Expect new Howick centre to be completed by May 31
Doug Bunker of RR 2, Harris-"
ton reported this week that May
31, , 1974 has been set as the
completion date for the new
$387,000 Howick Township Com-
munity Centre.
Mr. Bunker is the chairman of
the centre's building committee.
The structure, housing both an
artificial ice arena and a com-
munity centre, is being built on a
20 -acre site adjacent to Howick
.Central School in the centre of the
township.
According to Mr. Bunker, the
centre is.now becoming a.reality.
"Construction by Welcon Ltd.
of Guelph has started," he said.
"To date all the below grade con-
crete work such as footings, pier
supports and walls have been
completed. Construction steel

Healing Substance:
Shrinks Piles
Exclusive heeling substance
proven to shrink hemorrhoids and
repair damaged tissue.
A renowned research institute has
found a unique healing substance
with the ability to shrink hemor-
rhoids painlessly. It relieves itching
and discomfort in minutes ' and
speeds up healing of the injured,
inflame¢ tissue:
In case after case, while gently
relieving pain, actual reduction
(shrinkage) took place.
Most important of all --results
were so thorough that 'his improve-
ment was maintained over a period
of many months.
All this was accomplished with a
healing substance (Bio -Dyne) which
quickly ,helps heal injured cells and
stimulates growth of new tissue.
Now Bio -Dyne is offered in oint-
ment and suppository form called
Preparation H. Ask for it at all drug
stores. Satisfaction or your money
refunded.
Preparation
and materials are arriving on the
site and much activity is .an-
ticipated with a May 31 comple-
tion date in mind,"
The complex, on the ground
floor will feat„llre an ice surface
measuring 80 by 180 feet, office,
dressing rooms, snack bar, wash
rooms, first aid, referee's room
and mechanical rooms. The sec-
ond
ec and floor; measuring 40 by 120 '
feet, will contain a serving kit-
chen, stage, cloak room, wash-
rooms and a clear floor area of 40
by 90 feet..
"One of the interesting struc-
tural details is the metal roof,
patented by Button Steel, which
features no external fastenings of
nails or bolts," Mr. Bunker re-
ported,
e-ported< "This eliminates the pos-
sibility . of leaks around these
fastenings."
Mr. Bunker also reported that
of *the $387,000 needed for the
centre, approximately only
$42,000 remains to be raised.

ed in excess of $50,000. The larg-
est single donation to date is
$10,000 made by the Garfield

attained approval from the On-
tario Municipal Board for the is-
suance of a $175,000 debenture.
The Federal and provincial
governments are supporting the
project through the Winter
Capital Projects Fund and it is
expected this will amount to ap-
proximately. $100,000. It is also
hoped that a grant of $20,000 may
be received under the Com.
munity Centre's Act.
The $42,000 remaining will be
raised by further public fund
raising programs and by public
donation.
The community centre com-
mittee noted that a number of
people were missed during the
public canvass and also that
others who did contribute,
generously offered to do so again
if required.
"More money is required,"
said Mr. Bunker, "therefore this
is to be considered as a plea, to
these people to once again come
forth."
Donations will be received by
any member of the finance com-
mittee or any of the Fordwich,
Gorrie or Wroxeter banks. Turn -
berry Township has contributed
to the building fund, but the com-
mittee has not received word
from Minto Township regarding
its intentions.

mittee include: Lyle Foerter of
RR • 2, Clifford, Paul Statia of
Wroxeter, Bruce Robertson of
Gorrie, Jack Burns of Gorrie and
Don Coghlin of Fordwich.

iastic support they have received
to date has been overwhelming.

bookings have aliready been re-
ceived for the use of the new com-
munity hall.
"It is expected,and hoped that
this facility when completed will
truly be the `centre' of sports and
social events in the . Howick
area," Mr. Bunker said.
Eagerly awaiting the new -
facility • are hockey pryers in
Howick. This is especially true of
Fordwich players who had to
move their home games to Bel -
more this season when the Ford-
wich arena was condemned.

the new centre have included
dances, a walkathon and a draw
for a shopping spree .,besides the
public canvass.
