QUIET H1OLIDA'Y - Because of the new safety restrictions on fireworksdipa, the Rotary Club has been forced to abandon the project.

BANQU ' ETS - Wvýouild you believe t1hat on Saturday night, there were at least six banquets that we knýow, of in town and immediate area, four bowling and twvo hockey. AIl evening- we were taking pictures of wi,,nninig teamns and players, while the aroma of roast turkey or heef dîd its hest to wreck our sJimming diet, aided and abetted by the sight of hompemade pies covered wt whipped creamn or mouth-watering meringue. We estimait- ed that over 100 men and womien were 'lnvolved in serving the mneals, cleaning up --nid %ashing the dishes. Wonder what would happen If ail those groups su4denly said to heck with it, w,ýe won't serve any more meals. A lot of good causes thecy support by the receipts from thlose banquets would go clown the drain. CHANGES -- This town is cbanging so rapidly it's difficit to keep up.
