowed down as would be shoppers stay home in the 'shade with their feet up and merchants are thankful they have or wish they had air conditioning. Luckily farmers have the grain harvest completed and are not forced to work out in the hot sun all afternoon. The heat is helping the beans grow -perhaps the only good thing that can be said about a 90 plus degree week. Tim Culbert, eight-year-old son of Dr. and Mrs. C. A. Culbert of Brussels escaped with bruises and a sore elbow on Monday from what could have been a fatal accident. The mishap occerred shortly after the noon hour, when the boy failed to see an approaching car before following his mother across the main street. Fortunately the driver of• the car, N.

As fall nipped the air we took to our bikes at weekends and rode cross country, climbing the old tree by the golf course that had served as a gym for many gener- ations. One sunny Sunday our merry manoeuvres were halted at a country cross-road as a long column of military ambulances passed. It was not just the setting of the sun that dimmed our journey home that day. we had lost part of the brightness of childhood as the meaning of the slow deliberate speed of that ambulance convoy came home to us. we knew then that the price of war is paid inhuman suffering.
