wins $2500
in Provincial
" A local man, Herman Lansink,
of R.R.1, Granton, won $2500 in
Monday night's Provincial
Lottery draw, which was held in
Stratford.
Mr. Lansink, who's the son of
Mr. and Mrs. Jdhn Lansink of
Seaforth, said at first he thought -
that his ticket, numbered
2313582, was only a $50 winner.
When he went to redeem the,
ticket he found it was worth 50
times that much.
"I'm going to take a day off
tomorrow and go and pick up the
money," Mr. Lansink said.

about how he •was . a horrible
dancer ,too. I dropped the whole,
thing.
Another man wanted to . know
why I'd come to a singles dance
with two euvs. "For protection,"
I said. (No I didn't really..singles
' dances are so friendly that
nopody needs protection.) •

The person who had the best

He especially had furi dancing
