Information sessions for Craig Rec Centre AILSA CRAIG - Everything any- body ever wanted to know about the Ailsa Craig Recreation Centre can be learned at an information open house at Ailsa Craig village hall June 11 between 2 and 4 p.m. Fundraising committee chairman Gerald Naumann said members of his committee, Ailsa Craig munici- pal council and area officials will be available to answer any questions about the $800,000 centre for which ground is expected to be broken next spring. "I'vc heard all sorts of rumors around the community about the centre," Haumann said. "It's obvi- ous there's a great deal of misinfor- mation out there and this is the time to set the record straight before some people start believing the ru- mors." Ailsa Craig Reeve Don Shipway told the fund raising committee one of the most persistent rumors he has heard is that once built there will be no funds available to oper-' ate the facility which is expected to lose money in diminishing amounts during the first few years of its operation. "A substantial operating budget already exists within the financial framework of the Municipality of Ailsa Craig, the reeve said. "We knew a recreation centre won't make a profit from day one, and if it never shows a cash profit on paper, we have that eventually bud- geted for." "The important thing now is to get the fund raising machinery in operation." Reeve Shipway said considerable amounts of money al- ready have been pledged and an an- nouncement will soon be made about the status of the building fund. One means of raising money for the centre will be by the sale of bricks. Bricks will go on sale this week and the names of the buyers will be painted on a giant billboard to be erected this week in front of the Ailsa Craig village hall. Different colors will indicate dif- ferent amounts paid for each brick. As c ch billboard is filled with nam of donors, it will be replaced by a new one. When therecreation centre is completetl, the billboards will form a permanent wall inside the centre which is for the use of the people of Ailsa Craig, East Williams and McGillivray Town- ships. The purchase of bricks is tax-deductible • Granton by Muriel Lewis GRANTON - Betty Anne Waugh, Lois Herbert and Rod Johnston, all of London spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Hodgins.

They helped build cement sidewalk and cement. block walls for a school, and a kitchen addition to parsonage. While there, their kitchen was very primitive in a tent. With no cement mixer, the mortar and ce- ment was mixed by hand. Boys car- ried cement blocks on their heads to the site. Mr. and Mrs. Porter are sponsor- ing a Haitian girl, while Mr. and Mrs. Dance are sponsoring a little boy there. A brush arbor is the church there. If a driver runs over a Haitian he .pays $15.00 and goes free. If he runs over a goat he pays $50.00. Travelling many miles one Sunday, they witnessed a combined church baptismal service in a river. Each man had to raise his own finances to go to Haiti of $1200.00. Miss Karen Dance gave her talk at her school of her fatlfr Keith Dance going to Haiti. Keith Dance reviewed some projects needed to be built in Haiti, and/cost to do so. A church and land Would cost $5000.
