You must be talking about the rich guys. At my house we spend every dime just paying bills, and sometimes we don't get all of them paid. With my money, it's here today and gone to- morrow - - I don't know where. No amount of money- juggling is going to make my dough go farther. Mr. Average Man When you say "here today and gone tomorrow", I can sym- pathize with you. But when you say "I don't know where (the money 'gies)," you lose my vote. Everybody can't be rich, but everybody can teke the trouble to find out how they're spending what they have. Why not take a month or two to keep track of your spending. At the end of the two-month period, evaluate your spending. List your expenditures in groups - food, clothing, shelter, transportation, entertainment and savings. You will then have a clear picture of "where your money goes" and will be better able to answer the really important question: am I putting my money into the things I need and that will give me the most satisfaction? If you decide the answer is "no", see if you can't cut down a little in some areas to allow yourself to spend more in others. That is the only way I know to "make the bucks go farther." Sign in a cash-and-carry discount store: "The whole price down, and think of it - nothing a week for the rest of your life! " NEWS ABOUT FORMER TERRACE BAY RESIDENT If the true definition of success is the coupling of youth with experience, then Buck Matiowsky is un- doubtedly the most successful recreation director that Brandon has ever had. Harnessing the drive of this youth with the exper- ience of his predeccesors, Buck has succeeded in breath- ing new life into the recreation program of our city. Although Buck has been in Brandon as the city's Director of Recreation for less than a year, he has done much towards making Brandon an aggressive recreation minded city. Graduating from the University of Guelph in On- tario with a Recreation degree, Buck is now serving as the Public Relations officer' and Publicity Officer for the Brandon Wheat Kings. His job with the club will be to establish good public relations with personnel, the general public, and to co-ordinate all publicity for the hockey team. Buck is also the manager of the Wheat City Arena. Despite being a new-comer to Brandon, he is no new comer to this area, being born and raised in Oakburn. Apart from his current stay in Brandon, Buck has spent several years working in Ontario and other parts of Manitoba.
