Mr. Kenny said he read that it was costing $5,000 to $6,000 a year to keep one child in a day care centre in Ajax. Mayor Lawrence Malcolm _ said it only cost about $3,000 certainly should know what a good job the Board is doing since he comes from the community." : In a report to council, the mayor suggested that the halls in Cartwright be leased * to local organizations that would run them.

The Senior Citizens have a New Horizons grant and want to remeve the stage - from the old Hall and to replace it with a kitchen, while the Women's Institute wants at least part of a stage left.
