from a two-week trip to the
Maritimes. Some impressions
gained by your correspondent
follow...
The wayside flowers were
beautiful in the east, especially
the masses of lupins in all shades
of pink and purple. The farms in
the central part of Prince
Edward Island were lovely, with
rolling hills and lush green
growth against brick red soil, and
well -painted, tidy looking
buildings. There wasn't much
brick used the areas we saw. The
Cabot Trail was spectacular, and
the drive along the Saint John
River on the Trans -Canada,
beautiful.

Demolition of Hensall arena
expected to start next week
Demolition of the old Hensall
arena should begin within the
next two weeks according to
Reeve Harold Knight,
Knight said demolition would
probably begin when the arena
manager Rollie Vanstone returns
from his holiday at the end of the
week.
Volunteer labour will likely
work on the interior and hired
labour will
probablytear down
the arena roof and exterior, said
Knight.
Knight estimated that $32,000
had been spent on renovating the
old arena between 1972 and 1975.
Referring to the cost of the
Hensall's new arena, Knight said
the total cost may be reduced to
$660,000 to $670,000.

of the arena which set total cost
at $700,450. The original
estimated total arena cost was
$600,000.
"It's unfortunate=that the first
engineer we talked to pretty
well said we could do it for that
($600,000)", said Knight.
Knight said other things could
be removed from the proposal
tender to lower the arena cost
"but we want to take full ad-
vantage of the grant system as it
is and get as much as we can".
A fund -raising dance was held
in the old Hensall arena Saturday
but fund chairman Eric Luther
said the total amount of money
raised could not be known until
all ticket proceeds had been
collected.
