Mrs. Lymburner carried with her and presented $4,000 in 'pennies for friendship' from the Instie tutes of Ontario to the Institutes of Australia who were so ape preciative. She was introdeced by Mrs. Harold Wolper and thanked by Mrs. Harold Taylor. In proposing a toast to South Huron district WI at the banquet Miss Helen McKercher, direc- tor of the home economics ser- vice, Department of Agricul- ture, Toronto, said "The WI aims and interests of 60 years ago are still the same today. While the farm women are not so isolated as then, they still like to get together and do things together; they still study homemaking; they still ask for courses to develop leadership and they still do community work although the community has broadened to include the world." Mrs. Arthur Rundle. replied to this toast. Mrs. W.D. Mack, Crediton, FWIO historical research con- vener, gave a resume of the history of South Huron WI which will appear elsewhere. Mrs. Mack said in reviewing the his- tory "I am amazed at what was accomplished and if there had been as many push buttons then as there are today, they would have worked miracles." —please turn to page 12 Approval has been received by Group Captain L.H. Randall, commanding officer of RCAF Station Centralia, for the con- struction of a winter sports arena at the station. Construction will commence in early spring, to be in use by November 1963. The buil- ding will be of similar con- struction to the RCAF Clinton arena. The addition of several hun- dred young trainees to the train- ing load of the station has made it necessary to expand recreation facilities. The extra officer trainees and their re- quired training program, as well as recreational hockey, applies the rules of common sense to each situation."

Transportation of this number of personnel to and from facilities would be im- practical. This arena will increase the local area's hockey, broom- ball and skating facilities and should assist with local com- munity winter sports programs. The arena, as approved, will be built entirely from non- public funds or in other words from the airmen's ownpockets. The project has been financed so as to be paid for in the next five years from the funds or profits from all messes and institutes on the station. No government funds are available for this type of undertaking. Commenting on the station's use of Exeter arena in past years, Group Captain Randall said: "The town of Exeter is to be commended on their past co-operation and assistance. A winter recreational program for youngsters on the air base would have been almost impos- sible without their kind consi- deration. The station personnel have expressed no dissatisfac- tion with past arrangements at the Exeter arena. However, the number of skaters and hockey players now on the unit make satisfactory arrangements im- possible. It is to be hoped that it will give a boost to all winter sports activities in the area," Hensall mothers march for $212 A canvass of the village of Hensall by 26 volunteer mothers for the March of Dimes cam- paign realized $212 Tuesday.

No hard and fast policy has been set by the Liquor Licence Board of Ontario in regard to the establishment of outlets in "wet" communities, The Times-Advocate has been in- formed. The board, according to one of its officials, "exercises its discretionary powers" over the number and type of licences which it issues in any munici- pality where outlets have been approved by the electorate. The information came in res- ponse to a T-A enquiry In con- nection with the forthcoming vote here February 11 on beverage room, dining and cocktail lounge licences. The newspaper requested an outline of the board's policy to en- lighten voters about the con- ditions which could prevail if a "yes" vote won. The registrar of the board Hugh J. Browne, revealed there is no established policy affec- ting the issuance of licences in municipalities of any par- ticular size. "We have no hard and fast policy in regard to the type or number of licences the board may issue," he said.

The group felt the establish- ment of liquor outlets here would increase trade, provide more employment, result in increased assessment for the town, and attract more tourist and commercial traffic to the area. The corporationsuggested that, while there are excellent restaurants here, the commu- nity would benefit from dining facilities which could be pro- vided as a result of the approval of dining lounge licence. (A statement by the corpora- tion appears as a "Guest opin- ion" this week on page 2.) President Ross Tuckey said the corporation plans to arrange a meeting with the executives of the businessmen's association and planning board to study the parking situation in the com- munity.
