PROMPT, COURTEOUS SERVICE LÂ¥ndhurst 2168 It was decided after the exectutive meeting that lposters advertising the dance would be put at prominâ€" â€"ent locations around the town. Ratepayers‘ Association Membersâ€" of the Association were very glad to hear that this K:n’- transportation . committee s*at last managed to accomplish something along the line of speedâ€" ing up traffic on main streets. YJpon good: authority Mr. Larry Stevenson, chairman of the comâ€" mittee, it was learned that the T.T.C., in conjunction with our own works department, are going to reâ€" &uir the holes in the roadway on ain Street. We know a good number of motorists will be glad to see this work being done, as it is a wonder if there haven‘t been some springs broken or tires cracked when tfie cars have hit some of these holes hard. This should certainly speed up traffic, as there is no doubt that with the roadway repaired, motorâ€" ists will go through at a fair speed instead of crawling along dodging the holes. The W.L.A. Constitution to Be . A considerable amount of midâ€" night oil has been burned by Viceâ€" President Owen Eaton and Secreâ€" tary Norm Gindop, during the past few weeks, in the drafting of the constitution â€" which will _ provide guidance for the Weston Ratepayâ€" ers‘ Association now and in the future. o If you suffer from arthritic, rheomatic, or neuritic pain, try this simple. inexpenâ€" sive home recipe.

At the last executive meeting, during which preliminarx discusâ€" sion on the adoption of the various sections of the constitution, took place, it was generally agreed among the members of the execuâ€" tive, that with the excellent start the committee had made and the sincere interest various members of the association were taking in the matter, there could be no reason why the Weston Ratepayers‘ Asâ€" sociation could not have a constituâ€" tion second to none, and one that would be an inspiration as well as a guidance and would provide a firm foundation upon . which to build in the future.
