assume that the voters were interested in a place for our young people to have good clean recreation without the thought of how ridiculous the price is for something that was built in 1922 seating capacity about 1500 when the population was only 1980 and now over 7000 and more to- come here is a proposition a price for an all new arena without posts to obstruct the view capacity of 3 000 with laminated arched roof ice surface ds x 185 same as maple leaf gardens has been giv en by one of our local lumber companies agent for the dring laminated construction co of manitoba for 130000 and advise that the steel and material in the old arena could be sold for be tween ten and fifteen thousand or more to reduce the cost to al most the price asked to repair the old one here is another proposition and use local men by using the brick wall of the front part for no 1 end wall and using part un der the rose boom for dressing rooms only that leaves two sides and one end to be constructed now let us figure on 5000 seat capacity ice surface 85 x 185 if ladies georgetown lawn bowling club official opening saturday may 24th 7r30p s new members welcome for information contact

will exchange the lamin ated beams necessary for the roof even swap for the steel that is in the present building now after the beams are in place on top of concrete wall the plywood used for forms could be used clean side down for sheeting then alu minum roofing would complete the outside structure if we repair the old arena the seating capacity will still only be 1500 to 2000 so let s put in

laid the foundation in connection with the latter we were interested learn from mr m j carton milton r r no 3 who has been active in agricultural society work for over 60 years and a member of the milton society for 47 or 48 years that in 1953 the first year the halton society operated a fair the total prize money paid was 305 in that year there was no charge at the gate and member ships received totalled 100 on a basts of 25 cents per person the government grant in that year was 900 by 1876 this grant had decreased to 348 but gate rec eipts were 870 plus municipal grants totalling 100 in this lat ter j ear the prize money paid had jumped to 964 these figures may seem a far cry from those of 1957 nevertheless there is a strong possibility that those pioneer offi cers and directors contributed as much or more in time and effort than ii done by their counterparts of lodaj and that would be say ing a good deal numbered among the guests who spoke briefly was stan hall mpp
