The reprieve may be tem- porary, but agreement was reached with the CNR by Trans- port Minister Balcer to with- draw the application until an- other assessment can be made. Lyceum THEATRE WINGHAM, ONTARIO Two Shows Each Night Commencing at 7.15 p.m. ADMISSION - 65c, 45c, 30c FRL, SAT. FEB. 15, 16 "HATARI" With JOHN WAYNE and RED BUTTONS. This is a thundering thriller having almost everything in it. It all deals with a game farm known the world over to keep- ers of Zoos. The six members who met with Mr. Balcer were health Minister J, W. Monteith (Perth); Elston Cardiff, (Huron); Eric Winkler,(Grey-Bruce); Marvin Howe, (Wellington -Huron); Percy Noble, (Grey North); Andrew Robinson, (Bruce); and Andrew Hales,(Wellington South). The move followed con- siderable opposition from com- munities which would be effect- ed ffected on the lines between Guelph and Owen Sound, Palmerston and Southampton and between Stratford and Kincardine. Rail officials had held a series of meetings with repre- sentatives from many of the towns involved during the past several weeks to explain the reasons why the rail company was applying to have passenger service concluded. Many of the municipalities felt the rnove was a step back- ward and would not be in the best interests of the area. The CNR, in a letter to the board of transport commissioners, stated the company was with- drawing its application for can- cellation of passenger runspend- ing a new and thorough review of the situation.
