STATE OF THE ARENA
Our arena is nearly ready! Yes,
nearly ready for the reconstruc,
Um job to be done. All seats ape
out and burned. All the bo$rds
are down and all the nails arQ out.
Some materials are being petain-
ed for re -use. Some are be** sold
and the proceeds going toward
the building fund.
The basic design of structural
changes have been OK'd by the
Department of Labor. The engin-
eering firm of B. M. Ross As-
sociates of Goderich who is over-
seeing the structural design and
building is presently in the pro-
cess of putting together the vari-
ous aspects of the plans in order
to get contractual bids on the con-
struction.
At this time it is difficult to say
when the actual construction will
start. In the meantime plans are
well underway for the phone-a-
thon fund raising event on Satur-
day, Sept. 11.

police chief has promised he will
lock up anyone who has a charge
laid on him. He will have him in a
local "jail" on the main street to
prove that law is always on the
right side.
The local Canadettes, Can-
adian Champion baton twirlers
under Patti Robertson, their dir-
ector, will be strutting their stuff
also.
The final show has not been
finalized yet but Chairman Jim
Ward hopes to have it all locked
up by next week. All the shenani-
gans and fun and frolic will take
place at the armouries, including
a free dance for all donors.
It promises to be a good day of
entertainment — free for all to
come and see. Be there to see it
and hear it. Participate in the
fun. More next week.
