Well ladies . . . it has finally happened . . . all of | you that have been constan- tly in an uproar about the excess poundage that you have nothing but contempt for, may lose every ounce of this burdensome annoyance. A new branch of the re- nowed TOPS club has opened in Caesarea. The officers are as follows. President, Eileen Wray. Adele Pedzikowski, Vice Shirley Gettins, Sec. Marg Rehnoff, treasurer Pat Clancy, weight recorder (poor Pat) Sandy Day, Staff reporter. A name for this branch has not as yet been chosen but one is to be selected very soon. Many names have been rather discreetly suggested by the present members one of which is "We Told You We Could Do It club" "or "Chubby Has Disappeared Club". 1 wish these ladies all the luck in the world in their new attempt to.slim down. I may joke about it because I am one of the fortunate people that can eat like a horse and not gain too much. I sincerely hope that no individual lady col- lects too many tea towels as punishment for not losing the required weight in a certain period. If any one is interested in joining this group, please contact one of the above named officers for information. I hope the members still consider me a friend after reading this. Welcome back to Mrs. Edna Post after her winter stay -in sunny Florida. We trust that Caesarea remains sunny until Mrs. Post be- comes climate accustomed once more. The D Days of Caesarea are planning a trip to the western provinces in June. I hope all goes well and that nothing unforseen occurs to deter the plans they have made. Our congratulations. to Mr. James Elliot upon his recently won prize for writ- ing his version as to what our home town newspaper means. It was a well writ: ten and extremely interest- ing story. Our best wishes upon his entry in the nat- ional contest, sponsored by the Can. Community News- paper Association. Just a thought . . . Our young people would serve a better purpose In life if those of them that get "High" on drugs simply got "High" on life.

Arena board news Caesarea area news Arena $175.00 The Port Perry Arena Board held a general meet- ing on Wednesday, May 23 to clear up several matters in regard -to the repairs needed and the summer use of the Arena. The rental rate for any organization is now $175.00 per day. After many dis- cussions during the past several meetings, it was' passed that this rate be applied to cover costs and help out the maintainence program. : The Kinsmen Club will hold a Beer Fest in the arena on Friday, June 1st and Saturday June 2nd. Other events planned are the Home Show also in June; the Western Weekend in August, the Snowmobile Show and several Wrestling Shows. The board also will send out specifications to several local contractors as well as a firm recommended by the consultants to obtain a firm price on the repair of the south side of the arena. In order to operate in the areana next ice season this repair must be made. The Department of Labour who do the Arena Inspection have requested that the footings be repaired to eliminate the movement which has occurred and is pushing the south side of the building away from the ice pad. This is a similar problem to the Stouffville arena which resulted in the clo- sing of that rink by the inspectors. As this will be a major expense and other repairs are necessary as well, the Townships will be ® asked to assist /in the ex- penditure. The responsé towards a new Arena hds not been to encouraging at this time but due to the condition of sev- eral major items -at the arena the matter must be dealt with within the com- ing year. The next meeting will be held in June to appoint the persons needed to operate the building and equipment for the 73-74 ice season. 5 On Special Savings Accounts "as of June 1. VICTORIA ....
