out for employ there was a story about the Actoo Rock Crushers and Head Office baseball teams battling it out on June 11 There were two team photos Head office captured the victory with a slim 1413 victory I would never believed It if I seen it with my own eyes I drove up to Colllngwood Friday night in that terrible wind and rain It took almost half a tank of gas to get there Even though the car bad been tuned up just the day before I chalked the poor mileage up to the fact my vehicle is close to six years old and more rust than paint But on the return trip In perfect driving weather Ittookmeonlyoneelghtfaora tank of gas to get back In fact I also drove to and back and a re turn trip to Guelph using just a little more gas than the half trip to Colling wood I always knew wind could effect the gas consumption of a car but I venever dreamed it could be that much s first draw was to be held Saturday However Wednesday night organizer decided to delay the start of the draw two months to give their small sales force time to sell mare tickets its now supposed to get underway Decern Rockwood Lions may hold carnival Fox Run funds slow coming Funds from the Terry Fox Run here hut month are slowly trickling in but a lot more must still be deposited at local banks Spokesman for the organizer Jon Hurst said as of Thursday only about ROOD of the over III pledged to participants has been put in the banks The deadline is today Wednesday but nobody will complain if the runners turn in their pledge a la to Organizers realize many runners may have made their deposits in Georgetown or at banks where they work and that money will eventually be credited to the Acton Fox Run The main Fox Run of flee in Toronto is keeping track of which runs money comes in from regardless of where the money is deposited and they 11 be sending an itemized account to local organizers later One problem Hurst says may be that its taking participants extra time to collect their pledges because bo many of them had lengthy pledge sheets and raised so much Collecting the money now would seem to be about the hardest part of the whole for runners Subdivision objections are under advisemenf Township
