Many nights after dark, and long after bedtime ;for some of us, figures can be spotted in the moonlight, gliding across the ice in the centre of the square. It has been a wonderful community project by the firemen and certainly takes a lot of us back to our childhood in Bayfield• when there were no modern arenas.

CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY, JANUARY 26;1978,4bAGE 11 Hensall Council learns Weath6r hurts arena construction Bad weather continues to plague construction work on the new Hensall arena, but Reeve Harold Knight told council last week the building should still be open on schedule. Reeve Knight said original plans called for work to cease for a month in March until weather warmed enough to allow concrete work to begin. But he said he was hopeful work would continue through March, bringing construction back -on schedule. Councillor Harry Klungel said donations to the building fund are coming along well, and noted that the majority of the fund raising committee are confident the $175,000 goal will be reached. A cheque for $22,487.50 has been received from . the Ministry of Culture and Recreation for capital con- struction, on the building, clerk Betty Oke told council. The balance of the govern- ments support for the project is to be paid once the building is completed. However Reeve Knight - said there was a chance further funding could come from the Ministry before completion. In other business, a report of .the fire committee, in- cluding a projected budget of $10,790 for fire protection was approved by council. Tenders for the new village fire hall were called this week. Tenders, which are due February 13, will be opened at council's February meeting. Baptist church By Sandra Talbot The Keen -Age.
