During the summer, it was our

attended that evening at South

Your readers may be interested
that • our little project is called
"Operation Grey Ox!", after the
-first school I attended, located at
the intersection of the Gravel Road
and the fourth of Kinloss.
When the. Grey Ox School was
closed many years ago, I believe
one or two persons wrote poems
that were, printed in. The Sentinel.
The poems, as I recall, expressed
the thought that the spirit of the
Grey. Ox would never pass away.
Well, the "Grey Ox" is alive and
well - in the Caribbean, of all,
places!
Sincerely,
Graham MacDonald.

Construction has begun on the
,new Blyth and District Community
Centre and Arena.
The firm of Tri-Dign Construc-
tion of Guelph has begun laying
footings for the new building.. The'
company was awarded the contract
for the $368,000 arena and
auditorium. Work began the day
after on compacting fill around the •
site to ready it for construction.
The company has promised the
shell of the building will be
completed in • November to allow
the installation of ice for the winter
season.. It has 'scheduled comple-
tion of the building for the end of
November.
and perhaps hundreds to follow.
The decision to close Blyth's old
arena came 'in June following the,
engineer's report that the old ,
building was unsafe and virtually
beyond repair. A public meeting
was quickly held and the unanim-
ous decision at the time was to'
demolish the old arena and , start
out to build a new one. A building
committee and a fund raising
committee were quickly formed
and with the , aid of Amish.
Workmen, the old .arena was
levelle&within four, weeks of the
closure decision. A salvage.auction
of materials from the old arena was
held July 24 to raise money for the
new building.
Fund raising has gone amazingly
well with the help of a few, large
donation's from area businesses
and many many personal dona-
tions., The fund reached $75,000
mark last week and it was decided
to go, ahead with signing the
contract. •IFund raisers point out,
howevery that in Many ways the
hardest part is yet to come before
the target of .$168,000 from local
sources can be met. There will be -
no public funds used to build.the
new, facility so full support is
needed from „ 'the conlmunity to
make it possible.
