he said and now it is out or date it has already been challenged and the township must keep it updated he felt loser in the race for the reeveship mr goutouski said he would have been delighted if he had won but even though he lost the race he felt satisfied i gave mr hoey a good run for his money he later told this newspaper his campaign was based on extending telephone calling service in the

didnt have to campaign for herself i just cannot go for the conccpl of betting on sundays she said in an interview the horse races would be alright if money was not involved the people of

now being pushed by the tinance committee headed by treasurer kent hallman this involves the securing of a covenant commitment from every curler and prospective user of the new acton curling club to purchase by october 31 of next year 1969 one or more debentures the minimum debenture commitment to be gamed from the club has been set at 40000 and the executive would be highly pleased if the

and only sx thereafter yet the executive is convinced that there are enough interested curlers in acton willing to make a small financial sacrifice in order to invest in a muchneeded recreational

ycarthe difference in the interest payable on those debentures and a debenture paying 8 from the day of issue this we think is not a very great sacrifice if there are new mombers in the club desiring
