Our goof In an article in last week’s Citizen regarding the Celebra­ tion *88 certificates to honour community athletes and volun­ teers it was stated that up to 50 certificates can be given out. It should have read that up to one certificate for every 50 people of the municipalities population can be given out. In a report from Huron County Council it was stated that county councillors were to receive a car allowance of $80 per month plus 20 cents per kilometer. It is not county councillors but county em­ ployees required to have a car, who receive the car allowance. We regret these erros and any embarrassment these may have caused.
