PAGE S~~~~~~TEEN P~&Arit~WTA P~JW aAlfL.O~! FOUiS in Buttevmilk Young Boy Rescue d ORONO - A four-year-old Orono boy drowning in a vat of buttermilk was saved Friday b3, the action of three girls, two from Oshawa, who heard him shouting for help. The boy, Bruce Manning, elimbed a ladder te the top of the vat, which is about seven feet high and six feet wide, out- aide the Orono Creamery. He overbalanced and feli into the buttermilk whîch was about two and a haîf feet deep, nearly coming up to his mouth. Three girls Bonnie, aged 13, Norma, , te daughters of Mrs. Donald Graham of 573 Feinhili Boule- vard, Oshawa, and Jane Green- wood, 13, of Orono, happened te be passing by. Neighbor Helps Bonnie climbed up the ladder while the other two ran to fetch the boy' s mother, Mrs. Victor C. Manning, who lives nearby. Bonnie was unable to reach Bruce, who was fighting to keep his balance in the thick liquid, then "Chuck" Hutton, a neigh-! bor, dashed to the vat. 1 He crawled around the side on his hands and knees until he could get hold of Bruce and pull him over the side. Mis. Manning said: "Thank goodness those girls -heard Bruce's cries. We have had luck in more ways thafi one. It was only on Thursday that a man took away a lot of buttermilk, reducing the depth in the vat. Curnous «'Buttermilk is what is left after butter has been made out of butterfat. Bruce can be a little mischievous at times and he told me afterwards that he was curious about the butter- milk and wanted to smell it. III had a difficult job cleaning him up afterwards. One thing I know for sure - young Bruce will keep away from, that vat in future." Mrs. Graham said: III was visiting in Orono at the tirne. I arn so pleased that my daught- ers weîe passing by the vat and heard the boy shouting. If they had not, it might have been a very sad story." Orono Citizens Plan On Restoring Arena Using Present Site il ORONO -The Orono Cham- ber of Commerce met on Thurs- day evening, Maîch 27, at their regular dinner meeting in the Orono Restaurant. Twelve mem- bers were present with the main itemn of discussion center- Ing on the restoration of the Agricultural Mrena. Members of the Agricultural Society were present. The president, Mr. A. McGill. made mention of the' pîoposed cleanup and paint up campaign to be sponsored by the Chamn- ber and was of the opinion that this should be held sometirne in early June. The three committees of the chamber were given power to act on policies which had al- ready been put before the en- tire meeting. It was suggested and moved at the meeting that the Cham- ber keep a recora of building OLDSMOBILE 88-98 lots for sale in the village. This would not consist of price or terrns but would merely be a list froin which interested per- sons rnay find where lots were available. It was decldied that the record would be kept. at the Orono Fuel and Lumber and that anvone wishing te listý their lots may do so by inform- ing this Orono business. This is just a stîaight service, not a real estate venture, Mr. R. R. Waddell gave a complete and informative ad- dîess pertaining to the location of a new High School in the are a. The rebuilding of the Agri- cultural Building was then dis- cussed and J. C. Gamey, secre- tary of the Fair Board, pointed out that as far as the Agricul- tural Society was concerned thev could restore the building for fair purposes or back to its O. K.

Any improvernents, he said, would have to corne fromn t'he community. The Society, he said, did flot want to go into debt. It was pointed out that the Chamber Committee had re- ceived one tender for repairing the present building and plac- ing a ten foot addition out front. The contract price xvas over $14.000 and this did not include wirine. heating or toilet facili- ties. Mr. Gamey stated that for this scheme the cornmunity would have to raise between $7,000 and $8,000 providing the insurance companies paid $ 10,- 000. He gave littie hope of re- ceiving assistance from the provincial government. Mr. H. Duvaîl, one of a com- mittee who viewed Arenas,~ stated that aiqy they saw were1 out of reason. Mr. A. McLaren, another member of the cornmittee, said that the annual upkeep of arenas with artificial ice was arnounting to between $10,000 and $15.000. Some of the ice surfaces were 70 x 170. To have. a better arena that existed, he commented, that the building~ would have to be of cernent block and a block building meant that you had to have artificial ice. Mr. McLaren, expressed the feeling of the committee, which he said seemed to favour an addition to the north end of the present rink. This should be of sufficient size and width s0 that it could always be of use even if at a later date the ice surface portion was to be made larger. The dressing- rooms should be of sufficient size to cope witlr any possible increase, he said. Mr. C. W. Billings suggested that help could also be count- ed on. The assistance may be obtained from the Chamber Committee and the Fair Board Cornmittee, he said, should soo ge toether and corne to a decision. A Wavs and Means Commit- tee to formulat e plans for fi- nancing was forrned of S. B. Rutherford, Gordon Watson, Frank MeKaye and R. C. For- ester. A Comrittee was set up nt a la ter meeting on Tuesday, April 1 which represents four organizations to plan the res- toration of Agricultural Build- ing recently damaged by fire. The comrnittee represents four members from the Durham Central Agricultural Society, four from the Chamber of Commerce and two from the Orono Skating Club and two from the Orono Amateur Ath- letic Association.
