The building is to be put upon a cement foundation, and will be 80 feet by 30 feet with an L addition which will be fitted up as a workshop * * - Mr. Fred. Raines, the gardener who lives on the 7th concession, has pur- «chased the lot upon which the curling rink stands, and will probably build there next summer, Patriotic Notes The Women's Patriotic Association is in need of funds.
