He ,was escorted to the warden's chair by Cal I ,rauter, 1968 warden who told council, ,"Thank God we're the same height." - In a more serious vain, Krauter hung the chain of office about the new warden's neck and suggested he wear it with "diligence and humility".

But the rumours have been spread and damage has been done, so, let's try to setthe record straight: ' The Board' is not now attempting, nor will it ever attempt, to "take over'' the arena, as some would"have the town believe.'The main aim of the Board with that regard is to solicit the aid of arena Manager Bill Lumby, in setting up a recreation.,programine for the town and also to help Mr. Lumby complete improvements he has long wanted for the arena. At its Monday night meeting, the Board expressed a, vote of confidence in Mr. Lumby and stated it "...didn't know where we would be without his help."
