The. Bidd.ulph Community Cen-
tre, a project planned to look
after the recreation needs of
both young and old, ''the year
round," will be officially opened
in a ribbon-eutting ceremony
Feb. 13 at 8 p.m.
The centre, built around the
old Granton arena, represents
the efforts of scores of residents
who donated time and money to
build a place where ice skating,
hockey, roller skating, ice car-
nivals and other events east be
held
Original Built in 1928
The original arena was erected
in 1928 by a group of share-
holders in the district but has
been unused for the past 10
years.
Early last summer, township
council took over the job of ren-
ovating the old structure and
citizens in the area offered their
services, use of trucks, tractors
and other equipment.
Two coats of aluminum paint
were sprayed on the exterior.
About 250 yards of gravel were
spread on the inside floor and
an asphalt surface laid.
A new lighting system was in-
stalled, dressing rooms were ren -
riveted and other improvements
made. All in all, about $3,000
was spent.
William A. Stewart, :FILA for
Middlesex North, will cut the
ribbon and perform the official
opening ceremonies. An ice car-
nival will follow. Costume and
door prizes will be offered.
Directors of the centre include

About 60 per cent of capital
expenditure is devoted to im-
provement and extension of regu-
ular roads apart from arteries

explained.
President Barry Wenger, in his
report to the association, said
weekly newspapers are being re-
vitalized by the strong competi-
tion they face.
"With the application of in-
telligence and imagination on the.
part of management:, the rural
s • is i1andwill continue
weekly still c
to be the one medium in our
land which is thoroughly digest.
ed in every detail," he said.
"And most certainly the weekly
newspaper is the only publica-
tion of any kind into which the
character, reputation and truth-
fulness of the publisher is pro-
jected in a personal, neighbour -
to -neighbour fashion."
Maintaining that no daily news-
paper no magazine, radio or
TV station is read or listened to
with the faith and credence to
which the majority of weekly
newspapers are accustomed, Mr.
Wenger slated: "Our journals
have tremendous influence on
the course of history inthis

for an editor to face."
