Right now there seems 'to be a rash of constrttctien. going on Probably' the biggest landmark change is the forthcoming evacuation of The Royal Bank' of Canada from its old domain on the main corner to its brand new building located on Victoria Street between Wesley -Willis United Church and Charles' Beauty Salon. The grand opening is scheduled for Thursday, September 25 -at--1-1-:•30---al-m-.---Ho waver-, the staff will be open for business in the new premises. on Monday, September 22 at 10 a.m. Customers at the Sank - of Montreal have had an on-going look at the complete up -dating of the bank's interior. Every day there has been a • change and at yester- day's visit to this monetary emporium the whole inside front had been tranformed with the array of teller's wickets forming a graceful curve around the main_ foyer. More on these changes as they progress-. Right now construction is going on - at Corrie's Red and . White on Huron Street and .at, ;lnzig's IGA on .Mary treet - additions are bei g made to both buildings. The house between the Red and White and the Royal,. Bank Building has been dem olished to m ake room for Corrie's expansion and the old service station on the corner of Mary and King Streets formerly occupied by Clinton Auto Parts has likewise disappeared to allow for Kuenzig's IGA addition.

Of all the members of the plant world, those that eat flesh have a'ways been considered the most mysterious. Their ability to attract and trap animals has been a source of fascination for years. There are over 450 flesh -eating plants in the world. Despite vicious rumors, not a single one of these 450, will devour a person. The most common carnivorous plant is the Venus Fly Trap which catches insects with its leaves. 'Although it traps a wide variety of insects its main source of food is ants, not flies. Two leaves of a Venus Fly trap form a cup. Each side of the cup has bristles. When an Insect, attracted by the sweet smeU of the liquid inside the cup, lands on a leaf, it cannot help but touch these bristles. The two sides of the leaf snap shut and lock the insect inside the cup with no means of escape. Once the trap is closed it fills up with liquid and the insect drowns. The insect slowly gets digested by the plant. When the plant has used as much of the insect as it wants the trap opens and the insect's skeleton -gets -swept -away -by -the -wind. Most carnivorous plants live in bogs and marshes. The • plants are becoming scarce as their natural homes are bulldozed over for new housing developments. It is fun to hunt for these fascinating plants and watch them eat, but because they are becoming rare, it is better to leave them where they are. The flesh -eating plants easiest to grow are found at a florists. These plants have been cultivated in nurseries so if you buy them you will not be threatening theirwild existence. If you decide to raise carnivorous plants feeding them will be simple. They should be happy with the insects around your home. These plants can live without any insects for quite awhile, but they will become weak and unhealthy. A starving carnivorous plant will appreciate a tiny piece of hamburger or cooked egg white dropped into Its trap. They don't have to be fed very often — once every six weeks should be enough. Besides eating meat, carnivorous plants need plenty of sunshine, humidity, and water. Carnivorous plants are fun to grow and observe. They are great to have around the house, especially if you are sick of swatting mosquitoes. No matter how large these plants get they won't eat you.

Summer tourists hit Kincardine KINCARDINE - Kin- cardine has enjoyed a slight boom in its tourism industry this summer. - The Old Boys and Old Girls Reunion, held the first weekend in August, is responsible for much of that boom. Since the end of June until recently, 2,692 people had passed through Kincardine's tourist information booth. The majority of these people came during the reunion and for the two weeks leading up to it and one week following it. It was estimated that roughly 30 per cent of the , tourists visiting the in- formation booth this summer were American, mostly from Michigan. • BEAVERS NEWS...by Mary Freeman BEAVERS: Just getting underway for a great. season - news next week...

Recently producer - director Robert Gibbons and playwright -author Ray Fazakas Were at the graveyard .9f the church south of Lueap' 'doing some on -location sooting of the documentary drama, The Donnelly's of Biddulph. Mr. Fazakas, a Hamilton area lawyer who has spent much of his life researching the mid- 1800's-fam ily, said this production, which is scheduled to be telecast in February. This will coincide with the 101st anniversary of the raid by Biddulph Township vigilantes on the Don- nelly farm. The story will be as accurate as possible and will be brought to the screen through a dialogue between Will Donnelly and Father Connolly, portrayed by Sean Sullivan, years af- terwards and a series of flashbacks. A total of 60 actors will be tpking part in the production. The churchyard is the only location in the Lucan area which is being used because according to Mr. Fazakas, "The church and the graveyard are the only -kings dere which were present at the time of the massacre." Other location shooting will take .place at Wen- tworth and Black Creek pioneer villages with the burning of the Donnelly home to be filmed in an Oshawa studio. Since the orginial Donnelly tombstone is no longer in place, due to many acts of vandalism, the CBC brought along replicas of several tombstones which could be easily moved. As part of his payment on the production, Mr. Fazakas will receive the replicas .
