A further suggestion that
the Wintario draw be
replaced by a hospital lottery
was not greked with en-

the fact that lotteries are too
big a gamble to be per-

Mailboxes relocated.
The Vanastra Community
Association regrets the in-
convenience caused by the
relocation of the mailboxes
formerly situated on the
empty site near Conestoga
College.
The present owner of the
property, through its agent. a
resident of Vanastra, advised
that the location of these
boxes were an inconvenience
to him and requested their
relocation. There is some
doubt as to whether they were
in fact on property other than
that of Townships, and as
soon as the site has been
resurveyed these mailboxes
will be returned to Township
property at the same location
and properly cemented into a
permanent location.
