Lions make rink As most of the children already know, the Lions Club have built an ice rink behind the Recreation Centre. The rink is open to all kids and adults from the com- munity. There are a few rules that must be applied. to ensure safety on the ice. Hockey will not be allowed on the ice after dark because of. the danger with sticks and pucks. Times have been set for hockey on the ice, these being Monday, Wednesday and Friday up until dark and Saturday up until 2 p.m. The rest of the time the rink will be used only for general skating. The Lions Club hopes the rink will be enjoyed by all.

The agenda consisted of trying to_ set up a committee to work with our group committee which consists of Glen Smith and Clem Goulding. Due to the lack of response, the actual committee could not be formed. We then proceed$d to discuss events the four groups are planning for the future, the first topic being a co-ed camp out for Guides and Scouts. With a lot of work and planning both group committees and leaders feel that this camp can be a success. A trip to the Ice Capades in London is in the planning for March. This will be the four groups together, a good showing from Vanastra. A discussion on fund raisers followed with the proposing of a pop bottle drive for April or May. The other ideas proposed are being looked into for use by all groups. TheGuiders asked for people" 'W116 • "have a knowledge of neodtework to help with badge' work for their girls.

Scouts On Saturday January 20, the Scout troop had an outing in the bush across the county road from Vanastra. The eight boys, two leaders and one group of IT'S COMING SROM Monsanto committee members left the Scoutmaster's home shortly after 10 a.m. They learned how to light a fire in winter conditions. This proved to be quite a chore because of the wet weather the night before. When the fire was going strong, each boy cooked his dinner. This generally consisted of a potato wrapped in tin foil, a piece of solid meat such as a pork chop, and a tinned vegetable. Most of the meals turned out alright but as usual there were a few burnt of- ferings. . They returned wet and tired by 3:30 p.m. and all seemed to have enjoyed their day in the bush. Area personal notes By Maureen Dunsmore Mr. and Mrs. Howie Langan have returned home from their stay in Europe.

Listowel sets heating law The Listowel Banner reported that town council approved a bylaw recently, stating :that suitable and adequate heat must be supplied to all rental ac- commodation. The heat is to be kept at a minimum of 70 degrees F. year round. The bylaw was created because the town had received many com- plaints regarding low temperatures in rental buildings. The penalty for not supplying adequate and suitable heat for rental accommodation is a fine of not less than $50 and not more than $300. Anyone who is suf- fering from low heat in their living quarters is asked to contact the local health unit. A medical officer will then make an, inspection of the premise.
