Education is the key to successful
marketing and following the
Chicago futures market is an ex-
cellent way to learn about cash
market trends, whether or not one is
interested in actual trading.

had previously traded in the futures
markets. In March, club members
hired a broker (Mr. Evans) and
ecided to invest in a December

Utility abandons
plan to buy shed
4!
4,
The Wingham' Public Utilities
Commission has all but abandoned
an idea to purchase the town works
shed, which is to be put up for public
tender.
A letter from the town council's
property committee was read at last
week's June PUC meeting, giving
the utility notice that the property
will be offered for sale.
Earlier this year when the PUC
first learned the property would be -
coming up for sale, its members had
considered putting in a bid as the
utility has a well on the property
right next to the works shed.
However, PUC 'Manager Ken
Saxton now says that if a new Well
were to be drilled, it probably would
be located in the industrial belt,
The PUC may enter a bid on the,
works shed property, but it is "net
critical" that its bid is- accepted,
says Mr. Saxton.
