chitecture, bouglas•S. Richard-
son of the University of
Toronto. The author cited the

to the importance of controlling
the site for possible future
needs.

Two famous ice cream
makers are getting together. It
is announced that Bisset Ice
Cream will' ease production of
their own ice cream products
which they have been
producing in Goderich- for the
past 50 years and become sole
distributors for Sealtest
Products. The move was made,
explained company president
Sandy Bisset, because "we are
concerned at our inability to
provide our customers with the
complete line of frozen desserts
needed to compete with other
companies". The dairy begun
by Samuel .Bisset in 1896, has
been producing top quality
dairy products and are very ex-
cited ,about Sealtest products.

week. Another huge success is
expected.
