SORRY, KIDS!
The Goderich Lions Club, which, with
the financial aid of the Town of Goderich,
has annually staged a party for you on
Hallowe'en will be unable to do so this
year.
This is due to the absence of a suitable,
place in which to stage the party. The
Goderich Arena, where it hag 'been held
for some years now, is undergoing repairs --
to its artificial ice making machine and
th'e Arena and Recreation Committee
gras that because of this the Arena will
:not be available Saturday evening.
