[All oily rags should be discarded in a metal can with solf closing cover and not thrown into out-of-the-way places where the oil may slowly oxidize and finally cause spontaneous ignition of the rags.

To the strains of "Thc West, 4 Nest and You", Mart Kenney and his orchestra closed off a well attended dance at the Recreation Hall on Tuesday night. The crowd was not too large and thosc people who were not Kenney fans before probably are now, Most of the comments appeared to sum up as follows -~ "Best dance of the season", Meredith Nelson of the Recreaticn Committee and Bill Borsum of the Kiwanis Club representating the organizations which brought the orchestra here both stated that they were pleased to break even financially on the venture and feel that the main thing was te bring outside entertainment to the Community. Thoy both feel that this was an experimental venture, and since it was so well received, will endeavour to sponsor other available entertainment in the future. 0=0~0 IDLE THOUGHTS TROM JN ONLOOKELR:!

Perhaps all that would be heard over that car radio (parked ever so close to the window) night "be Mia Perkins" or "Rcad to Happiness". While the series lasted, there was a real esprit de corps around ths Mill and Office. We even worried whether our good friend the Mill pool maker would break even or nake a small profit, and worse still, would the statistics being worked on come out with a Yankee or Dodgers' nome written in in place of the proper production figure or freq- ueney rate. So, morc power to the ball games, but what a let-down for the Dodger fans, 0~0=0 Psge 3 WHO'S MOVING IN: In view of the interest shown last year regarding new tenants taking up resid- ence in new and older sections of the towh- site, we are again instituting a brief resume of the work history and home-town origin of this group: Dave & (Laura) "Tops" Locking have taken up residence in a new home at 464 Princess ive, Born in Fort Frances, Ont., Dave was educated at Fort Frences High School and received his B.A. at Western University, Lcndon, Ontario, The Lockings came here after 5 years at Kapuskasing.
