by- fire the ar- ena had just been purchased bythe town 5000 coming from a bequest of a woalthyjrcsideht and jtooo from the kinsmens club there was no insur ance t the herald has been criticized and rightly so for a dearth of sports news nary a word has been breathed about the- new artificial ice plant which is one project that has been completed on time in this day of delays meant to have a detailed article thisweek but the time has slipped by anclitmust wait for another issue hockey talk too has been missing from the blabber as one ofour subscribers calls it and theres some catching up to do on that score and just at this time of year when there is a pile of bookkeeping and everyone hollering for their yearerid bills so the governmehtsslice of 47 profits wont be so large- wish more of the newcomers to town would help us out in the social arid personalcolurrth by telling us abouttheir visitors we did our best to track down all the holiday comings- ahdgoirigs but missed many of our newer residents particularly the ones without telephone names- make jiews and personals are a big factor in keeping the local paper interesting had our fingers crossed v on new years eve when we heard the fire siren just the previous evening fire chief harry savings was telling jus that if luck held for another twentyfour hours georgetown would have one of the lowest fire z losses in yearit true fire being at the glen didnjt count and the record will stand a number of fergus merchants have decided to close saturday eyening8 for the winter months claiming business doesnt warrant staying open its quite the reverse in georgetown where saturday parking space is at a pre mium and what favourable comments there were lait- weekto find thursdays heavy snow completely re moved by saturday night from the downtown streets we still stick by our observation last year that there isnt a town between georgetown and chesley which keeps its streets cleared in anything approaching the fashion in

comefrom the engineer who gets it in turn from the motoring public seriously there is a point well taken in our readers observations and we hope you ajl will try with us to makethe engineers job happier and our lives saferby using propercaution at railway crossings a further safety measure is to avoid changing gears on the track many fatal accidents have been caused by cars which stalled
