90 Ne Lions Begin Campaign For Construction Of NewArtificial IceArena It was announced this week, that the Lions Club of Weston have completed plans for the construcâ€" tion of a large artificial ice arena to be erected in the recreation grounds, and will begin their camâ€" paign for public support sometime in the near future. The club has been fortunate in being able to purâ€" chase drill hall No. 13, now situatâ€" ed at Malion, which will be conâ€" verted into the new arenu. Originâ€" ally the building cost the governâ€" ment approximately $90,000 to build, but it was purchaseé by the local organization for $7,120, just oneâ€"eighth of its value. For some time this project has been uppermost in the minds of members of this club, but because of the war and exoryitmt prices of materials, it was found imposâ€" sible to go ahead with construcâ€" tion. The building will be disâ€" mantled at Malton and moved to the recreation centre, where it will be reassembled and an addition of 50 feet added to the length which is now 160 feet. The width of the building is 110 feet, and when the arena is completed, it will have an artificial ice surface as large as Maple Leaf Gardens, with a seatâ€" ing capacity of 3,000, Included in the plans are six dressing rooms with showers, «refreshment . booth, two ‘ hobby rooms, public rest rooms, skate repair .and accessory Since 1931, Gus Hogben, 521 Dunburn St., Hamilton and C. Basil Raynham of Weston, have been carrying on a friendly battleâ€"an annual mileage competition . on their bicycles. Mr. Raynham and Mr. Hogben, are the only two Canadians on the list of mileage recorders, run by a lgrga London, England newspaper, and they are, incidentally on the honor roll. Four other Weston cyclists enterâ€" ed last January, but they all either got cold feet, or else felt they did not have enough push «or the job and gave up, LAUNCH CAMPAIGN FOR NEW ICE ARENA Gus Hogben, who lost an arm at Arras in the first great war, is 62 years old and primarily he is a racing cyclist. Even at the age of 61 years, he bested all competitors â€"mostly 40 years youngerâ€"at the only 100 mile race held in Ontario. As for Basil Raynham, he is well known not only in his home town of Weston but also in the surrounding countryside, and is never seen without his bicycle, winter or summer. He is what is called a cycle tourist, and gatherâ€" edsmost of his miles on pleasure tours. All in all he has made nine trins to North Bay, thirteen. to Montreal, 14 to Ottawa, Sault Ste. Marie, four to Quebec City, and numerous _ other tours _ to New York State, Vermont, D.C., Virginâ€" ia, and north and south Carolina. Last Saturday, Mr. Raynham was approached by several Wesâ€" tonians and asked, "Why don‘t you buy a car?", to which he replied, "Notâ€" even the world‘s best car salesman could sell me an auto." Mr. Raynham feels that a car is a necessity to mm{l families, but that it is also a mighty costly item to run, and a threat to the public if driven carelessly. One thing is sureâ€"he gets plentg of fresh air, exercise and . troubleâ€"free thousâ€" ands of miles with no worries as a eyclist. _ _ _ 0 __ 225,719 Miles In 18 Yrs. Record Of B.
