Lyon and Russell and

mainly transportation for
the elderly one audience
member saw the
relocation of the bran-
ches perhaps causing
enduring difficulties.
"I don't like the moves
from the small towns to
the bigger ones," 'said
John Armstrong after the
meeting. He explained he
had banked at Lon-
desboro for 56 years and
was a lifetime resident of
Hullett Township.
"As long as I'm able to
drive, I will certainly see
these older people will get
to some bank. That isn't
the problem. There's one
more thing leaving the
community and .;if more
go, pretty soon there will
just be old people left in
the village."
Mr. Burrow later said
he did not think the
departure . of institutions
like his, bank would lead
to the demise of small
towns, Be added the bank
could continue its
responsibility to the
community by supporting
projects such ascom-
munity centres.
Although the village
residents had no hope of
getting the bank to
reconsider , its decision,
they did manage to
convince its represen- „
`tativgs to consider some
changes for convenience
in Clinton, One possibility
could be Saturday
morning banking.
In ,his address, Mi.
Burrow :said • Saturday
morning banking was
initiated recently in
Wingham and after six
quiet, weeks business
'began to pick up. He said
Titer it quite likely could
be introduced in Clinton.
We wish to take this opportunity
to extend to each one of you, all
the happiness of this Holy
Season.
May the blessings of Christmas
continue with you, this, and the
coming year.
