Last Thursday the Arena was to. be sold under the auctioneer's ham- mer, but, at the last moment, this should be remembered that the pro- ceeds are for a very worthy cause -- The X -Ray Fund, Join the crowds at the Street Car- nival.

They keep marching up and down the hill, and when they are half way dip the hill they are neither up nor down. ;!; :� * After every holiday and week -end the papers report the loss of many lives. What price pleasure! * * * * Backing his car out of his garage sale was called off. The Chamber of in Toronto a father inadvertently ran Commerce learned that outside buy- over his 2 -year-old son. Care should ers were interested in purchasing this be taken by the motorist that the building with a view of erecting it in road is clear whether going forward their own town, It seemed to them that this building, which cost the citizens of Wingham about $21,000, should not be sold • and removed at a sacrifice price. They therefore re- commended to the Town Council that the ratepayers be given the priv- ilege of endorsing a By-law to pur- chase the Arena.

It was 'on November 29th, 1919, that the Arena built by Harry Wards - man was blown clown and it was not until Tuesday, Nov. 11th, 1924, that -the construction on the present Ar- ena was commenced, and this by the efforts of a number of public-spirited citizens. The Arena was opened on January 26th, 1925, and all were ag- reed and still agree, that this Arena is one of the finest for a town of. this population, in Ontario. Once before . the citizens had an opportunity to help finance this pro- position. This was in December of 1927, when the ratepayers defeated a by-law' to loan the Arena Co. $5000. The vote was close, 325 for, to 334 against. For a short time after this the Ar- ena did very well financially but for the past few years the same as a great many other rinks, they have had difficulty in meeting their. obli- gations. The result of this was the Arena was . advertised for sale, It will be clearly up to the rate- payers now whether they wish to buy this property or not. It surely would be a shame if this building were sold and removed from town, and it now looks as if this will take . place un- less the ratepayers pass the 'by -lax- for it purchase. j * X * * * The of swimmin' hole has done''. noble darty" during the recent hot days. * * * * The Toronto papers are -sure that the Provincial election will be held in October, but the Premier states he has not heard of it.
