Toronto and to the Exhibition and show and also for the very nice they gave me also Katie Turkon for her presents and Mr and Mrs for keeping me for and to all who made my stay most enjoyable Mrs 273 Danegall Avenue Belfast Ireland Defends downtown businessmen Dear Sir The council seems to be at a standstill over the downtown shopping area It is my personal opinion that along with the store owner the town council must jolly well- get oil their butts and look seriously not in a few years but now at a few very pressing problems For years parking In the downtown sector has been abominable Will anything be done It seems obvious to me also that Industry In town would bring on increased residential papulation thus Increased sales to the businessmen and thus needed capital to make the changes that ail residents arc crying for There Is another culprit in town the landlord who is constantly increasing his rents for the stores which he owns thus either driving the businessmen out or farcing him to seek other arrangements A Retailer The Acton Free Pratt Wednesday September Sun shines on opening new fire hall WHAT BETTER PLACE to view the opening fire truck They are Mike Myctte Don of the

Kathy off youll think there must be something hard and cruel underneath our love of the brat And what is the reaction of that fine dedicated altruistic group the teachers A them dread it- They are the
