This decision followed a public meeting held for the purpose of council guidance, held at the Oakwood com- munity hall Thursday night when a standing-room-only crowd gave council an apparent go-ahead for two new arenas for the township, to replace the existing facili- ties presently closed on order of the Ministry of Labor. Figures mentioned at the Thursday night meeting suggested new arenas in the $400,000 area each, with add- ed facilities for a community hall adjoining the arena at Little Britain.. The council also called for a study of the township assessment in the north end of the township in order to arrive at a formula to pro- vide assistance to the Wood- ville arena fund following the closing of that facility. Mariposa Township coun- cil clerk John Doble said council approved two motions concerning the arena situation and he was of the opinion both motions received unanimous approv- al. The first motion stated "that council will accept the recommendation of the township recreation commit- tee to retain R.E. Winter Associates (Engineers) to proceed with plans for two arenas for the township of Mariposa, subject to all approvals from the Minist- ries, OMB and others." The second motion that also received council approval states "that R.E. Winter Associates' plans for the Oakwood facility be an arena structure for an ice surface and related require- ments, and that the Little Britain structure be for an ice surface and related re- quirements as well as an area for a community hall, this motion to be forwarded to the township recreation committee." The recommendation to make a study of the township assessment for ratepayers served by the Woodville Arena was approved and council" will make recom- mendations in this matter when the study information is available. The consensus of opinion at the meeting indicated the new arena proposed for Oak- wood will be located on the fair grounds. Deputy Reeve Jack Coulson said today the Oakwood fair board has given approval for the facil- ity on the fair grounds and the possibility of an agricul- tural grant toward the pro- ject will be investigated. At Little Britain, the Thursday meeting suggested a new shell be built over the exist- ing plant with the hope of having ice available this winter, and the building_be completed next summer. Finances involving a can- vass for community finan- cial support and application for whatever grants are available along with a debenture issue.

Sympathy is extended to the family of Oliver Reader in the recent passing of the late Mrs. - Reader's sister, Miss Frances Clark, a former nurse of Montreal.

We also extend sympathy to the family of the late Stewart Sweetman who passed away so suddenly on Friday night. Though' Ste- wart had had several former heart problems, he was not one to give up easily and tried to spend his time in useful efforts. Mrs. Hazel Turl of Sask- atoon spent a few days with her niece, Mrs. Earl Reader and family. On Sunday, they were joined by uncle, Mr. Jack Jeffrey and cousins, Mr. and Mrs. King- sley Gorrell, all of Sask- atoon.

'""Ascona Place' was named after a tourist town in the southern or Italian part of Switzerland. The Zingg's have carried the theme of Ascona in the royal blue and red decorations throughout, creating an old- world atmosphere. They started with an ordinary eat- ing place, built on, and now you can eat on the Terrace Cafe, the Wine Cellar, or the Ascona Stubli. We were taken on a tour of the gour- met equipped kitchens, the well-stocked wine cellar and the comfortable living quar- ters. Although "Ascona Place" is closed on Tues- days, we were graciously served a most delicious meal personally by the Zinggs. } The Scugog Island W.I hope, to organize a bus trip in the fall when the leaves are turning for members and their friends to visit with Trudi and Ernest again, We next visited the home of Dr. Henry Norman Bethune who lived from 1890 - 1939 and is much revered by the Chinese people. In 1936, he set up the world's first mobile blood transfusion unit in Spain. He is buried in the Mauso- leum of Martyrs, Shih Cha Chuang, China. From Gravenhurst, we went to Huntsville and had a chat with June and Keith Crozier, another former Scugog Island couple. We wish them much happiness when they move into, their lovely new house in September. On our way home we stop- ped at a "look-out" station in one of the parks but no one felt tempted to climb to * the top even though the view would have been worth it. an Fo a Ah FR ROI i pre n ~ a 0 oo New book arrivals at Library A few of the many new books that have arrived at the library are: Touch not the Cat, Mary Stewart; His- torical atlas of Ontario County, Plague ship by Frank Slaughter; The deep, Moore Rediforms e Repair Estimate Sheets eo Statements e Counter Sales Books e Continuous Forms e Invoices e Receipt Books e Portable Registers AS A UL dove a complete line of Wedding Stationery to 4 all your needs for that special day. tn Ie SRR o e Matches eo Invitations a a * CONTINUOUS FORMS 2, Lv / "f 3 ® ( . . , i % GREETING CARDS io ® Place Cords © Nopkins [lf Con Bein nid © 7 ! on eo Confetti Cards ANCL by Jsghelie La (4% * TYPEWRITERS e Thank you Cards ry: he woman says, by 3 essamyn West, at d * SCHOOL SUPPLIES o Cues Bois Jussgaiier yon serbian Paris Flammonde; Choosing and caring for your swimm- ing pool by A.
