Jil: THE RUMOR FACTORY Grinds Out Wrong Information About THE ARENA Rumor: --The bank which ad- vanced the loan did so only after all the other banks turned it down as a poor risk, FACT: -- ' THE TRUTH IS the Royal Bank was 'the first, and only bank ap- proached. Rumor: --The association board should have «called for tenders instead of accepting the first and only price. FACT: -- THE TRUTH IS. that on the original plans three prices were secured. When these plans were discarded as a result of the Fact Finding Committee's outline of exactly the kind of building re- quired, the board acted as follows: It secured three prices, from con- tractors who SPECIALIZED IN COMMUNITY CENTRE AREN- AS. After consultation with every possible source of information the present plans and price were accepted as providing the most possible features at the best pos- sible price. In following this pro- cedure the board was following the pattérn of industry, which asks for prices on what it wants from 'those qualified and exper ienced in erecting such buildings. ° Rumor:--It was found neces sary to have an inspector watch- ing another Hipel arena job so that the concrete would be. up to specifications, and the same thing is necessary here. FACT: -- THE TRUTH IS that King Pav- ing Company Limited is supply- ing all the concrete and this com- pany's mix always tests far in excess of standards. Actual tests taken last 'week showed concrete of 25 percent above standard being used. Rumor: --The lumber being us- ed is of poor grade. FACT: THE TRUTH IS that all lumber being used is marked Grade 1. and is checked in on the job as being up to this standard. Rumor: --When the arena is re- turned to town management af- ter the loan is repaid the name will be changed to the Oakville Memorial Community Centre Ar- FACT: -- THE TRUTH IS the name will always be Oakville-Trafalgar. This name was selected by town council, as it appreciated Trafal- gar residents would be donating to the building. Rumor: --All available cement is going into the arena. Anyone building a home will 'be unable to get any cement. FACT: THE TRUTH IS no cement is being taken away from local home builders by the company for the arena. Any homebuilder can get ready-mix, but must wait their turn, as the arena had to do. The arena order 'was placed well in advance.

Delivery: Phone 505 Summons Summary Oakville police are detepmin- ed to curb speeding, on town streets, Councillor Jack Isard clearly indicated Monday night. "The chief reports that a start- ling total of 60 motorists were summonsed during the past week," he told council. "I call them motorists, although | could find other names for peo: ple so inconsiderate. of the saf- ety. of their fellow citizens. Six ty summonses in so short a period) is not something we should. congratulate ourselves upon, but it shows the police are watching the situation clos- ely and should serve as a clear warning to speedsters." | Scores Howe Strong 'criticism of the special powers assumed by the Liberal government at Ottawa was voiced by J. M. McDonnell, K.C., M.P. for Greenwood, Toronto, who ad- dressed the annual the Progressive district In the Masonic Hall Tuesday evening. "When we are in a state of preparation for war, as we are at present, there have to be spe- cial powers," sald the speaker. "All we say is, let us have some statement of what they are." He attacked the government for its failure to take the people into its confidence regarding these pow- ers. "In the past few weeks I have seen fear creeping into the business community, fear of doing anything Mr. Howe wouldn't like," he declared. "Mr. Howe is a suc- cessful business man who has a dictator complex. The things that are being done now will be dang- erous if they go on for ten years more." on Red Cross Renews "Appeal For Donors The terrible disaster which oc- curred in Oakville's harbor last May is still fresh in the minds of many citizens, who will recall the vitally important part blood transfusions played in. saving the lives, of the survivors. In such emergencies as this, it is essen- tial to have an abundant supply of blood available to administer to the victims. It is with a view to building up an adequate blood supply at Oakville-Trafalgar Me- morial Hospital that the Blood Donor Committee of Oakville and District Red Cross is appealing for blood donors. More people are urgently needed to give blood for this all-important purpose. A do- nor. clinic will be held on Wed- nesday November 15th, and yol- unteers are requested to register for 'this clinic immediately. They may register at any local drug store or through their service clubs. Remember, the need is most urgent!
