Last week, the 1978

received generous
donations from both the
Clinton Branch of the
Royal Bank of Canada
and the Clinton Lions
Club, enabling them to
clean the slates for the
past year's operations.
Though the season has
long ended, the players
and management feel
that a kind word and a big

these two organizations

other local teams.
We ,hope that such
relations can continue for
many years to come.
